The whole trip was incredible, there was always something new and different each day. Overall the trip was fantastic, our host company was amazing at planning and organising the trip for us. Our guides were brilliant, friendly and helpful. We were mainly hoping to see animals including the Big 5 and the Gorillas and were incredibly lucky to see these and more. Highly recommended!read more

Peter Cyffka3 Aug 2024
Very good! 4 vs 5 stars is due to the large proportion of daylight spent driving, but that’s just inherent in choosing to do this itinerary in a short amount of time, which was really on us. Other than that it was a 5. Uganda was great, very scenic and welcoming people, wish we had been able to spend more time there. read more
