A beautiful country with exceptional service industry and private wildlife encounters
We travelled through Uganda and Tanzania over three weeks. The time we spent in Uganda was incredible. The country is a lot quieter to travel through, which makes the game drives feel intimate when you have the wildlife all to yourself during encounters. Though it is not as popular as other destinations in Africa, it should be. The wildlife viewing was amazing, the accommodations (we stayed mid range) were way above anything we could have dreamed, and the service and kindness we experienced from locals was unmatched. The scenery was gorgeous, the varying landscapes accross the country were awe inspiring. My husband and I had the most memorable trip of our lives here and would recommend it to anyone.

Awesome experience
Our recent trip to Uganda could not have met our expectations more. The country has well deserved the title of ‘pearl of Africa’, the country is impressive, the landscapes are spectacular and having an endangered wonder like the gorilla cannot be a greater attraction to visit it. If you add to that the possibility of seeing chimpanzees in their habitat, lions, hyenas, leopards, etc....
On the downside is the infrastructure, access to Biwindi Park is poor, something I think the country needs to improve. Nor is it perceived that the money paid to enter the park goes directly to the local communities.
Regarding the operator, I can only recommend it highly: East African Jungle Safaris, Ruth was attentive to all our needs and the accommodations are of excellent quality, the food too and the driver/guide assigned was very good too, thank you very much Ruth!!!!

What a nice surprise
However, we where surprised and charmed by the overall Safari experience we had. Wildlife in abundance (organised between the different parcs) and close up - a lot on foot. So Uganada is not only a Gorilla and Schimpanzee destination, but big 5 country. Lots of elephants, hippos (grazing), buffalo, giraffes, white rhinos (in a sanctuary but not to be missed), lions, leopards, gorillas, schimpanzees, etc., etc.
The lodges were good and authentic (Mwyea your Out of Africa lodge, Paraa nicely on the NIle River bank, Kimbali Forest Camp a mid-range absolute fair value, Rushuga Gorilla Camp and luxury Kimbari Lodge), food well prepared and people very kind and accomodating.
Our trip was organised by Tuable Safari. Jamal was our local guide and driver. Excellent Safari

vehicle, very knowledgable guide. There was a mix-up with one of the lodges, but it got sorted out. The organisation was spot on and I can highly recommend the tour operator.Due to the cost of the gorilla and schimpanzee permits Uganda is not a cheap Safari destnation, but absolutely worthwile. Overall you find a top offering at a fair price.

Amazing country with beautiful people, culture and wildlife.
Uganda is a must visit travel destination, I visited 5 National Parks, saw amazing animals, primates and enjoyed great cultural experiences. I have been to over 28 countries and Uganda is close to the top of list. I am so thankful to LuLu Safari and my amazing guide Sam and Elvis for a safe and enjoyable trip. 🙏🏽

The friendliest and colourful wildlife I have ever seen!
I went on safari with my girlfriend in Uganda in December.
It was definitely the best way to explore the animals and the landscape there. We were able to see much more and much closer to the wildlife than we expected. The accommodation met western standards and was always fine.
We would love to go again!

Uganda delivered amazing wildlife, unmatched friendliness and beautiful scenery.
Tubale Safaris, and Arthur in particular, were simply amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for Arthur. We felt welcome and safe the entire trip. The wildlife that we saw was beyond our wildest expectations - we saw the big 5, plus so much more wildlife. The scenery was green and beautiful, and the information about the things we were seeing made the experience even better. The accommodation we stayed in was well above what we expected and nothing was too much trouble in the lodges. The food on the entire trip was delicious, ranging from the lodge meals to local Ugandan food.
I would 100% recommend Uganda as a travel destination adn would suggest contacting Arthur at Tubale Safaris to plan the perfect trip for you.

It's definitely worth a visit
Great tour filled with unforgetable moments. Doing the 3 day gorilla trekking means that you will spend a lot of time in a car getting to and back from Bwindi National Park (road conditions in Uganda are unpredictable), but both the gorilla trekking itself as well as the visit to Lake Bunyonyi more than make up for the travel time. Highly recommended!

The ultimate african experience
We(end 50) had a wonderful 9 day privat safari with tubale safaris . The landscape varied between mountains , savanna and bushland. We were able to see all the big 5 , lot of monkeys , crocodiles,hippos ,giraffes , warthogs and antilopes ,zebras and a lot of nice birds. The top experience was the gorilla tracking at Bwindi NP. We will always remember that hour so close to a group of beautiful gorillas. The chimp tracking was amazing as well. On our trip we never felt unsafe or uncomfortable . Everyone who is looking for an unbelievable african experience , go to Uganda.
Our trip was well organized by Tubale Safaris. We would recommend this tour operator very much.
