Amazing trip with an amazing guide!
We booked basically at the last minute and got several quotes, and chose Lulu Safaris because they were competitive and had great reviews. We are really happy we did as we had an incredible time on our safari. We even decided to do the gorilla experience a second time while we were there and Katto, our most fabulous guide, managed to make all the arrangements - which we were told by many people afterwards that it is VERY difficult to do and it only succeeded because everyone knows and loves Katto!
The entire trip was really wonderful, lodges that were chosen were fantastic, and each activity at or near the lodge was amazing. We didn't see very much of Rwanda, but we did do the golden monkey trekking which is honestly, just wonderful! An absolute must. The gorilla experience obviously is plain gob smackingly incredible. We spent most the 9 days in Uganda, and what a beautiful, wondrous country it is. We always felt very safe and Katto is very very knowledgeable about everything, including the politics of both countries.
I can't recommend the tour enough. It is not our first trip to Africa, but certainly one of the best. We will never be able to thank Katto enough for the wonders of those 9 days.

7-Day Gorilla, Chimpanzee Tracking and Wildlife Safari
Used safaribookings.com to get in touch with different tour operators, was promptly contacted by Lilu Safaris. They also answered very quickly to various questions we had about the trip.
We were picked up in Kigali (Rwanda) where the trip started with a Golden monkey safari, from there the trip went on to Uganda and a gorilla safari in the lovely Bwindi! After a few wonderful days in the rainforest, the trip continued to the Queen Elisabeth National Park with a game drive, boat trip and chimpanzee trekking. On the way to Kampala we stopped for an overnight stay at beautiful lake Mburu.
Rwanda and Uganda are two wonderful counties to explore, see lovely nature and meet nice people, and we really recomend to go there on your next trip to Africa! Very satisfied and happy about choosing Lulu Safaris Uganda and our guide Charles as our travel companions!

Reliable, professional and friendly
My wife and I went for the first time to Africa and definitely we would never find a better tour guide tan Lulu Safari. Every single penny was worth it!
Starting with the quick responses, very polite and professional during the quote process. We always felt that they were on top of our plans and when we asked for a change in our itinerary the answer came very quick.
Our flight got delayed by 6 hours so we communicated it and still they made it up to all our plans. Also in the middle of the trip WE decided to change plans and they were so accommodating and made all the changes within minutes (we went in low season). That make us feel so lucky to have them!!
Now for the 8 days experience, I am definitely speechless, the hotels they selected were top and luxurious… in all of them we felt like home, very clean and safe!
The safari was amazing, our tour guide Robert knew very well all the parks and had so much experience to spot the animals we went to see (and some we have no idea how he spotted them :)). The jeep we had gave us the real safari experience, it was very confortable for a 1.86 cm guy that i am and 4 wheel drive that is much needed during raining season. Also, everyone knew our guide so that made us feel very confortable and lucky to have him as a guide.
The gorilla trekking experience is TOP, we stayed 10 mins driving distance to the entrance of the park, once in the park we were with more tourist but have to say that Robert knew exactly all the procedures for registration, also he gave us some tips that were essential for an incredible day with the gorillas.
The food that was part of our package was always good. Most of the times we ate food in our hotels but couple of times we went to eat in local restaurants so we had the experience of the local cuisine.
Last but not least, shoutout to our guide and friend Robert. Since day 1, he made us feel like home, very experience and knowledgable about every single detail of our trip. Every night he explained us in detail the plan for the next day and during the activities he made sure we were his priority. We will be thankful for life with him for his kind words and all the effort he shows in daily basis.
Traveling is always better when you are with locals and this trip with Lulu made us feel part of the Lulu family!
If you are doubtful about a safari provider do not think about it and contact them!

