beautiful, welcoming and amazing place
we had a group of 9 people, divided into 4 groups. they picked each group up at the airport and dropped them to the hotel they were staying at that first night (before the safari officially began).
we visited the major parks, sat with the Gorillas and had a chimp and rhino trek. all were amazingly beautiful. we were able to hike along with the Giraffes, we were ~6 feet from the Gorillas (you need a special visa for the Gorillas and it you may need to buy them a year or more in advance - our tour operator took care of this for us). additionally, we were able to see (close up) the tree climbing lions, leopards, elephants, countlesss zebra and antelope, warthogs (a favorite), hippos, water buffalo, and more. not really birders, but there were many, many different types.
all the accommodations (lodges) were extremely nice -- I would guess 4 star if compared to a hotel -- all of our meals were arranged for us --
we felt safe and welcomed everywhere we went. 10 days was barely enough to see everything - -it did involve alot of miles on the road, but this went by surprisingly fast as there was always something to look at out the window.
the USD goes far there, but you are better having Ugandan shillings to pay for things.
cannot recommend this trip enough - - seeing a Gorilla family so close is an unbelievable experience, almost surreal - huge, but gentle.

Gorilla Sensation
We had a wonderful time visiting the Gorillas at Biwindi NP. People were extremely friendly, the vegetation was great, Rainforest mainly at this area. We booked with https://www.epicugandavacation.com/ and travelled with Godwin, who took care of us marvelously. We will come back for another visit to Uganda, to see more of the country and the friendly people.

Uganda lives up to its title of "The Pearl of Africa"
I used S2G Tours and Travels for a wonderful 8 day tour of Uganda. Included were: white rhino sanctuary, chimp tracking, Murchison Falls and Kidepo. I stayed in a nice mix of tented camps, lodges and hotels. Uganda has an enormous variety of human cultures, scenery and wildlife habitats, so it is "efficient" to pack in a lot in a short time span. Everyone's experience will be different, but I have spent significant time in 14 other African countries (as well as 2 previous visits to Uganda) and my personal experience is that the Ugandans that I have met are the friendliest people in Africa. S2G Tours handled all of my bookings and transport and it all worked near flawlessly. I stayed an additional day in Entebbe and I completely avoided Kampala (I think good choices). Ultimately, would I do it again myself or recommend this to family + friends: Yes!

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.

giraffes and buffalo as well as various antelopes and birds. By lunchtime I was on a cruise boat chugging along the Nile, stopping for lovely sightings of crocodiles, hippos, elephants and many birds. Late that evening due to the incredibly bad traffic conjestion I was back in Entebbe for my very early morning international flight.

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. 🙏🏽

Uganda is an unrivaled destination to see mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, elephants,&hippopotamus's.
The people of Uganda were amazingly hospitable. Dav Safaris provided an excellent 7-Day safari to several major National Parks where we saw a wide variety of large animals and birds.
The highlight for us was trekking mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. We will never forget watching this family of gorillas led by a very large silverback gorilla for an hour.
I highly recommend Dav Safaris to anyone seeking to experience the beauty of Uganda and variety of large animals in the wild.

Exceptional beauty and poverty.
I visited the western half of Uganda that is full of green and wonderful. Murchison and Queen Elizabeth National Parks provide the opportunity to meet lots of wild species, and In Bwindi Impenetrable Forest you can visit gorillas. The beauty of Bunyonyi lake is go beyond everything. The country is basically safe, the lodges are below European standards, but the surroundings and athmosphere make them unforgettable experiences. The Ugandan kitchen is really good with mainly pork, chicken, beef and fish dishes, and a lot of fruits (mainly water melon and ananas). While taking the long routes between national parks you can watch the villages, markets and people along the road.

It's an excellent country to see the whole range of animals including primates
Our highlight was definitely the gorilla trecking. It was amazing to so those huge primates from very close and oberve them eating, playing and commuinicating. It was amazing how clean all the accomodations were on the whole trip. People are friendly, talkative and welcoming. We felt safe on the whole trip. We will come back soon again.
