Excellent organization!
We booked a 5 days game drive safari in Queen Elizabeth NP combined with gorilla trekking in Bwindi. Our guide and driver, Arthur, gave us the best time! The lodges were amazing and all transportation was well organized. The highlight of the trip was without a doubt standing face to face with the gorillas. A once in a lifetime experience! We definitely recommend travelling with Tubale Safaris!

Trip of a lifetime -17 day Uganda Safari.
Tubale Safaris exceeded our expectations, from our initial enquiry, the booking process, and accomodating our request to extend the trip by 3 days.
We booked mid range accommodation and was pleasantly surprised as to the quality of the accommodation and the excellent food provided by each lodge.
The game drives were amazing, thank you Jamal our driver/guide who was very patient and readily stopped so we could take photos. We saw leopards, lions, elephants, buffalo, monkeys, antelopes we walked with the rhino at the sanctuary and walked amongst the zebra and giraffes. Jamal was very good at spotting the wildlife, even when they were hidden up a tree.
The trek to see the chimpanzees was an amazing experience.
The highlight was our tour was the trek to see the family of Mountain Gorillas spending one hour with this family of Gorillas was amazing.
We had an unforgettable 17 days and would definitely recommend Tubale Safaris.
We are already planning our return trip.
Thank you Annette and Jamal

*** Professional Local Tour Operator!***
My Partner and I enjoyed a 7 day tour with Tubale which included Ziwa, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, Kibale and Bwindi. Annette's communication and organisation was first class and we were impressed with the quality of the "Mid-Range" accomodation provided.
Our guide Arthur was extremely knowledgeable in relation to wildlife, culture and history. His network and ability to track animals made this an unforgettable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with him and learned much about the beautiful land of Uganda and East Africa in general.
We had high expectations for our trip and safe to say they were exceeded!
Tubale is a professional and locally owned and tour operator, I can whole heartedly reccomend booking a tour with them.
Thank you Annette and Arthur!
Regards,
Al

Amazing, once in a lifetime 10-Days Uganda Wildlife and Primates Safari
Safari Tour for 10-Days Uganda Wildlife and
Primates Safari with Lake Tour
I contact about 30 different companies before I found Tubale. I went with them due to their itinerary being the same to other companies but for a much more affordable price. I am so happy I found them!! Annette was my online co tact person and she was very quick to respond and helpful with all of my pre planning questions.
My trip (solo trip) with Tubale and guide Samuel (Sam) was flawless/perfect from start to finish. Sam was an exceptional guide who truly made this an unforgettable experience. His expertise in each national park, the roads/ driving , sharing so much knowledge about the safari animals, country and culture were of true value. Request him as your guide, you will not regret it.
We visited multiple national parks seen countless wildlife. My chimpanzee trek and gorilla trek were amazing! 10/10 I would recommend them both. They are a must while visiting Uganda. Participating in village/community walks was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend participating, additional that money goes directly to the locals.
All of the hotels/lodges that were apart of the tour were great. We also stood 1 night at a women’s hotel called Ride 4 woman which helps provide woman of the community a job and teaches them life skills. The 4x4 truck transport was comfortable and great for safari exploring.

The most complete and exciting tour of Uganda
My wife and I chose Uganda for our honeymoon and Tubale Safaris was able to organize a 9-day trip beyond our expectations.
Annette was very responsive and available from the beginning to organize the various stages.
Isaac, our guide, accompanied us around Uganda always with a smile ... a very knowledgeable and friendly guy. He suggested some small variations to the original tour and we did not regret it ... we will definitely recommend friends and family to travel with him in the future.
Thanks Isaac and thanks to Tubale Safaris!

Tubale Safaris organized a 1st class experience in Uganda: great itinerary, accomodations, & guide!
6-Days Gorilla Trekking and White Water Rafting Safari Tour
In June of 2023 I contacted Tubale Safaris regarding information about a tour that was offered for visiting the mountain gorillas and rafting on the White Nile River. My contact, Annette, was most helpful and patient, considering I was booking a tour a year in advance. Arrangements were confirmed even though I could not even book airfares yet! In May 2024 as my husband and I sat at the airport in Johannesburg awaiting our flight to Uganda, I discovered the flight had been cancelled. After making flight changes, I tried to contact Annette to adjust tour changes for Uganda. She was able to do this and all worked out great!
Our guide, Brian, met us at the airport in Entebbe and we began our tour. Annette had arranged wonderful accomodations throughout our stay in Uganda. After arriving, we drove past Kampala to Jinja and had an evening boat cruise on Lake Victoria, to include the headwaters of the Nile River. This was a peaceful float along the shoreline to enjoy the scenery and do a little birding. The next day we rafted on the White Nile River…our trip was advertised as an adventure experience and that it was: wet, wild, and white water! Don’t miss this experience. Annette met us at the raft office in the morning to wish us a safe journey and then we were off for an adventure filled day. At the end of the rafting trip our group, together with all of the rafting guides, were treated with drinks and BBQ to celebrate our fun day. If you ever have opportunity, take a trip with White Nile River Rafting. It was a grand experience!
The next day we were off to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to have our gorilla experience. It is a full day’s drive but the scenery along the way is beautiful. The accommodation in the park is first class. The following day was our walk to see the gorillas. After the short orientation, we only had a 45 minute walk before the trackers had us sitting with these magnificent animals. We spent an hour with them. The young gorillas were very playful, tumbling all over. Spending time with these creatures is a special life experience!
While it was a quick visit to Uganda, I would encourage all to visit the “Pearl of Africa”. The countryside is lush; the various cultures and traditions were most interesting; and the people were very friendly. I also must say that our guide, Brian, was a jewel. He was so well informed about his country and its history, as well as the various ethnic groups and their respective cultures. He also spoke 5 languages! Brian had done research with the gorillas as part of his guide licensing program so he was able to provide detailed information about the gorillas He shared so much with us and was an integral part of our enjoyment of Uganda!

Safari of a lifetime
A week ago, my family and I went on 4-day Safari to Kidepo Valley National Park with Tubale Safaris. We really had a great time as everything was so well organized, the accommodation we slept at Adere Lodge was beautiful and clean. We plan to visit again for a longer safari in December and we will surely be using Tubale Safaris again. Highly recommend!

Amazing safari and gorilla trekking experience
Thanks for an amazing 14-day Uganda safari and gorilla trekking trip. Everything has been meticulously organized by Mrs Annette, she was very quickly to respond and to adjust the itinerary as requested.
My driver, Arafat, was also amazing and knowledgeable, if you have a chance, ask for him to be your guide. I definitely recommend Tubale and will use their services again when I come to Uganda/East Africa.

Entire trip above expectations it was amazing in every way.
I have traveled to so
many countries and do not normally do tours (only a few in my life). This was an exception and I have to say it was amazing at every turn and experience! Prior to our trip Annette answered everything promptly and so efficient in every way! Our guide Ronnie went above and beyond daily and we so enjoyed all his knowledge and allowing our experience to be over the top! Our lodging was above expectations and staff quickly became new friends. Trekking with Rhinos - then Chimps and then gorillas! Great price - so reliable in every way!
