Above and Beyond Service
We did a 10-day tour with Lulu Safaris covering Masai Mara (Kenya), Serengeti (Tanzania), Rwanda, and Gorilla Trek (Uganda). The entire trip went extremely well and smoothly. All meals, transport, and park fees were included, along with knowledgeable guides, so we had literally nothing to worry about! Here are detailed reviews for each destination:
Masai Mara, Kenya
The safari in Masai Mara was probably the highlight of our tour. We saw all the animals and everything there was to see in just one day! We had Tony as our guide, and he was beyond amazing. He was fun, knowledgeable, and very thorough. You can tell that he is passionate about his job and will go above and beyond in everything he does. Thanks, Tony, for making this trip fantastic! The Jeep was also well-maintained and clean.
Serengeti, Tanzania
We drove to Serengeti, which took about 9 hours from Masai Mara due to the border being far away. Nevertheless, the safari there was also fantastic. We saw all the Big 5 in Tanzania. However, keep in mind that the Serengeti is much bigger than Masai Mara, so there is slightly more driving involved. We had Roger as our driver. He was very sweet and caring, always keeping the car clean with drinks topped up and making an effort to engage with us during dinner and breakfast. The accommodation we had in Serengeti was beyond our expectations. It was a luxury tent in the middle of the park! Thanks, Elvis, for organizing a great stay.
Rwanda/Uganda
We flew into Rwanda and then drove to Uganda for the Gorilla Trek. The trip was well thought out, and we had some form of activity each day until the trek. The Gorilla Trek was amazing, but it does require a good level of fitness to complete! We were lucky to have met Smith on our last day. Smith went above and beyond with his service in just six hours. He stopped at many places along the way and took great care of us until we got to the airport! Guides like Smith and Tony honestly make trips so wholesome and fun! Highly recommend both of them!
Lastly, we want to thank Elvis for his patience. Initially, we were a bit doubtful about the trip due to a lack of communication. Elvis would always take action on our requests, but we didn’t get confirmation at first. After expressing our concerns, we reached out to Elvis through WhatsApp, and he was super responsive. He answered every question and ensured we felt safe throughout the trip. We had issues with paying Elvis, and even then, he never bothered us. Instead, he insisted we enjoy the trip first. I’ve never met a service provider as trusting as Elvis! Thank you, Elvis, for making our trip wonderful!

Organised operator, excellent guides
I chose Lulu after shopping around a bit and finding that they were well priced and, importantly, incredibly responsive. I chatted to Elvis on WhatsApp and he very quickly prepared detailed itinerary documentation based on my needs, including a few iterations.
From an excellent start, the tour itself only gets better. I meet my two guides, Simon and Simon Peter in Kasese. They have just such a great energy. I honestly cannot recommend them enough. The vehicle is clean and comfortable.
Over the next 6 days we have such great adventures. Each of the activities was so much fun. The chimp and gorilla trekking delivered in spades. All the time my guides are keeping me informed on the natural and cultural phenomena of Uganda. When we share meals (I was travelling solo, so very happy for the company!) we laugh and joke and just have such a great time.
At every point Simon and Simon Peter make sure I’m comfortable, have what I need, and am well informed about the plan for each day. They are both professional and personable - and I’m happy to call them good friends after our time spent together.
Overall, I would happily book again with Lulu. They were fantastic :)

Great Service
Today we finished an amazing adventure with Smith, our fabulous guide. He picked us up in Kigal. The main items on our itinerary were Volcanoes National Park for Golden Monkey trekking, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for Gorilla trekking and Lake Bunyonyi. We also visited Gorilla Guardians Village for the cultural experience to learn a little about history and customs of Rwanda. Everything was wonderful! Smith is an excellent guide, very upbeat and informative. He is also an excellent driver. We covered a lot of miles over the five days and I didn’t feel nervous once, even on high winding roads. Smith took us to a local market, also to meet his family and friends in Kabale. It was very special!
I organized this trip from Canada through Elvis using email and WhatsApp. Everything was perfect. The three lodges where we stayed were beautiful. Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Highly recommend Lulu Safaris and Smith!

Professional and easy to deal with
We had a great experience from start to finish with Lulu safari. Elvis was so helpful in the organising of the trip and answered all questions we had. We were grateful of being assigned Derrick as our guide. He really took care of us the whole trip and made the experience as seamless as possible, especially in those stressful places like crossing the borders.
It was a real drama losing our luggage at the airport and we lost time from our trip having to retrieve it, but Derrick was so patient and got us back to the airport and then safely to our next stop in Uganda before dark.
All the accommodations we stayed at were beautiful and the staff at all of them were amazing. We just hope that they will be busier at other times of the year as they deserve to be.
We left Rwanda/Uganda with great memories and it was truly an experience of a lifetime seeing the gorillas. We only wished we had more time, but all the more reason to return.

Amazing Trip to see the Gorilla !
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 6-day, 5-night tour to Uganda, guided by Audence. The experience was nothing short of incredible, and I am thrilled to share my positive review of the service provided.
Audence was an exceptional guide, showcasing his deep knowledge and passion for Uganda's wildlife and culture. His attention to detail and commitment to ensuring a memorable experience made the entire trip seamless and enjoyable.
The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the gorilla trekking. Witnessing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat was awe-inspiring and a truly unforgettable experience. Audence's expertise made the trek informative and engaging, adding to the overall wonder of the adventure.
I wholeheartedly recommend Audence and this tour company to anyone considering a visit to Uganda. Their dedication to providing an outstanding experience is evident, and I am confident that future travelers will be as impressed as I was. This tour is a must for anyone looking to explore the beauty and wonder of Uganda.
Thank you, Audence, for an amazing journey. I hope this review encourages more people to choose your company and discover the magic of Uganda.

Just amazing
We just came back from a 14 day tour in Rwanda and Uganda. Our family of 5 had an amazing experience organized by Elvis. He managed our requests very well and we got the best out of our trip. We had the best guides with first Samuel (in Rwanda) and second Samuel in Uganda. We loved all of it and had on of the best trips ever. A special shout out to Samuel who did everything to make Uganda the most special Safari with seeing Gorillas, Chimpanzees and so much other wildlife. Thanks Lulu, we will be back!
Discovering the Pearl of Africa from the jewel’s hands!
Our tour with Lulu has been great. We’ve been a total of 12 days with them, both in Uganda and Rwanda.
We started our trip from Entebbe-Jinja, and then Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elisabeth, Ishasha, Bwindi and Kigali.
We had the pleasure to have Derrick as our guide. He’s a lovely person, very knowledgeable and attentive to details. He always had the right answer for any curiosity we had, he also constantly commented whatever we could see on the way and also asked about our needs to make a stop constantly. He really gave a very personal touch during our trip, and made it extremely special. He also taught us some hints of the local language!
All lodges were carefully selected together, and the experience was overall very good. There were minor issues in some of them like no hot water or good conexion, but it is what it is, they were in very remote locations. Need to highligh that Elvis, the owner, was 24/7 available on whatsapp for any concern we might have on our way.
We’ve been lucky to discover Uganda from Lulu’s & specially Derrick’s hands. We can truly say now it is the Pearl of Africa, it offers many diff activities: safari, gorilla & chimps trecks, city tours, rafting, communities visit…
We can state we came back with our hearts fulfilled and all desires accomplished.
Thank you so much Derrick & Elvis, hope to travel with you guys again!
