Unexpected Uganda. Nature, Safari and much more
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.

Great 3 week trip through Uganda and Rwanda
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!

Professionals at work
We travel the world several times a year with guides. Destination Jungle Safaris has so far been the best company in terms of preparation and implemenation.
Excellent guide James who speaks perfect german (better as much germans :-)) with extensive knowledge and superior about land, people, culture and wildlife. Vehicles in technically perfect condition. The well-being of the guest is very important to this company.
High quality standard also from backoffice (Christina).
This journey will remain unforgotten. We love Uganda.
Thanks to the whole team of Destinations Jungle Safaris

Best journey ever!!!
This was the best journey of our lifes. Everything was perfectly planned and operated. From the first day until the last, there was nothing to complain about. Every wish we could came up with, was fulfilled and our driver/ guide was the best. He alsways knew where to find the lions and other special animals and we also always got the best views. He was very friendly and knew every road we took by heart, he also knew a lot about the animals. He took really good care of us!
The time in Uganda and Ruanda was so nice and we are still thinking a lot about the three weeks we spent there.
Thank you very much for this great experience!

Great adventure despite perfect organisation
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.

Paradise in Uganda
I visited Uganda in November of 2015. I was extremely happy with the professionalism , the English knowledge and the cultural knowledge of my guide Charles Wagaana . The trip was a dream come true. Charles made sure that I'd have a first rate cultural experience, interacting with local population, stopping to eat local food and experiencing local music and local dances form the variety of tribes that make up Uganda. Extremely pleased with the services of Destination Jungle. I will definitely use them again and I highly recommend the company.

A superb experience giving us a wide view of western Uganda, it's scenery, animals and way of life!
The pre holiday communication was excellent, with emails and phone calls from Christina. We mostly followed a company tour of Western Uganda. After the first night in Kampala, with amazing views of lake Victoria, we travelled to Murchison Falls in the north west, then south through game parks and wonderful scenery.
Ismail, our guide really put himself out to make sure that we had a fantastic experience, and he succeeded. He was determined to find the leopard living in the ruins of the burnt out lodge. Success! The game drives were varied and the boat trips too gave us splendid animal and bird viewings as well as a visit to a fishing village and a local school. The chimpanzee trek, relatively easy walking through the forest, was well rewarded with the chimpanzees in the trees and then on the ground, so close to us. The gorilla trek over challenging terrain was a real highlight. It was worth every penny, a real MUST DO! Ismail looked after us so well, making sure that we were in the group for the nearest gorilla family because of our age etc. But the guides were all determined that we would all succeed and enjoy the experience. They had even carried one lady all the way back. I was determined that wouldn't be me!!!!!! The gorilla family of 10 or 11, with two babies, was so close. They moved around and entertained us for about an hour, then began to melt into the forest. They knew our time was up!!! What an experience. We were so pleased we made it.
The roads /tracks were an experience in themselves and we were so grateful for the land cruiser with its good suspension. Even so it was a rough old ride in places. A mini bus would not have been so good.
The lodges were all very comfortable, all with mosquito nets, and beautiful locations. The menus were limited because there were so few other guests. But the choice was adequate and the food very acceptable. The service was amazing throughout. All staff were so anxious to please, they insisted on cleaning our boots after the trek, and also ironed a couple of shirts I had washed. I even had an impromptu late birthday cake at the first lodge!
We were just thrilled with the whole trip. Many thanks to Ismail for his care and commitment in making it such a memorable adventure.
