Good but not amazing

3 / 5 3 /5
5 / 5 3 / 5 3 / 5 1 / 5

We went to Bwindi in May ans the experience was good , seeing these animals is a unique experience.
I think we were not lucky enough to see a big silver back as the one we saw was small. I think the price is pretty high for what you get to be honest
Our guide was not as attentive as I expected and we had a elderly person in out group who hired a a porter who was not that helpful
Nice experience in general

Unique experiance Uganda

5 / 5 5 /5

After having been on Safari in Kenia and in South Afrika, we choose Uganda as a destination to experiance what we saw as the ultimate highlite in Safaris…… the chimpansee and Gorilla trekking in Uganda. We visited a week end of April, still rainy season.
We booked through a local company we had chosen through safaribooking.com ( safarisbyjon) and flew to Entenbbe with exitment . I must say that the week was even better than we had dreamed of……… it was just perfect!!!! We stayed at Murdgison Falls National Park and did the trekking to see Rhinos( amazing) we visted the Waterfall ….. spectaculous, and we met sooo many friendly people! All the locals, guides, rangers, staff atcthe lodges were super friendly , helpful, had good knowledge of their job and always a big smile ! We of course did the chimpanzee and gorilla trekking, and the fact that you walk through the jungle ( great nature) and suddenly see them face to face is a one liftime experiance! I can only highly
Read more recommend Uganda and the experiance of trekking by foot to anybody! It is such a special experiance! Nature in Uganda is great, as we went end of the rainy season ( it just rained one day and not heavy rain) tourism was low and so the trekkings were and safari we did were not at all overpacked with tourists……… and everywhere peolpe todl us how greatfull they were that we had chosen Uganda for our holidays…..that was so sweet……… we will definitly come back some day!!!! Thank you Uganda for an unforgettable holiday !!!!!!

A Lush Oasis with So Much to See

5 / 5 5 /5

My wife and I did a 5 day Uganda safari. Our guide, Francis, picked us up from our hotel in Entebbe and we drove several hours to start our trip at Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP).

Even though we visited during the rainy season, we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather during our trip. The drive to QENP was interesting because you drive through many small towns where you can see the local vendors selling produce on the side of the road. Our guide was happy to stop whenever we requested, so long as it was safe. The further you go, the landscape begins to change. It was beautiful.

QENP was absolutely stunning. We saw nearly all the animals we wanted to see and Francis went above and beyond to make sure we fully enjoyed our experience. We were even lucky enough to see the chimpanzees when we went chimpanzee tracking on our 2nd day.

On our way to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, we drove to the Ishasha sector, which was unique in its own way
Read more and we were able to observe a tree climbing lion resting in a tree.

Gorilla tracking in Bwindi was incredible. We were lucky, where it only took us 30 minutes to find the gorilla family we were looking for, but apparently it can sometimes take up to 3 hours to find the gorillas. It was such a unique experience. I will never forget it.

Our last night was at Lake Bunyonyi, which was beautiful and a perfect way to wind down to end our trip.

We were very impressed by all of the lodges we stayed at. Everything was clean and very nice (We opted for Mid-Luxury). All of the staff and locals we encountered were so friendly and spoke great English.

In my opinion, Uganda is a must visit in Africa. Our guide Francis was fantastic. His experience and knowledge made us feel safe the entire time and he also answered any question we had.

Uganda has so much to offer and we didn’t even get to see everything due to our safari only being 5 days.

Such an unforgettable trip. I highly recommend.

Uganda is a perfect place to see the wild beauty of Africa, but also a very hospitable people!

We’ve been coming for years to Uganda to work among people in rural, impoverished villages. But this was the first time we had the opportunity to explore some of the natural beauty of Uganda.

We’ve spent vacations in France, Hungary, Peru, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Alaska and more…..but this trip (a Safari) to Murchison Falls Park TOTALLY equalled or even surpassed what we’ve seen and experienced in these more famous places!

We experienced up close and personal viewings of rhinos, giraffes, elephants, leopards, a lion pair, hippos, water buffalo, crocodiles, baboons and a wonderful array of birds and lizards! Because we were there in the off season, we also had our Pamoja tour guide (Amos) all to ourselves and he was great!

And the crazy thing is…all this was available to us at a much less expensive cost (we are now living on a limited budget) than the more famous safari countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana or South Africa.

So—-if you’re considering a trip to this amazing continent, look at Uganda and any of their big national parks. We plan to visit more of these for sure!!! Bwindi and the mountain gorillas are next year!

I went to Uganda because I had never seen chimpanzees in the wild. Not only was this successful but the gorilla trek was also amazing.
