An exceptional tour operator that made our trip feel effortless, authentic, and truly unforgettable
I’m really grateful for the organisation of this trip, which was arranged at just a couple of weeks’ notice. Ernest always replied very quickly and provided us with all the necessary information; he was extremely flexible in tailoring the trip to our preferences and made sure everything went smoothly.
Our guide, Kasim, was a highlight of the trip; we learnt so much from him about the culture, traditions and wildlife. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience.
It’s an experience we’d 100% recommend, and we’re absolutely certain it wouldn’t have been the same without them.

Excellent!
It was an unforgettable trip with wonderful experiences in Uganda. Wild Uganda's tour organization was precise and excellent. Our tour guide Ricky was a very well-prepared, professional, kind, attentive, polite, patient and humorous young man. In addition to all this, he was an excellent driver. The fact that our trip to Uganda was such a fantastic success is largely thanks to him. We can only recommend Wild Uganda and Ricky Hillary as a tour guide to everyone!

Love Uganda!
This trip was incredibly special to me. I planned it to celebrate my birthday and fulfill my dream of visiting mountain gorillas. Wild Uganda was the company that best suited my needs in terms of time, energy, and budget. Communication was excellent from beginning to end, and throughout the trip, they were attentive to detail and ready to resolve any unforeseen issues. Uganda is a beautiful country with so much to offer, incredibly warm people, and places that seem like a dream. I definitely recommend Uganda and Wild Uganda for exploring this amazing country! Thanks for everything.

Unforgettable trip
We spent 10 days with Wild Uganda. Our guide, Brian, was incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed and ensuring our stay in Uganda was unforgettable. For example, we didn't see any chimpanzees on our first trek. Brian was the only guide who arranged for us to do it again the next day, at no extra cost, and this time we had the chance to see them. We also wanted to experience the local culture, and he did just that. We had a tailor-made trip and even got to visit a school. It was the best trip of my life, and I highly recommend Wild Uganda to anyone who wants to discover this wonderful country. All I hope is to return someday and that our paths cross again, because I will never forget this amazing experience.
Very professional, organised, and patient.
Naturally when booking directly from the UK with an Ugandan company that we'd found on the internet, there is an air of nervousness. However, Ernest 'the fixer' could not have been any more reassuring, patient and helpful to tweak our trip to keep meeting our endless list of questions and demands. He was never pushy and happy to send tourism registration certificates and any other info we asked for. His responses to our very many questions were extremely prompt, whatever the time of day or night. The 10 day Rwanda Uganda exploration trip was wonderfully put together and, we thought exceptional value for money, as it included all food, all park entries, boat trips and trekking permits, not to mention a private Toyato Landcriuser and our superb driver/guide Kasim. We did however add an extra night at the start to refresh from out overnight flights from London and an extra night at the end to recover, which we would thoroughly advise. The last day is quite a rush to do the Volcanoes trek, genocide museum and then make it to the airport. Again Ernest came up trumps with recommendations, which we actually booked directly ourselves - M Hotel Kigali on the way back, which was a great high standard hotel at just $85 BnB. As for the trip itself, Kasim could not have been more professional, patient, with superb English, and a great sense of humour too. His knowledge of animals, birds (including calls), plants, local culture, food was just amazing. He was extremely flexible and seemed to have endless energy to make our holiday as great an experience a he could possibly achieve. He truly was a lovely chap. Uganda is an amazing country, with stunning wildlife and lots of close up experiences, notably the Rhino and especially the Gorillas. I have travelled quite a lot and also a fair amount in Africa, and I must admit I have not felt safer anywhere else in Africa, than I did in Uganda and Rwanda. We went mid range and the accommodation, which ranged from very nice to stunning. All had extremely large, very comfy beds with sturdy mozzy nets, except at altitude where they weren't needed (not that we really had an issue with seeing any mozzzys). Just to note we never had any air con, but quite frankly it cooled off quite nicely at night and wasn't really required. I am very pleased we could support the Ugandan tourist industry and especially Wild Uganda and can't recommend them enough.

Reliable, trustworthy, flexible, supportive and caring.
I have chosen Wild Uganda because I liked the program they offered and asked them to extend it to more days. The communication with Ernest was excellent since the very beginning. Flight operator changed our plans, even twice, flight was postponed by one day, and it was not a problem for Wild Uganda to adjust our programe accordingly. Ernest was extremely helpful throughout the whole time and always on what’s up. Then we met our guide Kasim, an excellent young man who made our trip to Uganda unforgettable. We traveled together for 16 days, enjoyed every single minute, laughed a lot, got to know many new information, seen magnificent gorillas, and so many other animals on our game drives and wonderful walking safaris as well as incredible nature and people. It was a wonderful trip we never forget. Wild Uganda is top.

