5.00We were picked up from Kampala for an unforgettable safari adventure. Richard was a fantastic guide—professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the trip. The food exceeded our expectations, with delicious and well-prepared meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The accommodation was lovely, comfortable, and conveniently close to Queen Elizabeth National Park, which made our game drives easy and enjoyable. We spent time eagerly waiting to spot a lion, which added to the excitement and anticipation of the safari. Overall, it was a well-organized and memorable experience. Highly recommend this safari and Richard as a guide!

5.00Traveling solo can be daunting,but this small group tour made me feel part of a family.The group was just the right size - enough to make friends but still intimate. Gorilla tracking was , of course,the crown jewel. But I was also blown away by the boat cruise in Queen Elizabeth NP- elephants,buffaloes , and crocodiles galore! The chimp tracking in Kibale was fast -paced but thrilling. Meals were delicious, especially the fresh fruits and chapati. It really a nice ,highly recommend
Queen Elizabeth National Park is a must

5.00This wasn't just a safari -it was the most engaging outdoor classroom I've ever been in ! Over 2 days in Uganda .I not only saw an array of amazing animals but learned so much about them and their habitats thanks to our Incredible guide Herman . Every day brought new lessons in nature.The conservation aspect of this safari was really inspiring too. Our guide also explained animal behaviors on game drives in Queen Elizabeth. I loved learning how to read elephant body language .I highly do recommend

5.00I recently returned from my memorable trip from Queen Elizabeth National Park with all due respect I think Richard the guide and the entire Inspire team for being knowledgeable and organising such a fantastic trip ,a boat cruise was made on Kazinga Channel it was my honour seeing animals that I had never seen before take of the hippos and also seeing the Croc Island 🏝 on Kazinga Channel it was get fan,after the boat cruise we had to head back to our lodge which was Engiri safari lodge where we had a night and indeed the lodge was really good with all their services. After dinner we were brifed with our excellent guide Richard about the next days programme, in the next morning we waked up at 6am had breakfast and then drove to the park for the morning game drive, indeed Queen Elizabeth NP never disappoints , we saw a many different animal species that is to say the big five .When in East Africa a trip with Inspire African Safaris is a must however limited time you may have they can fix your trip, I highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️

5.00My husband and I recently returned from a 2 day safari trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park. We were so happy that Inspire had a 2 day option as we were short on time but wanted to experience a safari and are we glad we did. The tour itself was very organized from pick up to drop off. Transport vehicle was very comfortable and accommodations nice and clean.. We have been on numerous tours in varies countries and have to say how wonderful our tour guides Herman Joseph and Shane were. They were both very knowledgeable, friendly, so much fun and wow can Shane navigate that traffic!! A tour with Inspire is a MUST !

5.00My return from Queen Elizabeth National park was of great honour traveling with experts who know wild life , I explored Western Uganda and all I can say it was great visiting the twin lakes ,seeing a variety of animals in the park and having a boat cruise on Kazinga Channel the channel that joins two lakes Edward and George indeed the guide made the trip lively giving us every fan you can think of , Inspire African Safaris are really good organisers of trips to East Africa incase one would love to visit East Africa because I had the best experience I would think of.
