Call James for attentive smart service. I will call him again for my next visit to Africa.
Toured with Twinkle Star during October 2023. Six days, three hotels, one driver/guide. Each hotel was very different as were the sites. Each day was very special. Accommodation ranged from very good to the nicest hotel ever. George knows the parks and the animals. He knows where they are and where they are going. (He is the Wayne Gretzky of tour guides.) James had great planning suggestions and was also open to questions and changes; very easy to work with. Pricing was good too! I would use Twinkle Star/James again and would ask for George as my guide.

A trip of a lifetime
I had a great time and really enjoyed the trip. I only had a limited time so I wanted to see as much as possible. David helped plan the trip to maximize time even adding things along the way I didn't consider. My guide, Joseph was great. Very profesional, organized and punctual. He also had a great attitude and was friendly and knowledgeable. The primate watching was great, of course I saw the chimpanzees and mountain gorillas which was unforgettable. However I also saw 5-6 other kinds of primates along the way and even at lodges. The lodges they were unforgettable. The Kibale Forest Camp was right in the rainforest and had a great jungle trail around it. You slept in very fancy tents with bathrooms. The next spot was Bakiga Lodge which was even more spectacular perched on the edge of Bwindi Impenetrable national park overlooking the sloping tea plantations to the north. Finally, and best of all, was the Lake Bunyonyi Eco Resort which was on its own private island in the middle of lake Bunyonyi. Another spectacular nature trail and dugout canoeing made it very special. However the views were out of this world, I was legitimately concerned I had died and gone to heaven.

Wonderful trip through Uganda perfectly guided by David IJuka
We had a wonderful time in Uganda. Nature is astonishing, the people are friendly and the animals amazing. We had overnight stays in different lodges, each with their own assets. Our guide was able to get us safely from one destination to the other, despite the sometimes challenging trips. Big part of our superbe experience was thanks to him. David Iljuka combines large knowledge of nature and socio-economy, wildlife, history of the country etc. On top of that he loves to share it all and he fits in the group perfectly. In other words:if you are planning to discover Uganda and all of its treasures, we know who to advise as your perfect guide!

We were guided by a really prepared girl.

BEST GUIDE EVER
Everything was so smooth and perfect from start to finish! Communicated through WhatsApp to answer all my questions before booking, adapted the tour to my desire and my flights. But the best part of the tour was our guide Ayubu Kileo!!! He made sure we had the best view of the animals. He was always getting our car the closest and moved with the animals. He would stop whenever we wanted to take pictures. He would indulge in our photoshoots and take incredible photos of us! He always got us everywhere on time even though we were always late (for taking pictures).
He gave us so many insights and anecdotes on the animals or the parcs!
This experience was magical and I can’t recommend him enough!!!

Good time
They drove safely and looked for many animals. The food was very tasty and we had a great time, even though we didn't get to see all the big5, it was still a great time to come back to this tour company and safari!
