Friendly, amenable and knowledgeable - Nick Brant.
Wow! If you only ever go on one safari in a lifetime this is the one to go on. Our tour surpassed all our expectations and has now spoiled us for any other adventure we may go on. Nick planned the itinerary with us in mind after various discussions and emails. However he left enough jiggle room so that we could alter our plans if we wanted to.
We used the Pajero which was expertly kitted out and we slept in the roof tent - my husband soon became adroit at packing the tent up ready to leave. I can only assume it is even better now (if that’s possible) as Nick has sent us some photos of his Hilux.
We visited all the National Parks and saw 4 out of 5 of the Big Five. However one of our highlights was seeing the schubill in the marshes near Entebbe - a must for everyone, not just bird watchers. In total we saw over 150 different species of birds.
Nick chooses his guides carefully and they were all friendly and knowledgeable.
I would highly recommend this one of a kind safari.

Awesome
This was a very personal experience Nick is really knowledgeable and great fun. Saw all the wildlife you could want. The Gorillas were amazing and a must visit. The more people that go the more they are protected. Nick tailors the trip to your requirements for a very reasonable cost. It was the experience of a lifetime I was hoping for definitely recommend Meanda Uganda.

Unforgettable 11-Day Safari Tour with Meander Uganda
Unforgettable 11-Day Safari Tour with Meander Uganda
My recent 11-day safari tour with Meander Uganda was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived until the day we departed, Nick, our tour guide and organizer, provided exceptional personal service that truly made this the best holiday ever.
Nick's attention to detail and genuine care for our experience was evident throughout the trip. He expertly managed all the planning, leaving us to simply enjoy the adventure. We shared our interests, and Nick curated an itinerary that exceeded our expectations.
Uganda's scenery is breathtaking and incredibly diverse. Our journey took us from the stunning crater lakes to the vast savannahs, lush tropical rainforests, and the majestic Great Lakes. We also experienced the vibrant urban areas with fantastic nightlife, adding a dynamic contrast to our trip.
The highlight was undoubtedly our visit to the mountain gorillas in the Impenetrable Forest. Walking alongside a troop of chimpanzees, encountering elephants, and observing the unique tree-climbing lions were unforgettable experiences. We were also thrilled by the sight of graceful giraffes, diverse bird species, and playful hippos, which quickly became a favorite.
The overall experience was enhanced by Uganda's moderate climate—neither too hot nor too cold during our visit. The local people added a warm and welcoming touch, making us feel at home in this beautiful country.
The trip offered excellent value for money. Nick's organization skills relieved us of any travel stress. He took care of every detail, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the experience fully.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Meander Uganda and Nick's outstanding services for anyone seeking an unforgettable safari adventure. It was an incredible journey, full of remarkable wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, diverse environments, and warm hospitality. Thank you, Nick, for making this the best holiday ever!

Meanda Uganda is the best choice for your adventure tour in Uganda
I had a fantastic adventure experience with Meanda Uganda. Nick Brant can make your tour unforgettable ! He can literally tailor the perfect tour according your needs.
Together with another two skilled motorists we made a loop for 6 days , 1400 km riding adventures bike!! Yes , you read well! Meanda Uganda can organize tour also with adventure bike!! Every day we reached the camping point with alternative routes mostly off-road trough forest, mountain and beautiful wildlife. Meanda Uganda followed us with truck (when possible) as back up in case of problem with bikes . Bikes are in perfect condition didn’t need any rescue.
All camping sites are equipped with showers and toilets. Sleep in the tent or in a room on proper bed is your choice.
Meanda Uganda provides any stuff you need! Tent and sleeping bag . The truck is fully equipped with kitchen to prepare delicious meals in the evening and enjoy the time around a fireplace . Uganda is an incredible green country with beautiful people I never felt in danger.
The service and cost of the tour depends on your request, where to sleep what eat , what visit, some national parks are not free. Meanda Uganda in the person of Nick will make you happy to spend your money in best way price is honest and adequate.
Meanda Uganda is definitely the right choice for a perfect adventure tour !!!

The most incredible experience of my life
Genuinely one of the most unforgettable 2weeks. From beginning to end the whole trip was full of memories and made to be exactly how we wanted and what worked for us! Not a thing I would change. Thank you so much Nick!

Life Changing Tour
Hard to adequately describe the epic tour, that fully captures the excitement and exhilaration, that was run by Meanda Uganda. Nick, our tour guide, could not have provided a more interesting, challenging, rewarding, educational and, literally, life changing experience.
Without providing a full map of Uganda we basically covered the full list of National Parks and links between. Nick was as hands on or light touch as we needed, skilfully assessing our experience and confidence (which grew daily) without ever over stretching us. We managed to see close up the 'Big Five', which I am certain was down to Nick's local knowledge and extensive research, and no doubt we would have completely missed on our own.
From the start we felt part of a new family group, with all home comforts provided as part of the package. Early breakfasts watching the sun rise, travelling to each checkpoint with full commentary of the local areas, parks, history, wildlife, evening meals around a campfire under the stars is an experience never forgotten.
I can’t recommend Meanda Uganda more highly if you want the full ‘once in a lifetime’ experience.

Nick was an excellent guide, with lots of local knowledge. He is a great people person!
I had an excellent 5 day experience with Nick which worked out incredibly well from the first moment on. I trusted Nick to take the lead and had previously only mentioned my interest in visiting the gorillas. Through discussing with Nick I learnt of how incredible the pearl of Africa really is and realised that I needed to do at least a five day trip to make the most of my time in Uganda.
I felt safe with Nick as soon as I entered the car and he took great control of the journey. The camping was more luxurious than I imagined and I even had a shower which comes out of the back of the van!
I am sure I brought the luck of the Irish on the trip as I had close encounters with lots of animals including the tree climbing lion and shoe bill bird. The highlight of my trip was the visit to Kasenyi fishing village where during our camping we came in contact with a school of 14 hippos and a family of 6 elephants around our campsite! I would definitely recommend Nick as a guide and I hope to do another tour with him soon!

Creates the we experience of a lifetime
Nick Brant fully involved us from the outset in putting together our target locations to visit and through the trip checking what we wanted to do next. He always gave us recommendations and options based on his experience and was flexible for example about whether we camped or stayed in lodges.
Amazing highlights included: being woken to the sound of hippos around us; wild camping guarded by a ranger with a fire through the night; walking by chimps in the rainforest of Kibale and watching a female chimp groom her young; the overwhelming power of Murchison Falls; seeing elephants drink and crocodiles bask in the Kazinga Channel. We also saw, at close quarters, a leopard, lions, rhino, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, a huge range of birds and a massive snake glide right up to our 4x4!
