don't get what you pay for
we cannot recommend yebo, they sold us a chimp tracking which took place outside (!) of the parc which seems to not even have been official ( legal??), paid 70 $ for it without seeing chimps, and in the afternoon of the first day we didn't even enter the parc for a game drive as promised. However, the parc entry fees we had paid for that day weren't returned, and Yemen refused to speak to us when trying to solve that "misunderstanding". Also he lied to us about closing times of parc gates trying to get us to stay another night at his camp. Stay away from yebo!!

great tour
I chose Yebo as tour operator for Murchison Falls; they offered (very full) one day programs starting from Masindi, which seemed the best deal. After arriving in Masindi I could book the tour for the next day. I expected both accommodation and food to be much more basic than they were in reality; both were excellent. The first night it was uncertain if I could do the game drive alone because of a ferry problem. But the next day there was no problem: I had a completely private game drive with an expert guide who drove me past lots of animals. On the same day I did a boat tour to the bottom of the falls from where I hiked to the top with lots of photo opportunities. All in all it was a great tour which even exceeded expectation.

Decent driver and lodge, very rude boos
We picked Yebo tour to support local tourism in Masindi. It was also one of the cheapest solution we've found. We thought to go a bit rustic on accommodation and transport, but we ended up having a stupid discussion about the already agreed on price. We paid in dollars, as agreed, and they started complaining something about the different exchange rate they were given. Still not sure how that would be our problem, since we had our entire booking discussion in dollars, the boss decided to close our discussion walking out on us while we were still talking. The rudest thing I've had in 40 days in Uganda, ridiculous.
The driver was nonetheless a good driver, safe, very good at spotting animals.
The car was old, with a broken window, 2 doors that wouldn't open from the inside, hanging handles, extremely dirty back seats and back window and a couple of alive chickens traveling with us in the trunk, which was actually fairly fun!
The Yebo lodge is generally speaking decent, for the price paid, placed close by both the game drive ferry and the boat ride. In our room, the toilet was leaking water and the door couldn't close. the net was slightly too small for the bed and the sheets were placed in a heart shape, which is cute, but it also meant we had to do our own bed: in between sweet and unhandy, I wouldn't know what to choose! Food is not good, one of the worse I've had in Uganda. The staff is nice and kind.
