My husband and I did a 9 day tour of Uganda with Dav Safaris at the beginning of June. It exceeded our expectations. We arrived in Entebbe mid afternoon. I must say I found the whole process at the airport challenging and funny. After experiencing immigration queue jumpers, a whole family pushing in in-between my husband and myself, so I needed to wait for him to be processed before finding our bags, having our finger prints scanned and then trying to access our bags from the carousel where people blocked the carousel with at least 3 trolleys each, I thought to myself this is going to be an interesting trip. It also took me a couple of days to get used to seeing people (rangers, security guards and the like) walking around with machine guns. Just a heads up, you can only have 1 person at an ATM at a time. Well we started our trip with a visit to the rhino sanctuary, seeing so many rhinos up close was great and you could tell that the staff are very passionate about the conservation
Read more of and ultimately reintroducing them back into the wild of Uganda. With our tour covering Murchison Falls National Park, a boat ride on the Nile in Murchison National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, a boat ride in the Kazinga Channel , chimpanzees in Kibale Forest, gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Lake Bunyonyi, and Mabamba Swamp, we were able to see a large range of animals and birds. The animals seen included elephants, giraffe, rhinos, hyenas, lions, leapord, Jackson Heartbeast, crocodiles, Cape buffalo, Shoebill Stork, Thompson Gazelle, Civet, shell-less tortoise, warthogs, hippopotamuses, baboons, black and white Colobus monkeys, chameleon, chimpanzees and of course gorillas. Uganda is a bird lovers paradise, we saw at least 75 different bird species and we weren't even looking for birds. The people were warm, friendly and welcoming. They all seemed extremely happy and genuinely thankful that we chose their country to visit. The landscape of Uganda is gorgeous. Uganda has something for everyone and if you are only going to visit 1 country in Africa I encourage you to make that country Uganda.

Bwindi is unique and gorilla trekking is a once in a lifetime experience. Interacting with the Batwa people was also amazing and highly recommended!

14 day Uganda gorilla and chimp tour was tiring, overwhelming and outstanding all at once!

5 / 5 5 /5
We felt completely safe the whole time we were there (17 days). We walked around local towns without any safety concerns. We toured the whole country. We loved Kidepo National Park though it was quite a haul to get there! We are 64 and 70 years old. We hiked 10 miles up and down mountains in 5.5 hours to see the Mountain Gorillas which mind was blowing! Follow the tour guidelines though. We had long sleeves, hiking boots, long pants, leg gaiters and heavy gardening gloves which protected us. Others on the tour came in shorts, tennis shoes and no gloves and were miserable. You should be fit to undertake this tour. One person on our tour was not- got heat exhaustion and slowed the rest of the group way down until the guide made the decision to let the rest of us go on without that couple with the assist of one-armed ranger instead of two. All the national parks were outstanding. Our driver Jeck at Dav Safari was excellent and we felt completely safe with his driving and protection of us at
Read more all times. The only thing I would add was better response time by the Safari on email returns. We paid for our gorilla permits 6 months in advance. When it got to within 4 weeks of the trip, I emailed the safari and got no response for 10 days. When you pay out money in advance and don't get a response back to an email- I started to think that maybe the company went out of business. I did email again and got a response back in 24 hours which made me breathe a sigh of relief. Travel times listed on itinerary did not match real life traveling either. We spent much more time in the land cruiser than was listed on the itinerary due to road conditions and traffic so the tour companies really should put more travel time in the itinerary. It was a trip of a lifetime! Uganda is so beautiful!!

I love Uganda for its great weather, delicious fruits, beautiful nature, and wildlife. There are so many wonderful things, but the best part is the kind people!

I traveled in Uganda with Ngoni Safaris.
I found every aspect of this trip to exceed my expectations.
The natural beauty is truly stunning.
The people of Uganda are intoxicatingly charming; friendly, helpful with a heartfelt willingness to welcome you to their country.
I traveled to Murchison, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi, Jinga and Entebbe.
All accommodation exceed my expectations in terms of comfort and food quality.
All accommodations were clean, friendly and wonderfully authentic.
The game drives provided me with such incredible experiences.
I was fortunate enough to see the Big 5.
Also chimpanzee communities.
And a fabulous trek to make close contact with gorillas.
And so many other species and birds.
Lake Bunyonyi was an excellent evening motorboat experience.
The source of the River Nile in Jinga was amazing.
I really can not recommend Uganda enough.
I am returning next March!

Well, from the 1st until the the last day our Super guide Kiiza as well as the nicest ever manager Geoffrey from Kashari Resort Tours and Travel, did all possible and impossible to make our trip to Uganda unforgettable. Geoffrey well arranged our 9 days tour in order to see all main spots in Uganda according with great accommodations, while Kiiza, with whom we spent 24/9 and learned so much about Uganda, nice, smile and kindest person. Gorillas , Chimpanzee, animals, lakes you will see anyhow but to spend 9 days in row with such a nice person, like Kiiza, who did above and beyond in order make your trip interesting and unforgettable, this is what really counts! Thank you so much!

It was my first time in Africa. My brother and I (30 and 32) spent in Uganda 10 day. Uganda is simply a beautiful country and I can really recommend it to everyone! The people of Uganda are very friendly and I always felt safe.

We booked a tour of 10 days and we saw a lot of parks and all animals we wanted to see.

I would describe the „USP“ of Uganda as follow: It is the combination of different geographical areas that makes Uganda so diverse and beautiful. You have the safaris with the "big fives" animals, the rainforests mountains with the gorillas and Lake Victoria.

Highlight of our trip: to see the Chimpanzees and gorillas from very(!) close
