Unforgettable Uganda Trip – February 2025
Our seven-day tour through Uganda was an absolutely unique experience! From breathtaking wildlife encounters to fascinating moments in nature – every day held new highlights.
Right at the beginning, we had the incredible opportunity to see rhinos up close at the Rhino Sanctuary. In Murchison National Park, we witnessed Africa’s wildlife in all its glory: lions, giraffes, elephants, buffalos, hippos, and even a hyena crossed our path. Another highlight was Kibale National Park, where we had a close-up encounter with chimpanzees in their natural habitat. But the absolute highlight of the trip was the gorilla trekking in Bwindi National Park – an unforgettable and deeply moving experience.
A huge thank you to our amazing guide, Rachel! She drove us safely through the country, shared fascinating insights into Ugandan culture and daily life, and made the journey truly special. Everything was perfectly organized – from the accommodations to the well-planned itinerary.
This trip was a dream come true, made possible by excellent organization. We can highly recommend it – an unforgettable adventure!

Great tour with Chris Sanyu of Native Africa Tours. He was considerate, knowledgeable, honest, caring and an excellent driver. We all loved him.
The tour included all hotels, meals, tours and transportation for the 5 of us in a customized safari vehicle for 14 days at just $4,500 (without airfare) per person. Itineraries can be designed around your interests and time available. Highly recommend Chris and his team if you want a fabulous Africa adventure.

By Far the BEST Africa Trip I've Ever Taken
I have been to over 15 different countries in Africa and done over 17 safari’s. I’m gonna tell you right now that my trip With Native Africa Tours has been my all-time favorite experience I’ve ever had in Africa.
The team worked one on one with me to be able to make sure that they created the perfect itinerary to meet all of my bucket list experience requirements and make my Africa trip come to life.
We visited Uganda, Rwanda, and DR Congo, and they made all of the border crossing processes super easy and seamless. I also got to do my first ever walking safari, and let me tell you, it was so cool to see animals very up close and by foot. Their transportation/safari vehicles are super comfortable and modern and make the drive very enjoyable, considering you might have a couple of hours of long driving between destinations. Native Africa Tours also organized some amazing hotels for me to stay in. One of the hotels even had a pool where the animals would come up to the watering hole, and it was located in the bush. It was such a cool experience to enjoy a luxury hotel with wild animals hanging out around the pool. My guide ensured that I could see all of the animals I wanted to see in Queen Elizabeth National Park. When I went to the Congo, it was such a safe experience. They organized everything for me, from the border crossing to the amazing gorilla trek. The Rwanda portion of my trip was very nice and relaxing.
As a remote worker, they also accommodated my every needs and made sure I was back by a certain time to start work and had high speed internet throughout the entire trip. I appreciated that so much
This 10-day trip I took was truly an adventure and a dream. The staff at native Africa Tours is literally the best, and I would not recommend any other company more. When I say this is by far the best safari trip I’ve gone on, I mean it. Thanks again for creating the best trip of a lifetime! I can’t wait to come back

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)

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.
