Professional and easy to deal with
We had a great experience from start to finish with Lulu safari. Elvis was so helpful in the organising of the trip and answered all questions we had. We were grateful of being assigned Derrick as our guide. He really took care of us the whole trip and made the experience as seamless as possible, especially in those stressful places like crossing the borders.
It was a real drama losing our luggage at the airport and we lost time from our trip having to retrieve it, but Derrick was so patient and got us back to the airport and then safely to our next stop in Uganda before dark.
All the accommodations we stayed at were beautiful and the staff at all of them were amazing. We just hope that they will be busier at other times of the year as they deserve to be.
We left Rwanda/Uganda with great memories and it was truly an experience of a lifetime seeing the gorillas. We only wished we had more time, but all the more reason to return.

Exceeded all of our expectations
I've seen "trip of a lifetime" mentioned a lot here in the reviews and honestly that is the only phrase I can think to use to express how amazing our trip with Lulu safaris was.
We visited Rwanda & Uganda on the 6 day Ultimate Apes Safari trip. The itinerary was made up by Elvis and sent to us for perusal. Elvis was very professional and prompt throughout all communications, and we always felt assured we were dealing with a professional company before embarking on our trip. Worth noting is that the itinerary was totally open to changes or tweeks, so knowing that the itinerary was flexible was great.
We began our trip by meeting our guides Audence & Ben at our hotel in Rwanda and instantly we felt their enthusiasm and friendliness shine through. Both Audence and Ben were so knowledgeable, accommodating and professional - we can't say enough positive things about them! We always felt excited, comfortable and ready for adventure in their company. Our time together was full of excitement, learning and laughter. We felt that they genuinely really wanted their clients to get the most out of their experience. We certainly did, and we will always appreciate that.
We are home a week now, and consider ourselves very lucky to have left with such amazing memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. And we thank Elvis, Audence and Ben for providing the amazing platform & outstanding service to allow that to happen.
10/10 would recommend this company to anybody considering a safari trip!!

Trip of a lifetime
I cannot express what an amazing trip we had with Lulu Safaris, it truly was the experience of a lifetime. We spent 6 days with our guides Audence and Ben (trainee), and our activities in Rwanda and Uganda included gorilla, golden monkey, and chimp trekking, safari, water cruise, lake Bunyonyi, Kigali city activities, and much more. Everything about the trip exceeded our expectations. The beauty of both countries is outstanding, and Audence and Ben were generous in sharing their great historical and cultural knowledge of their countries. They were excellent guides in every way, and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience at all times. We always felt extremely safe and well cared for. Needless to say, the trekking activities were absolutely incredible, to see these beautiful animals in the wild was a dream come true. At every point in the 6 days we thought it couldn't get any better, yet somehow it did! Communication with Elvis in the run up to our trip was also very smooth and he answered any queries we had quickly. Overall, we could not recommend Lulu Safaris more. If you are thinking of booking a trip, do it! And ask for Audence and Ben, you won't regret it ☺️

Look past the ONE bad review in TripAdvisor and look at the MANY great reviews!
Jun 2024 • Solo
I booked my trip May 13, 2024 for a June 2024 trip with Lulu Safaris Uganda not knowing much about their company other than their SPECTACULAR reviews. When EVERYONE is giving great reviews it says a lot about a company. I do remember seeing that ONE bad review on TripAdvisor from Madjula. There’s always one bad apple out there. When looking for a GREAT COMPANY to use for a safari or gorilla tracking don’t base your decision on this bad review. Look past it like me as there are MANY spectacular one’s. Mine included. I’ve traveled many times to Africa doing safaris and climbing Kilimanjaro. I can’t stress enough how important it is to judge for yourself when reading reviews. Had I not booked because of her bad review I would’ve missed out on a once in a lifetime adventure. In reading ALL of the reviews the guide she mentions as terrible was talked about positively in MANY of the reviews. I personally find it horrendous that such a negative review was given. An unhappy person trying to pull everyone down.
As for my review: it was nothing but exceptional. I booked my trip on a whim and Elvis, the owner of Lulu Safaris, was terrific. I changed my itinerary last minute and everything was still okay. He and his wife had my permits within a day. I did the gorilla habituation and regular tracking on my trip. It was a dream come true. As for air conditioning as Madjula complained about was no big deal. It’s Africa! You’re here for an adventure not to be pampered as if you’re in your own country. Live life and roll with the punches. Of the two hotels that I stayed at one had ac and one didn’t. Oh well! The one without was Bweza Gorilla Lodge. What the Lodge had was great people. Gavis and Judith made me feel so welcome and cared for. We had fires at night and had good fun. As I said, air conditioning isn’t a big deal. The fresh breeze was beautiful! The people make a difference not air conditioning. As for my guides I can’t say enough good about them. Charles and Stuart are their names. Incredible people! Charles is wise, super funny, a comedian, a dancer and an all around great person. He loves his job and communicating with his clients. It definitely shows. Stuart is a great photographer, soft spoken yet knowledgeable about many things. He’s caring and quite thoughtful. He gave me a gift at the end of my trip that is so meaningful. I will remember these “FRIENDS” for a lifetime. I tracked the gorillas with Stuart and he took many beautiful pictures of the trip. I’m truly going to miss the fun times! But as we all know all good things must come to an end unfortunately.
I’d like to thank Elvis, his wife, Charles, Stuart, Gavis, Judith for making my trip to Uganda very memorable. So much so that I cried at the end of my adventure.
I can go in and on but the moral of the story is that Lulu Safaris Uganda is a great company with great guides. They’re professional, funny, caring and love what they do!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Seamless Adventure!
We had a great time with Audence as our guide. He was thorough and most importantly safe. Helped us with border crossing into Uganda, provided plenty of water, and tips on how to manage the Gorilla hike. Highly recommend!

Fantastic trip to Uganda
My tour to Uganda with Otis was amazing. I booked a tour to do gorilla and chimp trekking and both activities did not disappoint. I also visited Queen Elizabeth National Park and Lake Mburo. As a solo female traveler Otis made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
