Great wildlife, less crowded than Tanzania, stronger bush vibe than Namibia, great place for safari
Murchison Falls NP: great sceneries and game drives, lots of animals, especially giraffes. Navigation to Murchison Falls was definitely good both for sceneries and animal sightings (birding too). Accomodation and food at Red Chili Campsite were good (and the beer cold!).
In both parks we were accompanied in our game drives by rangers,

Uganda - the undiscovered beauty
We operate together with the inhabitants of a small village north of Mityana a humanitarian project in Uganda to improve their lives sustainably. In 2009, we have for the first time together with our children (teenagers) Uganda. An absolutely worth experiencing country. In Kampala, as in many cities of other developing countries to feel optimism. In the country however, the time has stopped and the people live largely in poverty and subsistence agriculture. It is striking that all the automotive business of Indians and Pakistanis can be controlled. The chinese start the exploitation of large oil deposits seen in the northwest. therefore, the roads built in the resource-rich regions very well. European hotels are found only in large cities. But who can get along without electricity and warm water does not necessarily need to take a shower, can also opt for an African hotel.

A beautiful country inhabited by freindly people and amazing wildlife.
The next day we boarded a small boat for 1 1/2 jaunt down the Nile river where we saw Crocodiles,hippo's and even more elephants. Wer also saw many types of birds and monkey's as well, all in all no shortage of interesting things to see. Our guide was very knowledgable and freindly and our tripe ended at Murchison falls where we then turned around to head back. Unparalleled beauty!

That afternoon we went for one more trip into the bush with Simon and saw Lion tracks. Excellent trip and I'd recomend it to anyone.

Many animals to look out for all in one country!
I stayed in mid range types of accommodation ranging from bush lodges to tented (luxury) camps. They were a great way to live 'with' the environment and was a great experience.
We used a Ugandan safari company called Kazinga Tours for our stay in Uganda. The vehicle was perfect for the four of us for safari drives and normal travelling. Plenty of room in the van for our luggages and personal space. Highly recommend Hamid if he is available for your trip. He is a 'senior guide' with knowledgable guiding and experience under his belt.
There are plenty of animals to see in Uganda. Many bird species, lions, leopards, elephants, giffafes, zebras, warthogs, antelops, buffalos, gorillas, chimps and many many more!
We also got to experience the Nile River

by rafting category 5 rapids. We went with the company, Nile River Explorers.Would recommend going later in the dry season as the change from wet to dry is still not stable. Maybe around Aug/Sept onwards.

Great trip in early May
I planned my trip using Safari Bookings and chose Semu Gorilla Safaris and Tours. They were excellent. Be sure to check out what wildlife you would like to see as each National Park is different.

Uganda is truly the pearl of Africa
Named by Winston Churchill himself, Uganda more than earns its legendary nickname. Tucked in the heart of East Africa, it is one of the continent's most rewarding and diverse travel destinations — compact enough to explore thoroughly, yet rich enough to fill a lifetime of adventures. I witnessed this during my Fam trip when I had an Idea of starting a tour and travel company, we visited different destinations like Bwindi for Gorilla trekking, Kibale for chimpanzee trekking,hiked Rwenzori mountains, Murchison falls national park among others, all the Uganda'' people are welcoming from different cultures

The most surprising, beautiful, vibrant, friendliest country I've ever allowed to visit

hike. We were lucky to not walk a long distance and it took us less than 1 hour to reach the spots where the animals were. But we were told this might be several hours for e.g. the Gorilla trekking - so be aware of this! The 1 hour planed for staying in the bush with the Chimpanzee / Gorilla is satisfying enough. Please include the visiting of the Twin Lakes as this lookout point is very very beautiful.We had perfect weather conditions with rain during the nights and warm t-Shirt temperature during the day. Mosquito repellent was a must because of the humidity and the amount of mosquitos! All of the accommodations were amazing! They had everything we asked for - even laundry services. Keep in mind it is simple sometimes but the views, the service, the staff and the food were the best ever!
I very much recommend this trip with Nature Connect Safaris Uganda and wish everyone could do this experience once in their life.

A beautiful adventure with the wonderful people of uganda
We loved the ziwa rhino preserve. It was amazing to be so close to those beautiful animals. We did multiple boat tours on the Nile.And saw different animals each time. I love safaris.We saw many, many elephants giraffes, seven leopards, only a few lions. Our highlight of uganda was the gorilla trekking and the chimpanzee trekking. The small villages Were eye-opening
Of the hardworking people of this country. Our guides made our trip.
Very pleasant and memorable. They did everything they could to please us.
Were very friendly and willing to do extra.So we could have the best at experience. For us, a once in a lifetime adventure.

An amazing country for wildlife, jungle experience and wonderful people!
Uganda totally exceeded my expectations… the wildlife was amazing, but the people were so friendly, helpful, engaging and always had a smile. If you smiled, you were sure to get a bigger one back.
The accommodation I stayed in were lodges in the game parks and outside. I chose the medium package and again was so impressed with the accommodation, food and the staff… nothing was too much for them.
I was on an 11 day trip with Kajie Safaris. I chose this company from the reviews I read and also how they replied to my emails so promptly and friendly. I was blown away by the service I received. I had my own driver called Arafat…. who was amazing, so knowledgeable, friendly and as a solo female
