Grazzrootz is knowledgeable, flexible and delivers
Uganda is not a cheap destination. You get a lot of value for your money though!
Grassrootz listens to what you are looking for, and provides you with a custom trip that matches this exactly. Sander is easy to talk to, responds quickly to all of your questions and gives great advice on the itinerary. He takes away all of the stress of organising a trip!
We went on a three week tour with David. He was very knowledgeable (the country, the parks, the animals, the hotels, the road and even politics!). David is friendly, polite and has great sense of humour. He's an excellent spotter as well! During the trip David helped to arrange the things we were looking for, such as a specific ranger that was good with birds, or to try some local food.
Most of the hotels were as we expected, with just a few feeling a bit dated (but we did confirm these accommodations when we booked).
Highly recommended.

Fantastic arrangement, knowledgeable tour guide, definitely recommend!
It was our first safari in Uganda, our first long safari (two weeks) and all went smooth, everything was very well arranged, although we spend many hours on the road we were on time for all planned activities, all lodges proposed by the agency during initial planning turns to be fantastic with fantastic views and friendly staff. The tour guide were knowledgeable and trustworthy, helpful with all kind different requests from our side(from arranging local SIM card to taking us to best local restaurantes and buying street art).
Definitely will use the company again!

Well organised and reliable
It was a great experience to travel in Uganda with Grassrootz Adventures Uganda. The tour was very well organised by Sander van Zanten and our guide/ driver Bob Magezi was great. For me and my family was our tour in Uganda a lifetime memory. I recommend this organisation!

Perfect Uganda safari!
We just returned from a wonderful 14 days safari to Uganda with Grassrootz Adventures. We enjoyed a perfectly planned itinerary covering most of Uganda’s national parks including chimp and gorilla treckings in Kibale Forest and Bwindi. We were impressed by magnificent landscapes, welcoming people, and exciting wildlife. We enjoyed wonderful lodges and safari camps carefully selected by the tour operator, and we appreciated Bob’s competence as a safari guide, his great knowledge as well as his friendly and considerate attitude. We could not have asked for a better guide (or tour company). We will definitively be back for another safari with Grassrootz Adventures to the Pearl of Africa.

TOP holiday!
Uganda, it was clear to me that I would go there one day. I am single and sometimes go with a group tour. But the way I wanted it was not offered. So looking for other options. That's how I ended up at Grassrootz. Your wishes are processed in a good program. And we think along with you about what other nice additions could be.
We also look at which driver/guide suits you. I've been out with Emmy. A bull's eye for me. He has a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm about his country and its inhabitants - humans and animals.
Nature and the weather were kind to me during my trip. Got to spot many animals and brought home wonderful memories.
Add the 3 points above together and you have a TOP holiday!!
Sander and Emmy thanks for everything.

Exceptional
We originally booked this safari before Covid. Grassrootz were extremely helpful and understanding in rearranging our trip.
Once on the trip our guide Moses was wonderful both me and my husband enjoyed every minute of it. The lodges were great. The food was delicious but far too much. Overall we’ve had a brilliant time and the trip was everything we hoped for.

What an adventure with Grassrootz Adventures!
With Grassrootz we went on our 22-day-safari in Uganda. It totally met my expectations, well no, it exceeded! Sander was very patient and helpful with preparing the tour with me during Covid times. From the first contact and itinerary I felt good with it. Now we are back and I am truly glad and thankful for this trip and how everything went. From our first contact with our driver and guide Paul we felt good in Uganda. The accommodations were awesome, all of them. we felt highly welcomed everywhere, people are so friendly, we enjoyed it so much and everyone had a part that we felt secure and comfortable.
We had a few days up at Kidepo, which was a blast for animals, landscape and magic - and is highly recommended. Grassrootz offer you many community camps. you can change everything at the safari like you wish, „ultimate flexibilty“ like Paul were used to say!

Excellent Trip!
Great tour from start to finish!! Interested in an Ugandan Safari including Chimpanzee and Gorilla treking, I reached out to many companies. Sander was one of the first to reply and he put together a comprehensive package that was very detailed and easy to follow. After a few messages I booked a two week fully guided trip.
Sander set me up with David Otto who was an excellent guide. David has been a guide for some time, he is easy to talk to and has extensive knowledge about Uganda. David has great contacts throughout the country to make sure you get that little bit extra from each experience have a great trip.
The accommodations and service provided at the lodges organized was top notch, I could not have asked for more. The food was fantastic. If you are planning a trip to Uganda this is the company to go with!!

Flexible with great service!
Had a fantastic trip with super good service!
Almost 2 years before the actual departure date, the first plans were made with Sander. Due to Covid, the plans have been postponed a number of times, which was never made difficult. Not even when the departure date was approaching, but the infections were rising rapidly. Even then we were able to decide last minute whether or not to go. Finally decided to go and never regretted it. You can make agreements with the guide about how to deal with, for example, wearing a face mask and this is respected. In the end (due to circumstances other than Covid) the trip had to be canceled early, but this was no problem at all and everything could be arranged. When our guide, Moses, was told that we were going home earlier, he did everything he could to get the most out of our trip.
All in all a very good experience with Grassrootz. They completely unburden you and do everything they can to give you an unforgettable holiday.
