Queen Elizabeth national park
3/5

I came to visit my daughter in Uganda at the end of May and for many years loved to your around on a short tour in Uganda so my daughter planned a surprise trip for me before i moved to the east where we have a project supporting a primary school. The tour was indeed a good surprise, we visited in Queen Elizabeth park and saw many animals including a visit to the Kyambura gorge which is a beautiful place for seeing the chimps. I like the water excursion on the nile till we arrived at the point where we saw clearly the bottom of the waterfall forming part of the river Nile. I enjoyed my trip to Queen Elizabeth and i will not hesitate to suggest this operator Destination Jungle to my friends back home. Oh, Boaz was our guide to show us the animals

Great adventure despite perfect organisation
5/5

10 days across the highlights of Uganda was a fantastic experience and felt like an adventure even though the organization was perfect. Our guide was knowledgable, an excellent driver and very friendly. I would recommend to book a Uganda trip to anybody who wants to see Africa off the beaten track.

Great 3 week trip through Uganda and Rwanda
5/5

We had an excellent, carefully designed trip for the four of us with the outstanding guide/driver, Abdul.
He kept us safe, drove safely through all different kinds of roads, showed us amazing wildlife ranging from birds to mammals, and gave us great insight into both countries that we visited. He was able to switch to driving on the "wrong" side of the road in Rwanda with no problems! He did a great job of packing and unpacking all of our bags and giving us options in planning our daily schedule. The hotels that they selected for us were very good and several were simply great! Our meals were also delicious and filling. Abdul also gave us a choice between "western" or local food for our lunches and we were very happy with the local restaurants that he found for us.
As with any long trip, there were a few glitches which were not the fault of Abdul nor of Destination Jungle Safaris. Their back office stayed in touch with us by phone to talk us through any rough spots as they occurred.
We believe that we received very good value and appreciated that we could customize the trip before we signed on. This allowed us to know which long days of travel we had signed up for and when to expect one night stands versus two or three night stays which allow one to rest and re-energize.
We certainly recommend Destination Jungle Safaris for anyone thinking of going to these two fascinating countries. The two visits to the mountain gorillas (one in each country) were beyond words!

Unexpected Uganda. Nature, Safari and much more
5/5

I didn't expect to find Uganda so fascinating.
It was a while that me and my husband were planning this trip and I have to say that Destination Jungle was just the perfect solution. Every day our driver and guide took care of our tour and explain to us what we would have seen and done. He was also very flexible with our expectation that were pretty high. I had a wonderful experience and I would recommend to all to join this tour to celebrate nature and appreciate our earth.

New year in Uganda
5/5

From the beginning of the preparing of this trip I had not problems with this agency and its tour consultant Christina. Christina is very communicated, clever, flexible and very easy women. We were 7 Russian tourists. We traveled from 29th of December to 9th of January 2014. Christina met us at airport. We had safari in Elizabeth National Park, Murchison NP. We saw different African animals so like hippopotamus, different monkeys, birds, elephants, giraffes, antelopes, wart hogs, lions, crocodiles and so on. We celebrated New Years day in the lake Nkuruba. But only one thing was not ok: our driver did not celebrate it with us. We were very sad. We didn't invite him. But we didn't know he waited for our invite. So, note: please, if you want to invite your driver to celebrate something, say it to him). In Elgon NP we made tracking to Wagagai pick (4321 m). Then we had rafting on the White Nile. Everywhere we were with our professional driver. They kindly showed us their country: their life and people. They kindly explained us every thing we did not understand. Our trip was very bright and memorable. Thank you so much Christina and Destination Jungle for making this trip wonderful for us

Fantastic experience sitting with the gorillas!
5/5

Two friends and I traveled to Volcanoes National Park with Destination Jungle. Our guide Kirenga was so knowledgeable about Rwandan history that he gave us insightful context throughout our visit. The agency organized our visas for golden monkey and gorilla visitations. We stayed at the beautiful and comfortable Mountain Gorilla view Lodge. What a nice place to come home to after spending the morning in the wet and muddy jungle!

Don't Worry, Be Happy.
5/5

Destination Jungle could easily adopt the title of the song, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" as their slogan. I originally contacted Destination Jungle because they offered the best rates for the trip I wanted. All through the planning process, my agent, Christina, happily answered all my questions (and there were quite a few) and made suggestions for the optimal experience in my travel to Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania. When I arrived at my first destination, Christina was there to introduce herself and brief me on the itinerary. She and my guides were accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel welcome and at ease in my travel as a single woman in unfamiliar territory. I couldn't ask for more. Traveling with Destination Jungle was a wonderful experience, and I was absolutely "happy", with "no worry". Thanks, Destination Travel!

Great time in the Ruwenzori's with Destination Jungle
5/5

Together with two friends I did a 9 day trekking and the ascend of Mt Margaritha and Mt Speke organised by Destination Jungle. We had a great time. On the airport there was a pick up, we had a good hotel in Entebbe, a perfect drive to the Ruwenzori, the trekking was good organised (only the food could have been al little bit better) and after the trekking Destination Jungle had a big suprise for us. We stayed our last night in a very nice resort near the crater lakes. A big treat after spending nine days in the mountains. I checked other touristorganisations for trekking in the Ruwenzori's and Destination Jungle gives us the best price and the quality was high.
