5.00I was in Uganda for 12 days for an aid project and wanted to get to know the wonderful wildlife of Uganda in 9 days. Our experienced chairperson recommended Wild Jungle Trails and tour operator Twaha Lukwago to me based on the good experience so far. Even communication via whats app and phone when I was still in Germany worked very well and my itinerary was professionally created with recommendations from Twaha and my wishes. He picked me up very punctually and I immediately felt comfortable with Twaha's courteous and likeable nature. He always wanted me to get to know Uganda. So I saw the Big 5 and many other wonderful animals and experienced Uganda's dreamlike landscapes. In addition to what was on our itinerary, Twaha has always given me insights into the country, I have gained so many impressions of Uganda and experienced so many magical encounters with Uganda's people, it would fill many pages to describe it all. I was particularly excited about the meetings with two rangers, Gloria and Rebecca, great women who took a lot of time for me. Twaha Lukwago is an outstanding guide who is forward-thinking, keeps to the travel schedule and manages to always feel like you really have enough time for all events. I will remember for a very long time how we were the only vehicle very close to the leopard! Besides, as Twaha's guest you are always well prepared, feel safe and are provided with everything you need for the day and the journey. Sometimes he also reads wishes from his eyes that you didn't even know about. This included a spontaneous and beautiful trip across the border to the Democratic Republic of Congo with a warm meeting with the market women there. I am absolutely enthusiastic about Uganda, the pearl of Africa and can only recommend a visit to this beautiful country. With Wild Jungle Trails and Twaha Lukwago, this trip became the trip of a lifetime. I want to come back with friends and for sure we will travel with Wild Jungle Trails. There is still much to discover.
Thank You Wild Jungle Trails Safari

5.00We have been waiting for this wonderful journey for more than two years. Because of Covid we could not travel. Then it started, there were four of us and we couldn't imagine what will come. Uganda inspired us from the first second. Fred our wonderful, always happy and safe driver picked us up at the airport and took us to our lodge. A great safari car was our home for 9 days. During our round trip, which took us to 5 national parks, we saw everything that Uganda had to offer in terms of animals, flora, fauna and wonderful landscapes. We were amazed and couldn't get over the joy. Our lodges (midrange) were fabulous, the food was good everywhere. Nice and cheerful people were constantly concerned about our well-being. Fred had an answer to every question about his country and drove us safe over both the good and the sometimes very bumpy roads. Our side program was a community walk, a visit to a salt miner and to a Lokal cooperatives. Really highly recommended !!! Nine days passed like nothing. We had to go home again. I think I will never forget this country. Thank you, Christina from Wild Jungle Trails Safari, [email protected], for your great support, ideas and arrangements!!!

5.00we have just returned from a fantastic safari arranged by Moses from Wild Jungle Trails Safari . He was very helpful with all the planning of the trip and also helped with transfers and flight bookings. Our safari was amazing, we had a great guide and I have not a single complaint after the 4 day bwindi gorilla forest trip. I would highly recommend this company for any tours.
We had a wonderful time in Uganda with Fred.

5.00We had a wonderful time in Uganda with Fred. He was a great guide and very dependable. Very polite, extremely knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure we had a great time. Fred met us at the airport and stayed with us for the next 2 weeks. As a result, we spent a great deal of time with him and enjoyed his company immensely. He is passionate about the animals and Uganda and shares this with you throughout the trip.
Thank you Wild Jungle Trails Safari for a wonderful time.

5.00My wife and I went on a tour of Uganda and I must say that it was a happy choice. During the preparation of the tour they were very quick to answer our questions and very willing to meet our requests including that of carrying out a day. Upon arrival their guide was waiting for us, Mr. Twaha, an exquisite person, very nice, helpful and at the same time highly professional. The lodges that had booked for us turned out to be even higher than our expectations and, in any case, among the best in the area for the range we chose. The whole tour took place on time and in the best way. We have only one thing to say: Thanks to our guide Twaha and Home to Africa for the wonderful experience that made us live.
Package... and yet individual... and in the end unforgettablely beautiful

5.00I've been with Twaha twice. Four years ago, I've been here before. From the first mail to the last day of safari I experienced a professional and warm guide. This started with the very professional planning, which is very responsive to your own wishes.... accompanied with a lot of kindness by the team (Teresa and Silvia) in the office. Everything is thought of... the airport pic-up worked out without any problems, although we arrived significantly late. The lodges were beautiful and left little to be desired (booked was "mid-range"). At the game drives, Twaha always managed to show us all the animals. This requires a lot of experience and above all a very trained look. Anytime I would book here again. Kind regards Wolfgang
