Uganda is a superb experience.
We were doing an 11-day tour from Murchsion Falls NP, Kibale, QENP, Bwindi to Lake Bunyonyi. Worth every minute. Our tour guide must have one of the safest pair of hands in East Africa. Amazingly different landscape over relatively short distances. Animal Safaris were great- you’ll never step into a zoo again. Food and accommodation of very good Standard. If time and budget allow, Kampala really deserves a few days exploration. Highly recommended.

Awesome introduction to Africa
This was my first, but probably not last, trip to Africa. We were able to see animals infrequently enough to keep us on our toes, but often enough to make every moment worthwhile! Variety was limited, but the scenery was beautiful and weather was too - warm, often hot during the day, comfortable at night. The safari tents were a wonderful experience where we could hear animals (and see some too!) while feeling safe and comfortable. Food was middle of the road overall, but the fruit was phenomenal! Fresh pineapple, bananas, mango, watermelon every morning! The highlight of my experience was our Matoke tour guide Caleb. He taught us about Ugandas turbulent history, its culture, and his hopes for its future. He was funny and accomodating and even set us up with local guides for extra tours. I cant say enough good things about Caleb!!
Unforgettable experience with the best safari guide in Uganda.
Once we came to Kampala we were very lucky to have Twaha as our guide. Twaha is the coolest and nicest guy and he is an amazing driver (people would bet that we couldn't get through certain tough spots during our safari, but Twaha just surprised everyone with his driving skills).
And furthermore he has extensive knowledge about wildlife and was a great guide. On our safari we were very lucky to see many birds and animals, among them were antelopes, buffalos, elephants, hippos, monkeys and even tree climbing lions in Ishasha plains. It was an amazing experience! The big highlight of our safari was of course the Bwindi forest Mountain Gorilla

trekking. That part of our safari can't even be described in words, but it will forever be an unforgettable experience. Wild jungle Trails Safaris had also picked only great lodges for us with amazing views and great food.I would like to particularly mention the Silverback lodge in Bwindi was our favorite. The view from our room was just breathtaking. All in all we would definately recommend Wild Jungle Trails Safaris to anyone who is going to Uganda. And also we would like to add that Uganda is a wonderful country with amazing safari experiences, great food, very friendly people and breathtaking nature and wildlife. Would love to go back some day in the future. Thanks again Wild Jungle Trails Safaris for a wonderful and unforgettable experience!
Best regards, Luks and Mark.

A Dream fulfilled
The rainy season had come a little early so there were lots of adventuresome road driving due to washouts etc. but my guide/ driver was awesome. Nothing seemed to phase her. The accommodations, although basic due to where we traveled, were always clean and serviceable. Staff at the various places were always helpful, polite and friendly.
Many of my friends say that I was brave for traveling to Uganda and Kenya on my own but due to the professional experienced treatment I received from my safari company

and the genuine kindness of the Ugandan people, I can honestly say that I never felt threatened or unsafe. If someone is looking really experience an African country , not just view it, Uganda is the place to go!

the country but they're doing constructions to fix them. We went at the beginning of the rainy season and really didn't have any major issues. We had one day of rain but it didn't hamper our plans. Most days we just had 30 minutes or so of downpour and then it cleared up. What an experience! I highly recommend Uganda and Destination Jungle!
Beautiful sceneries
Our first trip turned out to be a wonderful experience thanks to the very good organisation through Baba Safaris Uganda. We saw them all, Shoebill, lions, leopards, buffalos, mountain gorillas, chimps. Our driver was, beside being a very skilful and experienced driver, a walking dictionary when it came to questions about fauna and flora, about history, politics and culture regarding this wonderful country. He knew it all. A good choice of lodges and a very professional planning and organisation makes us looking forward to going back for another trip through Baba Safaris Uganda for another exciting trip. Still lots to discover !

Had a wonderful time, had a great guide and enjoyed the sights.
Meet at the airport by my guide Apolo. Was very well taken care of. The lodging was adequate and the food. Was very good. Everyone at resort was very accommodating. Got to see lots of wildlife but missed seeing any lions. Taken back to airport and then on to Kampala after safari. I was only one on safari and could not have felt any safer.
Uganda is definitely worthwhile to visit.
"E-Trip Africa" was fabulous. Ben, the owner, was great to work with. He was so helpful in suggesting variations from the suggested plan. Milton, our driver/guide was excellent. We have traveled many times and at first were a little nervous going with a company that the only information we had to go on was that we had gathered from the I/N. Everything went so smoothly. Milton was so efficient, knowledgeable, and took such good care of us. The scenery was great, both the Chimpanzee and Gorilla treks were outstanding and all the accommodations were very good. Great choices and well researched by the company. We had plenty of good food and a never ending supply of bottled water. We were very sad to leave Milton after 7 days as during that time we felt we had made such a great new friend. Ben, the owner, even made a special trip to visit us at our hotel in Arusha, Tanzania after our tour with his company. We would highly recommend E-Trip Africa for any East Africa Travels.
Murchision national park
Very good to see giraffe and elephants.but has a small population of loin. Still uganda needs to improve service sectors. People attitude about giving service to customers are lagging. They think only about to grab money.
