Amazing post-wedding trip with friends & family!
Grassrootz helped us a lot to realize a trip of a lifetime! We had our wedding in Uganda, and Sander helped us to show our guests some of Uganda's highlights after the wedding. We travelled with a group of 23 people for 7 days, and visited Lake Mburo, Queen Elisabeth National Park, Kibale Forest and the crater lakes bij fort portal. We enjoyed it so much, we saw lots of animals, from zebra's through a lion in a tree, lots of hippo's, elephants, cimpansees... and enjoyed the great diversity of the Ugandan landscapes and national parks. Sander has been very flexible in accommodating different needs and budgets of individuals/sub-groups within our group, some alternative accommodation and activity options. He is also very quick to respond, and found us really good lodges! The lodges all had gorgeous views, good food, nice campfires, beautiful outdoor showers, luxury tents in the forest... The trip he put together for us was sharply priced, really good value. We had three vans with drivers and one car of our own, and all drivers were very friendly and professional, and made the trip do smoothly. Having travelled and lived in Uganda before, we knew how beautiful it was already, but this trip with so many friends & family was very special! We had an Amazing time!! A big thanks again to Sander for helping us make it happen!

An experience of a lifetime with the most amazing group of people
Full recognition needs to be given to Sander and his team for organizing a 1 week adventure around Uganda for a group of over 20 people!! The entire week was organised perfectly and his team had such alot of patience to deal with 20 people and their individual needs. All lodges were great, vans in perfect condition and guides were very knowledgable about all things Ugandan.
Many thanks to Sander, Moses, Abdu and Mathia!

The Unexplored Eastern Uganda
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip, and would certainly recommend it again. Part of it that was so nice was how personal it was. My father and I were the only ones on the tour, we had a personal driver, a personal guide at Kidepo, Kotido and Moroto. Seeing a part of Uganda that most people don't, and really couldn't up until about 5 years ago was fun. It was peaceful, beautiful, and I feel like they really try and personalize it. They have a route that we took, but seemed pretty flexible about how long we wanted to be in any one place. It was also a nice variety. I've been on safaris before where it's just game drives everyday for a week, and that's too much. This was a nice mix of wildlife, culture, and outdoors activities.
Two other things to be aware of (not criticisms, by the way, just so that you know what you're getting into). This is not a fast paced tour. You typically have an activity in the morning, and then travel in the afternoon. I enjoyed this, it wasn't rushed, but if you need every hour of everyday to be filled, this may not be the tour for you. Also, It does take some time to get places in Uganda, especially the eastern part of the country. So if you want to see it, be prepared to drive hours everyday. As I said, this didn't detract at all from the trip for me, but some may not want to be in the car as long.
Overall, I loved it, and I think Grassrootz did an excellent job. I'm actually going to be asking them for details about what tours they offer in the Southwest part of the country soon. Thanks for an amazing journey!

An excellent Safari with Grassrootz
My friend and I did a 3 day tour with Grassrootz to Murchinson Park in Uganda. They provided an excellent service at a very agreeable price. Our guide Paul was knowledgeable and really looked after us. I would thoroughly recommend Grassrootz for an enjoyable and safe trip.

Amazing guide in beautiful Uganda
We had a great experience with the group and the guide at Murchison falls. The guide was really enthousiastic and because of that we enjoyed it. The daily program was various, first with the car, later with the boat and after that we hiked to the top of the Murchison falls. The nature and animals we saw were very beautiful. We will never forget it. Thanks for this amazing and unforgettable experience.

We had an amazing time!
For me it was the first time Uganda, and it was a great time, partly because of the amazing safari. We had a great guide, George, he was friendly and helpful, we enjoyed our time with him. George was a good driver, showed us special things, took time as necessary. It was beautiful and special!
