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

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.

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.

Enjoying Nature in Uganda
My guide Herman was excellent. He took good care of me throughout the one-week safari that I signed up for. He amazed me with his knowledge of birds even though I wasn't on a birding trip. He was an excellent and safe driver as well.
I was able to see many types of large and small animals throughout the week, including elephants, various types of monkeys, lions, and all types of antelopes. For me personally, the highlight was seeing the chimpanzees and the gorillas up close. It truly is an awe-inspiring experience that is difficult to put into words.
One last thing - the lodges were amazing and much better than I expected. They were truly top-notch, with picturesque views.
Overall, Tubale Safari company gave me an unforgettable experience that will last a lifetime.

Breathtaking
Queen Elizabeth NP was by far one of the most scenic and godly parks I’ve ever been to. The rolling planes and lush greenery gave way to herds of Buffalo, a pride of lions, and a fairly new (based on side) herd of elephants.
As well, he also went above and beyond to ensure I saw the big cats, as I mentioned that has been a dream of mine.
Aside from that, I got to experience chimp trekking, and see and feel the power eminating from the alpha chimps, as we viewed their hierarchy.
From Queen Elizabeth, Brian took me to Mpigi, where I toured a sanctuary.
After my short stay in Mpigi, I got to experience the Nile in Jinja.
Uganda was fortunately my home for 5 weeks, while I was on internship.

The people, food, and sense of community is something I am definitely missing.When I return to Africa, I definitely will be stopping by and paying Ngege Kufurahi Safaris another visit, to perhaps see Murchison Falls or Mburro NP!
Be sure to book through them as they are very accommodating to student budgets, and go above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable.

Beautiful country with diverse scenery and wildlife
We absolutely loved our trip in Uganda. We spent 14 days on a round trip and experienced many different landscapes and saw many interesting animals. The beautiful mountains with rainforest and tea plantations was a lovely contrast to the savannah and forest national parks. A highlight of course was seeing the mountain gorillas & chimpanzees. The people of Uganda were always friendly & welcoming and showed amazing hospitality. We always felt very safe. We traveled with Home to Africa and had the best experience. 10/10 would recommend.

Unforgettable!
It was very nice to meet local people, to be guided by the Park’s rangers to spotting animals. We were pleasantly surprised to see how much passion and dedication these people welcomed us and made us discovering the wonders of this country.
The Ugandan population is always smiling and friendly: the children smiling when you greet them in the street

and the songs and dances of the women we met during the tour were unforgettable moments.A special thank goes to Patrick, our driver and guide. Patrick contributed greatly to our wonderful stay: a lovely person, punctual and always ready to tell about his country.
Thanks to his explanations and experience gained over the years, we were able to see the 'big 5' and discover many other animals... including the leopard, which is usually very difficult to spot. We also really appreciated Patrick as a skilled driver: we always felt safe during the tour. Thank you Patrick for making these days a very special holiday, a magnificent tour that we will never forget!
