AA Safaris & Tours - 2 week wildlife adventure
My sister-in-law and I returned home 2 weeks ago from our wonderful dream of a lifetime adventure. It all stated with communications with Sydah who looked after getting us organized with all the information for immunizations, currency, dos and don'ts. Thanks Sydah you really helped us get it together. And then there was Joseph, our guide, who met as at Entebee with a big smile and huge welcome after our 2 days of flying to get there. Throughout the whole 2 weeks we couldn't have asked for anything better. Joseph looked after our every need, want and desire and kept us and our belonging safe. We were never worried or concerned about anything. Joseph is very knowledgeable about the country, each Kingdom, the wildlife and birds. We saw and did more than we could have wished for. Joseph helped us with exchanging our money, getting our phone, sims card and figuring our how to make phone calls home. He gave us tips on what to eat and what to stay away from. Advised us when it was okay to take photos of people and when it was not - very helpful. We even stopped at the Rino sanctuary which was not on the itinerary which is really a must go to. Each wildlife game ride was exciting, beautiful and educational. We also did the Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi. I was a difficult trek in the forest but with the experienced guides and highly recommend porters we got to see and sit with the Gorillas for an hour. After leaving Bwindi and getting to QE park I realized I had left some valuables in Bwindi, Joseph was immediately on the phone and organizing getting it to Kampala so I could get it back before leaving for home. Amazing! Never expected him to do that and never thought it possible but he made it happen. The people of Uganda are beautiful, welcoming and just plain sweet! Thank you Joseph for being such an amazing host and making our time so remarkable and unforgettable.

Efficient , responded quickly and were very friendly.
Booking the reservation was very efficient and when we arrived in Africa I found I really didn't need to worry about making arrangements and changes from a distance. Our guide , Joseph Lubega, was with us from the start . I will not hesitate to recommend him to friends going to Africa with AA Safaris . His knowledge of animals , birds , people, history and language was more than we could have hoped for . Anticipating our needs, making sure we were comfortable ,had our favorite fruit and helping us with banking and postal services made our trip so effortless. Even recovering a camera battery that was left miles behind. Keeping us on a schedule was no easy task! But he did it calmly and with kindness. We asked him to stop at the rhino sanctuary and he reorganized the safari around this to make sure we didn't miss anything. The sanctuary was one of the highlights for me and I will be forever thankful to him for that .I always felt we were safe while travelling with him.
Our husbands weren't able to join us and , during our phone calls ,we were honestly able to assure them we were safe and in good hands.
Please add my name to your web site as a happy customer that will answer questions to those considering travel with AA Safaris.
Thank you all for my trip of a lifetime.

Once in a lifetime!
I would highly recommend AA Safaris. From pick up to drop off everything ran very smoothly and according to itinerary.
Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to assist with any queries we had.
The tour itself, 4 day Gorilla & golden monkey trek (Uganda + Rwanda) is a great mix to really maximize your time in that part of the world.
I would not hesitate to send friends, family, colleagues etc to travel with AA in the future. They really do care about their customers.

Exceeded our expectations
We did a 10 days safari that took us to trek gorillas, see wildlife and also the Batwa community. Our guide Joseph was extra ordinary caring and always made sure that we were happy. He was also flexible with us given the age of my mother. The vehicle was a 4 wheel drive with air conditioning. We paid for a budget trip, and expected basic services but all the services where topnotch. Thanks to Sydah in the office who guided us well in organising the perfect first African trip. I highly recommend AA Safaris and tours ltd.

An amazing 6 nights / 5 days with Chris, "Where your dreams will come true"
Before arriving into Uganda, I had no interaction with AA Safaris. My first encounter was with Marcy in Entebbe and then with Chris when he picked my daughter and myself up at Kihihi Airport.
We had a great time with Chris. He was extremely knowledgeable, polite, respectful and entertaining. He shared all his knowledge and experiences with us and we also exchanged cultural stories. Chris definitely looked after us on our gorilla treks and made sure we would be okay. He also helped us go shopping to buy food items for a community and then drove us about an hour from Bwindi Headquarters to the village that we were taking the items to. On our behalf, Chris kindly shared some words of wisdom to the mothers, the children and the Head Teacher.
Chris helped make our 5 days in Bwindi amazing and we couldn't have done it without him. Thank you Chris and we look forward to keeping in touch.
Chris is a huge asset to AA Safaris and you should be very proud to have him in the Company.
Quote, in Chris's words : "I will make all your dreams come true". Which he did and will now get a t-shirt.
Once again, a big thank you to everyone involved in make our trip so wonderful.
Cherie and Elissa Clover
P.S. We also saw Chris dancing at the start of the trekking and in Chris's words, he is very good.

AA Safaries & Tours provided excellent service, I managed to see all what I wanted in just 5 days
Sydah was extremely helpfull and patient in long email communication with me. I was well prepared and knew exactly what I want to see, but I had practically only 5 days in Uganda. My programm was intensive but in spite of long distances I managed to visit schimps in Kibale forest, I saw differents species of monkeys during Bigodi swamp walk. I hade unforgetable gorilla trekking in Bwindi. I did community walk in Bwindi and got aqcuainted with local people and their traditions. I saw liones relaxing on trees in Queen Elisabeth NP, as well as many other animals there. My driver and guide Barnabas was great! He is so professional, carefull, helpfull. Many thanks to him!
All hotells was chosen by Sydah and they were really very good, I could not wish better. Everything was so good that is feels almost unreal but it was true. I am very happy with my travel to Uganda and hope to make a new trip with the same company in near future.
