Amazing wildlife, beautiful scenery
Uganda has been wonderful. As a solo female traveler, I have felt nothing but safe here. The wildlife atvthe national parks is incredible- I’ve seen a shoebill stork, baboons, many different antelope, many many elephants, giraffes, lions, warthogs, buffalo and best of all, mountain gorillas. It was the trip of a lifetime, an amazing amount of animals in a relatively small country. I loved Ugandan food (lots of veg and vegan options) and the people have been great. Highly recommend.

Amazing destination, can't recommend it enough.
Uganda is a fantastic travel destination offering amazing scenery, plenty of wild animals to see in their natural environment and really nice people. I felt safe all the time and in certain places the level of professionalism was better than in countries that are considered more traditional destinations. I stayed in superb lodges. I love the fact that Uganda really cares about their nature and their animal and uses them with respect to attract and host tourists. Among the animals that you can see in large numbers: giraffes, hippos, elephants, zebras, antilopes , empalas, buffalo and of course the chimps and gorillas.

Great wildlife, friendly people, good value
Our driver guide was very very good, did everything with us in mind, getting us good positions and locations when ever possible. Chimp tracking and mountain gorilla tracking were the obvious highlights. Weather in June means the end of the rainy season, and while we had a couple of huge cloudbursts, they were over in short period of time. June would appear to be a very good time to visit Uganda. The country appears to be safe as a tourist destination, and at no time were we threatened or felt unsafe. A very enjoyable experience.

A country green and lush, helpful friendly people, amazing birdlife and animals
A green and lush country at all times of the year. with helpful and friendly people. There is huge variety in the countryside from the lakes of Mutanda in the southwest to the plains of the north, the unusual crater lakes. The birdlife is amazing so much variety - many types of kingfishers and every other bird. Of course seeing the Gorillas and chimpanzees is a highlight and few other countries can offer this. The game parks have a wide variety of life and the river trips are well worth it. Also Rhino walking trips. Altogether a wonderful country to visit. African adventure vacations with Mustafa as the guide were terrific

Birding and primates destination
Uganda is a safe destination. Is has a true African vibe. Friendly and welcoming to tourists.
If you are into birding and if you want to see a big variety of primates, Uganda is a good option. Gorilla trekking is expensive and too commercialized.
General game viewing is Ok, but there are many counties like Sout-Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia where game is more abundant and much cheaper to experience.

Exceeded my expectations
Uganda exceeded my expectations. It was quite clean and organized and very very indeed very much green! And that pleased me much. Many nice places to go: Islands in Victoria and bunyoni lake among others. Of course traffic is a big problem, especially if you can not use a Boda Boda (motorcycle táxi)

Uganda is rich and diverse in all it nature.
My trip to Uganda was drying the month of April. I was told it was going to be raining but quite the opposite happened and it turned out to be mostly sunny the entire week.
I did my tour with Home to Africa and my tour guide was William. The tour company was great and flexible around my timings and requests.
I managed to see everything that was offered and more. Uganda a is rich is its nature and diverse in its wildlife. I particularly enjoyed all my stays as all the lodges were accommodating and the people are ever so gracious. The food is over flowing and flavourful and I only wish I could stay longer.
I especially enjoyed the majestic elephants and the Gorillas. The country certainly has an abundance and co exist freely especially in todays world.
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip in Uganda and am certainly looking forward to my next trip back.

Majestic
The gorilla Leisure Lodge is the absolute best lodge to stay at for the Gorilla Trekking. It's the same price as all the others but since it has only been open since Nov. 2022 the facilities are still like brand new. Everything about it was like a 5 star hotel ... food - 5 stars, Service - 5 stars - Accommodations 5 - Star.
And the Gorilla Trek is indescribable. No words will be able to do it justice.

Totally awestruck
Uganda was a perfect Safari destination for us - lush green scenery, friendly people and the Big Five plus gorilla trekking. We chose to go low season for less crowds and cooler weather which was perfect. Our tour operator Kajie Safaris put together an itinerary for the ‘big loop’ including rhinos, Murchison and QE NPs, Kibale and Kabale, and Lake Mbaro. They also included lots of boat trips as we love being on water. All of the lodges they chose were beautiful, fantastically located with helpful staff who made our stay perfect. We loved travelling through the local villages and driving on the red, pot-hole full roads as well as past papyrus, tea, banana, sugar cane plantations. The local food was great and so was the food offered at the lodges - fresh, organic and well-cooked. Can’t wait to go back.
