An amazing 3 month safari through Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda & Rwanda w/ Deo Muhumuza & co-guides!
On our 5th trip to Africa, we wanted to see as much as possible. So, we spent 3 months with Deo, becoming fast friends & feeling so lucky to know an expert guide, who was also friendly and fun (and loved music as much as we do!). Car troubles, border crossings, running out of ginger ale, all these "disasters" were quickly and capably handled by Deo. No one got angry, and these issues ended up being part of the fun of the trip.
During planning, I mentioned to Deo that we often liked to pay a bit extra so a "trainee" guide could join us and get experience birding, guiding and practicing English. (I recommend this, we've made many good friends this way.) And Deo, being a genius, and to honor Uganda's Year of the Woman Birder, found 4 different women guides to join us in each country! So, for once, I wasn't the only female in the group! It was a blast.
Also, he found a local expert in each country (and sometimes an additional super-localized expert), meaning my bird list was over 800 at the end of the trip (35+ mammals, too!), and that we met so many great people! We are still in touch with most of the guides & drivers, 2 years later.
I've been trying to win the lottery ever since because we so badly want to go back to East Africa to see our good friends again. Maybe I'll retire there? ;-)

Experienced and Competent.
I went to Uganda with specific target birds and Deo delivered and more. He is trustworthy and pleasant to travel with. Compare with other operators his prices were very competitive.

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience, Deo. We couldn't have wished for a better and nicer guide. The tour was very well planned, we were able to see all the animals we wanted. All the activities and accommodation were well chosen. We would book it again and again.
