FANTASTIC and emotional trip to Oeganda and Tanzania.
Our trip to Uganda and Tanzania can not be described in one word. It was incredibly beautiful, impressive, remarkable, sometimes tiring but most FANTASTIC !!!!! What have we seen a lot. In our list of most exciting trips also takes this top position. We have many preparations have to take, and sometimes quite a bit of abdominal pain had what we would find here and we would not be one if we would get one or the hotels would be okay as well, well, well, well okay to eat sick .................................... ..and of all these obstacles, we are not one come against.
We made the most extraordinary journey of our lives. What have we seen a lot. Face to face with an almost extinct species that appear to be very friendly and showed us an hour of their lives The mountain gorillas. What an impressive and special experience. This allows almost anybody. And then the baby chimps hug in Entebbe Zoo. I get now a lump in my throat as I write about it. The unconditional love that these little monkeys give you the childlike enthusiasm and affectionate behavior still make me goosebumps. But the immense power that the lion showed when she killed a wildebeest, just before our eyes, or the huge spectacle of migration.................I can not describe.
Uganda, a country in the infancy of tourism and thus vernacular so fun! Small hotels with exceptional friendly people who really want to do it to go to please your needs. Before you Children who are the dislocated wave as you pass by car. It's just a hot tub! Presumably we have seen in Uganda may nearly purest form and it will be there in a few years or else once tourism is really taking off, but we thought this was the most fun. When we flew from Uganda to Tanzania we said on the plane together "what Tanzania can offer us even more, we have already seen so much beauty." But it is Tanzania succeeded! Again we spent a fantastic time. Unfortunately, the country has much more habituated to tourists and you notice that that makes it less pure. But absolutely no less beautiful. And impressive.
I can also say everyone from the bottom of my heart; would you EVER in your life a special trip, I say DO !!!!!!! Do not be afraid to disease, bad food or a variety of other nagging you all those fears in one fell swoop forget if you can behold. All this beauty here I feel like a lucky women that I have experienced it with my dearest friend, buddy and man.
Thank you, Eddie.

On of a lifetimes experience in Kenya - safari, trekking, boattrip, relaxing and private visits!
My husband and I had a fabulous vacation with lots of great moments.
A mix between Kenya highlights - Masai Mara, Kibera, Karen Blixen, Mombasa, Naivasha, Malindi and Nairobi - and private visits because our daughters one year stay in Nairobi.
To explore the traditional turist spot was outrageous!
Must important was to get a understanding of the real Kenya - daily life and the population.
Lamech Magaki made it all come thrue!
He has an fantastic ability to "read our minds", we enjoyed and appreciate his humor and professional skills.
We felt safe with Lamech and because of him, we had the best vacation ever!

Our excellent tour guide and driver took us on a wildlife safari that was a trip of a lifetime.
We were very satisfied with Bright African Safaris. We saw lots of big game, and beautiful scenery. Our guide and driver (Juma) was excellent. Not only was he very knowledgeable about wildlife, he was friendly and eager to take us everywhere to see the animals at the best possible locations.

I could not have imagined a better company with better tourguides
Traveling to Uganda? This is why you should consider Cul Tours!
I have been travelling a lot as a backpacker, I aim for the real, cultural and local experience. In a country like Uganda you need a "key" to enter these local experiences and get heart to heart with the people and their culture, and for me, this key was Cul Tours. I have never met a guide, let me say human being, that was so eager to provide the ultimate customer service, so caring and flexible to my wants and needs!
Communication is straight forward and fast, the company is run by Ugandans. It's definitely possible to stitch together a tour that suits you with the things you find most interesting - on a side-note I recommend to discuss with them and listen to their recommendations, they really do have vast knowledge of Uganda.
I asked for local, I got local! They took me to dance in a village, had me taste all the wondrous and peculiar foods, took me hiking in Sipi Falls and Mount Elgon - dined with a local family, drank locally brewed traditional beer (was even offered the full ceremony including circumcision, but humbly turned down the offer). Walked through a fishing community, tasted their dried fish and embraced all the curious and excited children that rarely see white people... I slept in clay and straw huts, they're fantastic to sleep in because they're cool in the nights.
I visited orphanages, there's a particular one in the West Nile Region in Koboko at the border of South Sudan and Congo that stole my heart.
I also went for the safaris, and they are as you might expect if you've watched National Geographic, Animal Planet etc., amazing experience - though you do see many tourists, you don't see them much when on the actual safaris and it doesn't feel crowded, unless it's the boat safari.
When it comes to expectations, I must say they were not only met but exceeded. There are other, larger companies in Uganda but the word goes they're too mainstream and boring, with Cul Tours you'll be sure to be in for an extraordinary experience.
I'll visit Uganda again, and I'll ask for Cul Tours' guide Stephen - the most sympathetic, understanding and smiling man of Uganda.
Love, Martin

Stephen the founder of Cul Tours, simply the best!!!
A few years ago we've met Stephen on the fair in Belgium, he was a guide for Matoke, he persueded us to come to Uganda. Once we were in that beautiful country we saw Stephen several times, always friendly and ready to listen. The people who he was guiding were very satisfied with him. Now he has his own compagnie Cul Tours and Safaris, and I'm shore he is the best guide you can have! When we go again to Uganda we will definitely go with him!
