We enjoyed every minute in Uganda, amazingly green in December. Seeing gorillas in Bwindi was an unforgettable experience. Walking safari among girrafes in Lake Mburo NP and among rhinos in Ziwa was absolutely unique. Uganda is a gem. We had chosen Wild Uganda among the tour operators and it was an excellent choice.

I’m glad I chose Uganda for my first safari. It’s unique position at the cross road of East and Central Africa means you get a taste of both savanna and rainforest wildlife. Gorilla and Chimp tracking are truly bucket list experiences. But don’t ignore the savannah parks of Queen Elizabeth NP and Murchison Falls NP. Herds of elephants, hippos, topi, kob, giraffes, lions- it’s a smorgasbord of wildlife.

Often called “The Pearl of Africa,” Uganda has breathtaking landscapes that range from snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains to rolling savannahs, lush forests, crater lakes, and the mighty River Nile, the world’s longest river. Visitors can enjoy stunning scenery in national parks like Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, and Kidepo Valley, each offering unique ecosystems and unforgettable views.

We visited Uganda in December. Overall the weather was perfect, except for one day when it rained and was cold.We went on a 7-day safari. The tour operator had arranged everything to a high standard. The hotels were very good.We were very pleased with the visit.

Uganda particularly impressed us with its inhabitants and their wonderful friendliness. The gorilla trekking was unique, of course, but the other safari activities were also excellent. We highly recommend the community walks, which allowed us to meet some wonderful people. We were thrilled with our tour operator, African Finfoot Safaris, who put together a varied programme for us with great accommodation and an excellent tour guide.

Fantastic Wildlife Tour by Lulu Safari's but we wish we had more time!

5 / 5 5 /5

Ours was a private tour that we modified to 11 days without issue and got a great price from Lulu Safaris.

Picked up perfectly from the airport at the correct time, even though the flight was delayed, then a brilliantly arranged method of getting us to Mabamba Swamp for our Shoebill tour - we went by canoe whilst our bags and guide waited for the ferry. That saved us a lot of wasted time.

We saw lots of animals on the tour, but the drives were a lot longer than described meaning we didn't arrive to hotels until very late in the day, then leaving at dawn the following morning! With a different hotel almost every night, we should have had an extra five days to pace it more slowly.

I was hoping for many many birds but struggled due to not spending enough time in one place to search so I missed on some targets but the Chimps and Gorillas, Lions, Elephants, Rhinos etc made up for it.

I would recommend a data Esim at the very least,
Read more just in case. Our guide did arrange for a portable router so we had wifi in the jeep which was a great boost.

I would also recommend a LOT of small notes - USD or UGX - as there are a LOT of local guides, rangers, porters, hotel staff etc to tip as well as your main guide.

I booked a 12 day safari with Beautiful Safaris Uganda. My guide, Kelly, was excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly, always attentive to any needs and accommodated changes to the trip part way through.

The itinerary included gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking, Lake Bunyonyi, Murchison Falls, the national parks – all of which were amazing. To see all this you cover long distances so you also get a great overview of the country with changes in scenery, towns, agriculture and economic conditions. The lodges were clean & tidy and good food throughout the trip.

The tour company kept in touch prior to traveling to Uganda answering all my questions of what to expect.

Put this on your bucket list, WOW.

Just wow. We loved this entire country and their people, what lovely, helpful, humble people. We felt safe everywhere we went (walking everywhere) and enjoyed everything from their sit down restaurants to the local food, rolex. There were offers of rides on motorcycles from locals looking for work, hellos from beautiful children and wooden canoes to take across the Victoria lake, or you could catch the ferry boat and see the locals transporting anything from live chickens to anything they could grow. We took a small plane ride from Entebbe to the gorilla areas and it was also amazing and safe. Our stay in the park, dead center in the forest was just beautiful. The movie "Gorillas in the mist". came to mind every morning, an entire new beauty for us. The gorilla "hunt" (find) was long (6 hours) and as it had poured rain the night before, we sloshed in mud past our ankles towards the end of the hike. Walking through the brush also got difficult near the end of our find.
Read more But, wow-was it ever worth it. What an amazing experience coming within feet of these beautiful creatures. We watched two littles wrestling, and an annoyed mother scold them, as one took off and the other seemed to be in time out. When we returned, our hotel staff was waiting for us with refreshing juice and clean slippers as they removed our shoes, which we later found as clean as new in our room; they never even asked who we were or which room was ours. My advice...GO. Oh, and we are 67 and 70 years old. We were exhausted, but we kept up just fine.
