My trip operator was intelligent, personable and attentive to my needs
Primate Journeys was very good to work with. They provided me with all i wanted to see and do. From the big 5 and many other species to the different tribes i wanted to visit. i got to try the many different African foods and learned a great deal about Trible history and customs. I would recommend them to anyone.

Sam was knowledgeable about Ugqanda roads, lodges, wildlife -primates, mammels, and birds.
Sam, the proprietor of Primate Journeys Africa, was our driver and guide for most of our trip to Uganda, and his listening to our trip goals and following through made our excursion most enjoyable and educational. Sam not only had intimate familiarity of the roads, parks, tour possibilities, and lodges, he also shared his extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna, which enhanced our experience tremendously. He willingly answered our inquiries on all subjects related to Ugandan history, economics, education, and development.
While all of the above alone would have made for a successful once-in-a-lifetime experience, his strong interpersonal skills were really the icing on the cake. I find it difficult to imagine that there could be a better organization to provide the greatly appreciated results of our trip.

Knowledgeable tour operator who provides a rich experience in Uganda exceeding expectations
We had a very positive experience with Samuel, the owner of Primate Journeys Africa, during our group’s nearly two-week trip to Uganda. Samuel served as our excellent and careful driver and tour guide. As our guide, he went out of his way to help us meet our goals for the trip. His knowledge of Uganda, the national parks, the natural history, and the roads made our tour seamless and provided us with many insights. He knew just where to stop along the way for meals as well as one instance of needed medical care. Further, through his knowledge and connections, he ensured that we had close-up encounters with wildlife, an experience with gorilla tracking that exceeded our expectations, birding and walking tours with knowledgeable naturalists, and a boat ride on the Nile. Personally, Samuel was extremely pleasant, conversational and patient with our large and diverse group over long drives throughout the trip.
I highly recommend this company for a safari in East Africa.

Very personalized!
Samuel was very communicative in the arrangements. He gave very detailed responses and in a timely manner. His associate Paul also was very effective as Samuel's second.
The prices offered for a 3-day trip to Murchison was the best out of five quotes. The package included lunch and dinner, basic lodging, fuel, park fees, and several game drives. It was difficult to beat what was offered.
The driver and the vehicle were great for the price. The top was able to be raised for excellent viewing. The vehicle had a built in fridge which was useful. The outlets didn't work in the vehicle, which was not critical. The vehicle didn't have the appropriate equipment to change a tire so that needs to be addressed.
The game drives were everything that we were looking for. Our group was able to see all of the big 5, many birds, and other wildlife during the weekend. The driver was knowledgeable and great at spotting different types of hidden animals.
The boat cruise was also part of the package but reservations need to be confirmed before hand.
The lodging choice had great service and views. The dinner options were fantastic. The area felt very peaceful. The outlets in the accommodations weren't working, however.
I would totally recommend Primate Journeys and our colleagues are already planning the next excursion with them.
