Ultimate safari experience
I have traveled to Uganda now three time and would say that the service provided by Michael was outstanding. He is safe, friendly,reliable and above all the best wildlife guide I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. We will be using him again and will be recommending aroundafricasafari.com to all family and friends

They are extremely efficient and knowledgeable.
Around Africa Safaris was wonderful to work with regarding our itinerary, dates, changes, information, and details. Our contact person was Robert Nyeko. He is extremely efficient and timely. No matter the time, he responded to questions and concerns immediately.
Our itinerary for Rwanda and Uganda was extremely active with a lot of driving and sightseeing. The itinerary that Robert sent us was very detailed. He continued to send updated versions as we made date and accommodation changes. I worked in the travel industry for years and have traveled extensively, Robert is as good as it gets!
We traveled as a family of 5 adults. We were a “team” with our leader / guide / driver, Ambrose. Ambrose is incredibly knowledgeable about each city and park we visited. He is also knowledgeable about the facts of animals and countries in East Africa. We adored Ambrose instantly and our affection and respect grew from there. We looked forward to hearing everything he had to share. Some of our days and drives were long, but Ambrose kept us entertained and interested. Visiting the chimpanzees and the gorillas were all time travel highs. Uganda as a country is amazingly beautiful. I was mesmerized by all the green and mountains.
Anyone wanting to visit Africa, I will highly recommend Uganda as a must-see destination. It is still a little off the radar, which is in my opinion, the best time to explore places. We encountered very few tourists. The Ugandan people are friendly and eager to please. All of our accommodations were nice. The standouts were: Rwakobo Rock / Hornbill House, Karibu Guest House, Isunga Lodge and Rushaga Gorilla Camp.
If you are looking for a trip of a lifetime, contact Robert at Around Africa Safaris. Then be sure to request Ambrose as your team leader!

Wonderful trip through Uganda perfectly guided by David IJuka
We had a wonderful time in Uganda. Nature is astonishing, the people are friendly and the animals amazing. We had overnight stays in different lodges, each with their own assets. Our guide was able to get us safely from one destination to the other, despite the sometimes challenging trips. Big part of our superbe experience was thanks to him. David Iljuka combines large knowledge of nature and socio-economy, wildlife, history of the country etc. On top of that he loves to share it all and he fits in the group perfectly. In other words:if you are planning to discover Uganda and all of its treasures, we know who to advise as your perfect guide!

Short but excellent Uganda experience!
As part of our business trip to Uganda, Around Africa Safaris organized a short trip for us to Lake Mburo and Bwindi. David was our fantastic guide. Both places were more than amazing. With the very knowledgable help of David, we spotted over 100 species of (often very beautiful) birds. In Bwindi we spent 1 hour very close to a family of 16 gorilla's, chilling in the forest and seemingly interested in watching us (instead of the other way around). Truly a great experience. David was very helpful, punctual, knowledgable (he knew all the birds by name and sound and spotted them all) and he was very keen on pointing out things of natural and cultural interest and he introduced us to the Uganda Rolex food. He is also a great car mechanic so we felt very safe in his hands. In a few days he managed to give us a full Uganda experience and because of him for sure we will come back for a longer visit. Thanks a lot David!!!!

Best Safaricompany with specialist knowledge
We had an amazing trip with Around Africa Safaris last year in summer. We saw everything: lions, leopards, gorillas and visited some great community projects. Our guide Michael was superb. He answered all questions and showed us everything we longed for. The communication before and preparation was really fast and on point. If you look for a tour company for tours within East Africa choose Around Africa.

A very Professional Safari Company
We had an amazing Guide and Director (Mr. Okech) who did everything possible to make our safari memorable. We went to Uganda for the gorilla tracking. The guides on the gorilla tracking were so supportive. We saw so many gorillas and this brought some humor along the way. We stopped and looked at everything we wanted. We also visited the pygms and danced with them. We took some food to them.
The staff in the lodges we slept and visited were so kind and understanding.
Thank you Mr. Okech for everything.

Tailored to meet all our needs
Since our first contact for information via email, I was pleasantly impressed by Around Africa Safaris' prompt response, clarity of information, good value for money and eagerness to meet our needs. This is why we chose them over the other offers we received. It is always a gamble, but the tour turned out to be perfect -- from our first pick-up up to the very end. The driver was extremely polite and reliable, always available to respond to our queries and requests, very informative without being pedantic, friendly but never intrusive of inquisitive.
We really enjoyed the route taken, the scenery and all the animals we saw, and absolutely fell in love with the Katara Lodge recommended to us while doing the booking of the safari. Stunning location and accomodation. Had we known, we would have stayed an additional night!
Thank you again to the Around Africa Safaris team!

A dream came true!
We had the time of our life. On our 18 day's tour we were in the good hands of our driver/guide Katembo who showed us the amazing wildlife (the big five). Everything was well organized: the lodges, the game drives, the visits, ... The driver/guide Katembo told us so many thinks about animals, birds, the people, the way of life, ..., we learned a lot
Uganda is verry beautifull with kindly and friendly people. We felt us welcome and safe.
We will recomend every person who wishes to go to Uganda, Around Africa Safaris!
