Perfectly organized and safe travel around Uganda.
Well organized trip. Communication with the organizer fast, immediate answers, quick action, helpfulness, striving for absolute client satisfaction and meeting any requirements. Any expected and unexpected objective changes in the travel program solved immediately and without the slightest problems. Maximum professional approach. The guide, Paul, was smiling, immediate, welcoming, casually communicative, with many years of experience accompanying tourists. It solves any unexpected problems immediately without any limited or disrupted client comfort.
The deal has always been very simple. No additional fees or "forced tips" were required during the entire 8-day trip. (only explicitly voluntary, about which the guide or organizer did not even need to know ..., purely at the client's discretion).
Visiting and traveling around Uganda is safe and hassle under the auspices of GRASSROTZ. The trip met expectations, we visited and saw everything we planned.The advantage of GRASSROTZ is that it has an office in Europe, so you can pay in euros to a bank account in the Netherlands. (Europeans do not lose unnecessary bank fees, which can reach 10% of the total price).
If you are considering a trip to Uganda, (and want to experience gorillas and chimpanzees really up close, Safari, sailing on the Nile, lots of hippos and crocodiles, a mighty waterfall, lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants and many other animals, unadulterated local villages, and beautifully diverse living environment), and you do not want to have any problems, agree with GRASSROTZ as soon as possible!
...and happy even now in a time of COVID madness... :-)
Warning! Don't forget to notice that all transfers between parks are quite time consuming, it gets up every day at 5:30 or 6:30, it's quite hot in the Entebbe area (36-38st C), it's cold again in the mountains (12-16s tC). Customize your program if you can, plan it for as many days as possible ... (8 days is the minimum, I recommend 10).

Really good value for money
We really enjoyed the safari and saw the big 5! It was easy to negotiate with the company and the tented lodges were amazing! We saw many animals in action and could warmly recommend.
I hoped for the guide to tell us more about the animals on his own initiative, now we mainly got answers to the questions we proposed. Always good to check the correct exchange rate by yourself.
The safari was really good value for money and the company is really trustworthy!

Best communication and support during the tour.
The communication with Nelson was amazing from the early beginning. We booked 4 days safari tour (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Nelson created super conditions to book a tour: no any payment in advance and flexible dates (it means we were able to change the dates without any charges).
The tour was great: we saw lots of animals. We didn’t see the whole big 5 (we saw all except the leopard), but this is the reason to come again.
Nelson was so supportive during the whole trip and helped us to explore the best adventure ever.
Highly recommend Focus in Africa and I’ll contact Nelson again for my future trips.

This tour was life changing and amazing
Emanuel is a great man, he picked us up at the airport, got us sim cards and food. He made sure we had a great experience. The safari and game drives were mind blowing. The food was super yum, the sleeping arrangements were all comfortable. Everything was really smooth and according to plan. I expected less actually, but they exceeded my expectations.

Perfectly Planned Trip of a Lifetime!
My wife and I just returned from Africa. Ten days of our trip were curated by Primate Safari Experiences. Our experience from beginning to end could not have been better. Scheduling the trip online was both exciting and effortless thanks to Edward, who coordinated and tailored our trip to our specifications. We traveled to Rwanda, Congo, and Uganda. They coordinated a gorilla safari in Congo, travel across the entire country of Rwanda, Congo, and Uganda, and multiple safaris in Uganda including Queen Elizabeth National Park which is spectacular. They also scheduled the mandatory Covid testing that we needed along the way and helped us obtain all visas and park entry fees. The logistics they put together was amazing and the entire trip went as smoothly as could be. Special thanks to both of our guides (both named Moses). They were professional, knowledgeable, and excellent drivers on some exceedingly difficult roads. They also were amazing ambassadors of each country we visited and brought a unique perspective that we found priceless. They both spoke multiple languages (including perfect English) which was essential to easy transit throughout all of the various countries. We experienced wildlife like we never imagined, and the gorilla safari at Kahuzi-Biega National Park in the DRC was life-changing. The hotels we stayed at were five star and were all welcoming, safe, and authentic. We enjoyed some of the best food and drinks in all of our years of travel, in particular during the long drives when our guides chose local restaurants and hotels for a midday meal. We highly recommend this company and could not imagine a better experience!

Great experience, from start to finish!
This was a really great experience. The driver was knowledgeable about animals and knew where to spot them. He was also a really good driver. The chef prepared real meals, I had assumed we'd eat sandwiches the whole trip. We saw a lot of animals for it to not have been the dry season. It was a little wet the second time we camped so bring clothes that'll keep you warm and dry. Overall a great addition to our honeymoon trip!

A Holiday to Remember
A truely exceptional trip, with every detail looked after and thought about. Rose recommended the perfect house within the Borana Conservancy, suiting all of the family's needs - from activities suiting young children to older teenagers, there was plenty to keep everyone occupied and entertained. Rose's service was impeccable, we were in constant communication throughout the preparation of our trip, and her support was excellent. Our stay could not have been any more perfect, so much so, we even ended up extending our stay for another week. The conservancy offers so much, from fantastic wildlife to stunning scenery, with guides ready to suit your every need whether you want to go for a ride, drive or walk.
