Our guide, Gerald, was well-informed, fun and made sure we had the most amazing trip possible.

5/5

Arkunda Gerald was our tour guide for over five days. He made sure everything went smoothly and answered all of our question about the sites and culture wherever we went. During the drives from one location to the next, Gerald would describe the areas through which we were driving, the people who lived in each area and the different resources each place contributed to the rest of the country. We learned so much about every place we went, which made the experience that much more meaningful. Gerald would also take the time to stop at scenic points so we could get incredible photos of the views. Gerald also made sure we were where we needed to be so we could get the most out of each excursion we went on during the five days. We greatly appreciate how well we were taken care of during our entire trip and would highly recommend this company to others. Thank you!

Responsive, dependable, careful

5/5

Our 7-Day Chimpanzee Trekking expedition was wonderful. From start to finish Moroka met all expectations. Abraham was our point of contact in schedule & payment & he was super attentive & informative.

Our guide & driver, Gerald Ankunda, was always prompt, courteous, informative, & made sure we were always prepared for each activity & for departures as we moved from site to site. He shared so much about Rwandan culture & wildlife. We really appreciated how safe a driver he was.

The drive through Rwanda is stunning!

Our mid-level accomodations were comfortable & the service in each was excellent.

We loved the activities! The activity guides were excellent.

Highly recommended!

Perfect safari, exceptional service.

5/5

Fellow travelers,
I recently returned from a 14 day birdwatching tour covering wide swaths of Uganda. Having been to several East African nations in the past, I was attracted to Uganda because birdwatching wise the country borders both the Eastern countries of Kenya and Tanzania as well as Central African nations such as the Congo and Rwanda. The result provides the opportunity to build an amazing list of special bird species.
I found Moroka Expeditions online and was immediately impressed by the glowing reviews from past clients.
I sent my proposed tour dates and goals to Moroka director Abraham Kyagulanyi and he quickly responded with a detailed itinerary covering a rather large portion of his nation. Abraham listened well to my request for modest accommodations and long birding days. I also let him know that I was still recovering from a rather gruesome leg injury and would be limited in my mobility. And in fact I was compelled to push back on my start date due to my prolonged recovery: all of which Abraham handled with grace and kindness.
With great good fortune Abraham assigned William Kyeswa to be my guide and driver.
A finer guide, driver, companion you will never meet!
Both gentlemen greeted me at Entebbe Airport upon arrival from Chicago by way of Addis Ababa and escorted me to my nearby accommodations on the shores of Lake Victoria.
A note about the lodges, hotels throughout my stay; all were completely reasonable cost wise and were uniformly immaculately clean, quiet and comfortable. So very well done gentlemen! Another thing I appreciated about my Ugandan lodging was all served simple and delicious fare. Ugandan meals are all prepared to order using local ingredients, simple, hearty and filling. The locally sourced coffee and teas were both welcome components of each meal.
While I won't be able to recant my complete itinerary in this space, we started with a bang on day one with gobsmacking views of one of the most spectacular birds in the world, the incomparable Shoebill Stork! Truly one of the most amazing birds you will ever see.
As we progressed I soon became aware of one of Williams' special gifts to birders like me. Though my man has seen the vast majority of his nation's bird species as well as knowing their particular songs and micro habitats, William leaves nothing to chance: he has cultivated a wide network of local guides and rangers, many of whom he has personally trained, who by virtue of living on site seem to know in which exact tree or shrub to find some of these very tricky species. And to me that's like a birding superpower! I reckon that if I were to walk those forest paths alone I would not have recorded half the impressive trip list I did with team William.
Of course I certainly didn't turn my nose up at the many incredible wildlife viewing experiences we had in some of the awesome National Parks like Murchison Falls NP, Queen Elizabeth NP, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest NP, and even the smallest, Lake Mburo NP.
With rather too much optimism I did pre-book Chimpanzee and Gorilla trekking given my infirmities and I was able to marvel at a mighty troop of Pan tryglotes at rather closer proximity than felt comfortable I unfortunately had to dip out on the Mountain gorilla trek. However with William's deep knowledge and the added resources of men who literally were born and raised in the park we were able to see some of the mountain's most coveted species of birds.
I can't finish this review without praising Abraham's incredible organizational skills. Not only was he able to move the whole tour two weeks while I recovered he was willing and able to switch things around when for example we were planning on one night at the amazing Eagle's Nest Lodge but I just fell in love with the place and asked if we could add a night while cutting the same at our next stop. And he was willing and able to accommodate my wishes. And believe me folks, that's a level of excellent service I have never seen in all my years of travel.
I will unconditionally recommend Moroka Expeditions to any birder, photographer, nature lover.
Lastly I am left with incredible appreciation of my impression that the people of Uganda are the most kind, gracious and charming of any I have ever met in my life. The joy is infectious! I always felt welcome and safe. No matter anyone's personal circumstances, Uganda is truly a joyous nation.
Go see for yourself and give William and Abraham my kindest regards.

I spent 5 days with Abraham and Moses from Moroka expeditions. They were very knowledgeable and we saw so much in a short period of time.
From Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Elephants, Hippos, Buffalo. We also had some great cultural experiences.
Would definitely recommend and will be back again!
