Honest insights from past guests on our Uganda tours

Anonymous | Traveled in July

Fabulous trip, with exciting wildlife encounters, exceptional hospitality and profound cultural experiences. The highlight was definitely the awe-inspiring and emotional encounter with the mountain gorillas. Beyond the gorillas, walking with giraffe and zebras, trekking to see the cutest golden monkeys and the abundance of other wildlife; warthogs, hippos, hyena, impala, crocodiles, waterbucks, mongoose, so many birds, monkeys and countless baboons were all amazing. Great itinerary, ensuring we made the most of every moment with some very early starts and long drives. All the accommodation was comfortable and inviting, and the hospitality we received was exceptional, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. Our knowledgeable tour leaders were skilled drivers, great at spotting wildlife along the roads, enriching our experience with their local insights. Visiting local communities and learning about the efforts being made to empower women was inspiring. One of the most interesting parts of the trip was visiting the Batwa village. Highly recommended!

An excellent and varied intinerary with comfortable accommodation in spectacular locations and knowledgeable tour leaders. The highlight was observing the gorillas - we were lucky enough to encounter a family of six, including a baby, after a relatively short trek of an hour - but the trip also included a fascinating visit to the indigenous Batwa people and provided many opportunities to support local communities and women's empowerment projects. Highly recommended.

Uganda is definitely the Pearl of Africa

By far the most emotional wildlife experience ever and a true bucket list adventure. The abundant wildlife took my breath away. From being entertained by the Chimpanzees in Kibale Forest to Gorilla trekking, even spotted 2 leopards on our night safari and a python swallowing an impala on our safari walk optional excursion. There are a few long drives but see it as free "African massage". This tour is also highly recommended for bird watchers and had to chance to see African Grey's, Shoebills, Turacos, Malachite's and Kingfishers. The Lodges on this trip will maximise your animal-watching experience and all the rooms are spacious. Haven Lodge staff even treats you with warm water bottles in your bed at turndown service. The food was delicious with a huge variety to choose from. Overall, the best experience ever.

Excellent tour where close encounters with a variety of animals, most notably Mountain Gorillas, are virtually guaranteed (with all the planning involved, you'd be extremely unlucky not to see Gorillas in Bwindi). On the tour you also find out about the efforts made in conserving these rare animals and how that sometimes impacts on the human residents in the area both positively and negatively. The formation of several community groups, particularly focused on providing education and sustainable employment, particularly for women, is also shown

I loved it! Africa really captured my heart and I am so happy to have experienced so much of it. The rafting, the gorillas, the safaris, Zanzibar. It was such a blast! Had a great time! I would for sure recommend G adventures and I am booking another trip in the future as well!

Excellent

An amazing camping and wildlife experience! Getting from place to place could be draining at times, but being on the campsites, and experiencing the animals in the wilderness, especially gorillas, was absolutely outstanding.

Uganda Tours — Highlights and Travel Tips

Uganda was given the title of 'Pearl of Africa' by Winston Churchill for the simple reason that it presents some of the most unique sights in the African continent, despite its relatively small size. A nature lover’s paradise, Uganda is particularly famous as home to Lake Victoria, the largest tropical lake on the planet. The African Great Lakes also ensure the presence of all kinds of landscapes and wildlife and Mount Elgon affording those on a trip to Uganda views to die for. 

The country has managed to emerge from the dark and transformed into one of the most beautiful countries of Africa. It still gets a rap for its anti-gay sentiments, but the country is still among the safest travel destinations in the continent. 

 

Tour Highlights

  • Look for gorillas in Bwindi National Park
  • Straddle the equator in Kayabwe
  • Go white water rafting on the White Nile
  • Experience the breathtaking rapids of Bujagali Falls
  • Go chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park
  • Canoe from island to island across Lake Bunyonyi

Travel Tips

  • Be prepared to pay for your entry tourist visa to Uganda, which costs about USD 50. The visa can be paid upon entering the country, or online before you travel.
  • The term “mzungu” means ‘white person’, and any white-skinned visitors to Uganda should expect to hear this called out to them regularly as they roam the streets. This is not necessarily a sign of disrespect, and should be embraced!
  • Uganda is a fairly conservative country. Avoid touching members of the opposite sex in public, and women should dress modestly when holidaying in Uganda. This is especially true in busy cities.
  • Be sure to ask your doctor for malaria tablets before travelling to Uganda to avoid being exposed to the mosquito-borne disease.
  • The use of credit cards is limited in Uganda. If you’re lucky enough to find a shop that allows card payment, expect to pay a fee of around 5%. Be sure to always carry some cash, US dollars being the currency of choice.
