Amazing Gorilla safari to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in Uganda
Me and my friend had an exciting Uganda Gorilla tour with Realm Africa Safaris. Mac was very swift in responding to our emails which made it easy for us to plan our holiday, the hotels he took us to stay were nice and clean, we also felt safe as he was always there at all times. Our Gorilla trekking day was the best. I recommend Realm Africa Safaris to whoever wants to go Gorilla trekking in Bwindi forest.

So amazing, I went back for seconds
There are many things I've loved about travelling with Realm Africa Safaris, but the things that stand out to me the most include;
- the local guides, level of knowledge about the countries of East Africa, and them best tailoring tours to suit your needs accordingly. They love what they do so their drive to ensure you have the best time is of the highest priority of them
- the different star levels of accommodation offerred again to suit your needs and best locations
- wildlife knowledge and tracking
- all tours offer amazing cultural and wildlife experiences.
I also still found it very easy to communicate and pay for tours. It's all done safetly through one main channel and you know who you are dealing with directly.
I have become a very big advocate for Marcy and his company. When travelling to East Africa, there's noone else I'd rather tour with.

Well run, safe and an amazing experience.
Marc is an excellent operator. His organisation skills are excellent and he is an excellent communicator. All aspects of our tour was very well organised. Regarding safaris, Marc exhibited a unique ability to seek out a vast rang of wildlife. All accomodation was very comfortable.

Uganda at its best
Great experience in Uganda, great tour planning and an extraordinary guide - knowledge and personality!
Uganda with realm built a lifetime memory
Email Davo | 50-65 years of age | Experience level: 2-5 safaris
The Uganda we experienced was a taste of a real Africa we didn't have to share with usual crowds.
Marc gave us his full attention from our first communication. Emails received fast and full replies.
We were met at the airport by a Realm representative and whisked to the beautiful Karibu guest house which we were later informed was once Idi Amin's residence.
Rafting the Nile at Jinja is an adrenaline rush like no other.
Marc talked us into staying in a village outside Murchison Falls. Here we came up close to African villge life.
Ugandan wildlife is wond erful and varied. Elephant, giraffe and smaller animals can be seen from one spot and we were usually the only humans in sight!
The mighty mountain gorillas are worth every step of the hike thru impenetrable jungle.
Through it all Marc was there for us, organising any variation we asked for and welcoming us after each adventure.
Accommodation was sometimes a bit more basic than we envisaged. Perhaps we should have been more specific on our needs.
Overall the trip was just fantastic!

My experience was awesomely packed with adventure, fun, amazing wildlife and culture
Overall, the trip exceeded my expectations in many ways. The tour, the service and communications allowed for an awesome experience overall. The tour group was also small which was great.
Some room for improvement in :
- confirming optional activities and officially adding them into the final itinerary
- having other methods of payment for tour
- making sure an official and most updated itinerary is sent out prior to first deposit. That way travelers know exactly what they will be doing each day and it includes the optional activities the traveler wishes to participate in, like the Batwa experience.
- giving advice to travelers about types of currency needed in certain areas and where it is best to withdraw money.
- would also rule out going to Bushara island. Didn't really gain anything from being there.
- something else needs to happen at the boomu women's group. Getting travelers to participate in local community activities would give them a great insight to what life is like for a local family.

Great Time in Uganda with Realm Africa Safaris
Very professional service, rapid response to my requests prior to my trip. The guide was at the airport at the expected time, very friendly and professional. He was great at spotting animals, knowledgeable about his country, and good company.
The company knew what was going on on the ground (i.e. that the ferry at Murchinson Fall was being serviced during my trip) and kept in regular contact with the guide.
An overall very pleasant experience and I can highly recommend Realm Africa Safaris.
