Sander is a fantastic tour operator he will ensure you have a fabulous trip!!!
I have been emailing Sander and he has been creating an itinerary that fits our needs perfectly, his patience is incredible as I am kind of fussy about everything and he has not always answered my tons of emails and changes. I would without a question trust this company to provide you with a once in a lifetime trip, they are so knowledgeable and give great suggestions.

Beautiful and well organised adventure
Had a great trip with my children; well balanced, good guesthouses, excellent guides and good cars to do the roadtrips and game drives! An experience of a lifetime in a mesmerizing country...
Moses and David made it all possible, with their good connections and huge knowledge about country and wildlife. Especially the days wit David in Sipi Falls were exceptional: meeting local community and playing soccer in the yard :)

Uganda with Grassrootz straight to the #1 spot on our list of visited countries
Together with our drive Paul, we did a tour to Bwindi Impenetrable forrest to see the Forest Gorilla's and we went to Murchison Falls National Park. We had the time of our life, it was a beautiful and well organised trip. Paul knows everything about Uganda and about the animals that live in his country. He is a very good and easy-going driver, drives carefully and relaxed. He adapts to his guests and is very open about his life, and the lives of the Ugandan people. We have seen a lot of animals during our trip. Lions, Leppards, Crocodiles, Hippo's and some rare species like the soft-shell Nile Turtle. We will definitely return to Uganda and Grassrootz when our daughter is at an age that she can fully enjoy such a trip.

Great communication, organisation and excellent driver.
We did a short tour to the north of Uganda. Grassrootz tailored the trip to our needs. We managed to fit in both a trip to Kidepo and Sips falls both of which were great. The communication, tour description, price and the trip it self were all great. Highly recommended.

Useful and educational safari tour
The safari tour was good however I would have preffered to see more wildlife specifically big cats.

Enthusiastic guide and journey
Coming to Uganda for the first time, I had no idea what to expect, especially with a large group. From the moment we met our guide, he was very informative about the different areas we traveled through and eager to answer any questions we had. On the safari tour there were many opportunities to see different animals which I had never seen before. Our guide in the bus was also very educated about the lives of the animals, and we took many pictures along the way. This trip definitely lived up to my expectations, and I feel like I had a really authentic Uganda experience.

very educational and structured throughout the whole tour.
Overall, I really liked the whole experience. The instructors were very clear in their explanations and so made the tour very educational and interesting. Also the places we stayed at during the safari were very well chosen and made the trip even nicer than it already was.

Interesting, educational, eventful however there is always room for improvement.
The Safari itself was very nice, having spotted several different types of animals (including a leopard). This left with us seeing much of Uganda's natural environment, particularly also spending our time in an amazing campsite where animals would literally walk around our tent. However, we were there to help the rangers with keeping the park clean which was not organised or taken seriously, which was obviously a disappointment. However, everything else was planned nicely and I am overall very happy with our trip.

An unforgettable journey!
Personal contact, really listening to requirements, honoust advice, swift replies, clear communication, love for this beautiful country and its peopele and a wonderfull host at Jjaja Bbanga. That’s my experience with Sander and Grassrootz.
A 21day safari, by myself and with guide, covering Lake Mburo, Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth, Kibale, Murchisons, Kidepo (IK & Nakapelimoru), Sipi and as much as possible community based accomodation was the result based upon my requirements. The trip exceeded my expectations.
I was a bit worried about travelling for 21 days with a person never met before. On the first day this worry was taken away immediately. Paul is a real host. Driving safely, punctual, caring, know’s his way (and lots of people), loves to tell about the country, people and animals. Every evening during dinner the plan for the next day so well prepared. A very smooth trip.
All accomodations had its own charm or challenge but that’s what I wanted and liked. Some of them exceeded. Broadbill I really loved for its environment, good food and wonderfull care. Boomu’s womens group: Ednah is really an inspiring woman, a lady with a view and a clear missiom. Home of Friends, a beautiful new place with really great hosts and creating feeling of home by having dinner together and play games.
Gorilla and chimp trekking were extraordinary. To meet these animals face to face in their own habitat is so beautiful and special.
Kidepo in one word amazing and a must visit region. Guides Emma (to the IK) and Joseph (to the Nakapilemoru) made these visits extra special. Especially Joseph, sitting on sliding rock, overseeing the region and him telling the stories about the cattle raiding with the biggest smile I have ever seen. Felt like being part of the story.
I will reccomend Grassrootz warmly to everyone who want’s to experience the country and above all its beautiful people.
Thanks Sander & Paul for creating this wonderfull and unforgettable trip.
