Wonderful itinerary and experiences
Found Hooves of Africa via safaribookings.com and immediately had a fast response from Dickson - he always responded very promptly to any questions we had.
Our guide for the 3 day gorillas adventure was Stuart - he did a great job of listening to our requests and tailoring the tour for us.
The accommodation and transport was all great and so of course was the highlight - the trek into Bwindi to see the gorillas.
Highly recommend Hooves of Africa to offer a customised itinerary at a very reasonable price in a very small group (just the two of us).

Nature, animals, culture, extraordinary encounters and endless emotions
Nature, animals, culture, extraordinary encounters and endless emotions:
do not hesitate, choose Hooves of Africa! If you want to immerse yourself in nature, experience great emotions and fill your heart with indelible memories, Hooves of Africa will satisfy all your expectations. Dickson is the owner, since the planning of our Safari between Uganda and Rwanda he supported us and advised us in the best way. Serious, reliable, always available and timely in his responses, extremely flexible and courteous, thanks to him we defined our travel itinerary with the utmost ease. When we arrived in Entebbe we were welcomed with a big smile by Dickson and our guide Nolmam, who we can define in all respects as the best travel companion we could have had. He won us over, he became a friend! Professional, very prepared, friendly, sensitive and attentive, his information and his stories made the knowledge of these wonderful places even more interesting and profound.
He was also able to lighten and make special the transfers we faced, there were no shortage of stops and small snacks to refresh ourselves and immerse ourselves in the local reality. Our stops were the Queen Elizabeth NP, the cruise on the Kazinga channel and some trekking; with the chimpanzees (Kibale NP), with the gorillas (Bwindi, Ruija), with the Golden Monkyes and to the tomb of Dian Fossey (Virunga NP). The last stops were the visit to the Dian Fossey Center and the Kigali Genocide Memorial. Every single occasion gave us emotions and memories impossible to describe, they must be experienced. We stayed in different lodges during the journey, all excellent facilities, welcoming, immersed in nature, complete with all the services and comforts, we were spoiled and we enjoyed excellent food. Hooves of Africa was able to exceed our expectations and Nolman made all of this happen: we will never forget the happy days spent together. We leave with hearts full of joy and with the desire to return ...
We hope that this review of ours can make the difference in choosing the tour operator for your next trip: trust Hooves of Africa, we would like their commitment and professionalism to be rewarded. Write to us for any further information, we will be happy to provide you with all the details.

Excellent time on a 9-day-Rwanda-Uganda-Safari with Hooves of Africa
We (my wife and I) did a 9-day Safari in Rwanda and Uganda and we had an unforgettable time and would absolutly suggest Hooves of Africa - they did a great job!
We adapted a standard tour and started in Kigali and visited the golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park (NP). We then saw the gorillas in Bwindi NP and had a stop at beautiful Lake Bunyonyi before heading to Queen Elisabeth NP to do a Safari. Afterwards we saw chimps in Kibale Forest and ended the trip in Entebbe. We are very satisfied and spent an awesome time, thanks to the organisation of Hoves!
-Dickson was responsible for the administrative staff: He always answered very quickly and was very flexible in adapting our programm. Even tough we just booked rather before the start of the trip, he managed to get permits for golden monkey, gorillas and chimps. He also welcomed us in Kigali and gave us the first instructions about the trip
-Elton was the guide of our tour: He was responsible to guide us from Kigali to Entebbe and everything in between. He is an excellent guide and was explaining us nature and animals, background of the countries and much more in a profound and entertaining way. We enjoyed every second with him and definitely found not just a very good guide but also a friend.
Due to the perfect team work we had the pleasure to enjoy great nature, impressive animals (gorillas, chimps, golden monkeys, lions, elephants, buffalos, hippos, wilderbeests, whombats, antilopes,...), nice hotels (we especially liked Embogo lodge, Turaco Tree tops Lodge and Arcadia Lodges Lake Bunyonyi), superb food and realised what great places Rwanda and Uganda can offer and would definetely recommend to do it with Hooves and if possible Elton as a guide!
Thank you very much!
