Excellent Tour Guiding with professionalism.
I had such an awesome experience with my friend for our trip to Uganda. George our tour guide had so much vast knowledge about animals and places. I had so much fears prior to travelling from Canada to Uganda but upon meeting with Love Uganda Safaris team, I immediately felt at peace. They made feel at home and such immense respect and looking out for ways to make my budget friendly trip even better.
I would definetly recommend Love Uganda Safaris to anyone travelling to Uganda for a trip.
Thanks.

A great safari beyond my expectations
Everything was excellent about my experience with Love Uganda Safaris. Response time for booking my safari was very fast with several quotes to choose from. Our tour guide picked us up on time and made sure that we had everything we needed. He literally took care of everything. He did a fantastic job taking us out to look for game and went out of his way to find lions for us to see. The accommodations we stayed at was very nice and the food was excellent. We had a fantastic time on our safari and would definitely book with them again.

50th Birthday Celebration
Love Uganda Safaris gave us a very enjoyable trip. It was a slow start but things went very well. They were very courteous, helpful and accommodating. Our guides juggled our schedule as needed and made sure we were still able to see the things we had planned. Overall very good service.
One suggestion new seats in the jeep. When traveling the distance we did they could be a bit better.

Wonderful Brithday Trip
We had a fantastic time with Love Uganda Safaris who took us from the airport, around Uganda and back to the airport in a week. We always felt safe and cared for. We had asked to visit the places my parents lived in the 1950s so we stayed in Entebbe and Kichwamba. The latter has fantastic views of Queen Elizabeth National park and is highly recommended. On my birthday we visited Kilembe hospital where I was born - what an amazing day. Love Uganda had arranged for a special cake to be made and we shared it with the staff and children in the hospital. Overall an unforgettable experience thanks to Love Uganda!!

Worst experience ever
We had the most horrible and scary 2 days of our lives with this company. First day was the car accident and it went into a full on death-spiral from there. I don’t even want to rehash the 24 hour period in between the car accident the first day and being broken down on the side of the road on the return trip, so for the sake of brevity I’ll start at the vehicle breakdown on January 28th, 2019. We were on the side of the road for 8 hours, in the region where CANNIBALS are known to abduct, kill and eat stranded people. WE HEARD THEM IN THE WOODS BEHIND THE TREE LINE JUST FEET AWAY FROM US! We were in SO MUCH DANGER. 6 tourists had be taken and eaten just a few months prior, we learned the next day. We had to call one of our own people to come get us from Kampala (2.5 hour drive each way for him), if we would have waited for a representative from Love Uganda to arrive, it would have been after 2am! The biggest issue we have at this point is that Love Uganda agreed to refund us 40% of the Safari cost, and we wrote up a contract and both parties signed that by March 1st the funds would be transferred into our account. We gave them 4 WEEKS to get us the refund. 4 weeks came and went, and I emailed them that their deadline had passed. I was told that the owner was out of the country until the end of the month (weeks from then) and that nothing could be done. Here it is April 1st and there has STILL been no contact from them and no refund. I had not intended to write this review because even though our trip was HORRIFIC AND TRAUMATIC, we just wanted the partial refund and to return to our lives. But after everything that happened, and NOW after them not honoring their agreement and ignoring the contract that they signed AND not communicating, I feel it is my duty to warn others. They talk a professional game, but they do not honor their financial agreements, and that is NOT PROFESSIONAL.

The best tour operator in Uganda!
I think, we were very lucky to find Love Uganda Safaris! The organization was perfect, they answered always inmediatly to our questions. The lodges were very good in their categories, good food, attention...nice view to the national parks. Love Uganda Safaris is a company that I would recommend to anybody wishing to adventure in Uganda and in East Africa.

Love Uganda Safaris gives a fuller understanding of SE Africa balancing safaris with cultural visits
Love Uganda Safaris did a fantastic job providing us (3 American women) with a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend time with the non-habituated mountain gorillas in Bwindi. Through out our trip in Rwanda and Uganda we felt safe and had wonderful experience. They were responsive to our requests and aimed to please. Our guide kept us informed about what to expect each day and kept us on schedule which wasn't alway easy. He was an amazing driver and guide. I highly recommend Love Uganda Safaris!

Superb all round safari
We thoroughly enjoyed our safari through most of Uganda. Moses and Israel looked after us every step of the way.
They were both very professional and caring and nothing was too difficult for them. They even had a sense of humour as they laughed at our somewhat terrible jokes.
Accommodation was of the appropriate standard that we paid for except for 1 hotel which Israel quickly changed.
Caleb, Senior Travel Consultant, was a pleasure to deal with as we developed the itinerary. All emails were promptly responded to.
All in all, Love Uganda is a professional operator and we have no hesitation in recommending them.

Seeing the wonders of Uganda with Ugandans
Our group of eight really enjoyed our 2 night 3 day safari to Murchison Falls National Park. Moses and Israel looked after us so well and are so knowledgeable. When planning the trip, via email, all our questions were answered and the competitive price delivered just what we wanted. What finally clinched it for Love Uganda was the fact that some of our money was going to support an orphanage. So many good things done by Ugandans !
