Useful and organized travel operator who chose marvelous guides to make our trip wonderful
We went for 14 days in Uganda, we were three adults and had a two wonderful guides: Vianney and Sunday. The trip started in Entebbe and continued in Murchinson, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi and Nboro. The safari was very well organized to make this trip a wonderful experience. We had the chance to saw many animals due to the experience of our guides. We were capable of exchanging half the time in French with Vianney our guide, and we were provided a ton of informations on all the places we visited and on all the people we talked to. Everyone simplified our trip and made our worries disappear.
We highly recommend Encounter Africa Safaris and more precisely our two guide Vianney and Sunday, who did everything for us and were, for sure, one of the best part of our trip!

Amazing trip with Encounter Africa Safaris
I just completed a three week tour of Rwanda and Uganda with Encounter Africa Safaris and I can honestly say I had a phenomenal trip. This trip was originally slated for 2020 and I paid my gorilla permit fees to experience this in both countries before Covid shut the world down. My tour consultant, Patrick, was absolutely fabulous in communicating with me and reassuring me that they would hold the payment until I was able to visit. He answered all my questions and made some wonderful suggestions on how to get the most out of my time in the two countries. He even responded immediately to emails I sent when I figured they would be out of office and answered on the next business day (I'm convinced Patrick doesn't sleep). My naturalist and tour guide, Elias, was equally fantastic. Elias has so much knowledge about the histories of the two nations, the cultures, endemic animals - you name it, he had an answer. We spent long hours driving from one section to the other of each nation and it was as though we were old friends on a road trip - we had some really good conversations and I learned so much from him. He was professional, considerate, dedicated and personable. As a solo female traveler, he put me at total ease and I trusted him entirely with my itinerary and making sure I was safe and had a memorable holiday. I highly recommend this company - my holiday exceeded all my expectations. Even when it became evident that I would not be able to visit the Democratic Republic of Congo as I had originally planned when we first discussed my itinerary, Patrick added in other activities the month before I arrived and everything just flowed. I cannot recommend this company enough.
