Good safari on a budget
SCB Tour and Travel offers a safari experience at a price that’s more economical than most other operators. During the planning phase, Salomon was incredibly helpful and precise in recommending the perfect itinerary. We were fortunate to see all of the Big Five, thanks to their expertise and knowledge of the best routes. Having two guides was a bonus—one focused on driving while the other spotted animals, making the safari even more enjoyable.
However, there are a few areas for improvement. Time management could be better, as we missed two sunrise safaris and only saw the Ishasha sector briefly. Communication during the trip was also lacking. It would be great if the guides engaged more with guests during long drives. Additionally, a couple of the hotels didn’t meet the expected standard for European tourists, so I recommend reviewing these and considering changes.
Overall, I would recommend SCB Tour and Travel, but keep these points in mind to ensure an even better experience.

Posted on Aug 28, 2024thanks for your review and advice ,we shall do work on the time management ,though we had a great trip where we did spot everything from spoting a leopard go up the trip with a kill and of which the pictures where even posted on the ugwildlife instagram and Facebook pages and credits were given ,to lions ,elephants ,gorillas ,chimps ,giraffes among others .we did miss one sunrise game drive at Murchison Falls Np due to the heavy rain down pour and we did compensate it with another game drive aft the rain before we did leave the park for Kibale ,
then when it comes to Ishasha sector its a brief pass through because we had spotted a male lion on the tree the previous day from the same sector and also the safety of the place
we managed to even get a glimpse of a lion hunting in Murchison Falls
