The most amazing way to start out Africa adventure
From the moment our tour began, it was smooth sailing. Richard our guide was wonderful. So friendly, knowledgeable and truly made our experience one to remember. The service and organisation was amazing - we didn’t have to think or worry about a thing. Thanks Richard for such a personal experience. We look forward to doing it all again one day.

It was our first time in Uganda and we really loved it !! Richard made our trip a special experience and adventure. He had a very good eye and discovered many animals. We are so happy to have him with us. We learned a lot about the people, the landscape and the animals of Uganda. Thank you so much for this incredible time !!!

6 day trip: Gorilla Trek, Chimpanzee Safari & Queen Elizabeth Park
We booked a 6 day trip through Richard and Wild Travel and we were not disappointed.
A special mention to our guide Richard who was absolutely phenomenal and very knowledgeable about everything Uganda/Africa. It was wonderful to have our own private vehicle and guide for the trip.
All our accommodation of Isunga Lodge, Kasenyi Safari Camp & Gorilla Mist Camp was simply stunning and incredible. The gorilla tracking we pretty amazing and our most trip high light. I do recommend it. As well as all the activities were well planned and there was still time in between to relax as exploring our surroundings.
We can't recommend Wild Travel and Richard enough, as we are looking to plan our next trip to Uganda with them.

An Incredible 5 days in Uganda
We spent an AMAZING 5 days with our fantastic driver and guide Arnold. We trekked the gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable NP and spent some time enjoying the Wildlife in Queen Elizabeth NP as well as a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel. Alex was very knowledgeable, letting us know the names of the various plants, birds and animals, as well as giving us some historical, factual and cultural information. The roads are rough in Uganda, but at no time did we ever feel compromised or unsafe. Every part of our tour was incredible. In Bwindi, we experienced a family of 16 gorillas (babies, adolescents, blackbacks and a silverback). These beautiful animals walked within a few feet of us. This was absolutely a highlight of our trip. Our time at Queen Elizabeth Park and the Kazinga Channel was also amazing.
We saw tree climbing lions, kobs, vultures, elephants, baboons, water buffalo, various birds, hippos, warthogs, crocodiles and an unusual siting of a leopard. Our accommodations were excellent and the communication with Ritah from Wild Travel Safaris Company was so helpful and we recommend them highly.
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Murchison Falls Park 2 day safari 5 stars
Two colleagues and I were in Uganda for World Health Symposium.
We found Wild Travel Safari on line. Their online chat feature was very responsive, and we took the plunge.
An AMAZING trip! From pickup to drop off at hotel in Entebbe, everything was smooth and hassle free. Manager Richard handled logistics. Fabulous guy.
We chose the Land Cruiser option, perfect for 3.
Our driver and guide, Arnold, is exceptional. Excellent driver, easy conversation replete with cultural tidbits, mini language lessons, and insights on flora, fauna, and birds.
Arnold knows his stuff - he is the consummate Safari Guide - to him it is his lifelong passion
From pick up to drop off at hotel in Entebbe, Every detail was covered
Safari guide is his lifelong passion.
5 Stars. Excellent service
ARNOLD was our driver and guide. He is pleasant, patient, interactive, and resourceful, an easy conversationalist, full of cultural tidbits and mini language lessons! Safari Guiding is his passion
The car came with a case of water. CLEAN Rest Stops along the way :)
The package included entry to the Reserve Park, all meals, overnight stay, all travel. AND photos!
A quick lunch before Arnold dropped us at boat ride along the White Nile heading to Murchison Falls Hippos and crocs along the banks. Murchison Falls a true wonder. We opted to be dropped off at base of Falls to attempt the trek up to top of Falls a 45-60 minute hike, up steps hewn in rock. Handrails help!
Arnold met us at top, bearing freshly cut pineapple and watermelon - perfect refreshment after the hot climb!
With LandCruiser roof elevated, we took first Game Drive through the reserve : antelopes and other light footed creature, , water buffalo, giraffes, elephants. Arnold stopped thé car as needed to observe and take photos.
We watched as the Full Moon rose from one horizon, and the sun set on the other... truly breathtaking.
On to our lodgings for the night. We had chosen low budget. A lovely sweet group of individual huts
awaited us, each equipped w bathroom, and mosquito netted beds. And then a most delicious dinner.
Early next morning, with breakfast and coffee in tow,the 2nd Game Drive.
Wow. We travelled on small dirt roads on the Savannah. Arnold is an amazing tracker. We saw close up giraffes, elephants, bashful hyenas. And more.
And then....the prize.. a pride of lions, lounging along the road, simply unreal.
The ride back to hotel interspersed with village markets and rural life.
ARNOLD is a pro, a friendly and gentle and generous soul as is his Manager Richard. Both get FIVE STARS!

