Best Safari Experience
Since i didnt find other reviews here, i thought i would update you on my trip with Insight Safari Holidays. This delivered an experience that was both exhilarating and relaxing. I enjoying trekking to see the gorillas and a visit to Mount Ruwenzori. I was amazed at their commitment to responsible tourism which was evident throughout the trip. If you're looking for a safari company that balances luxury with authenticity, and adventure with comfort, I can't recommend Insight Safari Holidays enough. They truly live up to their name, providing genuine insights into the beauty of African wildlife and culture.Our guide, Edmund, was incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and ecosystems. His ability to spot animals from a distance was almost supernatural!

Memories to last a lifetime
I have been planning our trip to Africa for approx 1 year and Calah has been absolutely amazing with her communication on behalf of insight safari. We found the whole service that Insight supplied to be AMAZING from accommodation choices to the actual tours that they organised on our behalf. We chose the 5 day Gorilla and Chimp Trek trip with a few custom edits. Day 1 - Our Guide Ayub picked us up ON TIME and even waited for us to finish our breakfast before the long drive to the West of the country with our day ending in an amazing Lodge that was owned and operated by the local community meaning EVERY CENT of the money spent there went back into the community and not into some rich mans pocket. We were lucky enough to stay here 2 nights and we shared the place with only 1 other family. Day 2 was Gorilla Trekking and bo this was just magical. Day 3 we transferred to Queen Elizabeth National Park and Insight organised a PRIVATE cruise along the Kazinga channel which contains the largest population of Hippos in Uganda and even in Africa. Day 4 started with a Safari game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park (once again this was a private tour with our own Ranger from Uganda wildlife) Day 5 was Chimpanzee Trekking and this was also an amazing experience however this is not for the unfit. As a larger person I found this to be quite challenging. Unfortunately this brings us to the end of the trip with Insight and it was time to go home... :(

Excellent tour from beginning to end!
We have always wanted to do the Gorilla Tracking so when we did a research as to how to go about it, that's when my husband came across with Insight Safari Holidays. He contacted the company and they were really helpful in helping as plan for the trip. Initially, we only wanted to do the Gorillas but then decided we might as well explore other areas like Queen Elizabeth National Park and do the chimpanzee tracking as well, so they help us out with the planning, the choosing of accomodations and based on what we wanted to do , they curated a well organized itinerary. They are very easy to deal with and very helpful. So when we arrived in Uganda , we got picked up by our tour guide Ayub, which is one of the best tour guide that we have ever met and he took good care of us for the 5 days trip that we are booked with them. He did everything, he was a very good driver and very knowledgeable about the places we are going, about animals and about the entire country of Uganda. We had a very memorable trip, 5 days was very short but we were able to do what we wanted to do, and that is to visit the Mountain Gorillas and the chimpanzees and other animals were just a bonus. So if anyone wants to visit Uganda and get the same experience as we did, reach out to Insight Safaris , we dealt we Calah which was very helpful and plan your trip with their help. At the end of the day, it's your trip and they are there to plan and organize your trip with you based on what you want, and that's why we ended up with a trip of a lifetime.

Fantastic
My son and wife decided to go to Uganda and I was lucky enough to go with them. We initially chose a 4 day trip but extended it to 5 days so we could go to queen Elizabeth national Park. Ayub was our guide, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. Always checking we were ok, not the fittest group. He organized that we were able to do the easiest gorilla Trek. Introduced us to some local food, even went out of his way to buy us jackfruit, son's wife loves it.
Our tour was great, designed just for us. Only complaint was Ayub never dressed up as a wild dog for us........we told him if we didn't see one we expected him to. Everything he did he did with a smile on his face
Thanks insight safari holidays for making out trip memorable.
