We love Uganda and Cul Tours!
Our first safaritrip was with Stephen to Murchisonfalls. The first night we slept in a tent and the second night in a beautiful lodge in front of a very nice view of the Nile. The hospitality was good because the employers were very kind. They were smiling all the time and if you had any questions you got help almost immediately. Besides that, the food was delicious and the accomodation is located in superb nature area. Tourguide Stephen takes every personal desire of his guests in account. His knowlegde about the different kind of animals is extensive, you can ask him everything. It was a great experience and a nice comfortable journey. We travelled in a sort of Safari-buss with 4 people including Stephen, because of that we had a lot of space. Our second trip with Cul Tours was to Jinja, this was with the always laughing and friendly driver Solomon. We had the desire to visit a local family and a school. When you go with Cul Tours, Cul Tours arranges a flexible schedule for you based on your personal wishes and even though you want to do something else, you can change the schedule in consulation with the person of Cul Tours. Our next trip will be definitely with Cul Tours to!

Had a good time with cul tours safari
I had went two times with This great Company. First with my Girl friend and I in 10 days. They had booked some great accomondation, where we met the local People, in Kampala, Masindi and murchison Falls. The service was great, and the driver was so kind and funny. He heller us a lot and showed us a lot of things.
The secon time was with my friend, going for gorilla trekking in bwindi, we had a beautiful and Nice trip from Kampala, going throug equator. We lived very good in bwindi and Lake buyonji. I Can recommended This great Company for everybody if you want a good trip!

I could not have imagined a better company with better tourguides
Traveling to Uganda? This is why you should consider Cul Tours!
I have been travelling a lot as a backpacker, I aim for the real, cultural and local experience. In a country like Uganda you need a "key" to enter these local experiences and get heart to heart with the people and their culture, and for me, this key was Cul Tours. I have never met a guide, let me say human being, that was so eager to provide the ultimate customer service, so caring and flexible to my wants and needs!
Communication is straight forward and fast, the company is run by Ugandans. It's definitely possible to stitch together a tour that suits you with the things you find most interesting - on a side-note I recommend to discuss with them and listen to their recommendations, they really do have vast knowledge of Uganda.
I asked for local, I got local! They took me to dance in a village, had me taste all the wondrous and peculiar foods, took me hiking in Sipi Falls and Mount Elgon - dined with a local family, drank locally brewed traditional beer (was even offered the full ceremony including circumcision, but humbly turned down the offer). Walked through a fishing community, tasted their dried fish and embraced all the curious and excited children that rarely see white people... I slept in clay and straw huts, they're fantastic to sleep in because they're cool in the nights.
I visited orphanages, there's a particular one in the West Nile Region in Koboko at the border of South Sudan and Congo that stole my heart.
I also went for the safaris, and they are as you might expect if you've watched National Geographic, Animal Planet etc., amazing experience - though you do see many tourists, you don't see them much when on the actual safaris and it doesn't feel crowded, unless it's the boat safari.
When it comes to expectations, I must say they were not only met but exceeded. There are other, larger companies in Uganda but the word goes they're too mainstream and boring, with Cul Tours you'll be sure to be in for an extraordinary experience.
I'll visit Uganda again, and I'll ask for Cul Tours' guide Stephen - the most sympathetic, understanding and smiling man of Uganda.
Love, Martin

Stephen the founder of Cul Tours, simply the best!!!
A few years ago we've met Stephen on the fair in Belgium, he was a guide for Matoke, he persueded us to come to Uganda. Once we were in that beautiful country we saw Stephen several times, always friendly and ready to listen. The people who he was guiding were very satisfied with him. Now he has his own compagnie Cul Tours and Safaris, and I'm shore he is the best guide you can have! When we go again to Uganda we will definitely go with him!
