Amazing Experience, I recommend it to everyone
5/5

Everything was perfectly organized, from the choices of accommodation where we stayed to the safari van we used; we had support at all times.

In particular, I want to thank the Wildlife and Safaris Coordinator, Conservationist Vincent, a generous, sensitive, and very attentive man for arranging our safari in such a short time. Thank you for making such a difference in our trip.

We shall definitely recommend you and Ecovic Tours to everyone who would love to visit Uganda, the pearl of Africa.

A great safari to see the Mountain Gorillas
5/5

We booked a 12-day, 11-night Uganda Wildlife and Wildlife Safari with Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda, and it exceeded our expectations! The highlight was, of course, encountering the gorillas in Bwindi, but every part of the journey was memorable. We loved seeing the adorable golden monkeys and were captivated by the stunning beauty of Lake Bunyonyi.

Our guide, Richard, was exceptional. He was always punctual, kept us informed about the daily schedule, and had an impressive knowledge of everything we asked. Plus, he is incredibly friendly and hilarious. The van we traveled in was clean and comfortable, and the itinerary was well-balanced, with varied activities and accommodations that never felt overwhelming.

Overall, this was an unforgettable experience for my first time in Africa, and we highly recommend Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda. Thank you so much!

Exciting, Satisfying and Worth Taking it
5/5

My husband and i took a 07-days safari including Gorilla trekking with Ecovic Tours.

The tour exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were lovely.

Matin our guide was very helpful, informative and funny. He was very animated and always makes sure that the long drives were lively.

The gorilla trek was exhilarating (even with the challenging hike up, haha). Seeing the gorillas up close is really a once in a lifetime experience.

We shall definitely recommend Ecovic Tours to all our relatives and friends!

Everything expertly and perfectly organized and Executed by Ecovic Tours
5/5

We had an incredible 3 weeks experience! Everything was organized tip-top, and gave an extra dimension to the saying "this is the pearl of Africa".

First, Vincent designed a trip based on our wishes, showing great ingenuity in organizing permits and accommodations.

Next, our guide Richard not only executed it expertly and perfectly, but he also showed great initiative and flexibility when for instance weather conditions changed and thus chances of detecting animals. In addition, Richard had a vast knowledge of animal and bird behavior, and an incredible eye-sight for spotting.

We have seen the big 5, as well as hyenas, warthogs, vultures, marabous stork, gorillas, chimps, zebras, snakes, giraffes, and so much more. Richard also taught us whole-heartedly about Uganda, its people, languages and its peculiarities.

Also our 16-years old son was a fan of guide Richard.

We are definitely going to recommend Uganda, Vincent and guide Richard and Ecovic Tours to all our friends.

A perfect Holiday in Uganda, the pearl of Africa indeed!
5/5

Our first trip to the continent spanned about 14 days and we would say it was one of the best trips we have ever been on.

Ecovic Tours provided a wonderful guide, Sam, who is very knowledgeable and skilled with past experience working in the National Parks as well. He knew how to locate animals and spent time to educate us on the behaviors and adaptations of the various wildlife spotted during the trip. He was also always very helpful and took very good care of us. It was a joy to have been able to travel with him while we were in Uganda. Sam' capabilities and service alone warrants this experience the "Excellent" rating it has received from us.

The accommodations/tents were all comfortable and enjoyable with nice food and sceneries. The vehicle was spacious and comfortable. Overall, we felt very safe with the travel arrangements.

Uganda is a beautiful country. I cannot wait to visit it again someday with Ecovic Tours.

Amazing Safari that Exceeded my Expectations
5/5

Going on a Safari was the only thing on my bucket list. Found Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda online and contacted them because of their excellent ratings and prompt answers.

Vincent did a great job in making suggestions and formulating our itinerary. He helped with the actual details of our trip in Uganda. Prompt answers to our many questions. Initiated communication a number of times.

Actually safari was unbelievable. From guides, to camps , to locations, to accommodations and food were all 5 star. Each of the 3 camps we stayed at were very different in terms of environments and terrain. Gave us a broad experience of Uganda and her animals , vegetation, water and terrain.

And Murchison Falls, at the beginning, took our breath away. But a great 9 days and would not hesitate to use Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda again. Highly recommended

Absolutely reliable, competent and always looking for the best experience for his guests
5/5

The whole trip was amazing and our guide Justine was top notch. He took us around the park spotting endless antelopes, giraffes and elephants. We saw a leopard and a lion and many hippos. The birds that we saw were beautiful as well. We saw three crested cranes. The highlight of the trip was the hike to Murchison Falls. We saw a rainbow burst out of the water as the sun rose. The whole trip was just amazing. We absolutely loved Justine. He shared his knowledge of the various animals and history of the area. I highly recommend using this tour company.

Best 7 Day experience in Uganda
5/5

We booked a 7 day, Gorilla Trekking, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park, plus more. with Ecovic and it completely exceeded our expectations. From the minute we started planning this trip, Vincent was incredible with prompt communication and ensuring we were going to accomplish everything we wanted during our 7 days. The prices were very fair and what we received exceeded our expectations. Our driver Hussein was incredible, he was so knowledgable and was not going to give up until we found a lion during our game drives.

The accommodations we stayed in were exceptional, especially for budget accommodation. Staying on Lake Bunyonyi was exceptional and our favourite night. Swimming at sundown and staying in the cabin on the island was stunning and I will for sure be returning. The Bush Lodge in Queen Elizabeth was also stunning and eating outside with the hippos at night was a once in a lifetime experience. All the food was delicious and the staff at all accommodations were so kind and helpful. All of the game drives and boat cruises were amazing, with Hussein guiding us through the National Parks and explaining each animal, bird, plant etc. We saw all the major animals and we have not a single complaint.

Overall Ecovic Tours and the staff was amazing. I would recommend their services to anyone visiting Uganda with no doubt. It was the best week we have ever had and it went so smoothly. If you are looking for the ultimate experience in Uganda you can't go wrong with Ecovic!
We will be returning!
