Super friendly and sorted everything out for us. Will be using Kisoro Tours again
Dan from Kisoro Tours was absolutely amazing. He speaks great English aswell as the local Rwandan language. We would recommend these guys for any age group, as we know they will look after you. We will definitely be back in the near future to do another one of their tours - maybe a safari or white water rafting next time. Thanks again, we had the time of our lives!
Great guide, great tour
They were great to deal with through the booking process and even better on tour. Our guide innocent was exceptional and we loved our time in Rwanda. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience. Great Guide. Thouroughly enjoyable. Would strongly recommend.
In August this year, my daughter and I visited Uganda. We booked a Safari through Kisoro tours who were brilliant. They planned the whole trip for us. All we had to do was sit back and enjoy. Dan our guide was excellent. He catered for all our needs and was a brilliant guide. Our Safari lasted for three days. It included trips round the parks, visits to places of interest and a visit to the source of the Nile. Our accommodation was fantastic. A glamping experience on top of a hill with great views all around. I would strongly recommend Kisoro Tours Uganda for your safari experience.

Book with Dan!
If you're thinking of traveling to see the mountain gorillas in Bwindi then I would highly recommend booking through Kisoro Tours Uganda. Dan, the main guide, was incredibly kind and helpful. I was a bit apprehensive sending money online at first, but he acquired the permits himself and we simply paid upon arrival. He met us at the Entebbe airport and from there it was a really incredible trip around Uganda. We ended up staying at the Bakiga Lodge, which I would also highly encourage as they are beautiful lodges that over look the forest with a fireplace and bar (beats a rainy tent!). The lodge also uses the money to help get clean water to the surrounding villages. I'm trying to think of any drawbacks that we had, but we were just really happy with how it all worked out. If you have any questions you can email me. Best of luck!

It was an amazing trip
We did 3 days gorillas tracking tour in Bwindi National park in Uganda. Booking was done through Dan from Kisoro tours. Everything was perfect for this trip and it was organized so well. Our guide and driver- Paul, was such a helpful and nice guy. The forest is beautiful, something I miss now somehow.

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!

Mini safari
Feb 2017 I was in Uganda for a small getaway and decided last minute to go on a local safari. Kisoro tours were recommended. I told Dan what I would like and he put forward a couple of packages, taking into consideration my timeframe and budget.
I chose Lake Mburo national park with overnight accommodation . We went on safari the first day and saw a variety of animals in there habitat, then finished off with a boat trip on rage river and was amazed by the wildlife on and around us. The evening was spent in an echo friendly lodge , the food was delicious and the individual cottages were outstanding, waking up to monkeys on your porch is something else. The day was finished off with another safari where we tracked down the elusive giraffes and then back to Entebbe. All in all the whole adventure is something I will always remember and was well worth every penny

Fantastic Adventure
In February I travelled to Entebbe, Uganda, and wanted to see some wildlife in it's natural habitat. so chose Lake Mboro, which was a very manageable 3 hour drive.
Our every need was taken care of, and our guide, Dan, was a very good and respectful driver, making us feel safe at all times. On arrival at the guest house, we were greeted by the hosts, and nothing was too much trouble. The lodges are great. Clean, spacious and comfortable. We had an incredible view from our verandah.
Our first day was spent driving round the wildlife park in Dan's Land Cruiser, with the top down so we could see all around us. Dan has a real guide's knack of knowing where the animals might be, seeing them long before we could; and on day 2 we were lucky enough to come across a family of giraffe, who seemed as interested in us as we were in them. We also went for a boating trip on the lake getting up close and personal with hundreds of hippos, dodging crocodiles, and spotting eagles in the sunshine and swooping over the water - it was unforgettable and magical. Can't recommend the tour highly enough, and Dan was a pleasure to be with.

Wonderful experience about the tour.
