Very interesting place to visit.
We traveled to Uganda in January to make a tour for two weeks with Maraka Tours and Safaris. We visited seven national parks and saw lots of interesting animals, especially birds, and plants. One of the highlights was watching shoebills in Mabamba swamp. We saw two of them and many other birds. Gorilla trekking was also quite an experience even though it was very hard to walk up and down in the muddy environment. Chimpanzees were also exciting to see in their own environment. All the birds: hornbills, turacoos, kingfishers, bee-eaters, storks, egrets, herons and many others were also breathtaking. In the last day of our safari we visited Rhino Sanctuary which was also a great experience. And wonderful butterflies in many places. The lodges we stayed in were mostly very nice and clean and the personnel very friendly and helpful. Weather was in Southern Uganda quite pleasant, in Northern part very hot. We were taked good care of and felt safe in all places.

A wonderful destination in every way
If you’re considering a safari, Uganda should be your top choice - it's a beautiful country in every way. Amazing food, diverse wildlife, friendly people and very safe compared to some other countries in the region. Weather and vibes are perfect, and Uganda offers some stunning accommodation options - whether that be in a jungle, by one of their enormous picturesque lakes, or out on the savannah. A highly underrated holiday choice!

I now know what made Winston Churchil say Uganda is the pearl of Africa, and he was right.
It was our first trip to Africa. We booked through Skyway Expedition in Entebbe and were thrilled. We felt absolutely safe at all times and warmly welcomed. The country is a wonder of nature, a treasure chest for nature lovers. I hope that it will be possible to preserve the diversity and to build up a soft tourism. The people and the country would be to wish it. I hope that I will soon get the opportunity to travel there again.

Awesome nature. And we had a safari at Murchison Falls as well. Brilliant experience. Uganda worth visiting
Unforgettable Trip
Uganda was lovely and much more breathtaking than I expected it to be, it’s less crowded than other countries in Africa what makes the trip even more unique.

Uganda is a vibrant, welcoming and peaceful setting for wildlife lovers.
Home to Africa has been very accomodating and has adapted to all of our requests when planning and budgeting. Our guide, Benon, was fun, kind, patient and knowledgeable. He made us feel very comfortable and was always on the lookout to make sure we were on schedule and had all of our needs met. We were able to see giraffs, zebras, hippos, buffalos, lions, monkeys, baboons, crocodiles, gorillas and many types of birds. The highlight of the trip was the gorilla treck in Bwindi. We saw the gorillas up close and it was absolutely breathtaking and humbling.

Uganda is an underrated destination, would deserve better publicity
We have been fortunate enough to book 2 safari experiences, one going through the Ziwa Rhinos sanctuary and Murchison Falls National Park, where we've been able to see very closely all big five, another going to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest where we have been able to observe a Gorillas family.
There are no words to describe how blessed we've been.
The 2 safari tour operators we used (East African Jungle Safaris & Speke Uganda Holidays) were fantastic : very responsive and professional, the drive guides were both very knowledgeable and friendly.
The local population (in Kampala as well as in other locations) is very welcoming.
We highly recommend Uganda as a destination, both cultural and for its wildlfe.

Uganda is a land of contrasts- stunning beauty abutting abject poverty. Wonderful people and places.
Uganda has amazing places to see and people to meet. It is a land of contrasts. We love going there. World class highlights we have seen include the gorilla tracking, Lake Bunyonyi, the source of the Nile at Jinja, and Murchison’s Falls national park. Please take time to talk with the people about the lives they lead and the challenges they face daily. Tip generously- they need it! Our Speke Tour to the gorillas was an absolute highlight. They could not have been more helpful with planning and our guide was fantastic.
