Great Tour!
We travelled to Murchison Falls National Park and had a great time with them. Despite the challenges of organizing a tour in this post-lockdown Mega Wild gave us a wonderful treat.
Very competent and friendly people that treated us as loved guests!
They really know the park and helped us to spot all the animals in it and the best views!
Highly recommend!!

Expect the Unexpected On Your Exciting Tour Of Murchison Falls with Mega Wild Safaris
I think the tour was very well done. The tour guides were knowledgable and gave us very interesting information as we passed by various ecosystems and animals. They even told us fascinating history of along the whole route from Kampala to Murchison Falls area. I learned so much, and they had answers to all of our (sometimes strange) questions like "Do giraffes sleep standing up?"!
The tour of the game park was AMAZING! It was so cool to see the animals in the wild... and the guides had a good eye for finding and pointing out the animals. We weren't lucky enough to see any lions or leopards, but it was our own groups fault for delaying to get out of bed on time... haha. We did a boat tour as well along the Nile, which had us an arms-length away from hippos and crocodiles... it was SO COOL! I would definitely recommend this.
The tour guides kept us safe, and also were able to improvise well using machetes and manpower when the unexpected came up (such as when trees had fallen to block our path in the game park or when the bus decided to slip around on the road). It made for a fun filled trip! The drivers were also very skilled in their job haha, navigating a large bus like it was a quad.
The company made the experience fun with our tour group, by sharing in dinners and drinks and conversations after long days in the National Park. Overall it felt like they really cared about our experience and knew how to make sure we got the best views, took cute photos, and gave us a unique experience. They also made the journey comfortable with stops along the way to use the washroom and stretch.
I would definitely recommend a tour with them!
Amazing experience and excellent service!
Wonderful experience and excellent service all around. Highly recommended!

in few words... it was simply perfect!
A long and exciting journey of over 20 days among the wonders of Uganda was possible thanks to a careful, meticulous, patient and extremely professional organization. Mega Wild Safari's ability to cope with all requests and needs was flawless. Onan and James were not only two very good guides but also two traveling companions able to share with me their views on their magnificent country! thank you very much ... see you soon again!

Once in a lifetime experience
What a wonderful adventure with Mega Wild Safaris. Thanks so much to Onan and Dalson who were perfect guides for this amazing trip. So many great memories with animals and people who will live in my mind for a long long time. Many facilities to suit our preferences. If you are looking for a good company to discover Uganda and its border countries: go for it!

Very accommodating and helpful
We really enjoyed our safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Recommend!
Anne was very responsive and attentive to our needs/wants during the safari
We were very pleased with the service we received from Mega Wild Safaris, Anne was very attentive to what we were wanting for our trip of a lifetime and was quick to respond to our emails/questions. We liked having someone local in Uganda because we think it made the price more reasonable and she had contacts in Uganda, our trip was booked for Uganda and Tanzania over the Christmas holidays.
Our driver in Uganda, Kassim, was the absolute best! Unfortunately, the airline lost our luggage for 6 days and finding medicine/necessities/clothing etc is not that easy but Kassim was very patient and we were able to get a few things so we could have the basics. Anne was instrumental in locating our luggage and was able to get it to the hotel where we were originally going to stay, because of the time and curfew it was a challenge getting it to us, but Kassim was able to get a couple of his friends to drive the 9 hours and we were able to have it before the Gorilla Trekking! We enjoyed the hotels in Uganda and Tanzania, in Uganda we stayed with the locals on holiday which was a wonderful experience and we met some of the nicest people we have ever encountered. We would definitely travel with Mega Wild Safaris again and would ask for Kassim as our guide/driver. Anne is very Professional, Calm and understanding to anything you may encounter along the journey which made us feel like we were always in good hands. Uganda is a beautiful place with beautiful people! Tanzania is better equipped for tourists and our guide in Tanzania was very good, Anwar, but it was definitely more of a professional feel as a opposed to a more personal experience we had in Uganda. Overall, it was an incredible experience and we look forward to returning!

Trip of a lifetime thanks to our guides.
I travelled with a group of 6 other women and we could not have been more impressed by the level of service that our tour guides James and Dalson provided. They were knowledgeable and fun which made the long travel days exciting. The hotels that we stayed in were all on par or above for expectations and the staff at each stop were so welcoming. The experiences that Megawild set up were fantastic and we enjoyed every moment. Memories for a lifetime!

Always looked out for us on our fantastic tour!
We went on a 13 day tour of Rwanda and Uganda with Mega Wild Safaris. This was the trip of a lifetime for an unbelievably reasonable price. We saw everything! In Rwanda we drove on safari and tracked chimpanzees. In Uganda we spent time with mountain gorillas (sitting right among them), went lion tracking and found 2 prides plus 2 leopards, multiple safari trips and two boat safaris, one on the Nile. Saw so many hippos, crocodiles (huge), elephants, giraffes, rhinos, jackals lots of monkeys and birds. We were up close with all of them.
Our tour guides (James, Dalson and James) were so attentive and friendly. They were always watching out to make sure we had a perfect vacation. Our hotels were great and the food excellent.
No bugs, no issues at all! I highly recommend this tour company for African tours. The 13 day tour would be great for families or groups of friends, even alone if you so desire.

Such a great group, well organized!
Our guides Dalson and James were great and helpful throughout! There was enough structure to know what we were doing, but enough flexibility to make adjustments based on how we were feeling or the weather (which was perfect when we needed it!). The accommodations were great. There was a nice mix of sorta rustic (although still showers and flush toilets) and some higher end places. Dalson was able to switch our rooms one night when the previously planned hotel didn't have a functioning pool. We had just mentioned it in passing when we were in the van that we were excited to go swimming, we didn't request the change. Although we would have been fine either way, this highlighted how much Dalson was paying attention to us and able to flex into a different plan very quickly.
I wasn't in the planning stage, but I know Anne worked well with our group leader to determine the sights we wanted to see. The tour was varied and had a little bit of something for everyone, animals, scenery, culture and food! The locals were exceedingly nice and wanted us to all have a great time. This trip did highlight how much I've let myself get out of shape, but the guides and trackers were so good about making sure we could get to where we were going even when I was struggling.
I would not hesitate to recommend Megawild Safari to anyone considering a trip to Africa!
