Bloody brilliant.
Had a great time working with Nick to sort out an experience with Uganda. Best 10 days in memory. Ranged from basic down and dirty to high star lodge accommodation. Perfect eye opener to Uganda, myself and friends.
Thanks Nick - will be back soon.

The journey was super organized: the truck had everything we needed and Nick was flexible for reques
We had a great time. The truck was super confortable and had everything we needed. Nick was also flexible for our requests. We felt always safe.
Creates the we experience of a lifetime
Nick Brant fully involved us from the outset in putting together our target locations to visit and through the trip checking what we wanted to do next. He always gave us recommendations and options based on his experience and was flexible for example about whether we camped or stayed in lodges.
Amazing highlights included: being woken to the sound of hippos around us; wild camping guarded by a ranger with a fire through the night; walking by chimps in the rainforest of Kibale and watching a female chimp groom her young; the overwhelming power of Murchison Falls; seeing elephants drink and crocodiles bask in the Kazinga Channel. We also saw, at close quarters, a leopard, lions, rhino, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, a huge range of birds and a massive snake glide right up to our 4x4!

Nick was an excellent guide, with lots of local knowledge. He is a great people person!
I had an excellent 5 day experience with Nick which worked out incredibly well from the first moment on. I trusted Nick to take the lead and had previously only mentioned my interest in visiting the gorillas. Through discussing with Nick I learnt of how incredible the pearl of Africa really is and realised that I needed to do at least a five day trip to make the most of my time in Uganda.
I felt safe with Nick as soon as I entered the car and he took great control of the journey. The camping was more luxurious than I imagined and I even had a shower which comes out of the back of the van!
I am sure I brought the luck of the Irish on the trip as I had close encounters with lots of animals including the tree climbing lion and shoe bill bird. The highlight of my trip was the visit to Kasenyi fishing village where during our camping we came in contact with a school of 14 hippos and a family of 6 elephants around our campsite! I would definitely recommend Nick as a guide and I hope to do another tour with him soon!
Life Changing Tour
Hard to adequately describe the epic tour, that fully captures the excitement and exhilaration, that was run by Meanda Uganda. Nick, our tour guide, could not have provided a more interesting, challenging, rewarding, educational and, literally, life changing experience.
Without providing a full map of Uganda we basically covered the full list of National Parks and links between. Nick was as hands on or light touch as we needed, skilfully assessing our experience and confidence (which grew daily) without ever over stretching us. We managed to see close up the 'Big Five', which I am certain was down to Nick's local knowledge and extensive research, and no doubt we would have completely missed on our own.
From the start we felt part of a new family group, with all home comforts provided as part of the package. Early breakfasts watching the sun rise, travelling to each checkpoint with full commentary of the local areas, parks, history, wildlife, evening meals around a campfire under the stars is an experience never forgotten.
I can’t recommend Meanda Uganda more highly if you want the full ‘once in a lifetime’ experience.