A Well-Planned Adventure with Safety and Comfort
We had the great pleasure of touring with Wild Uganda last month. As this was my first trip to Africa, I was admittedly a bit skeptical at first, but the Wild Uganda team made it a truly wonderful experience.
I would especially like to highlight Mr Matiya, who was our guide throughout the journey. His knowledge of wildlife, the local areas, and even the roads was exceptional. He also had a great sense of humor ☺️and also no matter how late we returned the previous night, the vehicle was always neat, tidy and ready on-time for the next day's adventure.
On the other hand Mr Shafik, such a wonderful person, no matter how late we finished the previous day, he would always show up the next morning full of energy and enthusiasm, greeting everyone in the group with a smile 🤓. His positive attitude helped set the tone for each day of the trip.
Together, they made this a memorable and stress free trip. We never had to worry about anything throughout the journey, as everything was handled professionally and with genuine care.
Matiya and Shafik are real assets to the company, and they deserve great recognition for the outstanding experience they provided. Kudos to both of them and the team 🫡.

The Wild Uganda experience was far beyond expectation
As a fairly experienced safari traveller (Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa), this was my first visit to Uganda. I booked my vacation directly at Wild Uganda. I was charmed by its reviews and the very good value for money in comparison with other operators. There were quite some extra wishes to the standard 10 days offer such as an extra day and different lodges. Communication was very easy and fast via WhatsApp; I also had a very nice video conversation with Ernest. He was very friendly, helpful, flexible and fulfilled all our extra wishes.
Then the journey itself: as said we made several Safaris before in other countries and I must say this one was the most diverse. We did a lot of game drives in Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo and saw a lot of wild life: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos and so on. On top of that we had walking safaris at Ziwa (rhino 's), Kibale (chimps), Bwindi (gorillas) and Lake Mburo (giraffe, zebra etc). We also had boat trips at Lake Victoria (shoebills), Murchison Falls, Kazinga Channel and Lake Bunyonyi. Along the way we visited local communities such as a coffee farm, vanilla plantation, banana beer brewery and primary school. The Ugandese people are very warm and hospitable and real ambassadors for their country. Although it is hard to make a ranking in all of our activities, I must highlight the gorilla track since before booking we were in doubt whether we wanted to spend relatively much money on this tour. I must say it was stunning and worth every penny!
Accommodations were very nice, especially for its locations, welcoming staff and good meals. See reviews on Google maps to get an impression of what to expect. I read some rare negative stories of the lodges we visited, but the only thing I can say is that these are mainly based on unreasonable standards or expectations and ours are solely positive.
Most of all I'd like to mention our guide Allanie, who did a wonderful job at accommodating and establishing this breath taking experience! We had an informal daily briefing and everything was fitted to our wishes. He provided very useful information and extra stops at places of our interest.
If you have the opportunity, I would certainly recommend to book for 10+ days. This will give you the chance to relax every now and then and process all the experiences.
Im short, whenever I return to Uganda I will definitely book at this organisation again and can recommend anyone to do so as well.

Amazing 10 Days Best of Uganda! - Fantastic experience with Wild Uganda and Allaine
Our 10 Days Best of Uganda Tour truly showed us why Uganda is called the “Pearl of Africa.” The diversity of experiences within a relatively short time made the trip feel very complete.
The wildlife we experienced throughout the trip was incredibly abundant. A major highlight, and one of the main reasons for our journey, was the chimpanzee and gorilla tracking, which was truly unforgettable. In addition, we saw leopard cubs, a baby rhino, lions (including a tree-climbing lion during a hunt), and much more – these are only a few examples of what we encountered on a daily basis. One fun highlight was that we managed to see the Big Five in under 24 hours. The boat cruises on the Nile and along the Kazinga Channel were also particularly impressive.
Beyond the animals, the cultural side of the trip was just as memorable. We visited a local cinema, did a gin tasting, learned about local coffee and vanilla farming, and even had the chance to play football with a group of kids in a village. These experiences made the trip feel very authentic and personal.
Allaine was an excellent guide – very knowledgeable, attentive, and also great fun to be around. His sense of humor and the balance he found between engaging with us and giving us time on our own made a real difference throughout the trip.
The accommodations were well chosen, with welcoming staff and good food – perfect for relaxing after active days.
Communication with the tour operator was smooth and reliable from the very beginning. The planning process was straightforward, and all questions were answered quickly and clearly.
Overall, a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend. We would definitely travel again with Wild Uganda and especially with Allaine as a guide.
