Amazing destination, can't recommend it enough.
Uganda is a fantastic travel destination offering amazing scenery, plenty of wild animals to see in their natural environment and really nice people. I felt safe all the time and in certain places the level of professionalism was better than in countries that are considered more traditional destinations. I stayed in superb lodges. I love the fact that Uganda really cares about their nature and their animal and uses them with respect to attract and host tourists. Among the animals that you can see in large numbers: giraffes, hippos, elephants, zebras, antilopes , empalas, buffalo and of course the chimps and gorillas.

An amazing green scenic country
An extremely well organized trip from the staff of Dav Safaris. Everything was set perfect, accurately and safetely.
People of Uganda is extraordinary smiling and welcomming.
The experience in the Gorilla Safari was thrilling and unforgettable.
A country green and lush, helpful friendly people, amazing birdlife and animals
A green and lush country at all times of the year. with helpful and friendly people. There is huge variety in the countryside from the lakes of Mutanda in the southwest to the plains of the north, the unusual crater lakes. The birdlife is amazing so much variety - many types of kingfishers and every other bird. Of course seeing the Gorillas and chimpanzees is a highlight and few other countries can offer this. The game parks have a wide variety of life and the river trips are well worth it. Also Rhino walking trips. Altogether a wonderful country to visit. African adventure vacations with Mustafa as the guide were terrific

Exceeded my expectations
Uganda exceeded my expectations. It was quite clean and organized and very very indeed very much green! And that pleased me much. Many nice places to go: Islands in Victoria and bunyoni lake among others. Of course traffic is a big problem, especially if you can not use a Boda Boda (motorcycle táxi)

Uganda is rich and diverse in all it nature.
My trip to Uganda was drying the month of April. I was told it was going to be raining but quite the opposite happened and it turned out to be mostly sunny the entire week.
I did my tour with Home to Africa and my tour guide was William. The tour company was great and flexible around my timings and requests.
I managed to see everything that was offered and more. Uganda a is rich is its nature and diverse in its wildlife. I particularly enjoyed all my stays as all the lodges were accommodating and the people are ever so gracious. The food is over flowing and flavourful and I only wish I could stay longer.
I especially enjoyed the majestic elephants and the Gorillas. The country certainly has an abundance and co exist freely especially in todays world.
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip in Uganda and am certainly looking forward to my next trip back.

Majestic
The gorilla Leisure Lodge is the absolute best lodge to stay at for the Gorilla Trekking. It's the same price as all the others but since it has only been open since Nov. 2022 the facilities are still like brand new. Everything about it was like a 5 star hotel ... food - 5 stars, Service - 5 stars - Accommodations 5 - Star.
And the Gorilla Trek is indescribable. No words will be able to do it justice.

Totally awestruck
Uganda was a perfect Safari destination for us - lush green scenery, friendly people and the Big Five plus gorilla trekking. We chose to go low season for less crowds and cooler weather which was perfect. Our tour operator Kajie Safaris put together an itinerary for the ‘big loop’ including rhinos, Murchison and QE NPs, Kibale and Kabale, and Lake Mbaro. They also included lots of boat trips as we love being on water. All of the lodges they chose were beautiful, fantastically located with helpful staff who made our stay perfect. We loved travelling through the local villages and driving on the red, pot-hole full roads as well as past papyrus, tea, banana, sugar cane plantations. The local food was great and so was the food offered at the lodges - fresh, organic and well-cooked. Can’t wait to go back.

Everything you’d want in an African experience at a great price
I lived in Kenya and spent time in Southern Africa and I can honestly say Uganda exceeded my hopes. It is currently the only country where you can almost definitely see chimps, gorillas and “the big five” (elephant, rhinos, buffalo, lions and leopards ). Murchison Falls was my favorite park but each had something to offer. QE river boat ride was fantastic and of course seeing chimps and gorillas was a life dream. You must be reasonably fit for gorilla trek due to altitude and steep terrain. People were wonderful, lodges and service were excellent. Plus small tour companies so you can travel just with yourselves (couple or even single) without breaking the bank. I would recommend Uganda to anyone interested in a safari (unless you want ultra luxury ). I’m going back.

EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS!
I spent 12 days in Uganda as part of my trip with Speke Uganda Holidays and they were without doubt the best days of the trip! Uganda blew me away with its diverse natural beauty. Africa's tallest mountain range, the snowcapped Rwenzori Mountains of the Moon, the vastness of Africa's largest freshwater lake, Lake Victoria, the River Nile that begins its journey through the country to the Mediterranean Sea. Not forgetting the spectacular Murchison Falls, Bwindi Impenetrable primeval Forest, expansive savannah plains in QENP, Kigezi terraced hills (Switzerland of Uganda). It's stunning! In the midst of all these you encounter all the wildlife you can ask for..Mountain gorilla, chimpanzees, lion, elephant, hippo the rhinos at Ziwa, leopard, zebra, giraffe, Pumba and a giant bush pig, all the different antelopes and so many birds I got hooked on to bird spotting! :) The people of Uganda warm and welcoming, the climate was perfect for me, hot but not too hot and no rain. Comfortable lodges in beautiful locations.
It was a trip of a lifetime and I shall definitely return to visit more.
