The worst nature tour
1/5

It was the worst nature tour I have ever experienced in the world.
Departure was an hour late due to the tardiness of the guide.
The guide was grumpy the whole time and didn't explain anything about the animals or the park. He refused to even have a conversation with us. The car was broken down from the start, running at 20 km/h with black smoke and stopping frequently for repairs.
We were forced to cut off our game drive in the middle of the tour to get that car repaired.
My friend was trampled by the car driven by the guide, yet there were no words of apology or concern about his injuries, just a series of lame excuses.
When I reported this to the company, I received no apology or compensation.

Best Safari Adventure
5/5

We couldn't have chosen a better company to organize our Ugandans trip with. From the begining, Ecovic Tours and Travel staff was very attentive and allowed us to organize our trip according to our preferences and budget. Everything was incredible, from the accommodations, to the itinerary, to the transportation. And of course, we can´t not mention our amazing guide, Brian. Extremely careful, attentive, patient and always worried that everything with our trip was allright. We are beyond thankful for the opportunity of knowing Uganda and its people. We were amazed by the country and the kindness of Ugandans and we hope that this was the first of many visits.

**Review for Ecovic Safari Tours and Guide Frank**

We had an unforgettable experience with Ecovic Safari Tours during our recent trip to Uganda. From the moment we started booking, Vincent made the process smooth and straightforward, ensuring all our preferences were accommodated. Once on the tour, our guide Frank truly went above and beyond to make our safari special. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and always made sure we had the best possible experiences.

We saw a remarkable variety of wildlife, including lions up close, hippos, elephants, giraffes, and rhinos – it was breathtaking! The accommodation, which we had chosen as mid-range, far exceeded our expectations. It was of the highest standard, with exceptional service, and the meals were consistently delicious throughout the trip.

We highly recommend Ecovic Safari Tours for anyone planning a Ugandan adventure. Frank and the entire team made this a trip of a lifetime!

Amazing Experience, I recommend it to everyone
5/5

Everything was perfectly organized, from the choices of accommodation where we stayed to the safari van we used; we had support at all times.

In particular, I want to thank the Wildlife and Safaris Coordinator, Conservationist Vincent, a generous, sensitive, and very attentive man for arranging our safari in such a short time. Thank you for making such a difference in our trip.

We shall definitely recommend you and Ecovic Tours to everyone who would love to visit Uganda, the pearl of Africa.

A great safari to see the Mountain Gorillas
5/5

We booked a 12-day, 11-night Uganda Wildlife and Wildlife Safari with Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda, and it exceeded our expectations! The highlight was, of course, encountering the gorillas in Bwindi, but every part of the journey was memorable. We loved seeing the adorable golden monkeys and were captivated by the stunning beauty of Lake Bunyonyi.

Our guide, Richard, was exceptional. He was always punctual, kept us informed about the daily schedule, and had an impressive knowledge of everything we asked. Plus, he is incredibly friendly and hilarious. The van we traveled in was clean and comfortable, and the itinerary was well-balanced, with varied activities and accommodations that never felt overwhelming.

Overall, this was an unforgettable experience for my first time in Africa, and we highly recommend Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda. Thank you so much!

Exciting, Satisfying and Worth Taking it
5/5

My husband and i took a 07-days safari including Gorilla trekking with Ecovic Tours.

The tour exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were lovely.

Matin our guide was very helpful, informative and funny. He was very animated and always makes sure that the long drives were lively.

The gorilla trek was exhilarating (even with the challenging hike up, haha). Seeing the gorillas up close is really a once in a lifetime experience.

We shall definitely recommend Ecovic Tours to all our relatives and friends!

Everything expertly and perfectly organized and Executed by Ecovic Tours
5/5

We had an incredible 3 weeks experience! Everything was organized tip-top, and gave an extra dimension to the saying "this is the pearl of Africa".

First, Vincent designed a trip based on our wishes, showing great ingenuity in organizing permits and accommodations.

Next, our guide Richard not only executed it expertly and perfectly, but he also showed great initiative and flexibility when for instance weather conditions changed and thus chances of detecting animals. In addition, Richard had a vast knowledge of animal and bird behavior, and an incredible eye-sight for spotting.

We have seen the big 5, as well as hyenas, warthogs, vultures, marabous stork, gorillas, chimps, zebras, snakes, giraffes, and so much more. Richard also taught us whole-heartedly about Uganda, its people, languages and its peculiarities.

Also our 16-years old son was a fan of guide Richard.

We are definitely going to recommend Uganda, Vincent and guide Richard and Ecovic Tours to all our friends.

A perfect Holiday in Uganda, the pearl of Africa indeed!
5/5

Our first trip to the continent spanned about 14 days and we would say it was one of the best trips we have ever been on.

Ecovic Tours provided a wonderful guide, Sam, who is very knowledgeable and skilled with past experience working in the National Parks as well. He knew how to locate animals and spent time to educate us on the behaviors and adaptations of the various wildlife spotted during the trip. He was also always very helpful and took very good care of us. It was a joy to have been able to travel with him while we were in Uganda. Sam' capabilities and service alone warrants this experience the "Excellent" rating it has received from us.

The accommodations/tents were all comfortable and enjoyable with nice food and sceneries. The vehicle was spacious and comfortable. Overall, we felt very safe with the travel arrangements.

Uganda is a beautiful country. I cannot wait to visit it again someday with Ecovic Tours.

Amazing Safari that Exceeded my Expectations
5/5

Going on a Safari was the only thing on my bucket list. Found Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda online and contacted them because of their excellent ratings and prompt answers.

Vincent did a great job in making suggestions and formulating our itinerary. He helped with the actual details of our trip in Uganda. Prompt answers to our many questions. Initiated communication a number of times.

Actually safari was unbelievable. From guides, to camps , to locations, to accommodations and food were all 5 star. Each of the 3 camps we stayed at were very different in terms of environments and terrain. Gave us a broad experience of Uganda and her animals , vegetation, water and terrain.

And Murchison Falls, at the beginning, took our breath away. But a great 9 days and would not hesitate to use Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda again. Highly recommended

Absolutely reliable, competent and always looking for the best experience for his guests
5/5

The whole trip was amazing and our guide Justine was top notch. He took us around the park spotting endless antelopes, giraffes and elephants. We saw a leopard and a lion and many hippos. The birds that we saw were beautiful as well. We saw three crested cranes. The highlight of the trip was the hike to Murchison Falls. We saw a rainbow burst out of the water as the sun rose. The whole trip was just amazing. We absolutely loved Justine. He shared his knowledge of the various animals and history of the area. I highly recommend using this tour company.
