Best Honeymoon Gorilla Trekking and Rwandan Tour Ever!!
We wanted to do something very different for our Honeymoon. We read a lot about the gorilla trekking tours and knew we had to have that on our itinerary. We found Wild Jungle Trails on this site and never imagined how easy and pleasant everything would be, from beginning to end. It all started with email exchanges with Teresa, she was very pleasant and very patient with us (given that this was our first time planning this sort of trip). She explained everything thoroughly and made the whole process really easy. We are big history buffs and really wanted a historic tour of the city, Teresa made sure our itinerary included everything we wanted, with no problem.
When the day of the safari came, Teresa arranged the pickup from the airport and gave us her direct number so that we could reach her at any time with any issues or questions, which was very nice and made us feel a lot better about the whole thing. Emma picked us up from the airport and since it was a bit late we headed straight to our historic hotel Hôtel des Mille Collines, where Teresa had an wonderful surprise waiting for us! Since it was our honeymoon Teresa arranged for the hotel to wait for us with a bottle of champagne in our room and rose pedals everywhere!! It was such a wonderful and thoughtful touch!
Later we found out that Emma was not only our ride from the airport, he was also our guide for the whole trip. He is so young we were a little worried about what we would get... Boy we were surprised!! Emma was simply fascinating, knowledgeable and amazing person to be with for 3 whole days. He is a history buff like we are, which was perfect!! The entire tour and trip to the gorillas we felt that we learned so much about his country. He was not only knowledgeable, but very flexible as well. Emma had no issues adopting the tour and overall trip to our needs, recommended places to visit with a lot of history which we totally enjoyed! We also went to a living museum where he had the actors reenact our wedding Rwandan Style! which was totally fun!!
Thanks to Teresa, Emma and Wild Jungle Trails we are already planning to come back to Rwanda! And we will definitely be calling them back!!

Great job!!!!
We have been waiting for this wonderful journey for more than two years. Because of Covid we could not travel.
Then it started, there were four of us and we couldn't imagine what will come.
Uganda inspired us from the first second.
Fred our wonderful, always happy and safe driver picked us up at the airport and took us to our lodge.
A great safari car was our home for 9 days. During our round trip, which took us to 5 national parks, we saw everything that Uganda had to offer in terms of animals, flora, fauna and wonderful landscapes. We were amazed and couldn't get over the joy.
Our lodges (midrange) were fabulous, the food was good everywhere. Nice and cheerful people were constantly concerned about our well-being.
Fred had an answer to every question about his country and drove us safe over both the good and the sometimes very bumpy roads.
Our side program was a community walk, a visit to a salt miner and to a Lokal cooperatives.
Really highly recommended !!!
Nine days passed like nothing. We had to go home again.
I think I will never forget this country.
THank. you Christina ,from Wild Jungle trails for your support, ideas ans arrangements.

Our tour guide was very educative and very engaging with all of us.
To use the phrase "once in a life time kind of experience" would be an understatement. This was beyond it! We traveled to the Murchison falls, our tour guide called this a Murchison falls tours. We visited the national park saw a number of wild animals and visited the waters as well, the falls itself.
Being Ugandan I thought it wound not be that exciting, but it was an amazing experience , I loved every bit of it ,I could not stop talking about it. Wild Jungle trails suggested this for us and it could not have been any better. I wish everyone gets to have this experience at list once in their lifetime there is nothing quite like it.
I am forever grateful for the experience, it felt like we were one with nature, it was a time to relax and appreciate the beauty this world has to offer.

Absolutely reliable, competent and always looking for the best experience for his guests
For wonderful 9 days I was on safari in Uganda with Wild Jungle Trails and coordinator Twaha. An individual program was put together for me according to my wishes. QENP and Ishasha, Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Lake Bunyonyi and Mburo National Park.
I am amazed by the wonderful landscapes and magnificent animals of Uganda. Twaha made it possible for me to see the big 5 and many other animals - we were often the only vehicle there!
The special thing about Wild Jungle Trails and tour operator Twaha is that as a guest I was shown and able to do so much more in addition to the announced "program". I look back very fondly on our trip to the tea fields and to the Ankole cattles, the visit to a Ugandan village cinema and the wonderful hike around a lonely crater lake.
I will never forget our spontaneous trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo and the happy meeting with the market women there or the last day of our trip, actually only the return trip was supposed to be on the agenda. But Twaha organized something very special for me: I hiked with ranger Rebecca (such a great woman) for 2 1/2 hours in the Mburo National Park with the giraffes and zebras. Just beautiful.
I was very impressed with the choice of accommodation. In addition to the beautiful lodges, I also spent two nights in the lovely guest house of a project for women in the Bwinde region, Ride 4 woman. Here I was able to purchase beautiful, authentic handmade fabric Ugandan gifts for my family and friends at home. I was even able to visit the Batwa Pygmy Women and it gave me great pleasure.
For me as a woman traveling alone, Twaha's reserved nature and always forward planning was a very pleasant experience. He made sure I was well equipped and always made sure I had the best spot, whether on the boat trip or visiting the wonderful gorillas. Humor was never neglected on this trip.
I want to come back with friends and one thing is for sure, Wild Jungle Trails and Twaha will host our trip.

