Fun and accommodating of budget
We did the gorilla trek in Bwindi as well as a safari in Queen Elizabeth National park with Richard Mwesigwa, and we had a good time with him during the tours.
One important thing for us was that we wanted to do these things in a budget-friendly way and Richard was very accommodating of that by giving us alternative options that would result in cheaper options although we wouldn’t have some of the luxuries but all in all, we got what we wanted from our tours with Richard and we had a good time.

Great tour with competitive price
I did the a 3-days gorilla trekking tour with lake Bunyonyi with Musana Tours. Richard is professional, the communication wife
the booking was always swift, the price offered was competitive (esp. for solo traveller) and he always tried to accommodate the tour to my need. The itinerary is done efficiently with the first night stay in Bwindi so I didn’t have to wake up very early for the gorilla trekking the next day (as the lodge, which by the way is fantastic, is located close to the briefing point of the trek). The meals included in the tour were all delicious - which is a big plus.
Overall I can highly recommend Musana travel.

Professional, knowledgeable
I did a 21 day tour in January 2023 with Musana Tours. It was my second tour with Richard. The other trip was in August 2022 in Rwanda and Uganda. My 2023 itinerary was planned by Richard specifically around local culture and wildlife which he knew from the previous trip were my priorities. This trip was perfectly planned and I wouldn’t have changed anything. The lodges were exceptional and exactly the types of places I prefer. I love camping and we even got to stay in tents a few nights.
Richard is very personable and easy to talk to. He always made sure I was safe and had everything I needed. He has an amazing eye and can spot birds and animals easily. I had a short list of animals I wanted to see that I didn’t see on the previous trip. While wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, I managed to see those remaining animals. He knows where the animals are usually found and does his best to help you see them. If you are interested in birding, Richard knows many birds and is good at spotting them. We followed the itinerary , but the trip was never so rigid that we couldn’t stop to take pictures or visit the village children.
The trip started at Lake Mburo. From there I visited Lake Bunyonyi, Queen Elizabeth, a two night stay on a coffee farm, Murchison Falls, Kidepo, Pian Upe, Sipi Falls, and Jinga. I also spent a few days with the tribes of the far north of Uganda. It was an interesting cultural experience learning and seeing how they live. And lots of dancing with the tribes which was so fun.
I would definitely recommend Musana Tours for a trip to Uganda. Richard has a great knowledge and love of his country and it shows in his work.
I am already planning my third trip to Uganda.

Knowledgeable and experienced
It has been an unforgettable experience to trek mountain gorillas and go on a game drive looking for lions. Everything that I have experienced has been at the best level of quality and adventures.

An incredible gorilla trekking experience that I will never forget thanks to Musana Tours and Travel
The planning of the tour couldn't have been better tailored to my short period of just 4 days. This short period of time was perfectly organized and went exactly the same way. Starting with the pickup at the airport, all transfers, lodges and of course the gorilla trekking itself.
Communication was absolutely smooth and uncomplicated and an individual request on my part was also taken into account, which was definitely not part of the booked tour as standard (visiting the city of Kigali, before heading back to the airport).
All of this was available at the lowest price among all the offers I received.
I would like to briefly mention which lodges I stayed in, namely “Bweza Gorilla Lodge” and “Lake Bunyonyie Eco Resort”. These lodges were simply fabulous! With super nice staff, delicious food and fantastic rooms.
And also, a big shout out to Matiya, he got me everywhere safely and quickly and was a great companion.
All in all, I can 100% recommend Musana Tours And Travel! I always felt like I was in great hands, Richard and the entire team were not only very polite and courteous, you could chat with them about anything and have a lot of fun.
I would like to thank you for this wonderful experience and for making my short trip unforgettable.
Both Thumbs up!
