Unforgettable first time in Uganda !!!
**An Unforgettable Experience with Tubale Safaris**
Our family of four recently embarked on a journey with Tubale Safaris, and it was, without a doubt, one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. From start to finish, this trip exceeded every expectation, and we’ll forever cherish the memories of our incredible African adventure.
The wildlife encounters alone were worth the journey. Tubale Safaris gave us the rare opportunity to see the "Big Five" up close, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos. Every safari drive was filled with anticipation and awe as we witnessed these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The thrill of spotting a lion resting in the tall grass or a herd of elephants drinking from a watering hole was beyond words. But the surprises didn’t stop there. We were also fortunate enough to experience something truly special—seeing both chimpanzees and gorillas in the wild. Trekking through the lush forests to observe these incredible primates in their natural environment was an emotional highlight of our trip. Watching the chimpanzees play and communicate with each other, and later spending time with the gorillas in their serene mountain habitat, was a privilege we will never forget.
The accommodations arranged by Tubale Safaris were equally impressive. Every lodge we stayed at was a perfect blend of luxury and nature, offering us a tranquil retreat after our daily adventures. Each lodge was unique, providing stunning views of the surrounding landscapes, and was thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and relaxation while staying in harmony with nature. Whether we were enjoying a delicious meal under the stars or unwinding in our beautifully appointed rooms, we felt completely at ease and pampered throughout our stay.
One of the standout aspects of our trip was our exceptional guide and driver, Jamal. He was an absolute gem, not only knowledgeable about the wildlife but also deeply passionate about the environment. His attention to detail and care for our family made all the difference. He took the time to ensure that we had the best possible view of the animals and was always patient, engaging, and willing to share fascinating insights about the creatures we encountered. It was clear that he truly cared about providing us with a memorable and meaningful experience, making us feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared-for throughout the entire journey.
The staff at every lodge and the Tubale Safaris team were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating an atmosphere where we felt like part of the family. They anticipated our every need, from arranging a surprise special dinner under the stars to offering personalized recommendations for activities. Their dedication to ensuring our trip was perfect was evident in every aspect of our stay.
In every way, Tubale Safaris exceeded our expectations. The combination of incredible wildlife sightings—including the Big Five, chimpanzees, and gorillas—luxurious lodges, and attentive service made this a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. We’ve traveled extensively, but this safari stands out as one of the most meaningful and life-changing adventures we’ve ever had. We can’t recommend Tubale Safaris enough for anyone looking to experience the heart of Africa. It was an experience that has left an indelible mark on our hearts, and we can’t wait for the opportunity to return.

The team at Tubale Safari exceeded our expectations!
Our 18-day journey with Tubale Safari through Uganda was everything we hoped for and more. We were immersed in the beauty and diversity of Uganda’s landscapes, wildlife, and culture with numerous game drives and activities that provided a fresh perspective at each location. Traveling in the low season was a huge plus; we enjoyed having many stunning places nearly to ourselves.
The experience was not only unforgettable but also fantastic value for money. After meeting other travelers with similar itineraries who paid significantly more with different companies, we realized how fortunate we were! Tubale Safari offered better accommodations and an outstanding guide!
Our favorite moments included the enchanting encounter with the golden monkeys and a peaceful walking tour near Lake Mburo, which allowed us to connect with Uganda’s nature up close. While there were long drives to Kidepo National Park and the Batwa/Pygmy community visit felt a bit unnatural (not Tubale's fault), these were minor points in an otherwise extraordinary trip.
The team at Tubale Safari exceeded our expectations, and we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking an authentic, well-organized Ugandan adventure!

Experienced, knowledgeable, passionate and heartfelt.
Uganda was magical, beautiful, exotic and was teaming with wildlife. I never thought that at the age of 70, that I would feel like a child, a teen, a young adult and a old man during different phases of my trip. Every stop was a new new adventure, every trek was filled nervous excitement and the safari was heaven on earth. The reason that it took so long to write this review is because my friends, aquaintances and family are still calling, plus dropping by to see the pictures and hear my stories.
My guide/driver Jamal was Phenomenal, he spoke 17 of the 50 dialects that are spoken in Uganda. His experience provided me unimaginable photos and memories of a lifetime. Jamal's knowledge of the landscape of the landscape, through the safari trails, villages,and mountain terrain, made the trip seemless. Jamal made sure the accommodations, whether it was in a lodge, or glamping, was always with me in mind. By the time my trip was over, I was taking pictures of signs of land for sale. thank you for everything that a person could ever dream of, or ever experience.

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!

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.
