Best safari company & tour ever!
Travel Light Africa is AMAZING!! You will not regret booking travel or a tour with them!!
My husband and I had two free days and one night while we were in Uganda this past April. We showed up to the Travel Light Africa offices after they had closed the evening before we wanted to depart. We had been to three other travel agencies hoping to find one that was open and could accommodate our last minute plans. Travel Light Africa was the only one to deliver - and boy, did they! The owners came back to the office in 10 minutes, and less than 30 minutes later we had a safari trip booked for 6am the next morning.
Our driver was on time both mornings and went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable the entire trip. He was on time for everything, kept us updated on plans (where we were, why he was driving faster or slower, the safety of the areas–Uganda is very safe, estimated times of arrival, what to expect at every turn). We went to Murchison Falls National Park and sw more animals than I could EVER HAVE IMAGINED! My biggest concern was going on a safari and not seeing any wild animals, but our driver knew the right roads to travel to see them. It was hands down the most amazing safari we have been on! We saw multiple parades of elephants and towers of giraffes, more warthogs than I knew existed, tons of oribi, antelope, baboons, various monkeys, hippos, water buffalo, uganda kobs, nile crocodiles, and more!! It was AMAZING.
We stayed at the most beautiful resort on the Nile, had phenomenal meals, and enjoyed the company of our driver, who was a local, and available to answer any and every question we had!
To top it off, we asked the owners where we might purchase Uganda Cranes soccer jerseys for our kids, and they went out and purchased them for us, and had them in hand when we returned to Entebbe.
You can't beat this kind of service! We're already booking our next trip with them and will bring the kids as soon as we can!

Family safari tour to Murchison Falls way beyond all expectations - A dream come true
We were really happy to go through Travel light africa - we were really concerned by travelling in good conditions as we were travelling with young kids. straight from the beginning the staff at Travel light gave us great advices and were really willing to make our trip an easy and safe one. The trip to murchison was smooth an nice. We stayed at Fort murchison, the lodge is really beautiful, the landscape around lake albert simply breathtaking, you can even see elephants from your room!! We are French and were really surprised by the quality of the food, very good made by a real chef! from breakfast to dinner the food is terrific and the staff is nice. The safari tour was beyond expectations, the lodge is near a parc gate which is very convenient, we got to see it all girafes, hippos, buffalos, kobs and LIONS! If this trip was so perfect is thanks to our driver and travel light africa staff. We definitely recommend them and hope to have the chance to make other safaris in the magnificent and welcoming Uganda.
