Timely feedback and communication, very supportive and good service delivery.
Maurice was very helpful in keeping the constant communication line and was very supportive. Jimmy our driver guide was very knowledgeable and was very known in most places that we went to. He always gave us a brief history about most of the things that are in Uganda. I generally enjoyed my 5 days tour and the experience i got with the chimpanzees of bwindi made the trip worth while.

Gombe Chimp Trek - Adventure for only the Most Adventurous
We had no idea what to expect and could never have expected our simple desire to see chimpanzees in the wild to end up being perhaps the most remote place we've ever been. Gombe Tours was very responsive and did everything within their control to ensure a smooth trip for us. Again, it is isn't there fault that there just isn't a lot out there on the internet about what is all entailed in getting to Gombe and what accommodations are like. Let me summarize. Getting to Gombe is about a 6-7 hour ordeal. You start from Dar es Salaam with a pick up from your hotel at 5:30AM and take a 2 hour domestic flight to Kigoma Airport which is a bush airport if you've ever seen one. Maybe a flight or two in or out the whole day. Car ride with brief detour at a tourist spot to a boat where you spend 2+ hours on a small boat getting to the park by water. The day we traveled was very wavy and our boat ride was longer than two hours and we arrived soaked. We received a warm welcome from a park ranger/tour host upon arrival at the park and shown to our tent, which was nicer than expected given how remote we were, but not the full "glamping" level that some may have come to expect on safaris. Meals were provided in a dining hall. And, of course, the highlight were the chimp treks. It's everything we could have wanted. Certainly one must be in good health to participate in the treks. At the end of your final trek, you are provided boat ride and car transfer to a hotel for a stay until your flight. There were lots of pieces, but Gombe Tours ensured that the pieces all occurred smoothly. In fact, there was a miscommunication at our hotel regarding what was included and both Joshua and our driver went over and above immediately to take care of it. If I had to be very picky, I'd say the one thing we understood was occurring was a car transfer upon arrival back in Dar, which didn't occur, but we're talking the difference of a $10 taxi trip.
If you choose to embark on a Gombe chimp trek, have reasonable expectations of your location, but trust that Gombe Tours will take the stress out of the planning and execution.

From the airport pickup to the drop offs, our trip to Dubai was great. We had a great time and the service providers were so nice to us.

Excellent, Fun, Precise , Helpful, Fullfilled my expectatives and more
Times has been difficult for everyone during this Covid Pandemic, but it was good to know that in the middle of chaos and confusions I had Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda, to hold my hand all the way with my travel plans and they were willing to make adjustments based on the circusmtances that rise during these time.
I spend a total of 7 days with the team traveling to what it has been a fantastic experience visiting National Parks in Uganda.
Not only the fact they took care of my needs but as a solo traveler it was great to have Guide Dennis as my companion and we had such a great time Touring and he became my shopping and photographer partner.
For sure Dennis went out of the way to make my stay in Uganda to be a dream come true.
I highly recomend Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda for any travel accomodations desired and more.
If you want to see the fantastics Places where I stayed you will be surprised.

Life changing safari experience!
Bud did an excellent job helping us plan the safari, and had excellent suggestions and answered our questions while planning. The experience was well taken care of and care free while in Kenya. We felt safe, cared for and educated while on safari. The tour operators became good friends that we stayed in contact with after our time in Kenya. We saw lots of animals and had great accommodations the whole trip.

Best Safari with kind and professional Crew
We had such a good time with Malisa and our Cook Dullah. Our Crew always had the best food, selfmade bread and 4 courses menü. The Tourguide Malisa was very experienced and his eyes saw so much stuff. He explained so much about the wildlife, birds and the nature to us. The campsites are very nice too and all people around very helpful. Right now due to corona there were less Jeeps in the Parks which was very comfortable.
We would do this Tour again and can highly recommend!!!

An epic adventure with Almighty Kilimanjaro
Reaching the top of Africa was not easy but worth it! The amazing Almighty Kilimanjaro team of guides and porters made possible achieving this goal with style. They went beyond keeping me safe and healthy; I was spoiled! I was provided with the best fresh food, a dining tent with chairs and table, warm water to wash, and my own private toilet tent. Their service exceeded every expectation and more.
Deciding to go to Africa in times of COVID was difficult. I am glad the fear didn't stop me from going. Being there at the mid of November was perfect -- with less people around it was easier to enjoy the mountain’s beauty, the quiet moments during the hike. Being away from the constant news, COVID case counts and mask wearing was a relief. Hakuna Corona!
I couldn't be happier about the outcome of my trip; visiting this beautiful country, getting to meeting the incredible people of Tanzania, and achieving my goal. It was EPIC!
Thank you Almighty Kilimanjaro for making this possible.
