It was the most incredible experience of my life.
It was the most incredible experience of my life. Being so close to the gorillas, seeing how they live, is indescribable. My guides: Mustafa and Ashraf, were amazing, very attentive, we had a lot of fun (very important since the trip to Bwindi from Entebbe takes 11 hours)

Extremely organised. Excellent tour
The experience was amazing. Our drivers were extremely knowledgeable and caring. We were able to take incredible photos and enjoy being out in beautiful nature of Uganda.

An unbelievable week
I spent eight exceptional days in Uganda, with Chris, discovering the most beautiful places in the West of the country.
First of all, it was the meeting with rhinoceroses in a sanctuary. A fascinating moment.
Then the Murchison Falls park to discover lions, giraffes, antelopes, elephants, baboons.
Not forgetting the Nile Falls, seen from above, and in front of me, during a wonderful two-hour cruise to meet birds, crocodiles, hippos.
Then it was Queen Elizabeth Park to look for big cats: lions and leopards.
There too, a wonderful cruise on the canal between two lakes.
It was also an opportunity to discover how tea, coffee and bananas are exploited by the different communities.
Two highlights during this week: looking for chimpanzees, but also gorillas in the Bwindi forest.
The last stop was on Lake Bunyoni, a heavenly place.
Chris, the boss of the agency but also guide and driver did not skimp on his time to make me discover the most beautiful places and the most beautiful animals. He is very attentive. I note that he is also careful on the road.
He also knows like the back of his hand, all the hotels in the region and finds the best of them.

Great 11 days trip
I had a great experience with Native tours. The trip was organized in an excellent way, all activities and tours were planned perfectly and everything was smooth. The selected hotels and lodges were also of a great quality. Our guide and driver Chris went above and beyond to make sure our Uganda trip was one to remember and he definitely succeeded! I would not hesitate to recommend Native if you plan to visit this beautiful country.

Trustworthy, reliable, flexible and friendly
Discovering Uganda with Native Africa tours was a very good experience as a solo female and tailored private tour.
The quality of the lodges in general could really improve in relation of the price they asked for, specially when your money is not in dollars or euros. The food is fresh and the fruits are divine.
The wild animals in the parks are in very good condition, plenty food and water for them.
The traffic closer to the cities is very chaotic and the domestic animals greasing a long the road is very stressful for an animal lover like me. People are generally very friendly and try their best to please you. The gorilla trekking is an absolute must do in the life time, amazing experience and very well organised.
The Murchison's fall and the cruise on the Nile is definitely not to miss.
I'll definitely will recommend visiting Uganda with Native Africa tours.

Wow. A 7 day tour that was full of adventure, animals and excitement
I booked a week tour with Native Africa just 3 weeks before I headed to Uganda. This was a solo trip so I was a little apprehensive but this was the best decision and it really was one of the best holidays of my entire life. Wow Uganda is an absolutely beautiful country. Within a week we saw gorillas, chimpanzees, lions (killing and eating a buffalo), hippos, elephants and more. And this coupled with a friendly tour guide, fun (long) car journeys and excellent food. There are lots of long drives but the scenery is so beautiful and constantly changing and you take in the local way of life so I never felt bored.
As a solo female traveller I was instantly put at ease and I can honestly say I didn’t feel in danger or at risk once during my trip.
My tour guide was Johnson was excellent, he is kind, calm, fun and informative. Being just one person with one tour guide could have been awkward but he is good at figuring out the level of interaction you want for different types of people. He shared the local music with me for the car journeys and we had a lot of fun during the weeks tour.
The booking process was also very smooth and friendly. I reached out to enquire with my dates and some small preferences of what I was looking to do and very quickly the owner Chris came back with a proposed itinerary. He answered any questions I had quickly and put me at ease and we changed some of the plans together through simple discussion. For example of the accommodation looked a bit too budget for me so I suggested we upgrade slightly and this was also quick simple and easy. We also changed the order of the itinerary as the gorillas I had heard to be strenuous and I didn’t want to do that straight away after a long haul flight.
He also guided me through the visa process and what I needed to take with me for the trekking.
Everything we did was incredible but the gorilla trek was a real highlight. 9 hours trekking through the forest and seeing the gorillas roaming the mountains in action is something I will never forget. Be prepared this gets precarious at times!!! (Not the gorilla proximity but the trek through the impenetrable forest)

Native Africa Tours are extremely professional
I had the best time on the 3 day Gorilla trekking with Native Africa Tours. Chris was so helpful and organised. The accommodation both nights was absolutely stunning and the company showed great professionalism throughout. Chris even allowed me to pay on the day of the tour as I had problems with my bank back in the U.K. Thanks Native Africa Tours!

Reliable, trustworthy and SAFE.
I took an amazing once in a life time gorilla trekking trip with Native Africa Tours.
Communication was excellent before and during the trip. There was never a time I felt confused on what was happening or anxious about where my guide was. My guide picked me up and was by my side the entire time working hard to ensure I enjoyed trip. I really appreciated this since I was a solo, female traveller. I felt very safe with him by my side.
Transport was a 4x4 which turned out to be very important because the last kilometres to Bwindi are off road. Also, the driver having experience in this region is important as there are long winding roads which are kinda one way. On the morning of my trek there was extreme fog and the driver was able to navigate that based on his years of experience, driving in that region.
The itinerary provided before the trip was followed completely. And I was given everything I was entitled too.
Value for money was important to me, because I didn’t have a huge budget. My guide, Chris worked with me to ensure I was making the best use of my money. He also insisted I add a little, so I wasn’t dissatisfied with the accommodation. I’m glad I listened, both hotels were great. With amazing service and scenery. I was there low season so was given the best rooms.
All in all, don’t hesitate to book with Native Africa they’re trustworthy and extremely reliable. I HIGHLY recommend them.
