A beautiful national park with huge numbers of amazing wildlife to see
During our stay, the most striking thing was the sheer numbers of animals in Chobe national park. We saw herds of elephants, giraffes, and buffalo among many other animals and saw 4 out of 5 of the Big 5. The river setting really made Chobe stand out and allowed for the viewing of animals in a different environment to many other safari locations.
We stayed at Chobe Marina Lodge which is a beautiful collection of lodges, right on the river. The food, accommodation and staff were all great as was seeing wild warthogs wandering past our accommodation.
Everything was taken care of by the attentive staff and we had the choice of river cruise safaris or truck safaris (we did both). One particular highlight has to be seeing the sun setting over the river from our boat.

Very professional well organised and very informative.
From the moment we booked communication was first class the information and advice we were given was so helpful. The safari tour itself was amazing, the accommodation and staff at Pangolin lodge was the best the food and the service could not have been better and was great value for money. Ursula’s cottage was awesome,once again the food and service was first rate the staff so obliging it was such a relaxing place to stay. Our guide Mortimer from Compass was so helpful and made us feel so relaxed and at home from the moment we arrived. I wouldn’t hesitate to strongly recommend Compass Odyssey to family and friends or anyone for that matter.

Excellent organisation and amazing safari
Everything was super smooth, no issues and we had a fantastic safari. The 3 day tour worked really well with our itinerary and also allowed us to pack loads in from a boat tour, to a game drive to a Bush walk!

An exquisite feeling to be home in the middle of an exotic and untouched Africa.
I did a fly-in safari through Zimbabwe with African Bush Camps in October. I stayed at Somalisa Camp, in Hwange National Park, Bumi Hills Safari Lodge, on the banks of the Lake Kariba and finished with Zambezi Expeditions and Kanga Camp in Mana Pools. Each camp was so different and geographically diverse that this itinerary gave me a complete overview of the country's most remarkable landscapes. I learned a lot about the animals and listening to guides telling little stories about the bush was fascinating. Is was also a pleasure to go back to camps after the activities because the staff members were so welcoming and so considerate that I really felt like a special guest or maybe... it was simply a feeling of going back home... in Africa.

How to See Uganda's Gorillas, Chimps + Safari
Uganda is an incredible safari destination. Working with experts is key. Let’s Go Travel’s experienced team made our complex itinerary easy, exciting and seamless. Joan and Alfy run a trusted business with knowledgeable, local drivers and guides, who genuinely care. From arrival to departure, visiting three different national parks, the team was there to ensure all ran smoothly. The itinerary was full of once-in-a-lifetime moments and cultural immersion. We had a blast.

Xxx Review - Eco Bamboo Tours
My wife and I have just finished a 5 day tour with Eco Bamboo tour and are still reeling from the great time we had.
Our choice of operator came via a friends recommendation who said the company were great value and importantly, worked hard to ensure that local communities benefit from tourism. They were spot on!
We decided to start from Kigali (Rwanda) so that the transfer to Bwindi NP was shorter (then that from Entebbe/Kampala). Godfrey picked us promptly on the 1st day and we set off for the Ugandan border which we crossed with ease.
Not long after, we were in the town of Kisoro, staying at Golden Monkey our base for the next 2 nights as we tackled the Gorilla trek. This was a truly amazing experience!
On the 3rd day we checked out and headed for Amajambere Iwacu Community Campground by Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, where Mt Sabinyo resides. After consecutive days of heart pumping exercise, for the most amazing reward of wildlife and scenery, we then headed South to rest up at Lake Bunyoni. Our original itinerary had us staying one night, but mid way through the trip we felt we might want an additional night to rest before the long drive back to Kampala/Entebbe, and EcoBamboo tours were very accomodating in making this possible.
Our final day saw the longest drive, broken up by a lunch stop just outside Mbarara and picture opportunity at the Equator before we were dropped at Entebbe.
We cannot thank Edison and all the Godfrey’s enough for their help, patience (with all our questions) and fantastic company in making this tour one we will never forget.
There is still so much for us to see in Uganda, so we will be back, and when we do, we will look to EcoBamboo tours.
