Superb Gorillas Trip
We did the Gorillas Trip to Bwindi with Devine Africa Safaris and we got more than we bargained for literally. The whole experience was second to none and we got it for a smaller cost than the quotes we had been given by international operators.
Nicholas is a smart and respectful gentleman who made our trip worthwhile. He made everything easy for us and provided us with all the information that we needed; VISA information, packing list, vaccinations and park information so that by the time we were coming to Uganda we knew all what was required.
The pickup from the airport was on time and the punctuality continued all during the trip.
We had Chris as our guide and he was very good, made sure that we saw all the animals that we wanted, kept our date with the cultural dancers in Mutanda and he is a good orator who captivated us with great narrations.I will give Devine Africa Safaris top marks for delivering on their promise to showcase Uganda, coming up with a well organized and sequential itinerary and hosting us well.
Highly recommended!!

Fun in Uganda
After our long flight from the US for my brother and I it was a delight to find Nicholas waiting for us at the airport in Uganda and transferred to our hotel for the much needed rest after introductions to our guide Simon. The following day Simon came for us and took us to the JUNGLE for the real African adventure. We visited 3 parks but engaged in so many activities that I cannot name them all here. We went for a boat ride on Kazinga Channel, Chimps sanctuary and off course the game drives in Kibale and QE parks not forgetting the trip highlight of trekking after the gorillas in Bwindi. Simon our guide was an awesome guide. He gave us the a detailed account of Uganda, culture and so much more such that he made the tour a real life experience of sightseeing and also background behind it. The Treks are well organized with the wardens only allowing a small number of trekkers at a time. We came so close with a family of Gorillas and it is an unforgettable experience.
Devine Africa Safaris is great company and we are luck to have received their fantastic service. I recommend them fully

African Adventure
Our missionary work recently took us to Uganda and we decided to take a days safari to the parks and also try and visit the mountain gorillas. We contacted Nicholas on very short notice and he was able to organize a fantastic safari to Kibale and Bwindi Parks. Our guide Chris collected us from our guesthouse in Entebbe and took us for the African adventure. We saw lots of animals including elephants, hippos, lions, zebras, giraffes and the most captivating moment with a mountain gorilla family. Trekking after the gorillas is quite taxing due to the high altitude and it was raining however all that wore off when we cam to their nest. This is a memory that I will carry for the rest of my life.
Thank you Devine African Safaris for organizing this great adventure on such short notice.

Gorilla Tracking in Africa
My husband and I recently did a Gorilla tracking and cultural vacation in Rwanda and Uganda. We arrived in Kigali and then had a tour around the clean city. We visited the genocide museum and some other cultural sites in Kigali before left Rwanda for Uganda. We stayed in the lovely Mutanda Resort and it a very nice place by the shores of Lake Mutanda. The Gorilla tracking adventure the following day was a one in a million experience. We trekked high up the Mountain and one should be fit to enjoy this activity. Our trackers led us to a family of Gorillas and we enjoyed the experience very much.
In the evening we had a fantastic evening entertained by a local dancing troop and served with traditional cuisines.
We had a fantastic trip and Chris is a wonderful guide who made our trip successful.

Great times on Safari
We recently went on safari to Uganda and had a wonderful time. We communicated with Nicholas who made the planing and payment process very smooth. During the actual safari we went to Queen Elizabeth National park where we saw lots of animals like buffaloes, elephants, hippos, lions, giraffes, monkeys and lots of birds. We then drove south and came to Bwindi. We did the Gorilla trekking in search of the mountain gorillas. We were quite lucky as the trackers located a family and communicate with our guides and we had ample time to marvel at the huge primates. They go with their business without noticing our presence. This is a moment that I will remember for the rest of my life.
I am very grateful to Devine African Safaris for getting us to experience that great spectacle. They are a great company and I fully recommend them

Great Trip in Rwanda
I booked my tour with Devine African Safaris and I could not be happier. It was way cheaper going with a local operator than it would have been if I had used the international operators. Chris our guide was knowledgeable and considerate, answered all our questions and listened to everything we requested for and just made it happen.
We enjoyed the parks in Rwanda including the amazing trek to the mountain gorillas. Chris made a huge difference in our tour and we will leave Rwanda with a better appreciation of its culture, people, beauty and natural resources.
I recommend this wonderful company fully to all my mates.

Wonderful Trip to Uganda
I booked my safari to Uganda with Devine African Safaris and I am very grateful and appreciate that it was well organized by Nicholas who guided us in creating a wonderful itinerary and then assigned us Chris as our guide who turned out to be a fantastic inclusion for he added a lot of value to out trip.
I cannot possibly enumerate all the animals that we saw here but Chris is an excellent guide and took us to the spots where we could see the wildlife well without any interference. We went to Kibale, Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi Parks. The highlight of our safari was the Gorilla trek though we also enjoyed the boat safari on Kazinga channel.
We had a lot fun on this adventure and we recommend Devine for they were great and one could not ask for more

5 days Uganda Safari
We had a wonderful time going on Safari with our super guide Herbert who made a huge positive difference in our tour. The director Nicholas helped us with the itinerary where he did very well. The trip was well planned and we were given a sturdy reliable 4x4 vehicle. Herbert knowledge of wildlife, birds and culture is vast from the way he answered our questions with detailed explanations.
We also liked our accommodations which served great food. Very clean too and professional staff.
A great company fully worthy the five stars

Akagera Park Tour
We went on a 2 day Akagera Park tour with Boaz and had the time of our life. I came to visit my daughter who was volunteering for OAF in Rwanda and she arranged the Safari with Nicholas of Devine African Safaris on very short notice.
Boaz picked us from her residence in Kigali, drove us to Akagera as we enjoyed the rolling hills covered in green vegetation. A fantastic guide and great company to be around. In the safari we saw elephants, monkeys, zebras, lions, kudu, dikdik, tortoises, giraffes and hippos. The vehicle was comfortable and spacious as there was only the 2 of us. I am nostalgic when I remember the fond memories we shared with my daughter in Rwanda.
I will be going back to Rwanda or Uganda in December for a Gorilla Trek with Devine African Safaris

Rwanda Safari and Gorillas
My recent visit to Rwanda with my friend John for safari and gorilla trekking with Devine African Safaris was wonderful trip that I will remember for many years to come. Nicholas was our contact person and he was so professional, prompt responses to emails, flexible and created an itinerary that suited our budget and places that we wanted to visit. Boaz was a perfect guide during the trip, he is very experienced and an excellent guide; right driving skills and great at spotting game- lions, elephants, zebras, waterbuck, hippos, giraffe, buffalo and eland. I loved trekking up mountain to the Gorillas. The elevation was steep but our reward of spending time with a family of mountain gorillas was worth the effort. After the safari we had a free day in Kigali and where Nicholas organized for Boaz to take us to the Genocide Musuem and lunch at a local restaurant serving African dishes. We enjoyed our time in Rwanda and we thank you Boaz and Nicholas for being excellent hosts.
