Amazing way to discover Uganda
An Amazing Way to Discover Uganda 🇺🇬 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our Ugandan adventure with Giant Holiday Safari was an incredible experience from beginning to end. Everything was well planned and organised, while still giving us the feeling that we were able to simply enjoy the journey.
Jimmy was fantastic throughout the planning process. He was always helpful, responsive and professional, and made sure all the arrangements were taken care of before we even arrived in Uganda.
We were also very lucky to have Moses as our guide. He was kind, reliable and had an incredible eye for wildlife. During our game drives, he seemed to spot animals that we would never have noticed ourselves! One of the highlights was seeing a leopard in Queen Elizabeth National Park, along with elephants, hippos and many other animals.
Every part of the itinerary had something special to offer. The Bigodi Swamp tour was a lovely introduction to the trip, the Kazinga Channel was full of wildlife, and the gorilla trekking was simply extraordinary — an experience that is difficult to put into words.
We also really enjoyed the lodges along the way, particularly Enshama Lodge, where waking up to elephants near our room was an unforgettable moment, and Rwakobo Lodge, which we loved.
If we had to choose one part that was less impressive, it would probably be Lake Mburo compared with the other parks we visited. Nevertheless, the walking safari was enjoyable and we still had some great wildlife sightings.
A useful thing to know when planning your trip is that you can request a different type of safari vehicle. If you have a particular preference, just ask Giant Holiday Safari and they can let you know the options and any additional cost.
All in all, this was a fantastic trip and Giant Holiday Safari played a big part in making it so memorable. We felt well looked after throughout the journey and would have no hesitation recommending them.
Thank you Jimmy for organising everything so well, and thank you Moses for being such a fantastic guide. We will definitely recommend Giant Holiday Safari to our friends and family!

An Unforgettable Ugandan Adventure with Giant Holiday Safari
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Giant Holiday Safari organising our trip to Uganda. From the very beginning to the end, everything was handled with great professionalism, care and attention to detail.
A special thank you to Jimmy, who was amazing throughout the whole process. He took care of all the bookings and the pre-trip organisation, was always helpful and made us feel confident that everything was under control. The trip was very well organised, and we truly felt looked after.
Our guide Moses was fantastic. He was extremely reliable, knowledgeable and incredibly good at spotting animals during the game drives! Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see a leopard in Queen Elizabeth National Park, as well as so many other animals. He really contributed to making the safari special.
We enjoyed every part of the adventure: chimpanzee tracking and the Bigodi Swamp tour, Queen Elizabeth National Park and the incredible Kazinga Channel, the unforgettable gorilla trekking experience, and our time in Lake Mburo. The lodges were generally excellent, with Enshama Lodge and Rwakobo Lodge being particular highlights for us. Seeing elephants right outside our bedroom at Enshama was an unforgettable experience!
Gorilla trekking was absolutely incredible and one of those experiences we will never forget. It was genuinely emotional — I even cried! ❤️
Lake Mburo was a little less impressive compared with the other parks, but we still enjoyed the walking safari and managed to spot many animals. The boat ride was not quite as good as we had hoped, but once again Moses was very helpful and made sure everything went smoothly.
One small piece of feedback is that it would be helpful to know when booking that different types of safari vehicles can be requested. If you have a preference, simply ask Giant Holiday Safari and they can check the available options and any difference in price.
Overall, our experience with Giant Holiday Safari has been excellent, and we would absolutely recommend them!
Thank you, Jimmy, for organising everything with such professionalism, and especially for arranging for us to have Moses as our guide. You helped make our Ugandan adventure truly unforgettable. 🦍🦁🐘
Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Outstanding Safari Experience
The experience with Lion King Adventures was nothing short of outstanding from the initial contact inquiring about safari options through the completion of the safari and return to the airport. They were very flexible in structuring a safari that addressed all of our interests and providing it at an affordable price. The staff was very helpful throughout the process in structuring the safari as well as making adjustments driven by airline flight changes. Once on safari, our guide Goodluck (Goody) was exceptional. He went above an beyond to ensure that our safari was spectacular. He knew exactly where to look for the animals to ensure that we saw all of the animals we were hoping to see and many more. He had the eyes of an eagle and could spot animals hidden by the tall grasses where most people would have driven right by them. We were able to see the Big 5 as well as the Ugly 5 during the safari. He also maneuvered extremely well to monitor the Wildebeest movement to ensure we had a front row seat to watching the spectacular Wildebeest migration across the Mara River. Lion King Adventures and our guide Goodluck exceeded all of our expectations resulting in a safari experience that we will never forget. I highly recommend Lion King Adventures if you are looking for an outstanding safari experience.

Very knowledgeable of the animals and their behavior.
Definitely worth the time even for just a one day tour of Pilanesberg.

Absolutely fantastic tour!
Peter, our guide, was fantastic. He located animals so easily, giving us great viewing spots and allowing us as much time as we needed at each spot to enjoy the scenery. He provided facts and was able to answer questions around the animals and landscapes. It was nice doing a tour with someone where you could see a genuine love for the animals as he was eager to show us as much as possible.
We saw all of the big 5, plus more and managed to see the migration which was a surreal experience.
The tour itself was very well planned and each accommodation was very nice. The bedrooms and food was great in each one and many had great seating areas attached to the rooms where you could sit and enjoy the landscape.
Would thoroughly recommend!

Once in a lifetime travel
We lived a once in a lifetime experience with Pride Mark Safari thanks to Amos and the 13 days tailor-made trip.
Our stages were Ziwa, Murchinson Falls NP, Queen Elizabeth, Kalinzu forest, Ishasha sector, Bwindi, Mgahinga Gorilla NP, Lake Bunyonyi, Lake Mburo NP and finally Entebbe.
We chose mid-range accomodations and I really loved Tabingi, Ishasha Pride and Eagle’s Nest lodges.
Amos leadership, animal and culture knowledge and driving capabilities were always perfect. He satisfied every desired we had during the travel planning, as consequence if you have any wish let him know everything in advance and he will take care of it.
One final consideration on gorilla trekking: before taking it I thought it would be amazing…but I assure you it’s way more fascinating than the expectation. Simply once in a lifetime experience.
I totally recommend Amos and Pride Mark Safari for your Uganda Travel.

We had a great time!
We spent two wonderful days with Shady in Amboseli National Park. Absolutely everything worked out perfectly (from our pick-up at the hotel in Nairobi to the drop-off at the airport) and Shady was such great company. There was not a question during our safari that he couldn’t answer. :-) Also Amboseli Sopa Lodge, where we spent the night, was really beautiful so that we would have loved to stay longer. We will definitely book with this company again! :-)
