Excellent 10d tour in Uganda
My wife and I did a 10d tour through Uganda. The itinerary was well planned and Elvis, our contact at Lulu Safaris before the tour, kindly included our additional requests, i.e. the inclusion of a boat tour in Mabamba and a night at Lake Mburo NP.
Elvis has also offered us lots of optional activities in addition to the regular ones. Generally, we enjoyed the diversity of all activities which includes game drives (also night game drives), boat tours and trekking. However, we were not informed about all optional activities, unfortunately. Particularly, in Kibale and Bwindi it is possible to do habituation tours which allow you to spend even more time with the primates, which we would have loved to do but we only found out about that later. The experience that we had with the mountain gorillas in Bwindi was magical nonetheless.
Our guide Charles has been a great companion through the entire journey. He is very knowledgeable about the various flora and fauna in each region that we visited. Furthermore, he excelled in spotting wildlife!
Overall we had a great time in Uganda and we recommend Lulu Safaris.

Lulu Safari was the best choice for me, a solo traveler
Elvis, from Lulu Safaris was very quick to respond to my many emails. He worked quickly, I booked at the absolute last minute, and was able to accommodate some itinerary changes.
Lorand was the best guide/driver you can ask for. He is very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, often before i got to ask them, and is able to name many bird/insect species and provide you with a little fun fact about them. He loves his job, and he is excellent at it. He checked-in with me regularly, ensuring I was having the best time. Enthusiasm is key, and Lorand was excited for me to get to see all that I did. He made sure the lodges/restaurants knew about my dietary restrictions, he made sure to stop so I could take photos. He was able to call ahead and make arrangements when there were problems with the itinerary (only a few, and they were minor). He made sure I felt safe 100% of the time. I could not have asked for a better driver/guide for my « once in a lifetime » safari as a solo female traveler.

Lulu safari was professional, knowledgeable and fun!
I had a 10day Rwanda and Uganda safari and Derrick was my tour guide. He was awesome and I learned so much from him and had fun. He made sure everything was to my liking! I always felt safe and could relax and enjoy myself. Hopefully, I will come back with my daughter and he can be our guide!!

Fantastic experience
Smith was such a great guide; professional, knowledgeable and accommodating.
We booked a customized 2-day trip, with one day gorilla trekking (2 nights at a lodge). Initially we didn’t have much planned for the drive there and back, but Smith organized activities on the way such as the Batwa village, stopping at a tea plantation, the local market and a stop at a local restaurant.
We had such a great time throughout; and the Gorilla trekking was absolutely amazing (one of the coolest things I have ever done).
The cultural experiences on the way were also interesting, and Smith really made the experience feel personal (we even got to meet his parents). We felt really well cared for!
Strongly recommend booking the trip with Smith! We just wish we could have stayed longer…

Complete, attentive and caring
My mum and me traveled around Uganda for 10 days. From the day 1, our guides Samuel and Simon were the most attentive guides we could ever ask for. The trip was flexible so that we could fulfil our expectations despite very very few encounters with the heavy rain expected during this month. Nonetheless, we enjoyed so much our trip. It didn't only meet our expectations but overcome them.
Of note, it was my birthday the first day of the tour, and they even got me a cake. This is a small sample about how sweet they were.
There was a bit if miscommunication about what we thought it was planned and what it was actually planned for us, but our guides made everything possible so that we could actually enjoy all the activities we had in mind.
We not only enjoyed but also learnt a lot about the animals we encountered. And also let's not forget about birds, which were among the main characters of our trip and about which our guides knew so much.
I would definitely recommend to visit Uganda, it is indeed the Pearl of Africa, and also, Lulu Safaris to show you the treasures among its land.

Fantastic tour and amazing experience
We booked a 2-day gorilla trekking experience with Lulu Safari. Elvis made the booking process easy and efficient. We maintained communication over the months leading up to the safari and he patiently responded to my random questions and eased my concerns more than once ;)
The day of the tour, our guide Smith was prompt to pick us up from the hotel in Kigali. He was friendly, warm and welcoming from the moment he introduced himself. The drive was long but he offered so much information about the culture, stopped for photos and always asked if we needed a break. He was accommodating and entertaining throughout the drive and it was appreciated. He was an advocate for us in immigration and got us through the line and process quickly.
The gorilla trek accommodations and permits were all pre-arranged for us by Lulu Safari and the process was seamless. The gorilla experience itself was absolutely amazing!
Based on my experience, I highly recommend Lulu Safari and suggest asking for Smith as your guide!

Enthusiastic, knowledge, fun tour
We did the 4 day gorilla and golden monkey trek tour through Rwanda and Uganda with Lulu Safari and were lucky enough to get Smith as our tour guide. Smith had the best energy throughout and was always ensuring that we were having the best tour we could and he would do anything to make sure of it. I would recommend both lulu safari and Smith to anyone travelling to Africa in the future if you’d like to have a fun, enjoyable informative time.

Fun, enjoyable and knowledgeable.
From the beginning lulu adventures were welcoming and happy answer any questions. To the initial pick from our accommodation Smith made our trip worth while, went above and beyond to cater for us. Informative, knowledgeable and experienced guide which made our trip enjoyable. Recommend to anyone.