Dreams came true!
The tour was fantastic from the beginning (starting from booking) till our farewell in Entebbe Aiport! We took '7-Day Gorilla Tracking Chimpanzees & Big Five Wildlife' and added one day more for visiting Mburo Lake National Park. It was the only one tour I found with such a perfectly schedualed route for 7 days - from Murchison Falls NP to Bwindi NP, we've seen all wildlife highlights, including 10 spiecies of primates!
Richard is an amazing and experienced guide, very knowledgeable and with a good eye for a wildlife, the best driver for windy and bumpy local roads and a great companion. Any problem that occcured during the way was smoothly solved and thanks to Richard we had very private, individual gorilla and chimpanzee trackings. All accomodations were very comfortable and the only one our regret was that we coulnd't stay longer than one night!
During our long tour we had a chance to compare Wild Travel Safaris&Adventures to other operators that made us sure that Richard's service is absolutely excellent and exceptional and it was the best choice. Thank you for unforgettable experience!

Amazing guide to Uganda!!
I can't recommend this operator enough!!
We contact Richard about a month+ before our trip and from the first conversation we knew we want him to be our guide and organize our trip in Uganda, and it was the best decision we had made!
Richard was very communicative and answered all our question and wonderings.
We had an 11 day trip in Uganda with Richard which were tailored made to our preferences. Richard organized all our accommodations (and they were excellent!), tours and permit. The organization was flawless and Richard made sure everything will go smooth and we'll have everything we need.
We had a few Game Drives with Richard (in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks) that were above everything we expected!
Richard did above and beyond in order to make sure we'll see all big 5 and all other animals.
Richard is a great driver and we felt really safe in the long drives we had with him.
the vehicle was in great shape and very spacious.
Richard is very knowledgeable about Uganda wildlife and culture and we learned a lot from him.
I highly recommend using Richard as your guide in Uganda!
Thank you Richard for unforgettable trip. Can't wait to come back!!

Brilliant
Richard was an amazing tour guide. From the first email to our final goodbye attention was paid to every detail to make our safari a wonderful once in a lifetime experience.
It was so much fun traveling around Uganda with someone so knowledgeable about the country. We learnt so much. The safari itself was unreal. Richard had everything planned perfectly and was also able to be flexible enough to add little extras in that would be of interest to us.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard, he was wonderful and trip was wonderful. We also happened to be there during the World Cup and again Richard arranged for my hubby to be able to watch games at as many lodges he could in advance and even went as far to organize dinners with a tv there as he knew we would enjoy that at the end of a busy day. We never asked for that it again is just an example of how special Richard tried to make our experience.
We were sad saying goodbye to Richard and really felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend.
If you want a once in a lifetime travel experience do not hesitate to contact Richard @ Wild Travel Safari you will not be disappointed.

I experienced a professional and outstanding service that was flexible and catered for my requiremen
I found this a great personal and value for money experience that was unforgettable. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard as a guide, he was considerate, knowledgeable and had everything covered from the moment I arrived. He organized all my trips and accommodation without me having to worry about anything. I felt safe throughout and I was able to get the best out of all the experiences without having to worry about minor details. I had amazing primate experiences but even enjoyed other additional community experiences that I didn’t expect to. All my accommodations were wonderful and each had a different style but all were good. The food ranged from good to excellent and catered well for my special vegetarian diet. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour company and hope to book them again to explore some more of Uganda at a later date. 😃
