With Francis, most exciting wildlife experiences and relaxing tour of the awesome beauty of Uganda.
5/5

The company booked our trip swiftly and provided all the detailed information that we needed. Our very professional and exceptional guide gave us thorough information for the days activities and was always punctual. He spoke clearly and knowledgeably.
The tour was followed according to our plan, however, Francis was willing to add a few more ‘gems’ to our daily plan which made our experience in Uganda a most wonderful one.
All in all a most delightful experience that we were wished would never end.

Staying in the Nature house
5/5

Everything was fine. I felt like I’m near a real nature world. Felt so comfortable and peaceful to stay in hotel with Ugandan food. I woke up early morning and went out to the safari. Unbelievable live animals and beautiful green zone. We don’t need to say anything. Just listen and see the nature what they are.

Thank you for all arrangement and guide us for safe trip. I wish I can visit again to see elephants next time. Yap.

A summer in the beautiful country of Uganda
4/5

To start off- Safety was a big concern when we first arrived but we were taken care of and guided very well by Mr. Francis, a tour guide from the company. It was overall a culturally enriching trip, we got to see a lot in very less time, which was good. The overall plan for the trip was good and we thus made it possible for us to fit a lot of activities that interested us. Highly recommend this service.

Francis Rukundo found the animals!
5/5

The experience that took my breath away was watching a lioness feed. But my camera and I got to see so many additional things and animals that were magnificent. Our guide Francis Rukundo was patient with my goals. My experience with Africa was a photography dream come true. More importantly, my respect for the magnificent landscape and the animals that call it home encouraged me to have a more proactive attitude about helping to preserve Africa's treasures.

Francis is a wild animal magnet!
5/5

We had an extraordinary safari in Murchison Falls National Park with Francis Rukundo, founder of Nature Connect Safaris Uganda. He not only had an uncanny sense of where to find wild animals but he was very knowledgeable about the behavior and habitat of various species. He also respected the animals and tried to make our impact on them and their environment minimal. Having said this, I got the best photos of lions I have every taken anywhere in Africa, particularly a female eating an antelope at sunset. I marveled at the fact that he was able to spot a leopard in the bush that was incredibly well camouflaged.
In addition to his ability to ferret out elusive creatures, Francis is very affable. We felt so comfortable with him, it was almost like he was an old friend. We asked a thousand questions and he patiently answered our queries. He is proficient at speaking English and can tell you about cultural and wildlife issues. He provided us with excellent service and we were always excited to see him. I look forward to traveling with Francis again someday. I highly recommend him and his company.

An unbelievable cultural experience, breathtaking vistas, and magnificent wildlife!
5/5

We loved our experience with Nature Connect Safaris Uganda! Our guide was Francis. He made us feel welcome and safe, and could not have been nicer.

The food and accommodation were beyond our expectations but what really made the trip was our guide.
Francis went above and beyond at all times to make our trip spectacular. He was knowledgeable about wildlife and gave us a local’s perspective of the country.

The pure beauty of Uganda was breathtaking, from the power of Murchison Falls, to the ruins of Pakuba. What really made it an unbelievable experience was the friendship, warmth and generosity of the Ugandan people. We highly recommend this company. Ask for Francis, he’s more than just a guide, he’s a wonderful ambassador for Uganda.

an unforgettable experience with one of the best guides
5/5

We were able to go on an unforgettable tour with Francis or Nature Connect Safaris Uganda. Francis our guide was not only a perfect guide and perfect driver but he also became our friend. He looked after us lovingly at all times and my young children in particular found him simply phenomenal!
Ere spared no effort and always gave us the perfect photo opportunities and we were able to learn a lot from him about Uganda and his own not always so happy earlier life.
We will never forget our time with Francis and we will never forget Francis!
Thanks Francis!
