It was OK
I booked my tour with Dan from Kisoro Tours Uganda. The safari itself was good, I enjoyed the trekking and the gorillas, however, I did not like how at the last moment before our arrival Dan tried to raise the prices of our safari (250 USD extra per person, because he had to organize additional car - rental of additional car with the driver for 3 days is less than 200 USD in Uganda), which did not happen, but still the move left bad aftertaste in my mouth... I also was severely disappointed with the Broadbill Forest Camp - truly a terrible accommodation! Still not completed - 6 years after initiation, old tents, water trickling from the shower, no water in the toilet the last day, personnel without any idea about how to manage the camp and not familiar with the hospitality concept whatsoever, electricity only until 10 PM and then overwhelming darkness, microscopic food portions, on the trekking day we were served rice and vegetables as it was raining so nobody in the camp felt like going down to the village to buy some much needed proteins etc. Initially we were thinking we should have stayed in the forest longer than just 2 nights, but after seeing and experiencing the camp, we were glad that we didn't cater for longer stay. 2 other persons from our group were staying in a different location, which judging from their descriptions was much more liveable. Maybe Broadbill Forest Camp is comparatively cheaper to the organizers... My advise: go for Kisoro tours, but avoid the Broadbill Forest Camp!

Enjoyable safari vacation.
We had a good time visiting Uganda. We saw the chimpanzees in Kibale, lions and other animals in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and zebras in Lake Mburo. The highlight was our time with the gorillas in Bwindi. Dan - thank so much!
Dan the Man
Dan, the owner of Kisoro Tours is someone I met several years ago. I help run a charity based near to the town of Mbale, 7 hours by road, from Entebbe.I book Dan to drive me there and once in Mbale, to drive me around locally for a few days. He is an excellent, safe driver, and a most pleasant person to be around.
Dan has never actually planned an itinerary, nor booked hotels/lodges on my behalf, since I already know exactly where and when, I am going.
As far as his vehicle is concerned, it's a 7 seater jeep, comfortable but not especially luxurious.
I would certainly recommend Dan as a driver.
Dan's prices are high, he charged us $170 per day, I think the going rate is nearer $100 per day excluding fuel.

An unforgettable journey thanks to Dan!
We made this trip with our four young children. The beauty of Uganda and the friendliness of the people has touched all of us. But what truly made it an unforgettable experience was our guide, Dan. From the moment we met, he made us feel welcome and at ease.
He helped to develop an itinerary adapted to our needs and made sure everything was arranged nicely, despite the short notice. We really loved all of the accommodations he had chosen for us. Dan definitely has an extended knowledge and is really dedicated, considerate and caring for everyone. He was very patient with the children and the best driver you can find. Also, when challenges arose, Dan remained calm and organized, ensuring that the trip always ran smoothly. He even had another car come at night to ensure we could continue our trip without delay or problems. Dan is very cheerful and has a great sense of humor. We also enjoyed the interesting conversations we had
For all the six of us, it really was an adventure filled with unforgettable moments, thanks to our amazing guide and all of his efforts. Dan made this trip a magical experience and we will look back on this journey with warm memories. Thank you for everything!

Amazing Experience
This was an amazing experience and truly once in a lifetime up close with chimpanzees and gorillas. Everything was organized. Dan was my guide and he was very informative. Great experience with Kisoro Tours Uganda Ltd!

Once in a lifetime experience.
We had an excellent time travelling with Kisoro tours. Dan was an excellent tour leader, who got us safely from place to place. The car was comfortable and had lots of room. We came and returned to Kigali, so the border crossing was very straight forward both ways. We loved seeing the chimpanzees and gorillas up close. They were incredible. We also loved the accommodation provided and felt well looked after. A truly wonderful trip.