Unforgettable Adventure!
I’m a huge fun of nature and every time I travel I make sure that’s part of my itinerary. I’m so glad Wild Jungle trails had all I wanted. I did a 3-day Murchison falls safari and it exceeded my expectations. The package comes with the hike to the falls which was so magnificent. Another thing I loved was the fact that they offer many opportunities to view a variety of wildlife. I’ve gotta say this was such an awesome tour. Thank you @wildjungletrails!

5 days Gorilla and Chimpanzee Safari-Tour
For my second time I made a Safari in Uganda, the second time with Twaha and Wild Jungle Trails. And for sure I would even chose them next time!
Everything is well planed before and all your wishes are implemented.
We did Chimpanzee-Tracking in Kibale and Gorilla-Tracking in Bwindi. Inbetween we enjoyed Kraterlakes, a lot of monkeys, wonderful Lokal food and Lake Bunyonyi.
With a good guide like Twaha you get to know the wildlife, the culture and the country easily. He is a friendly, openminded, funny person with a big knowledge and lots of experiences.
Weebale nyo Twaha for making our Safari to a wonderful and unforgettable trip!

Some people have it naturaly, every body likes them even when they make little mistakes ,you forget about it because you envoy very much there company....It is the case of Twaha .We had such a WONDRFUL time with him.So much laught .Reading all those goods reviews I was wondering if he could keep up to it.So he did trying is best to see the most animals we could see,convencing his colleges to keep cherching for the big 5 even if they were ready to go back to the lodge. Try to get the best seats for us on the cruise . On the road he will makes sure to take us to nice restaurants so we wouldn't get sick from the food.
We were the first one to get to the leopards ,the lions , having time to spend some time taking pictures before the others jeeps arrived.We had chalanging him all the 15 days about his good score in the reviews and how much we should give him teasing him, never gots upset good sence of humour.He loves is country and enjoy to have you discorver it with him .Twaha is only 34 he owns is cie and he is a leader, all the others guides know him, beying so friendly, same thing with the staff of the lodges so it can be very helpful.My husband just love is vintage big Toyota land cruise ......
It was a pleasure to work with Teresa for our itinary ,she always anwered promtly to the numerous emails I sended her. The lodges that she suggested were just greats ( midrang safari)and they even were better that on the pictures which it is rarely the case.Thank-you to both you for this unforgetable trip. And Twaha you did it again a the perfect score another big 5 for the big 5 ...... keep it up .We will miss you.

Great safari - great guide!
The whole trip was amazing and our guide Oscar was top notch. He took us around the park spotting endless antelopes, giraffes and elephants. We saw a leopard and a lion and many hippos. The birds that we saw were beautiful as well. We saw three crested cranes. The highlight of the trip was the hike to Murchison Falls. We saw a rainbow burst out of the water as the sun rose. The whole trip was just amazing. We absolutely loved Oscar. He shared his knowledge of the various animals and history of the area. I highly recommend using this tour company.

Can't imagine traveling to Uganda with any other guide...Twaha is, hands down, THE BEST!!
This is my 7th consecutive year traveling to Uganda and using Twaha as a safari guide. Each year he manages to somehow make the experience even better than the last. I have now experienced Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls (at least 5 times), Quads on the Nile, boat rides to the falls, birding adventures, chimp trekking, Nile river rafting and the most AMAZING lodges! I don't even look at the itinerary anymore...I just let the Wild Jungle Trails team handle all the arrangements. Each year they pick the perfect places and set us up with the best guides at each adventure. I always receive the best customer service from start to finish.
If you are looking for a stress free, safe guide who knows all the ins and outs of Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya.....Wild Jungle Safaris should be your only option. I recommend getting input from their staff in regards to realistic travel times and accommodations to ensure your expectations are met and your trip is enjoyable! I can't imagine experiencing Africa with any other safari guide!
