A once in a lifetime experience! ♥️
Crystal Safari was very helpful from the planning process to any questions we had. The tour was pricey but worth it. We saw everything we wanted to and had an overall great experience. Our guide Joseph was very friendly, helpful, flexible with our program, trustworthy and also always in a good mood and up for a joke. We would fully recommend crystal safari & Joseph to our friends! Thank you!

Beautiful experience
Our tour guide Zayd was very professional, friendly and so knowledgeable about Bwindi and the surrounding areas. He was a great time keeper, we really enjoyed the trip.
Thanks to Christine and her team.

Well organised, very professional and excellent customer service!
After a very long time of saving, budgeting and planning, I finally went ahead and booked my Gorilla Tracking Experience with Crystal Safaris Uganda. I viewed and researched many tour operators and in the end decided that Crystal held the best package for what I was looking for! It was the trip of a lifetime!! Crystal Safaris tailor made my tour to exactly what I needed and had budgeted for. Barbara, whom I corresponded with via email replied very promptly to all my inquiries and gave me the much needed confidence and reassurance to go ahead with my booking. As a solo traveller you always need to make sure you are in safe and reliable hands, and with Crystal Safaris, I never thought otherwise!! My guide, Joseph was great! He shared a lot of information regarding Uganda as a country as well as the people and ecosystems that inhabit this beautiful country. Joseph really helped to make my trip that much more enjoyable and memorable! Apart from the Gorilla tracking which was just incredible…all of the accommodation which Crystal Safaris had booked me into were great! Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere at all the lodges / hotels from start to finish! Overall I had one of the most amazing trips to date! I would use Crystal Safaris again without questions! Until next time!!

Wonderful trip
We had a great holiday in Uganda and I wanted to thank you for organizing this trip.
Everything went very well and we had a great driver. Remmy was very pleasant, very calm and available.
He knows the wildlife very well and allowed us to see many animals. he was also a very careful driver which is very welcome.
We enjoyed all of our accommodations the one we liked the most was the Crater Safari Lodge. We also liked the rwakobo rock.
I will give a special mension to the Hoima cultural lodge which has a beautiful garden and whose atmosphere seemed authentic and very African.
The accommodation that we least appreciated was the Enganzi lodge where the welcome was less pleasant than in all the other lodges and which has a lot of stairs and very slippery, which is dangerous. Otherwise our room was very good.
All the parks were wonderful we saw a lot of animals and also took a lot of photos !
We also enjoyed the stroll on the Kazinga Channel, the walk along Murchinson Falls and the visit to Bigodi which was very interesting.
A big THANK Barbara for this trip!

Meeting the Gorillas changed my life, meeting Uganda changed it even more!
I’ve been to Paradiset, also known as Uganda! I bring home a wealth of experiences after meeting a country with a beautiful nature, fascinating animals and truly kind and generous people. First in line is Joseph our wonderful guide! With a big smile, a great knowledge and love for his country he provided all the information and attention we could ever ask for. A truly great ambassador for Uganda.

Joseph was an amazing and informative guide.
We didn’t have a rep so Joseph was our rep & tour guide. He explained a lot and showed us around. This was a great experience, especially traveling during thanksgiving by myself. When I come back I hope Joseph is around.

He goes out of his way to see that the needs of his group are met in a gentle and effective way. He is a skillful listener. He is extremely trustworthy in all of the very facets of his being an excellent leader in Uganda. Highly recommended. I have arrived home a different person with enriching memories.
