Fabulous views on Kidepo National Park
From the moment our driver (David) picked us up in Kampala it felt good. He explained a lot, about the country, the places we passed by, the people and the park we were going to visit. We could ask anything and about every subject he could tell something. When we entered the park it was really amazing. What a beautiful place to go to. The wide nature surrounded with mountains was magnificent. We saw animals in their natural habitat and visited the hot springs, close to the border with South Sudan. The ranger that joined us also explained a lot about the park. The second day we visited a Karamodja village. Without feeling a tourist, they led us through the village and explained things about the way of living of the people in Kidepo. We danced with them, played with the kids and again had some amazing views. On the way back to Kampala we bought different kinds of fruit to enjoy at home. After dropping us of safely in Kampala we really agreed that it was a perfect trip.

We had an amazing time on the safari.
I booked car hire with a driver. I emailed with Sander about the possibilities for the trip and he advised me very well. Our driver on the trip was Paul. I told Paul I wanted cheap accommodation and he looked for that for us. He knows his way arround Uganda. And he could tell us a lot about the areas and animals.

Excellent trip: well organized and the best guide
We had a great time on our holiday organized by Grassrootz Adventures in Uganda and Rwanda. All communication prior to departure was done through Sander who was very flexible in adjusting our travel plan to our liking. Also, we want to recommend our driver, David, was very caring and knowledgeable - we often knew more than the guides during our local visits. We highly recommend this Grassrootz Adventures if you want to have a fun and well organized trip for a good price.

Grassrootz listened carefully to all our wishes and organized a wonderful trip to Western Uganda
Your trip to Uganda already starts with a good laughter when meeting director Sander van Zanten! He listens carefully and asks the right questions with a good sense of humor. As we wanted to start our trip in Rwanda, Sander offered several ideas what to do and where. We could add additional activities to the suggested programme easily. All you need to know about visa requirements, health certificates, you can ask him and you get the answer in due time.
We had a perfect match with our guide and chauffeur David Otto. Being a family travelling with three young adults (age between 18 and 21), David understands perfectly what the trip makes interesting and a pleasant journey for them. We enjoyed the splendid wildlife in Western Uganda thanks to Davids knowledge and enthousiasm for mother natures beautifull creations. Be prepared to raise early (5.30 am), you are rewarded with a unique experience. A big plus: we had good conversations about serious things in life as well. David is a perfect driver, small problems with our car were solved practically. Combining nature, adventure and a good grasp of culture is what you get! With Grassrootz you stay at community accommodations which we appreciated so much. We wanted to experience how ordinary Ugandans live in their villages and grow their crops in the fields. This expectation was 100 percent fulfilled.
Enjoying Kampala, music and city life was a good completion of our three week trip. Enjoy your day, every day! Grassrootz Uganda helps you make it possible.

Great trip, great places, great people!
The service is great and very fast, you can easily arrange a tour and the communication was very clear. The guide/driver was very relieable and fun to be with. He adjusted the program to our expectations and wishes. Couldn't be a better trip!

A perfect and tailormade trip around Uganda!
We asked Sander from Grassrootz to plan a trip that would show us the best of Uganda, and give us the opportunity to get an idea of how the Ugandans live. He succeeded perfectly!
What a fantastic way to visit this beautiful country and its people. We stayed in different kinds of hotels and guesthouses, many of which are part of community projects that support schools or help villages in other ways. That way we got a little closer to the people and also had a great stay at every stop we made.
We had a very professional driver / guide (Paul), who knew everything there was to know about the country and about the national parks, and who made us feel relaxed and at home all the time. We saw beautiful villages, landscapes and people, and in the parks we saw elephants, zebras, antilopes, lions, a leopard, giraffs, crocs, hippos, vultures having a meal ... You name it, we saw it. Thanks to Paul's keen and expereanced eye. The trip was well balanced, flexible and relaxed.
We recommend Grassrootz very warmly!
