Wonderful Safari experience
Absolutely wonderful trip! The tour was from beginning to end very well organized. The company always replied very fast and the informations were reliable. We saw a lot of the country and could enjoy the wildlife. Two unforgettable moments were meeting a rhino while trekking in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and spending time with the chimps in Kigale. They are really worth the visit.
In compare the trip was quite cheap but the accommodations were all very fine with really nice food. Best price- performance ratio.
Our guide, Jonan, was extremely friendly and funny, we head a really good time. He was always there for explanations and made everything possible. No wish was unfulfilled.
Thanks again for such a good time!

Wonderful itinerary for family of 4 to do the gorilla trek and QEP safari in Uganda
Had a number of conversations with the owner Michael during planning stage and after. Very helpful and provided useful voice of experience. Making a bank transfer in USD to a company in Uganda was slightly unusual as my preference is to pay by credit card for added protection, but it was totally fine and we had our 4 gorilla permits for the day requested, did chimp trekking, boat trip and safari in QEP. A truly wonderful and amazing trip.
We were met by both Ben and Michael at Kigali airport and dropped off by Ben at Kigali Airport. Hotels were as notified by Michael and excursions as agreed and planned. Ben is a great guide. Michael kindly came along from Kampala and stayed 2 days. Michael helped me get a good rate to convert my GBP to USD for local spending. The highlight has to be the gorilla trek. It was not easy, approx 2.5 hours to the family through thick undulating jungle. But the 1 hour with the gorilla family made the money and energy all worth it. An amazing experience to see an endangered species in their natural surroundings from only 2-3 metres distance. It was exhilarating but not dangerous.
Not everything was perfect. Some Hotel service can be more hit and miss than in the West. Estimating road journey timings will be approximations as weather, border control busyness and night time can all have impact. Bwindi forest is reached by a single lane winding road up a mountain, but absolutely necessary if you want to see mountain gorillas!
I made my own itinerary of key items to cover during the trip, received a competitive quote from Michael and crucially had my 4 gorilla trekking permits confirmed before I had paid any money. This was done some months in advance. I would have no hestitation to say Michael of Mushra will do his best to deliver a great Africa holiday experience.

Unforgettable, simply excellent !
Communication before the trip was professional, easy and fast, even special requests were accommodated due to Mushra's great flexibility.
I chose the 7 day Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Viewing Safari, the tour exceeded my expectations. My guide, Martin, made this a very memorable experience with his in depth knowledge of Ugandan culture and wildlife as well as his good humour. The accommodation and food choices throughout the tour were excellent providing unbeatable value for money !
If you are looking for an authentic and unforgettable tour of Uganda, Mushra is the team to go with !
Awesome - Exceeded my expectations. Great tour guides. Very Efficient Planning.
The tour was amazing. Well organised. They even sent Sandra from Kampala to meet me at the airport in Kigali.
Could not have wished for a better tour. Everything went to plan and Michael (the boss) was always checking up to see that everything was in order. Had 2 great guides - Martin and Abel - thank you all for such a great adventure in Uganda & Rwanda.

Vest experience of my life!
As a solo traveler it took me some time with weeks of in depth research to find a reputable tour guide. I couldn't have been happier with choosing mushra travel. From the start of my tour throughout my guide Patrick was cheerful, pleasant, funny, knowledgable and above all sincerely passionate about wildlife and his country. I chose to do the 4 day gorilla trek in bwindi forest and had the most amazing experience throughout my time at the camp and getting close enough that I had a gorilla touch my knee! I've left a big piece if my heart in Uganda and will return soon! I would recommend anyone considering mushra to go ahead and book! You will have the most amazing experience! I cannot fault anything! I found it to be the best value for money.

Fantastic Trip
Our tour was led by Patrick who was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he was doing and he made the trip very memorable. He was very flexible, if we wanted to change the itinerary or see something in particular, nothing was ever too much hassle for him. Accommodation was excellent - especially for a budget tour. Icing on the cake was giving us a Ugandan football shirt each which says a lot about Mushra and the service they offer. Excellent tour and I would recommend Mushra to all.

Perfect Trip! Excellent organization and guiding from Mushra Travel Agency
I had the best time in Uganda with a trip organized by Mushra Travel Agency. Preparing the trip I communicated with Michael via e-mail and Whatsapp. He was always ready to answer all my questions and provided me with multiple options for the trip eventually resulting in the perfect itineray which included everything I wanted to visit and see in Uganda.
The professional service, quick response time and detailed information provided me with a high level off comfort leading up towards the start of the trip. This all together resulted in me having no issues whit transferring a down payment for the trip (which is also required if you want to arrange a gorilla trekking permit). At arrival I was picked up by Mushra Travel Agency, had a short briefing with Michael and my driver/guide for the tour Martin. Also, I had decided on my way to Uganda that I wanted to adjust my agreed itinerary slightly extending my trip with a visit to Lake Mburo as well which was no issue thanks to Mushra's flexibility.
In the end the trip has given me everything I hoped for and even more. Thanks to Michael and his team for my memorable trip in Uganda. Special thanks go out to my guide Martin, he made the trip! He was always making sure I was having a good time, always looking after me concerning my needs, very talkative and just a fun person to roadtrip with. Furthermore, he had detailed knowledge about Uganda's (and even all of East Africa's) flora and fauna and was able to spot a variety of birds, wildlife (including the Big Five), and trees and plants. I can truly say that I came as a client and left as a friend. I'll be missing my brother from another mother!
Overall I can highly recommend Mushra Travel Agency in case your looking for an adventure in Uganda. Their variety in trips and options for these trips includes something for every type of traveler and their care taking and high service level will surely not let you down!!

Excellent!
I was a solo woman about to join group tour with Mushra. I got a reasonable price offered from Michael while other tour companies quoted the price very high. I dont know what happened but I ended up travel alone accompanied by a local guide, there was only me in the car. I guess it might because of my arrival time and date. Eventhough, It was like a private tour, I wasnt asked to pay for extra charge but still got upgraded to a better hotel for all 5 nights. Michael is also impressed me by a souvenir gorilla T-shirt. I got everything as promise and the tour went well. Thank to Michael and his team for my memorable trip in Uganda.

Just Excellent! Best experiance ever! No one could have done it better!!!!
We are a couple from Germany and usually do our own individual travel. But reading about Uganda we decided to do it this time different and do an organised tour. We wrote to different agencies comparing prices and itinary, but very fast Mushra Travel Agency stood out from all the others! Michael wrote back to me in a very professinal, kind, detailed, friendly and precise way. He answered all my questions, was very helpful and changed and modified the trip when i asked for changing the itinary slightly concerning lodges or the duration in a lodge. Everything sounded very trustful so that we had no problem of sending part of the safari costs upfront. When we landed early in the morning Michael, Sandra and our driver Jonan picked us up from the airport.
We were straight away very happy and relaxed when we saw them. Our tour was amazing and an overall sucessful and unforgettable experiance! For sure it was our guide Jonan which made our trip so special!! He handled our car so brilliant, was very communicate, funny, always looking after us concerning our needs i.e. coffee or coke ☺in between long journey or after tracking and he was always very helpful and smart. At the end of our trip we can say, we 3 become "a little family" and it was very hard to say good bye to Jonan......we even started crying
