My returning fromChimpanzee trekking was of great enjoy , guide Joseph was really knowledgeable on everything that we came across , reaching to Kibale National Park it is a story never to leave my mind because seeing chimps in their natural habitat is a lifetime experience, all the services well received were five star, it was indeed a great journey and trip that was guided by Joseph the guide

Very disappointed in this one. After booking, the arranger writes to me to suggest going to budongo forest instead, as you get much closer to the chimps there and get to stay for more hours than the one. When we arrived at the forest, it was just one guy trying to track the chimps and we were not that successfull, only seeing them from far away. As compensation for not seeing the crater lakes, I went on a shoebill sighting. It was okay, but I honestly feel cheated by the change of plans, as I agreed to it, but it was not as advertised. The tour says 2 breakfast and 2 lunch, but was only serves 1 of each. On the first day, we did not have lunch until 4pm, my first meal of the day. The car was shambolic and the seats would jump uncontrollably at every bumb in the road (which you meet all the time in Uganda). The guide barely spoke to me and seemed extremely dissatisfied to have to get up in the morning. I can see others have had good impressions with this operator, so I am probably just unlucky, but I still have to present it as I experienced it.

Trekking Chimpanzee is one of the best activities one can do while visiting the Pearl of Africa, I booked my trip in January 2023 and we was supposed to travel in May, 2023. It was a great experience, guide Richard picked me up from Entebbe International Airport on my arrival, he drove me to 7 Seasons Hotel for refreshing and for my stay for the night to prepare for the next day's journey to Kibale national park. I woke up at 5am early in the morning , I prepared myself by 6am I was through with my breakfast and guide Richard was ready to set off for our trip to Kibale for Chimpanzee trekking, my our way we made different stop overs to see and watch different amazing Ugandan people and the landscape of the Pearl of Africa, Indeed what I saw clarified that Uganda is the real Pearl of Africa. By 1pm we were in the beautiful land of Fortportal where we had lunch at Travel Inn Restaurant , after lunch we had to continue with our amazing journey to kibale national park on our journey passing through the beautiful Kibale Forest. By 5pm we had reached Kibale Forest Camp where were to rest from over the night, we were given a warm reception by the people around, we refreshed , then had supper and then guide Richard briefed about the next day's activities. In the morning we woke up at 6am prepared ourselves had breakfast and the guide Richard picked us upto the tracking center. The Rangers briefed us about what we were to follow, in the thick forest of Kibale we met chimpanzees in their habitant and the experience was really amazing. With the tour operator together with guide the trip was amazing.

My first visit to the Pearl of Africa is one of the best experiences I've ever had in life. Booked my trip to kibale with Inspire African Safaris via their website and they made everything easy for me. Uganda is one the countries you should include on your bucket list if you like adventure. Right from the airport with the audible and friendly driver guide who welcomed me with a warm smile making me feel comfortable. The weather so cool and people busy attending to their work I witnessed as I travelled to my destination. I even had a chance taste the Ugandan most delicious roadside snack commonly known as a Rolex. Indeed inspire Safaris is the most trusted travel company because I didn't miss any activity and the journey was so awesome. I recommend this company because it can be entrusted to deliver the best

I booked this trip in 2019 and for known reasons things cancelled, I was not refunded because lockdown happened on the exact day of my safari and due to cancellation policy neither was I able to qualify for refund, so I had given up. After COVID-19 lockdown Richard messaged me to rethink for my tour at no costs, even if things changed the chimpanzee permit changed from 50 USD to 200usd of current, the company didn't ask me to pay anything, they did the tour this year and I slept at kibale forest camp at it was amazing, I don't know how to reward this company but probably I believe this 5 Stars won't do them bad, I will be so much happier if anyone books them based on my review even though I won't know but I believe they deserve the best, Milly was my guide and she explained me all Uganda history while on drive to kibale, I felt comfortable and cared for throughout the trip, plus it was a good company. Blessings

Airways Tours & Travels may not sound much like a safari company but I opted for them after getting in touch with them on whatsapp and feeling convinced by the package they offered. Next the execution was a notch higher..they sent me a very good car...a great guide Brain Rukundo, stay as promised with no last minute changes and helped me achive visiting the chimps at kibale at a reasonable price compared to all other tour operators. Richard who did most of the correspondences is a very accomodating staff and I can say going with this company is the best bet hands down.
