Breathtaking moments with excellent guidance
It was a pleasure to work with the Grassrootz Adventures people. The part in the Netherlands and the guidiance in Uganda were very enjoyable. Good information and collaboration, professional! Always willing to do something extra with a flexible attitude. My expectations have been exceeded!!
I recommend Grassrootz definitely, they are having good programs with good people!

Amazing!!
We had an amazing trip with a group of 8 people. Our tourguide was really nice and we had a lot of fun together. The accomodation was good and cosy. In the evening there was a big campfire, which we enjoyed. During the gamedrives we saw a lot of animals. The driver drove quietly, so we could take beautiful pictures.
The mailcontact was really good. Grassrootz responded quick and gave me the right information.
Thanks for the amazing experience!!

Good organized, well communicated and friendly welcomed!!
it started all with the mail from Sander, grassrootzuganda.com, after I send a request at safaribookings.
Already the planing for the trip was very uncomplicated and flexible. 2 weeks before we started, the number of the group was not fixed. Also with the exact date Sander helped us a lot.
We've been picked at our hotel, the driver called a day before. The trip up to Kidepo is quit long, but the driver was good and he tried to make it comfortable as possible for us.
The commandatio, buffalo base, is not greatest I've ever seen, but for that great price good and clean. We had warm shower, power for the phones in the evening and a nice place outside to relax.
One of the bist thing there, the cook! we got really great breakfast and supper!! lunch was is the park, was ok, but buffalo base was really good.
The result of the whole group was great, every one want to do it again, if time and every other stuff allow it;)

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!

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.

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.

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 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!
