Safari Bigfive Chimpanzees Gorilla
I had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable trip to Uganda with an outstanding tour operator. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Each safari was an absolute dream, and I was fortunate enough to see a wide variety of animals, including all of the Big Five.
I would especially like to highlight our guide, Eddy. He was simply amazing! Eddy provided us with incredible insights not only about the animals but also about the country, its culture, and society. His knowledge and passion made the trip an unforgettable experience.
The chimpanzee and gorilla trekking were simply incredible and beyond words. I will never forget these unique encounters in the wild.
The accommodations we booked were all excellent. The staff were always friendly and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.
I can only highly recommend this tour operator – it was the trip of a lifetime!

Traveling to Uganda with Grassrootz Adventure was an extraordinary, well-organized and unforgettable
I had the pleasure of traveling to Uganda this July with Grassrootz Adventures, and it was an extraordinary experience. The communication with the agency was excellent from the beginning, with prompt and detailed responses to all inquiries.
The service provided was impeccable. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate, and the entire staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. The trip offered excellent value for money, with high-quality accommodations, meals, and exclusive experiences that were well worth the cost. The tour was highly reliable, with everything running smoothly and any minor issues swiftly handled.
Uganda's beauty was showcased perfectly, from gorilla trekking in Bwindi to exploring Queen Elizabeth National Park and experiencing the local culture.
Overall, traveling to Uganda with Grassrootz Adventures was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Uganda.

Customer-focussed, well organised and providing good value for money
What started with a gorilla and chimp trekking holiday, was expanded to a fun-packed 18-day trip (thanks to Sander's personal involvement), which delivered all the way through. We were very impressed with our accommodation throughout, both in terms of quality and cleanliness, but also the locations. Visiting the primates was absolutely fantastic, of course, but we also enjoyed the game drives in particular in Murchison and Mburo NP, and the Carnivore-project led game drive to see the lions in QENP. Barnice was our driver guide, who safely navigated us around the country and helped to add relevant excursions as we went along. Grassrootz is definitely customer focussed, which was perfectly demonstrated by both Barnice and Sander who helped us overcome some difficulty we had after the holiday had ended. Thanks again. If you want to go to Uganda, make sure you go with Grassrootz!

100% recommend
Had a fantastic 15-day trip through Uganda, which was perfectly organized by Sander and with a very pleasant guide Bob. After some research we ended up at Sander's company Grassrootz and we were very enthusiastic from the very first moment. Because Sander lived in Uganda and works with local partners, he has all the expertise to put together a great trip and he is also very accessible by telephone. Together we have been able to put together a program that fulfilled all our wishes. Everything was arranged down to the last detail with beautiful lodges, good food, pleasant guide, you name it. It was also communicated everywhere that it was our honeymoon, so in several places we were surprised with a nice surprise. Our guide Bob was especially good at what you look for in a guide, reliable in traffic, friendly, many connections and continuously concerned with whether our interests were being prioritized. All in all, a beautiful country to visit with a variety of nature, animals and culture, and we can 100% recommend this company to anyone who would like to make an impressive trip through Uganda in a safe and comfortable way!

Excellent trip! would highly recommend Grassrootz! 3 Day Gorilla Trek Uganda
Absolutely amazing experience! we did 3 day gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. the booking process was really easy and straightforward I reached out to Sander via WhatsApp then paid and deposit then paid then outstanding balance a few weeks later via international bank transfer. once we arrived in Uganda - Entebbe we were picked up by Moses and driven to Bwindi which takes around 11 hrs the roads are really dusty so be prepared the route is scenic so you won't get bored! mosses stops as many times as you like for toilet and coffee breaks etc! once we got to Bwindi we got a free upgrade in the lodge we were staying in!!! BONUS!! perfect the place was amazing right on the edge of the forest with amazing views! Moses was such a lovely guy extremely attentive and knowledgeable we could not have wished for a nicer guide! sop THANK YOU MOSES you're amazing!!! now to the gorilla trek! it was amazing !!! everything we had wished for!!! one the trip was complete was staying another night then drove back the next day to Entebbe, if your thinking of booking an excursion with Grassrootz DO IT!!! you won't be disappointed Uganda is such a beautiful country!! we will deffo be back!!! THNAK YOU GRASSROOTZ!!!!

Emmy was very adept at doing what ever it takes for us to have the best experience.
Our tour was packed full of adventure. There was always something amazing to see. The accommodations were clean and the service was exceptional. All the guides were so educated on the animals and locations, as well as eggar to answer any questions. Grassrootz Adventures tour package took care of all our needs, we only paid for gratuity. Sander Van Zanten arranged our entire package to suit our needs and Emmy our driver would stop at nothing to be sure we were well taken care of.
I have recommended Grassrootz Adventure to all my friends.

Experience of a lifetime in Uganda!
Our family chose the 12 day trip to Uganda and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. Our guide, Paul, was extremely knowledgeable about all of the wildlife we encountered as well as about the country of Uganda. We learned so much! Fortunately we were able to see every animal possible including elephants, giraffes, zebras, leopards, hyenas, hippos, cape buffalo, crocodiles, chimpanzees, gorillas, various species of monkeys, antelopes, water bucks, a green mamba and more! We saw the rhinos in their sanctuary. We were so lucky to see all of the animals very close by. We did bring a camera with a zoom lens and binoculars which we used at the first sight of the animals, but ended up not needing either as we would end up very close to them. We opted to go on the gorilla trekking experience which was more physically demanding than we anticipated but well worth it. We came across three gorilla families and saw several silverbacks and also a baby gorilla. The weather was nice, not too hot, for the most part and three of the lodges we chose had beautiful pools. Of all of the great places we stayed, Turaco Treetops was our favorite. It was very modern and located in a beautiful setting. There were quite long drives between national parks although we got to witness the daily lives of the people of Uganda. It was a trip of a lifetime we will never forget! ❤️

An excellent grassrootz adventure in Uganda for our family
Grassrootz organized the holiday of a lifetime for us
It starts at the basis: everything was well arranged. Never any ambiguities, no nasty surprises. all information was correct. And still we were flexible during the trip to make changes along the way, as our wishes continued to develop.
And it was really grassrootz too; much 'close to the people' and no tourist traps.
Excellent driver/guide/fixer Bob who knew the right places everywhere and managed to spot all the wildlife (lions, leopards, elephants, hyenas, hippos etc.) for us, and was often faster than the rangers in the park. He was also able to explain a lot about the country, the Ugandese culture and it's nature.
Because of this, we were able to let go of everything and thoroughly enjoy the trip to Uganda with our family (2 adults, 3 teenagers), we
would book through Grassrootz again in a heartbeat.
