We had the best time during this tour! All the organization part was done with Edison via email, who was always very responsive. Arriving in Rwanda, we were picked up by our guide/drive Jackson, who did a tremendous job driving us around, telling us about both countries and making sure our dietary restrictions were being considered. The itinerary was perfect! We felt we did a lot without feeling tired. We cannot recommend this tour and agency enough! Definitely a vacation to remember forever.

Loved every second of it. And from the beginning they were amazing, explaining everything to me without being pushy. Edison is a very patient professional gentleman to arrange this with- who I believe is the Boss - and my lovely driver (now friend) John, amazing guy, amazing guide and the effort he put into showing me everything was fantastic. He is an amazing driver and smileyst tour guide Uganda and Rwanda is in now top of my favourite places in the world ..amazing landscapes, birds gorillas, chimps , lions and many more unique creatures..People are lovely, generous and friendly and man the food was to die for...fresh and delish Highly recommend

The comfortable lodges very beautiful in respect with the sumptuous nature. Bwindi, queen victoria park, Kazinga Canal safari, Kibale forest.

Edison was absoluely amazing in organizing the perfect 10+ experience from Rwanda to Uganda tour for 6 of us. Logistics and itinerary of this trip was efficient and so perfect that we also rate it 5 star+ Our guide Freddy is best in class, knowledgeable, caring and safe. He picked us up in the 1-year new Safari truck at the Kigali Fourpoint Sheraton--which is also a great pick-up point and hotel. All the food and accommodations exceeded our expectations, clean, comfortable and delicious. We had absolutely the most amazing time and thought a need to post great reviews for so other travelers may benefit from visiting Rwanda and Uganda with the best travel company possible so they can enjoy the best possible experience. It was truly the treat of a lifetime to visit the Rwanda and Uganda. Bamboo Ecotour is very good and they deserve 6-star or 7-star. All the Gold Monkey, Gorilla, Chimpanzee and cultural experience are must-see. We can not thank enough or say enough good things about Edison and Freddy and this tour. Thank You Thank You and Thank You!!!

I am so glad that we chose Bamboo Ecotours for our 6-day family trip through Rwanda and Uganda. Every detail of our trip was very well organized and orchestrated perfectly. Edison was very responsive answering all of my questions and helping us to come prepared for all of our activities and trekking excursions. We chose the Budget option and were impressed with the comfortable and clean accommodations for each of the stops during our trip. I cannot thank our guide John enough! He was absolutely terrific. John ensured that we were safe, comfortable and informed through the entire trip. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. John had all documentation ready and organized which made border crossing and checking in to our accommodations and activities fast and easy. We are so grateful to have visited such beautiful countries. Of course, our gorilla trek and visit to Queen Elizabeth National Park were amazing. We really enjoyed cultural experiences like visiting a Batwa community and a local coffee farm. This was an experience of a lifetime.

Spending time with the gorillas is something I will never forget. Together with trekking to the chimps and golden monkeys, other wildlife encounters, and enjoying the sheer beauty of these 2 countries, made this the most special experience. I highly recommend using Bamboo Ecotours. Edison responded to all emails within a day, and Herbert was a wonderful guide/driver.

I had an amazing time on my solo trip to Uganda with Bamboo Ecotours. Edison was very quick to respond, and I appreciated the very thorough itinerary details. I went with the 6 day tour and could not have planned it better myself. Amanya was my driver/guide and went above and beyond to make sure I had an unforgettable trip. I cannot thank the Bamboo Ecotours team enough for a great experience at a great value.

The trip with Bamboo Ecotours was fantastic, I enjoyed every single part of it. It was super well organized. Edison answered quickly to each of my emails and explained every single thing to the max. Thank you!. The accommodation selected at each place was a spot on, clean, magical views and plenty of space. The food provided was tasty and well cooked too. I was never hungry! The landscapes were amazing as well as the people. I saw Gorillas, Chimps and Leopards, so good! The vehicle was also very comfortable. I was a solo traveler and felt comfortable the whole time. My tour guide Godfrey was lovely and kind. He is such a good driver and has lots of knowledge about the area and the fauna of the place. Thank you both for an amazing trip!

I did a 7-day tour with Bamboo Ecotours, including both Rwanda/Uganda. They were very helpful in also adding Akagera to their more standard 6 day Rwanda & Uganda Wildlife Safari itinerary. Edison and our driver/guide Fred were professional and went above and beyond throughout. I would highly recommend them. It was an absolutely incredible experience.

Bamboo Ecotours and our guide, Godfrey, in particular went ABOVE AND BEYOND what we could have hoped for our Rwanda-Uganda safari! The planning stage with Edison was convenient, informative, accommodating and professional. He was so easy to communicate with, answered all of our questions, and accommodated all of our specific requests to truly create a unique safari experience for us. All of the lodges selected for our safari were great, and each offered unique opportunities to explore (some had traditional foods, live music and cultural performances, canoe trips etc…) On the tour, our guide Godfrey was beyond AMAZING!! He was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive and responsive to our needs. Thanks to him, we were able to experience way more than originally advertised in our itinerary, all the while learning about Rwandan and Ugandan culture, landscapes, and wildlife. For example, he was often able to cater our trip to include more birdwatching opportunities, and introduced us to local delicacies. On a personal level, Godfrey is so kind, and was a pleasure to be with over the course of the week. Would highly recommend Godfrey and Bamboo Ecotours for any trip to Uganda or Rwanda!!
