Tour guide, Ismail, made our trip!
I personally did not arrange this safari but someone in my group who had previously been did. She said they were incredibly accommodating in making a personalized package. We had such a wonderful time and the facilities where we stayed were wonderful. They were clean, had excellent food, service and all the amenities needed. Ismail was an incredible tour guide and we were all extremely impressed at his knowledge of the land, agriculture, history, language, culture and of course animals. He made it his personal mission to make sure we saw and did what we wanted to. Would recommend 100%.

Green World provided the trip of a lifetime!
Our experience with Green World was phenomenal from start to finish. Betty worked hard to help us to plan the perfect itinerary allowing us to see many of the major parks in Uganda. Our guide, George, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and organized and he took care of every detail. Our tour was everything we wanted and more - the lodges, food, activities and guide did not disappoint! If you're looking for an exciting African adventure where you feel safe, welcomed and well taken care of, look no further than Green World!

Friendly, experienced guide and pretty well organized trip all in all.
I have some recommendations to help improve future guided tours.
First, avoiding Kampala as much as possible is what all of us agreed on. It is not fun to drive through. The Cassia Lodge there had beautiful views but was my least favorite of the places we stayed. Staying in Entebbe seems better, as it was much more pleasant.
The salt extraction tour should be removed from future tours, I can't see any tourist interested in that, plus it was pretty gross.
Green World had great communications before the trip. They answered all our questions. Communication during trip sometimes needed to be stronger, giving us concrete times to be places with precise instructions. It was really close to being perfect, but there were at times frustration from people thinking they heard different times and what to do at those times. Perhaps writing in on a small tablet with dry erase pens each day, as it's sometimes hard to hear at lodges?
Tips for all guides on ALL excursions (boat trips, ranger led trips, Botwa tribe tour, etc etc) should just be included in the price of the tour. We REALLY REALLY hated having to figure out by surprise that there were more people to tip along the trip and to bring all that cash and figure out tips each day. THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATION for Green World, just add a few hundred dollars to your price and your guides cover all tips for hotel staff, guides, rangers, schools visited, etc etc. We did not like that every person we met we just felt like it was a money grab. We actually got really sick of this- we visit a school, they want money. We visit the Botwas, they several times/places ask for money. IT WAS ENDLESS! Please consider this, as it diminished our trip.
Really besides the tipping, everything else was minor and our trip was thoroughly enjoyable. We went to see the animals, and we saw tons! Thanks to Betty, Moses and George- we loved them all!

Once in a lifetime!
I took an amazing safari with Green World. Prior to my safari I had done a medical aid mission and Green World was highly recommended by experienced mission members who had taken tours. I was a little nervous about traveling by myself so I picked a shorter tour mostly to see the gorillas but really wish I’d also done the Chimp trek as well. You can also stay in Bwindi am extra day or two and see the other hikes they have. Those hikes also sounded incredible. Seeing the gorillas was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. You are so close and it is so exciting.
Betty, the owner of the company, was very reassuring, nice responsive to my questions, and flexible with options. My hotel in Bwindi was very beautiful and comfortable. My guide was so knowledgeable and nice. I felt at ease with him and he was a very safe driver. He knew all about the communities and the wildlife. He was nice to talk to on the drive and willing to stop anytime for pictures. Can’t recommend the company more!!!!

Green World Safaris is by far the most reliable agency I have worked with in Uganda.
Betty Dhumba of Green World Safaris is a true professional who goes out of her way to make sure your visit is a total success. She communicates with you extensively prior to your trip to make sure that all your travel needs are addressed, and then every day while on safari she checks with your driver to make sure that your trip is running smoothly. She gives thought to the type of driver she feels is best suited for your safari, and I was surprised one morning to learn that the morning my safari was to begin she had arrived at work early in order to personally check that my vehicle's AC was working. If you are in need of a reliable service run by a manager who really cares about the success of your trip, I cannot recommend Green World Safaris highly enough.

Amazing family adventure
We had an amazing family trip to Uganda in the summer of 2009. Betty and her staff went over and above to ensure we had the experiences we wanted.
From the accommodations to our incredible guide, Matthew, everything was taken care efficiently and positively.
You will have a great travel adventure if you hire Green Word Safari!

Gorilla Mountain Trekking and Visiting Other Ugandan Sights
Green World offered excellent communication and personnel. The guides were knowledgeable and able to share information about the country, culture and wildlife. They were interested in making the trip a great experience and tried to accommodate the needs of the group to the best of their ability. The lodges were very nice and better than anticipated. I would highly recommend this company for a well-rounded trip to the beautiful country (people and scenery) of Uganda. Thank you Betty, Moses, Godfrey and John!
