Organised operator, excellent guides
I chose Lulu after shopping around a bit and finding that they were well priced and, importantly, incredibly responsive. I chatted to Elvis on WhatsApp and he very quickly prepared detailed itinerary documentation based on my needs, including a few iterations.
From an excellent start, the tour itself only gets better. I meet my two guides, Simon and Simon Peter in Kasese. They have just such a great energy. I honestly cannot recommend them enough. The vehicle is clean and comfortable.
Over the next 6 days we have such great adventures. Each of the activities was so much fun. The chimp and gorilla trekking delivered in spades. All the time my guides are keeping me informed on the natural and cultural phenomena of Uganda. When we share meals (I was travelling solo, so very happy for the company!) we laugh and joke and just have such a great time.
At every point Simon and Simon Peter make sure I’m comfortable, have what I need, and am well informed about the plan for each day. They are both professional and personable - and I’m happy to call them good friends after our time spent together.
Overall, I would happily book again with Lulu. They were fantastic :)

Fantastic tour and amazing experience
We booked a 2-day gorilla trekking experience with Lulu Safari. Elvis made the booking process easy and efficient. We maintained communication over the months leading up to the safari and he patiently responded to my random questions and eased my concerns more than once ;)
The day of the tour, our guide Smith was prompt to pick us up from the hotel in Kigali. He was friendly, warm and welcoming from the moment he introduced himself. The drive was long but he offered so much information about the culture, stopped for photos and always asked if we needed a break. He was accommodating and entertaining throughout the drive and it was appreciated. He was an advocate for us in immigration and got us through the line and process quickly.
The gorilla trek accommodations and permits were all pre-arranged for us by Lulu Safari and the process was seamless. The gorilla experience itself was absolutely amazing!
Based on my experience, I highly recommend Lulu Safari and suggest asking for Smith as your guide!

Complete, attentive and caring
My mum and me traveled around Uganda for 10 days. From the day 1, our guides Samuel and Simon were the most attentive guides we could ever ask for. The trip was flexible so that we could fulfil our expectations despite very very few encounters with the heavy rain expected during this month. Nonetheless, we enjoyed so much our trip. It didn't only meet our expectations but overcome them.
Of note, it was my birthday the first day of the tour, and they even got me a cake. This is a small sample about how sweet they were.
There was a bit if miscommunication about what we thought it was planned and what it was actually planned for us, but our guides made everything possible so that we could actually enjoy all the activities we had in mind.
We not only enjoyed but also learnt a lot about the animals we encountered. And also let's not forget about birds, which were among the main characters of our trip and about which our guides knew so much.
I would definitely recommend to visit Uganda, it is indeed the Pearl of Africa, and also, Lulu Safaris to show you the treasures among its land.

Fantastic experience
Smith was such a great guide; professional, knowledgeable and accommodating.
We booked a customized 2-day trip, with one day gorilla trekking (2 nights at a lodge). Initially we didn’t have much planned for the drive there and back, but Smith organized activities on the way such as the Batwa village, stopping at a tea plantation, the local market and a stop at a local restaurant.
We had such a great time throughout; and the Gorilla trekking was absolutely amazing (one of the coolest things I have ever done).
The cultural experiences on the way were also interesting, and Smith really made the experience feel personal (we even got to meet his parents). We felt really well cared for!
Strongly recommend booking the trip with Smith! We just wish we could have stayed longer…

Excellent communication and accommodation!
We booked a stay at Buyala Bliss through this company and we’re very pleased with the logistics. The location was perfect and we had a very relaxing weekend. I would definitely recommend booking through this company.
Thank you!
