Good safari on a budget
SCB Tour and Travel offers a safari experience at a price that’s more economical than most other operators. During the planning phase, Salomon was incredibly helpful and precise in recommending the perfect itinerary. We were fortunate to see all of the Big Five, thanks to their expertise and knowledge of the best routes. Having two guides was a bonus—one focused on driving while the other spotted animals, making the safari even more enjoyable.
However, there are a few areas for improvement. Time management could be better, as we missed two sunrise safaris and only saw the Ishasha sector briefly. Communication during the trip was also lacking. It would be great if the guides engaged more with guests during long drives. Additionally, a couple of the hotels didn’t meet the expected standard for European tourists, so I recommend reviewing these and considering changes.
Overall, I would recommend SCB Tour and Travel, but keep these points in mind to ensure an even better experience.

Posted on Aug 28, 2024thanks for your review and advice ,we shall do work on the time management ,though we had a great trip where we did spot everything from spoting a leopard go up the trip with a kill and of which the pictures where even posted on the ugwildlife instagram and Facebook pages and credits were given ,to lions ,elephants ,gorillas ,chimps ,giraffes among others .we did miss one sunrise game drive at Murchison Falls Np due to the heavy rain down pour and we did compensate it with another game drive aft the rain before we did leave the park for Kibale ,
then when it comes to Ishasha sector its a brief pass through because we had spotted a male lion on the tree the previous day from the same sector and also the safety of the place
we managed to even get a glimpse of a lion hunting in Murchison Falls

My first trip to Uganda was nothing short of fulfilling, thanks to Solomon's exceptional guidance. From the moment I arrived at the airport, I was received promptly and warmly, setting a fantastic tone for the journey ahead. Communication was consistent and reliable, maintained not just during the tour but also before and after, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. Solomon meticulously adhered to the itinerary, leaving no stone unturned in showcasing the wonders of Uganda. His respectful demeanor paired with an infectious sense of fun made every moment enjoyable and memorable. The service provided by Solomon and the team was beyond exceptional, offering great value for the money spent. Overall, my trip under Solomon's guidance was an unforgettable adventure, leaving me with cherished memories of Uganda's beauty and warmth."

Most convenient and favorite tour
For any kinds of guided tour around Uganda and Rwanda (be it for business but mostly pleasure), the most convenient and reliable company I would recommend is Scb Tours and Travels. Very friendly, informed about all the most attractive places of touring, meals and accommodation, and I found their fees very realistic. Scb Tours and Travels, good job!

Flexible
I reached out because I wanted to do a journey to various activities that others said couldn’t be done. Instead of saying no, we came up with the itinerary that hit every single item and more. The adjusting on the fly due to traffic or weather was so great. The experience were once in a lifetime. If you are looking for a customizable experience I highly recommend.

SCB Tours made our trip.
SCB Tours really made our trip and ensured the best possible gorilla tracking experience my friend and I could have wished for.
Solomons communication was great on the weeks leading up to our trip and was always on hand to answer any questions and provided great advice which helped us In Further planning our journey around East Africa.
Solomon handled everything efficiently including the crossing of the boarder from rwanda to uganda, took us tracking and then made sure we reached our next destination Entebbe safely and on time.
Big thanks to everybody at SCB Tours including Moses who was our amazing driver.

Outstanding effort
Was picked up in kigali and shuttled to bwindi np then taken to entebbe.
Amazing service all around. Was a long trip but well worth it..
The gorrilla trecking is amazing if not for the faint hearted.
But the service recived was amazing. Even from the planning stage right threw to drop off we had great experience. Even just the advise given for coming to uganda was helpful. Any questions was answered and nothing was to much trouble.
If you are considering gorilla trecking this is the company for you.

An amazing experience
In Juli 2023, we had booked an 15-Day tour with Scb Tours and Travel. It was absolutely fantastic. The tour was fully arranged and the accommodations where well taken care of. The tour guides are fluent in english and know a lot about nature and the region we were going to travel through. We also did several extra activities during our tour like getting local food or doing community tours. All in all you get great value for your money. It was an amazing unforgettable excperience!

street food and community tours
The team at scb tours helped me and my friends from Denmark who were going to do their medical internships in Uganda. I had 4 Danish internee friends who were interested in rhino, chimps and gorilla tracking. I recommended scb tours and travel and they did an amazing work from the planning , effectiveness in communication. The well detailed itinerary, when it came to hotel bookings. Every hotel was on point ,food were delicious ,and my friends liked local food and the street Rolex (chappati rolled in fried eggs ) the driver and the guide were top notch.
Though they have to improve on their tour van as it broke down twice ,though they made sure that no activity was missed ,apart from that the trip went on well and our memories were captured as promised ,lastly the community tours ,the people of bigodi were the best especially the banana man ,who makes juice and gin or alcohol out of bananas plus the medicine man and the the ladies who performed traditional dances for us ,and displayed their weaving skills
In summary I would recommend scb tours and travel to my foreign friends ,penpals and medical internees
Thanks
