Unforgettable 6 day Uganda safari tour

5.00We booked our 6-day Uganda safari with Bamboo Ecotours, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. It was a bit last-minute, but Edison made it happen—super responsive, professional, and flexible. I traveled with my 16-year-old daughter, and now Uganda has stolen both our hearts. She’s already saying she wants to come back! We started in Kigali, Rwanda and ended in Entebbe, Uganda, which made the journey even more special as we got to experience two countries in one trip. Our guide John was simply the best—so friendly, kind, and full of knowledge. He told us stories about Ugandan culture, wildlife, and even about his own family, which made the whole experience feel incredibly personal. He made sure we were safe, comfortable, and truly immersed in everything Uganda has to offer. The itinerary was perfectly paced. Highlights included: • Gorilla trekking in Bwindi – surreal and humbling. • Golden monkey trekking and Lake Bunyonyi – magical sunsets. • Queen Elizabeth National Park safari and boat cruise – we saw elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and so many birds! • Chimp trekking in Kibale – energetic and fascinating. • Bigodi Community Tour – we helped cook a traditional Ugandan meal and even helped make local banana beer! This is an absolute must-do. Every lodge was cozy and clean, and the food… wow! Fresh, flavorful, and full of local flair. Uganda is a gem—lush landscapes, kind people, and unforgettable wildlife. We felt welcomed everywhere we went. Thank you John and Edison for making this a dream trip. Highly, highly recommend Bamboo Ecotours to anyone thinking about Africa!

5.00What an amazing experience! Everything went perfectly. From booking a year in advance and all the follow up questions I had until our actual trip, Edison (owner) was wonderful to deal with and very speedy communication. When our tour started, Fred was our guide. Fred was a wonderful guide, everything from answering questions, to providing information. He made sure that we completed everything on our to do list. At the end of each day, he went over what the game plan was for the next day. The highlight of our trip was the gorilla trek, which we saw a very large family. The chip trek was equally as enjoyable. On the Akagera Driving safari, Fred did a great job finding and pointing out animals to us. Bamboo Ecotours offers a great variety of tour options and we were able to customize the tour a tad with changing up one of the hotels. All lodging and food provided on the tour exceeded our expectations. Planning with Bamboo Ecotours was easy and worry free. If we ever plan a trip an Uganda, we will definitely use you. Thank you Edison and Fred for a wonderful trip. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience.
Hard to find someone better than Bamboo ecotours!

5.00Bamboo ecotours, my guide Herbert, and the administrator Edison made my time in Uganda an unforgettable and flawless experience. These guys are serious experts that really care about the customer experience! My guide and driver, Herbert, was absolutely proficient at navigating the country and national parks, teaching me about the animals, nature, and culture at every place we went. The accommodations were incredibly organized, clean, and comfortable, and the food really good. All in all this company and the experience they provided exceeded my expectations and I am very grateful for their work. They’re truly worth every penny!

5.00Absolutely the best trip and experience! I really recommend it! I spent with Herbert 6 days and he is the best guide and driver! I saw all the animals, during tranfers, treking and while staying in the lodge. Everything was perfectly planned on time :) The views were magnificent, it is hard to explain how beautiful it was. Many thanks it was very great time in Rwanda and Uganda!
Great choice of agency. Herbert is a great guide