Just WOW!!! Trip of a lifetime with the most amazing guides!
From the outset Elvis was super accommodating, very responsive and ensured the pre-arrival process was effortless!
I opted for the 10 days Safari. I shopped around and went with Lulus as there price was competitive and reviews were fantastic.
On day 1 I was met by the huge warm smiles from Samuel and Sara and that set the tone for the trip. The next 10 days were a breathtaking experience. I really wish I had longer. I was traveling solo so having such amazing and caring guides made me feel like I was at home in Uganda. The culture, people and natural environment was stunning.
I did a 8 day Serengeti safari after Uganda and it confirmed for me the diversity of landscapes found in Uganda, over every hill is a new and stunning natural phenomena. It is the pearl of Africa!
I will be back with my wife and the first thing I will do is contact Lulus! I would recommend you do the same

Great, above all expectations!
The experience with Lulu Safari was great! Uganda is truly the pearl of Africa, a daydream, a unique territory, where nature presents itself in all its splendor. We saw many animals: lions (even cubs), leopards, hyenas, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes, gazelles, hippos, crocodiles, chimpanzees. The gorilla search was a fantastic experience, truly incredible, in the middle of the jungle, and the family of gorillas we found filled our hearts. The lodges where we stayed were comfortable and clean, all set in beautiful surroundings, full of birds and plants. The staff was always friendly and understanding towards us. The rangers who accompanied us were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Our driver Samuel was fantastic, really kind and ready to satisfy our requests, always with kindness and a big smile. The entire organization of Lulu Safari (the movements, the entrance to the parks, the meeting with the guides, etc.) was precise, in fact practically perfect. I really loved this trip, every day was a huge surprise, it filled me with wonderful, unforgettable memories. All this thanks also to liulu safari and samuel!

Dreams came true!
If we put together an ultimate wish list before we went, we couldn’t have begun to imagine how much this would beat anything we could have wished for.
It all starts with the communication between ourselves and the Lulu Safaris team. Elvis answered every question and query thoughtfully and promptly, regardless of the day or time. He adjusted the plans and tailored them to meet our interests, which meant we included everything we hoped to (and more!)
Upon arrival in Rwanda, we were met by our guide for the duration of the trip, Charles. Wow, how lucky were we!
Warm, funny, helpful, knowledgable, there’s so much we could say about Charles, the King of safaris.
Charles was there every step of the way, helping us and listening to our interests and making it happen. Even though we definitely made him work very hard (day safari, night safari, and then repeat and repeat again) and there was little time for rest, he was always smiling and happy. Thank you Charles for enabling us to cram in everything we wanted. If you prefer a slower pace to us, this would most certainly be catered for too.
From an incredible gorilla trek where we came face to face, to a sleeping leopard right before us. With animals on the road as we drove, and beautiful sites during boat cruises. Walking safaris, golden monkey treking, chimpanzees and even reaching the equator point - we couldn’t have ever hoped for more.
Stunning views, wonderful lodges with the most incredible and friendly staff who became like friends, tasty food and a whole lot of photography.
We were fortunate to visit both Rwanda and Uganda on this trip. Both are beautiful places and we felt very welcome and safe. Most of our trip was in Uganda and we were so lucky to be able to explore the various landscapes and jewels that Uganda has to offer. Charles showed us these with pride which added even more to the experience.
Thank you and thank you again to Charles and the Lulu Safaris team for making this trip of a lifetime give us the goal of returning when we can. Until then, we have some stunning photos to remind us of this incredible experience.

Lulu Safaris provided amazing service with a wonderful tour guide, Samuel. Highly recommended!
Lulu Safaris is an amazing tour company. We are a group of 4 (2 couples) who did a 11 day tour with Lulu Safaris across Uganda. My friend and I planned an exhaustive itinerary and shared it with Elvis. He gave suggestions and various options w.r.t the order of game drives, night safari options, hotel/lodge recommendations, etc. The conversations with him over Whatsapp were very easy and it felt he understood our requirements really well. All communications were in English.
Quality of service: Our tour guide, Samuel is a wonderful human being. From the time he picked us up at the airport to the time he dropped us off at the airport, Samuel took great care of our group. He patiently answered all our questions (we asked a lot) and made sure we got food on time, restroom breaks, took care of our belongings at every stop and made sure our overall experience was first class. He provided a lot of information w.r.t game drives in Uganda and the various scenarios one could experience w.r.t animal encounters. Within a day or two, he understood our group dynamics and worked very well with all of us. He has more than a decade worth of experience and one could tell.
One of our members is a vegetarian and they ensured there were vegetarian options for every meal.
Value for money: We compared quite a few tour operators before selecting Lulu. They were a nice balance between comfort, flexibility and cost effectiveness.
Overall, Elvis and Samuel were proactive with timely updates on our requests during the trip. If you are booking with Lulu Safaris, ask for Samuel.
