This tour was the highlight of my time in Uganda! Nasser, our guide, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, kind, and full of great stories that brought the history and culture of the region to life. The drive from Kampala was smooth, and Nasser made sure we were comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Great experience and I...

I enjoyed this tour and my guide, Nassar, was friendly and informative. My only complaint was the terrible traffic that day which resulted in the trip taking 10 hours round-trip from Kampala, which I wasn’t expecting. I do recommend wearing sturdy shoes for hiking around the waterfall and getting on-off the boat at Lake Victoria.
Thoroughly recommended.

I booked this tour blind for the morning after my arrival in Uganda from UK, and was a little apprehensive. I need not have been. Nasser arrived punctually for a 7am start with an impressive vehicle, and proved a congenial and knowledgeable companion for the day. We had sufficient time to enjoy all the main points on the itinerary, though some of the lesser ones were drive-bys unless you request a stop. Particularly impressive was the close up views of the abundant birdlife on the banks of Lake Victoria. The only downside was the gridlocked traffic on the return to Kampala, prepare for the trip to take longer than expected.
Great Jinja Visit

Great experience! The tour took me to Jinja, a waterfall, the Nile River, Lake Victoria, and more. My guide was amazing. They were informative and have lots of interesting information about the place we visited. The local restaurant has a wide variety of food to try and the day was relaxing and fun.
