They shared there passion and love for Uganda throughout the entire trip.
I had never been to Uganda or Africa for that matter and had no idea what to expect. I knew Nick previously and knew of his taste for adventure so I knew I would be in good hands. The trip started well in advance of the arrival date with discussions of what I would like to see and experience and what I wanted to get out of the trip. A few Skype calls and exchanges of information and the dates were set. I arrived and was picked up at the airport and directly to the guest house for the first evening, dinner at the best Irish bar in Entebbe and an early start the next morning with Nick as our guide in the 4x4. Our trip was conducted over 8 days, and started with Lake Mburo Natioanl park full of wild life on every turn. Next day was on to Bwindi Impenetrable Forrest passing through towns and villages, and a visit to the gorillas which was booked in advance for us. The following days rolled on with river and park safaris accessed by dirt roads, some right off the beaten track, amazing view points, and wonderful wildlife encounters. Our nights were spent either camping in luxurious roof tents, some opted for ground tents and some nights in lodges, mostly in National reserves so super safe and exciting. Overall I have to say Nick brings a wonderful insight to this amazing country, with his in depth knowledge of its history and its nature. It was more like a road trip with an old friend, discovering this wonderful place. We did a clockwise trip passing lake Edward and lake Albert, experiencing Muchinson Falls and wildlife park and cutting across to Ziwa to see the Rhino sanctuary and crossing the Nile at Jinja. There is so much to see an do and no better person to go on this adventure with than Nick and the Meanda Uganda Team. Our overlander vehicle was incredible well equipped, with a fridge and freezing, cooker and shower, so meals were a joy, and nothing better than enjoying a sundowner with ice and lemon in absolutely the middle of nowhere. Thank you again.

The BEST trip ever
Me and my daughter had absolutely amazing experience! Nick made customised trip based on our availability and wishes on what we would like to see and to do.
First night we went to Lake Mburo with the hippos and had BBQ under the stars, next day to Bwindi Forest, over the mountain tracks to Ishasha and last day at Queen Elizabeth National Park game drive.
He's vehicle equipped with the kitchen, outdoor shower and roof tent. So, you have all comfort needed with you in a wild. But there is always an option to stay in the hotel overnight.
Highly recommended guide, with dip knowledge of Uganda (sides, culture, etc.) and just wonderful person that really cares about people.

Great, funny and tries his best to make the experience magical
I would recommend the experience of camping. If you can do it for longer, that would be amazing. The different locations that you will be able to see by sleeping in the most scenic environments is unbelievable.
Nick did everything in his power have us see as many animals as possible on the Safari by take non topical routes. Along with his great suggestion we managed to see more of Uganda in 4 days.
Thanks Nick for the great experience!

What an absolutely fantastic adventure that was very well organised.
Our adventure was absolutely amazing from the moment we arrived in Uganda. Nick and the team had put together a challenging and all encompassing tour which took in most of the National Parks. We got to see so many animals and over 100 species of birds during our adventure. The administrative arrangements were first class and Nick had thought of every eventuality. The vehicle and accommodation were excellent and Nick adjusted the program to take account of what we wanted to do. Thank you again Nick for a superlative tour and I really hope that others join you on a life changing adventure.

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 !!!
