Wonderfull experience.
Our daughter lives in Kampala and that prompted me to make a wish of mine. It seemed very much in the context of the father-son relationship once to make an adventurous journey. The choice of destination was so easily made.
We are almost three week been in Uganda, and spent the weekend with our daughter, she has these days largely filled our program.
Through Grassrootz we have two midweek filled with the first week a trip to Murchison Falls National Park. The second week we went to lake Bunyonyi and the Gorrilla,s
Our driver / tour guide George Lingo picked us up in Kampala before leaving for Murchison falls. He is a very experienced driver and a very pleasant person to deal with. He has told us much of what we have seen on the road.
The accommodation for overnight in the park (Red Chilli rest camp) was a perfect location on a beautiful place.
From there we did a safari in the beautiful park with a lot of animals. George had arranged that a ranger came along with us. This was sure to bring a plus because they told a lot about the game but also knew us to the most beautiful places. We have seen all the common animals, sometimes just a few meters away.
We also made a boat trip on the Nile (from the water you see so many animals and birds!). We were dropped off by boat at the foot of the waterfall and from there to the top on foot climbed to where the water starts to fall. Very recommended. We're up here picked up by George.
Photo Moments to remember, lots of wild birds, nature, water, sunrise and sunset, but also very nice friendly people.
The second midweek , George brought us to Lake Bunyonyi. On the way we saw a lot. Also made a digression into a nature to see Zebras etc. We have had a number of nights here on a development project run by a Dutchman. (Amasiko.org). A great place right on the most beautiful lake in the world ( "The most beautiful lake in the World" (BBC Focus on Africa). Here you can safely swim and enjoy the otters.
From here we went to the rainforest to visit the mountain gorillas. This takes a bit but then you have something and you support the conservation of the species. There are also a lot of local people involved and financially dependent.
Before we went back to Kampala we Spent a night in a busch logde directly adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth park. Amidst the wild in a tent. What an experience.
From here made a chimpanzee track and then back to Kampala.
All pre-planned and agreed customized by mail. Very smooth and enjoyable contact Sander van Zanten of Grassrootz.
Next year I go with my wife again and Will book a trip through Grassrootz.

Uganda a MUST-SEE travel destination specially with Grassrootz Adventure!!
Grassrootz Adventure is a great organization for an unforgettable safari!
It was the second time we booked a safari with Grassrootz Adventure, because the first time we had a really good experience with them.
We planned the trip by our selves and the guide gave us good advice for campings, hotels, restaurants and amazing places where we never go by ourselves.
One night we slept in the middle of the jungle by the river between Congo and Uganda.
We heard a lot of sounds from wild animals like elephants,lions and hippo's, very exciting!!
Both times we had a reliable driver and a very experienced guide, we saw a lot of wildlife even some climbing tree lions.
We had close contact with the local people and we visited the Karamoja and other projects.
So if you want a great safari and if you want to see the culture of Uganda, Grassrootz Adventure is the best choice!!

Had an amazing time
I had an amazing time on the 3-day safari to Murchison Falls. Everything was very well organized and the guides were very kind. The accommodations were not very luxurious, but the basics (cold shower, toilet, electricity, mosquito nets, etc.) were there.

Legendary Adventure!
Grassrootz Adventures provided the most epic trip I ever had with their unique combination of wilderness and culture! We slept in between hunting lions in a tent! Their drivers are the best and are perfect to get more information about the land and areas. Their service is great and give you exactly what you can only dream of! If you are looking for the best views, the most legendary experience and best interaction with the people you should always travel with Grassrootz Adventures!

Very knowledgeable guides/drivers. Professional
Grassrootz Adventures is good at listening to our wishes and able to translate these wishes into a realistic adventurous itinerary. They are very friendly and even during the tour flexible regarding our demands. They are able to offer activities which I did not find by other tour companies. We learned a lot about the country, the people and the animals. A life time experience.

An excellent and unique experience in Uganda.
The period prior to the actual trip was already pleasant. The (email) communication was personal and quick, we had enough room to express our wishes. The tour itself was wonderful. Our driver/guide George was a knowledgeable and very friendly man. We felt safe and learned a lot about this marvelous country and its inhabitants.
