Uganda particularly impressed us with its inhabitants and their wonderful friendliness. The gorilla trekking was unique, of course, but the other safari activities were also excellent. We highly recommend the community walks, which allowed us to meet some wonderful people. We were thrilled with our tour operator, African Finfoot Safaris, who put together a varied programme for us with great accommodation and an excellent tour guide.

Fantastic Wildlife Tour by Lulu Safari's but we wish we had more time!

5 / 5 5 /5

Ours was a private tour that we modified to 11 days without issue and got a great price from Lulu Safaris.

Picked up perfectly from the airport at the correct time, even though the flight was delayed, then a brilliantly arranged method of getting us to Mabamba Swamp for our Shoebill tour - we went by canoe whilst our bags and guide waited for the ferry. That saved us a lot of wasted time.

We saw lots of animals on the tour, but the drives were a lot longer than described meaning we didn't arrive to hotels until very late in the day, then leaving at dawn the following morning! With a different hotel almost every night, we should have had an extra five days to pace it more slowly.

I was hoping for many many birds but struggled due to not spending enough time in one place to search so I missed on some targets but the Chimps and Gorillas, Lions, Elephants, Rhinos etc made up for it.

I would recommend a data Esim at the very least,
Read more just in case. Our guide did arrange for a portable router so we had wifi in the jeep which was a great boost.

I would also recommend a LOT of small notes - USD or UGX - as there are a LOT of local guides, rangers, porters, hotel staff etc to tip as well as your main guide.

Unforgettable experience

I booked a 12 day safari with Beautiful Safaris Uganda. My guide, Kelly, was excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly, always attentive to any needs and accommodated changes to the trip part way through.

The itinerary included gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking, Lake Bunyonyi, Murchison Falls, the national parks – all of which were amazing. To see all this you cover long distances so you also get a great overview of the country with changes in scenery, towns, agriculture and economic conditions. The lodges were clean & tidy and good food throughout the trip.

The tour company kept in touch prior to traveling to Uganda answering all my questions of what to expect.

Put this on your bucket list, WOW.

Just wow. We loved this entire country and their people, what lovely, helpful, humble people. We felt safe everywhere we went (walking everywhere) and enjoyed everything from their sit down restaurants to the local food, rolex. There were offers of rides on motorcycles from locals looking for work, hellos from beautiful children and wooden canoes to take across the Victoria lake, or you could catch the ferry boat and see the locals transporting anything from live chickens to anything they could grow. We took a small plane ride from Entebbe to the gorilla areas and it was also amazing and safe. Our stay in the park, dead center in the forest was just beautiful. The movie "Gorillas in the mist". came to mind every morning, an entire new beauty for us. The gorilla "hunt" (find) was long (6 hours) and as it had poured rain the night before, we sloshed in mud past our ankles towards the end of the hike. Walking through the brush also got difficult near the end of our find.
Read more But, wow-was it ever worth it. What an amazing experience coming within feet of these beautiful creatures. We watched two littles wrestling, and an annoyed mother scold them, as one took off and the other seemed to be in time out. When we returned, our hotel staff was waiting for us with refreshing juice and clean slippers as they removed our shoes, which we later found as clean as new in our room; they never even asked who we were or which room was ours. My advice...GO. Oh, and we are 67 and 70 years old. We were exhausted, but we kept up just fine.

A superb mini safari with Gatsio Safaris to Murchison Falls which included a Nile Cruise and visit to the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary.
Not very crowded and a wonderful array of wildlife in the park. Beautiful Lodge at Pakuba Safari Lodge

Amazing opportunity to see gorillas in their natural habitat

This was an amazing experience. From Murchison Falls, Kibale National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, crossing the equator twice, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Lake Bunyonyi, to Lake Mburo, this trip did not disappoint. Chimpanzee, gorilla and golden monkey trekking were the highlights for me. Being a solo traverler, Naseeb Safaris Uganda planned an incredible trip within my timeframe and budget. I had a terrific guide for the entire journey. I saw some amazing wildlife, incredible landscapes and had mostly great weather, give or take a rain shower or two. Uganda is the ultimate destination for gorilla trekking.

Stunning!

Our safari included the chimpanzee trek in the Kibale National Forest, the savannahs in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel, and the gorilla trek in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. We were so fortunate to see many, many animals; we had exceptional guides; wonderful lodgings and truly amazing experiences. The boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel was a lesson in how many species of animals can live in peaceful co-existence along with people, in the same small area of land and sea. Uganda is a stunningly beautiful country with warm and welcoming people. Our tour guides were knowledgeable, professional, went out of their way to enhance our experiences and kept us safe in every way. Thank you to Wayfairer, our travel agent and Wild Frontiers, our tour guides. Exceptional and highly recommended!

We spent 8 days in Uganda doing a safari with Dav Safaris, it was fantastic! Saw so many animals gorillas, elephants, lions, hippos and crocodiles. The lodges were very nice and the organization perfect. The land is beautiful and the people very warm and welcoming!
