Punctual, experienced and professional, a very nice meeting with Francis !
5-day safari in Murchison Fall with transport, unique and exceptional moment! Fantastic landscape and wildlife!
Francis has a very long experience as a guide and has a great knowledge of animals.
Very well organized safari with a quality service in general. The lodges are very luxurious and the organized outings allowed us to live unforgettable moments with our three daugthers.
We had a great time with Francis and we recommend him without any hesitation.
We wish him every success for the development of his activity.

Francis and Nature Connect Safaris provided a perfect trip of a lifetime for our family!
From the beginning contact setting up our trip, to drop off at the end of our safari, Francis at Nature Connect Safaris offered top-notch service. Francis responded quickly on WhatsApp and by email with clear communication and great options to personalize our safari any way we wanted. We were able to have a private safari that had everything each of us wanted to do and see. We really packed a lot in our 3-day safari and Francis worked hard the entire time; nonetheless, we never felt rushed or too busy because of Francis’s great planning and flexibility. Francis is an exceptional host making sure we had the best views, sights, and experiences; he went above and beyond for us throughout our trip. Our food and accommodations were great and he takes care of his vehicle to make sure we were comfortable for the whole ride. Uganda is a beautiful country with lovely people and Francis helped us to have a full and wonderful experience getting to know its beauty and people.

Great service
We're really happy about choosing Nature Connect for our trip. Sorting out the details and booking was a breeze, thanks to Francis who was super quick in getting back to us and making sure we were in the loop. All our hotels were amazing.
Richard, our tour guide, was an absolute rock star. He filled us in on everything we wanted to know about Uganda and its culture, had the lowdown on all the landmarks and wildlife (even the birds!). If you are vegan, don't worry, Richard made sure that each hotel knew ahead of time our requirements. We mainly opted for local dishes, it's so good that you won't want to leave the country!
The only thing that held us back from a full 5 stars was the vehicle itself. We ended up spending quite a chunk of time in there and ran into a few minor hiccups. Still, on the whole, I'd totally give a thumbs up to this company.

Francis was absolutely the best, knowledgable about Ugandan culture and wildlife; a wonderful host!
Travelling with Nature Connect Safaris Uganda was one of the best experiences I've had! This was my first time visiting a country in Africa and it was absolutely spectacular. Francis really earns all of the credit, he managed to design a tour that really fit the balance between a classic safari while also incorporating cultural elements that were absolutely unique. He additionally knows his country like the back of his hand, and was able to answer any question I asked with clarity and detail; trust me I had a lot of questions but recieved even more answers! The safari was very secure, we felt safe the entire time. Additionally we were able to see so many things in just 13 days from Chimpanzees to gorillas to lions and leapords; from traditional dances to the cultivation of coffee and the preparation of banana gin. We were also able to see the diverse geographies that Uganda has to offer, all of which were thanks to the wonderful tour organized by Nature Connect Safaris Uganda.

Outstanding made the trip and my 70th birthday very memorable.
I have taken other safari tours in Africa, and this is the best company. Well organized, communicates and responds to WhatsApp quickly, excellent value for tour plan, exceptional accommodations and a private tour. They were also very flexible to change plans while traveling to accommodate our personal interests such as visiting the cultural and people of Uganda. Our tour guide and driver Francis was very polite, good driver, always 24/7 to meet our needs or answer questions, had close relationships with the park rangers, very friendly and became one of our family members! If you are going to visit Uganda hire this company.

Very experienced safari tours operator, with very pro-client attitude and competetive fares.
This safari operator communicated trought e-mail and whatsapp. After initial inquiry regarding pricing and itinerary, we agreed on proposed plan of our 8-days safari and accommodations. All accommodations that were chosen for our stay were simply perfect. We traveled during low season, so national parks and lodges were not crowded, in one case, we have been only guest in superior lodge in Queen Elizabeth NP. Our guide Moses was always supportive and managed to drive long distances in good mood and very safely. As our car, we used Toyota Land Cruiser with pop-up roof, and our comfort during travelling and safari was extraordinary. When we had some free time in the afternoon, he was always ready to give us some advice about what to explore, and some of these unplanned tours were the best part of our stay. For the choice of restaurants for lunch, because meals were included in our package, we would welcome some better places. Overall, it was an amazing experience and we really value Moses' expertise, driving skills, language skills, organisation and reliability. Communication with Francis was also perfect.

The perfect trip
From first communications with Nature Connect Francis was excellent. Sorting the tour for us and organizing our pick up. He gave us all the detailed information we needed for our trip to see the Gorillas.
Francis was very friendly knowledgeable and always on time. He made the journey from Entebbe to Bwindi very interesting with his local knowledge. The lodges used on the tour were fantastic and the information Francis gave us about the Gorillas before our trek fascinating and informative. The recommendation for a porter to help us on our trip was priceless. We would not think twice about recommending Nature Connect and have recommended them to all of our friends. We feel very lucky we found Francis. We feel we have made a friend and memories for life.

Very flexible and enjoyable experience
Lots of patience displayed both in person and via mail answering all our requests to tailor the trip to our exact needs. My family of four including a 9yr old and 2yr old were able to handle trip out to ishasha. The planning was great, and small things like taking us to the East African market at the end of the safari, and quick stops by crater lakes and tea plantations really made our experience special. Special thanks and regards to Francis our guide until we meet again. Love Zepha & fam.
