Jennifer and Abdul were Very accommodating, caring and went above expectations.
**Review for Peak Cruise Safaris**
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 7-day safari tour with Peak Cruise Safaris in Uganda, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our group of five was guided by the Jennifer, the owner, and Abdul, our driver and guide. From start to finish, the trip exceeded all our expectations.
Jennifer, who runs and owns this amazing local female-owned business, was with us throughout the entire journey. Her dedication and passion for showcasing the beauty of Uganda were evident in every aspect of the tour. Abdul, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured that we had a seamless and enjoyable experience.
They even picked us up and dropped us off from the airport in Rwanda even though our tour was in Uganda.
During our week-long adventure, we explored multiple safaris and had personal tours of several local communities. The opportunity to see Uganda's wildlife up close and to engage with the local culture was truly enriching. One of the highlights of the trip was the gorilla trek, which was an awe-inspiring experience. It became even more special when I proposed to my girlfriend during the trek, and Jennifer's help in planning the details made it perfect.
We were lucky enough to see lions, elephants, leopards, hippos, buffalo and much much more.
The accommodations were fantastic, and the tour supported local hotels and community members, which added to the positive impact of our visit. We were treated to three large meals a day, and the food was far better than I had anticipated – much more than I eat at home.
Overall, Peak Cruise Safaris delivered a ten out of ten experience. If you're considering a safari in Uganda, I highly recommend choosing Jennifer and Abdul to guide you. Their expertise, hospitality, and the personal touches they add to the tour make it an extraordinary journey.
Thank you, Peak Cruise Safaris, for an unforgettable adventure!

Professional and expert tour company
As a single female traveler, I felt very safe and cared for during my trip to Murchison Falls. Jennifer was patient with my many questions during booking. Noah is a safe and expert driver and very knowledgeable as a guide. He located many animals on our game drives and I learned so much about each of them. I hope to return to Uganda to explore the other national parks and I will book again with Peak Cruise Safaris.

Amazing! Had the best time and would recommend!
My friend and I had the most amazing time on this tour. As two young backpackers, our budget was limited but Peak Cruise Safaris provided such an amazing tour at an affordable rate. We did 2 days and managed to see elephants, giraffes, leopards, lions, buffalo, hippo and crocs! Also we did the rhino sanctuary which was amazing! Our driver Abdul was amazing, a great guide and looked after us well! Jennifer was very helpful and organised it very effectively for us (even answering all my pestering questions!) We thoroughly appreciate you both and the tour company as we had a blast! Would recommend!!

Fantastic!
Tailored 5 day tour of just gorillas and chimp trekking. It did not disappoint. Jennifer was brilliant from the 1st point of contact. Abdul my driver was also great, very knowledgable and an excellent driver, given some of the roads and tracks here.
Gorilla trekking was more than I expected and it was just magical but be warned, it is not for the faint hearted and a degree of physical fitness is needed but spending an hour with them brought me to tears. I chose the mid range accommodation and it was great. The staff were polite and friendly and even helped me out of my boots and gators after trekking. The food was delicious and if there was something I didn’t like they offered something else.
Then it was on to Kibale for the chimp trekking via a drive through the Queen Elizabeth national park where I got to see plenty of African Elephants! Whilst chimpanzee trekking we were we were treated to a thunderstorm in the rain forest! Coming from the UK I am used to rain but boy, this was another level so be sure to pack decent waterproofs and of course decent walking boots. (I don’t know how people managed in just trainers) Such an amazing adventure and to see chimps swinging from the tress was such fun. Their communication skills are very loud indeed! The accommodation at Kibale forest camp was a permanent tent structure set in beautiful surroundings with monkeys jumping through the trees. This causes branches to fall on to the top of the hard roof above the tent but very loud and caught me by surprise at first. Think glamping….. lights, comfy bed, shower and a proper toilet that flushes! The food was tasty and you can even request a wake up call with coffee brought to your tent to ease you gently into your day.
Beware that visa isn’t widely accepted in Uganda so you will need a mix of Ugandan shillings and US dollars for your trip. Overall 10/10 for Peak cruise safaris. Jennifer has an amazing team, excellent communication and every request catered for. Highly recommended.

More than we could have hoped for
Jennifer was friendly, communicative and very flexible when we requested changes from the standard itinerary.
We did the 3-day Queen Elizabeth National Park tour, including chimpanzee trekking, boat ride and game drive. The guides worked hard to make sure we saw as many animals as we could, and we were lucky to see lions up close on both our game drives, just lounging and playing around. Throughout the entire trip we saw every animal on the list except for the elusive leopard.
As far as accommodations, they were way more comfortable than we expected, everyone at Kazinga Wilderness Lodge was very welcoming, they had a good buffet (local food) and we never went hungry. The nighttime guards that escorted us around the lodge were very friendly and also helped us to see more animals (there are hippos roaming around at night!). The rooms are safe from these animals as they are on a raised platform.
Also, the rooms have mosquito nets, hot water, and electricity. There is no WiFi but if you must be connected, get a SIM card for Uganda - we had internet most of the time with Airtel.
The chimpanzee trekking was lots of fun, make sure you bring high socks to tuck your pants into (there are ants!). It didn’t take us long to find a whole chimpanzee family, but we heard sometimes this may take a few hours.
All in all, this was a great experience that everyone should have. We cannot recommend Peak Cruise Safari enough. Thank you Jennifer!

Professional, adaptable and responsive - able to adjust itinerary during the tour!
Jennifer who runs the agency is professional; she responds quickly and provides great service. I had a 7-day trip with Amos the guide who is excellent in spotting animals. He is, punctual, knowledgeable and experienced. I would recommend this operator for sure.
Perfect!
Jennifer, the owner, was perfect! Very good communication before the trip, she answered all our questions immediately and clearly. Abdul, our guide, was a great person, with huge heart and always made us feel comfortable. The lodge was great, clean and the customer service on point. We felt spoiled. Thanks Jennifer and Abdul for everything!
