Oops, I fell in love with Uganda.....
Before I went to Uganda, I always drove a car by myself in different country's. I really thought that I could drive in Uganda too, but my friend who's living in Uganda did advise against. She recommended Dark Hills, so I listened to her. Couldn't be happier after all!
I went with a group of friends. Our driver, Robert, also involved to our friendship. Everyday Robert was happy and in time (not Ugandan time). We traveled all around the country and saw the most beautiful animals. Dark Hills helped us out to plan this trip, to listen to our wishes.
The traffic in Uganda is crazy! But every minute in Robert's car I felt safe. He is a really patient and well experienced driver. Couldn't do it better myself.
The most wonderful thing we did was the Gorilla tracking. It was a long drive from Kampala, but totally worth it. Also on the way to Bwindi we saw a lot of beautiful things; different types of nature, impressive neighborhoods, animals and big hills with gorgeous views I can't even describe in words.
That friend of mine who is living here, which I write about before, asked me for yéárs to come over to here. I wish I had done this sooner, because I really fell in love with this country too. If you ever doubt about going to Uganda: GO FOR IT! And ask Dark Hills for advise.

Best trip ever - after this you will know why Uganda is called the 'Pearl of Africa'!
Me and my friends had a great trip to Murchison Falls. To see the animals in the wild was amazing. There are many possibilities to see the park and the animals (morning safari, night safari and even a boat safari). It never ceased to amaze us!
Our ultimate goal was to see the big-5, and we did! The combination of murchison falls and the rhino sanctuary was great, as the only missing animals of the big-5 were the rhinos (they are not present in the Murchison Falls national park).
Dark Hills created a custom-made tour for us and helped us achieving the best vacation ever. The driver was really nice and we enjoyed his company, we felt really safe while he was driving us all through Uganda. And he helped us spot all the animals (which is sometimes a lot harder than you think!
Thank you Dark Hills for creating the best holiday ever, you are a big part of why we fell in love with Uganda. We will be back!

Would 100% recommend Dark Hills Uganda
My friends and I came to Uganda to visit Murchison Falls, Jinja & do gorilla trekking. Dark Hills custom-made a tour for us, exactly how we wished it to be and within our budget. We had an amazing time. Robert is really experienced and seems to know all the corners in Uganda. Besides that, he is the best company to have and is jolly!
I highly recommend a night safari in Murchison Falls as an additional activity, where we were able to see lions from up close during their hunt for their dinner. The boat ride in Murchison was also great and got us very close to big schools of hippoes, Nile crocodiles and the massive Murchison Falls itself.
It was our dream to see the big five and we spotted all of them on the first day, so amazing!
All by all we had the best trip ever and would definitely book with Dark Hills Uganda again. Gonna miss you guys!

Loved the Equator Experience!
Great communication from the very beginning. Everything explained and clear. We did the Equator visit. What a fun experience!!! You get to stand on the Equator line, watch a live presentation how the water rotates in different directions depending if you stand in southern or northern hemisphere, and you can get a certificate that you’ve crossed the Equator (for a small fee). We’ll be back for more adventures. Definitely gorilla tracking.

Tailor made tours with a great guide
Very good value trip to a rainforest with an excellent guide who showed us the fauna and flora. We went to the source of the Nile on a boat and also had a ride on lake Victoria. We had lunch overlooking the source of the Nile, where the Lake forms the River. Also went to some lovely waterfalls and saw monkeys up close.
