Very well organized and professional, and made the trip very easy for us
We did a five day trip to Bwindi to see the gorillas, and to Lake Mburo park, staying two nights at Lake Mulehe gorilla lodge and two days at Kigambira Safari lodge. The trip was amazing, our guide Prim was great, very helpful and taught us so much about Uganda and the language. Everything was straightforward, well explained, and happened on schedule. The Safari van we took was in great shape and with good suspension for some of the bumpy roads. Both lodges were great, very friendly and with delicious food. We had plenty of activities to do and saw lots of animals but still had some time to relax in between. Great balance.

Reliable, very reactive and flexible
We had a four days safari trip with Pearl Afric, before the departure the communication with William was very good. William managed to build a programme compatible with our budget. The trip to Bwindi was incredible all the places in which we stayed were special with beautiful view. Our driver took care of us and took our expectations into account carefully. We always felt safe.

A wonderful trip to remember for a lifetime
Our four day trip to Bwindi impenetrable forest and lake Mburo was simply wonderful. Hannington is an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable, has a lot of experience and managed our trip extremely well. We are very happy with the way all was arranged. The Mountain gorilla's are of course very impressive. Bird watching on lake Mburo was perfect, all in all I would recomend this trip and Pearl Afric Tours & Travels very much!

Efficient and knowledgeable- a wonderful trip!
I had a wonderful trip in Rwanda and Uganda. PearlAfric were responsive to all of my questions and incredibly helpful. During the tour my guide Hannington was wonderful. I learnt a huge amount from him including about all the animals and birds I encountered. I could not have asked for a better guide as it really made my trip. I can't wait to return and see more of beautiful Uganda.

21 days amazing Uganda nature and culture experience
After a first experience of my parents-in-law travelling through Uganda with PearlAfric back in 2013, we decided in 2021 to get in touch again with PearlAfric for organizing a tour we wanted to do in 2022 with the whole family (11 people, 3 families). As from the start the communication with Innocent from PearlAfric was very open, friendly and professionally. The whole process of deciding on the exact tour, taking into account our wishes, leaving flexibility when needed (eg. to visit a local project we have been supporting for many years) and overcoming some hurdles (like getting the youngest of 12 approved for the gorilla trekking) was very constructive, very efficient and very well managed.
With a good peace of mind we took our plane on the 22nd of July 2022 to Uganda. From our arrival at Entebbe, until flying back home, every single thing was perfectly organized and we were the whole time in the very capable hands of our experienced drivers/guides Tony (Hannington) and Abdul. We have had so many interesting, amazing, touching and inspiring experiences, meeting the local cultures throughout Uganda, visiting the national parks discovering so many wonderful animals (benefiting from the expert eyes and knowledge of our guides), enjoying the beautiful lodges and enjoying the lovely and super friendly people of Uganda.
Just before our last week of the 3 weeks, Abdul suddenly had to leave for personal reasons and PearlAfric managed a swift replacement of Abdul (giving him the time needed) by Prim, another excellent driver/guide. This is just another proof of the quality of the team of PearlAfric, and the heart of PearlAfric for its team. Special thanks also to Tony for his care, his problemsolving skills and his professionalism.
We always prefer, when travelling through countries in other continents, to work with local travel companies, because they know their own countries the best, we ensure that what we pay is 100% benefiting the local country and you can get very good value for money. PearlAfric is an excellent proof that this approach is a very good choice.

Perfect organisation, wonderful guide
We booked a ten days trip through Ugandas National Parks such as Murchison Falls, Kabale und Queen Elizabeth. Pearl Afric Tours & Travel offers highly professional services: from proposing us the best options over the handling of the payment to keeping us informed all the time. In the field everything has worked out perfectly – all the lodges were superb and we spotted more animals that we could have imagined.
The guide we had - David Ategeka - was simply great. He told us a thousand interesting things about the country, it’s nature and it’s people. David is an excellent and very prudent driver and he made our trip in Uganda to a unique experience. We can only recommend Pearl Afric Tours & Travel to anyone else.

Uganda full of miracles!
Pearl Afric is the best Company to experience Uganda in details, wonders and a lot of knowledge. We really loved the whole tour with especially also because of our tour guide Prim. He did a fantastic job and I would like to thank him so much. He was really friendly, lovely and had a lot of knowledge. It was really worth it.
