Absolutely amazing
I don’t typically leave reviews but Lulu Safaris we’re incredible from
Beginning to end.
My guide, Sam, was genuinely one of the nicest humans I’ve met, and everything I’d mentioned wanting to do he accommodated. We jammed out to Bob Marley, saw every imaginable animal, ate some amazing food, and he even helped me live some dreams I’d had since a kid. We even changed my itinerary at the end of the trip since I was having so much fun and he ended up taking me to a new location and essentially driving me all the way from Kigali to Kampala.
Elvis was kind enough to meet me at the drop off point to ask how everything went, and I genuinely wish I had better words to explain how fantastic the entire trip was.
Sam and I will be in touch for future adventures and I can’t recommend this company highly enough. Again, words fail at how wonderful this experience was, but if you are teetering between companies Lulu Safaris and specifically Sam are the way to go. Hope your next adventure is a great one!!

Professional, competent and passionate!
King Charles, simply the best! We couldn't have wished for better.
We (couple, mid 30) were on a customized tour (11days/10nights) end of January 2024, starting from Kigali (Rwanda) ending in Entebbe (Uganda).
From the very first sight our guide Charles gave us a very good impression. Coming from tourism industry myself, I know that the first impression is half the battle. Slowly we started to discover the amazing country (Uganda) and Charles’s virtues and qualities. As he studied geography, he has a very high level of expertise when it comes to fauna and flora, but also has a huge knowledge about climate zones, mountains, agriculture, culture and also about politics of his country. One of his passions are birds, and no one can beat him there.
Charles is a friendly, humorous, and talkative person who is highly appreciated by his clients and also by all his colleagues from other TO. He knows how to command respect, has great assertiveness is very resilient, patient and always on time. He loves his job and does it with passion. Charles definitely stands out of the crowd.
Before getting to Uganda, reading reviews about safety on the road, we were a little worried. Fortunately, Charles is an excellent driver, so we never had to experience fear. Even when we got stuck in heavy mud, he managed to get us out on his own. The Landcruiser we used was very comfortable, always clean, had binoculars and also books about Ugandan wildlife.
With the accommodation we were also very happy, in my opinion some of them were worth much more. The rooms were clean and spacious, staff was friendly and the food everywhere good or even excellent. The only negative was the laundry service at Chimpanzee Forest Lodge where we got back our clothes in xxs, with stains and all in pink, without price reduction for the washing or apology from staff.
What we liked the most, was the transparent communication and his attention to details. We always knew what to expect from the next day/s as we sat down together every evening to speak about issues, desires, and other needs. If there was a problem with something he spoke with us and gave us at least one alternative. We always knew what was going on, he told us a lot about what we saw and was always able to answer all our questions. He took great care of us, asking about toilets or food stops and even if we were on short time, he made us happy, by giving us more time. Almost from beginning we developed kind of telepathy, he always knew where we wanted to stop without communication.
Thanks to Charles we could make this amazing experience not only from the sight of a tourist but also from the sigh of a “local”. You enriched us greatly with your knowledge, but above all with your personal life stories, which were only possible thanks to the friendship and trust you gave us.
Thanks also to Elvis with who we organized the trip. Only advice I can give you, is to provide more information once the client has made the payment. As at some point I was doubting about the whole trip. Fortunately, then we had an informative video call and everything went perfect.

Amazing tour through Uganda with Lulu Safaris
I spend 11 days travelling through Uganda.
The communication before I started the journey was excellent. Elvis always came back to me very quickly every time I had a question and helped with everything he could.
Once I arrived in Uganda my guide Derrick picked me up at the airport and the journey began.
I really had the most amazing time in Uganda. Derrick was such an amazing guide, who took very good care of me and always went the extra mile to make this trip unforgettable.
He has such a great knowledge of the wildlife, the people and every aspect of this beautiful country that a visitor could ask for. There was nothing else that I could have asked for.
This was a trip that I will never forget - thank you Derrick!

Our guide, Charles, was fantastic. He came highly recommended and certainly lived up to reputation.
We decided last minute to book a trip with Lulu Safaris Uganda. They were immediately responsive to our requests and offered us a tailored itinerary to fit our travel dates. The communication throughout the booking process was smooth and timely. The once in a lifetime experience of seeing the mountain gorillas made the trip worth every penny. The lodging and accommodations in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest were amazing. We had beautiful morning views from our lodge balcony, and the restaurant was great. Our second night on Lake Bunyonyi was stunning. The lodge was a peaceful retreat following the long morning hike to see the gorillas. Overall, I highly recommend Lulu Safaris Uganda!

a trip full of once in a lifetime experiences
From the time I booked the tour, Elvis kept me informed of the plans and oversaw that everything ran smoothly.
The tour itself was amazing, from Kigali, to being amongst the golden monkeys and gorillas. It was breathtaking.
The accommodations were comfortable and welcoming.
The whole experience was made more fun by my guide: Derrick and driver: Smith. Both were enthusiastic, entertaining, knowledgeable, and happy to incorporate changes to the itinerary

Mountain Gorillas of Uganda
Lulu Safaris custom built a 5-day tour for us. One day with Golden Monkeys in Rwanda and two days of Gorilla trekking in Uganda. Herbert was our guide and he was wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about him. Such a beautiful country. We were there in dry season and had zero issues with bugs. Didn't need gloves, but boot gators were a good idea. Hotels were fine, food at the hotel was hit or miss (some great, some less than great), but our guide was fantastic - I learned so much and would be thrilled to do another trip with Herbert. Three pieces of advice for visitors; 1) buy candy (lollipops?) to give to kids along your drive. 2) take children's books to donate to schools. We visited a local Batwa village outside of Bwindi and wish we had better prepared with donations. 3) because we flew in and out of Rwanda and then drove across the border to Uganda, be sure and apply for a multi-entry visa.
