What an Amazing Beautiful and Friendly Country!

Uganda is an amazingly beautiful country! With nice accommodations, beautiful scenery and great variation. From the savannah landscapes of Elizabeth National Park, to the great lakes with and the jungle of the impenetrable forest of Bwindi.

The wildlife is great, with the Mountain Gorillas but with also many other different kind of species like Chimpanzees, Hippo's, Uganda cobs, Lions and even Leopards. Some more abundant then others of course.
Uganda does also have a very rich birdlife.

I expected lots of rain but even when we were there, in the rainy season, the number of days we had rain were very limited. We had great weather with a lot of nice and sunny days.

The people in Uganda have good English skills and are really very friendly.

Only the roads could use a big upgrade. Prepare to have some bumpy rides!

Amazing holiday with Go Explore safaris

This was a well-planned holiday and the service provided by Go Explore safaris and it was world class. Everything for the hotels locations to the standard of service whilst on safari we couldn’t have gone any better. I would recommend the service of Gorilla tour booking safaris to anybody thanks to the team and our driver Dickson who was so professional in taking us all over Uganda.

Uganda has an abundance of wildlife - from the gorillas in Bwindi to the chimpanzees in KIbale, and then big game in other national parks such as Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls. It's also called the Pearl of Africa for a reason - the scenery is surprising in it's beauty, many parts of the country are so green and lush and the south-western corner around Lake Mutanda has some of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. We stayed in a some camps that really gave us that wild 'bush' feeling, complete with hippos and hyenas outside the tent.

Excellent safari experience

The wildlife (especially the primates) is amazing and surprisingly accessible. The wilderness is very enjoyable. We've been to other parts of Africa (mostly southern Africa) and Uganda is refreshingly very unique and varied. The drives along the countryside is also a lot of fun. The people are very friendly and almost everyone speaks English, which made it convenient for us. We went in July and the weather was spectacular. We went mostly to the Western parts (Bwindi and QE NPs) and also stayed near Lake Victoria.

Fantastic. It was much more than I expexcted.

All the parks we visited were all different. Sometimes some rain, but did not bother us. Most of the accomodations were good , but one cottage was not good and also dirty.
Food was good and diverse. Breakfast was simply but good.
Trasport was very good. We have a super good car.
Our guide and driver Marc Obwalatum was a very good driver and also a very good guide. Kindly, helpfull, caring, modest, humor and he knows what he wants. Excellent!!
Experience had a very good programm for us!!

It was a beautiful journey.

During the three-week journey through the beautiful country Uganda I have thoroughly enjoyed the wild what I've seen during the game drive by a number of national parks. In particular the numerous birds that I've seen was for me as a bird lover awesome. I have mostly chosen the Western cuisine and the food was good. The minivan was fine. Also from the cultural trips, such as a visit for instant to the sugar factory, a salt mine and a brewery I have enjoyed. In short, a 10. This was mainly due to our guide and driver Marc Obwaltum. Thanks to its good explanation, patience, kindness, I have had a wonderful holiday, which will continue for a very long time in my memories.

The most beautiful holiday country I have ever visited

All that I've seen, far exceeded my expectations. Especially the wild and the birds that I've seen I found fantastic. The sunrise and the sunset were beautiful. We had a fantastic guide Marc Obwalatum. He brought us each day along bumpy, smooth and non asphalted roads to our lodge. Most lodges I found good, the lodge at the Sippy waterfalls what less. Our guide has told much about Uganda, such as habits, tradition, the population and so on. Thought it was clever that he knew the names of all birds and there were many. I got through his explanation a very different and positive image of Uganda. Sure to recommend Uganda to others
