Mutanda Lake Lodge far exceeded our expectations as a jumping off point for gorilla trekking. The food was excellent and the cabins were private and very well kept up.

Beautiful country, well organized parks
Great parks and the UWA does a really great job (we visited Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth and Kibale Nat'l Parks). Very low tourist numbers compared to Kenya and Tanzania. Wildlife not as dense on savannah, but more than compensated by low tourist numbers and Rwenzori backdrop.

I had a wonderful time
Uganda is a beautiful country with many different wild life type. The gorilla trekking was for sure a highlight but I have also enjoyed seeing the chips. As for other wild life type, I have seen many girrafes and tons of king fishers. The viewing of other animals, such as elephants or lions may not have been as good as in some other parks, such as Ethocia or Chobe but it was not bad. The most surprising part of the trip was seeing the poverty. Uganda must have the most corrupt and shameless politicians. In the 21st century people are still walking miles to get water and their roads are some of the worst of any places.

Extrordinary
We book our safari with Uzuri Uganda Safaris for 6 days, and was the best experience ever.
Since our first contact with the company, they were really helpful and answer to our questions. We were travelling for our honey moon, and the company adapt the accommodation to our budget.
We spent 6 days with Vincent, our guide that was really nice, we enjoy a lot talk with him, he explain us a lot of things and was really friendly.
We recommend the Uzuri Uganda Safaris .

It was a remarkable trip
It was with some trepidation I booked my 10 day trip with Lifetime Experience Safaris. I found Jesse-Tom responded almost immediately with any concern I had. I was greeted at the airport by my guide and driver Gerald (even though my plane was 6 hours late). Originally I was not going to go to Murchison Falls only do the gorilla trek but was extremely glad I did go. The number of animals in Murchison Falls NP was unbelievable. Then when I did the boat tour on the Victoria Nile the bird watching was superb. Over the course of the tour I found Gerald to be courteous and very knowledgeable. I would have to write a book for all the memorable experiences whether it was rhinoceros visit, the animals in Murchison, the gorilla trek (actual highlight of the trip), the chimpanzee tour, the golden monkey tour, the Bagodi swamp walk, the scenic beauty of the Murchison Falls, the beautiful Rwenzori Mountains or the fabulous meals it was a true Lifetime Experience. I would highly recommend the safari, the tour company and especially (if you're lucky enough) Gerald as your guide.

Amazing
We really enjoyed the tour of Uganda with Gatatu safaris. I found it was really good value especially as all the meals were included (the food was amazing) and the accomodation was also really good. We particularly loved the kasenyi safari lodge. The highlight was the gorilla trekking, which we did twice! The trek was hard but so worth it to see 2 different gorilla families up close, including babies. Stevie, one of the guides, arranged for us to do a Lion tracking experience one morning in Queen Elizabeth National Park so we were able to track lions off road and saw some tree climbing lions which was another highlight.
Awesome
One of my best trip ever. The walk in the jungle was amazing (and not too hard). Hanging out with the gorillas was an incredible experience. Our guide was very nice and explained us many things about the park we drove through.
Uganda is an amazingly beautiful country with stunning places to see. I really hope I will have the opportunity to come back.

Unforgettable experience with a lot of highlights - Many thanks at Bella and Grace
In comparisson to Kenya we saw less animals but we have seen the BIG FIVE and in addition Mountain Gorillas. All our accommodations were like expected with one extraordinary highlight. For our 25th wedding anniversery we got the honeymoon suite at Birdnest. From the first contact on we had a very good feeling with Bella and this was never disturbed by anything. A few days before we startet our roundtrip she informed us that Grace will be our guide. Grace is a very kind and lovely person. We had a lot of fun together and whenever we needed her support she helped us. In total we had a 13 days guided tour with a lot of unforgettable memories. In case that we will come back to Uganda then definitly I will do the trip again with Bella and her team. Most of the teammembers are women. I recommend Bella and her team 100%! Now after I finnished my review I noticed already that I forgot one important/interesting thing. Our car was cleaned each and every day.

Beautiful nature and delightful mountain gorillas!
There was only one problem - the car was not in the best condition. It did not start without pushing or pulling and so we could not shut down the engine during game drives. Also during the night safari, when ranger saw some red glowing eyes in the darkness, our engine shut down and we had to get out to pull the car and so we lost the animal.
My conclusion from our trip to Uganda:
if you are for:
lots of animals - go to Serengeti;
chimpanzees - go to nearest zoo (bad luck for us - this was second time this year they were unable to trek the chimpanzee's);
gorillas, birding, beautiful landscapes, friendly people - go to Uganda;
Best park in my opinion was Murchison Falls and safari by boat from Mweya peninsula

along Kazinga channel was very nice.Apart from prementioned problems we found our trip satisfactory.
I recommended Destination Jungle Safaris and especially guide George.
