A truly magical few weeks brought to life by an exceptional guide with an extraordinary knowledge
The time we spent in Uganda with Paul was truly some of the best we have encountered in our extensive travels of the world. From the initial planning stages to the last day of the trip, nothing was too much trouble. Paul listened to what we wanted, understood and found it. During the trip he demonstrated an incredible level of knowledge of the land, its people and its flora and forna, constantly adapting our trip seamlessly in the face of the unpredictable nature of this beautiful country. Truly an exceptional experience, we would never travel again to East Africa with anyone else.

This was an incredible experience from start to finish -- all 10 days were packed full of adventure!
Paul Tamwenya was our guide, and Paul was instrumental in making this an adventure of a lifetime! Our family of 10 persons (4 adults and 6 children) spent 10 days touring Uganda -- and we all loved every day and every activity organized by Paul. The accommodations were safe and clean with delicious food, the vehicle was excellent, and Paul brought us to the best possible places in Uganda for sightseeing! This included an exciting day with mountain gorillas and a separate visit to chimpanzees in a state park. We loved Uganda and we are grateful to Paul for making this an incredible holiday that we will always remember!

Awesome
Paul guided my daughter Christina and I on a 10 day adventure in Uganda which included climbing to see the gorillas. We experienced a trip of a lifetime. Paul took us to see and do things that the average traveller does not get to see and do. He is professional, fun, considerate, great problem solver and even waved his magic wand to make a black mamba appear so I could take pictures for our grandson. Enjoy your trip with Jungle Safaris. You will have a great adventure.

Comprehensive knowledge of and access to Uganda's cultural, historical and wildlife treasures.
Jungle safaris knows Uganda inside and out. Their tailor-made trip for me delivered what was promised and more. From the well known national parks to the off-the-beaten path villages; from north to south and east to west; from the mountains to the cities, they had no trouble taking me to the places I wanted to visit and arranging accommodations and meals to fit my requests. Competent and friendly driver and guide made my journey very memorable. And they showed great sensitivity to their very diverse clientele's backgrounds (language, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, beliefs, etc.)
Perfect Ugandan Adventure
We were two families of 10 people who used Jungle Safaris to tour Uganda. We had a fantastic adventure with a variety of experiences. We went to several national parks and saw animals including zebras, elephants, chimpanzees and mountain gorillas. The tour was professionally handled, and our tour guide was knowledgeable, accommodating and a pleasure to get to know. I would recommend Jungle Safaris to anyone who wants to experience all the beauty that Uganda has to offer.

An incredible experience on an expertly arranged itinerary.
As bird and animal lovers (and photographers of such creatures), my wife and I had the trip of a lifetime. The two of us enjoyed every moment of our week-and-a-half journey; and all accommodations and table fare more than met our needs. The highest of accolades must be paid our driver-guide, Paul Tamwenya. His expertise (and extremely good eye) provided us the viewing opportunities we had hoped for. My Nikon and I were quite busy the entire trip. Excellent bird photos, and adding to those were the Chimpanzees and Gorillas - just a fantastic journey on the savannahs and in the jungles of Africa. Loved it.

Knowledgeable guide and great tour.
I did the same tour twice with family and booked it a third time for a group of friends from overseas. Paul was very knowledgeable and his tour was excellent. We saw what we wanted to see, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, and it was great value for money. I would book others tours through this company again. Thank you for a great experience!

Paul Tamwenya arranged a fantastic trip for us with fantastic birds and gorillas as promised.
My trip with Paul was actually organised through an earlier company that he operated but he did all the work, planning and delivery of the end product. This review is as much about the man, Paul Tamwenya rather than the company. He delivered what was promised, was a reliable operator and the financial side was all seamless and uncomplicated.
His vehicle was clean, reliable and comfortable. His abilities as a bird guide were excellent and more than satisfied our demands. We were an eclectic group consisting of myself (56yo), wife and mother-in-law (80yo). Paul managed the dynamics very well and we had very few problems indeed. We saw everything we wanted to and our interests were quite varied rather than being solely birds.
Our 15 days safari was very much off the template and the outcome was more than satisfactory. I have no hesitation in recommending Paul's services to anyone looking for a reliable, honest and capable bird guide for Uganda in particular but I am sure he is more than capable of operating in other parts of East and Central Africa.
I am planning a return to Uganda in the near future and it is my intention to try and use Paul again.

the best safari ever done
The safari company was amazing and specially Paul who drive us in such nice spots to see incredible animals, like the lions on the trees, lions attacking zebras, leopards, cheetah in the wild, so beautiful and fantastic days in Uganda and the most interesting was our trip walk to see the gorillas in Bwindi Forest... an amazing experience that we will never forget... after a walk in the primary forest mountains, it was so impressive to see the gorillas family in their environnement and it was a great moment in connexion with them...
