Great diversity of wildlife in their natural environment

5.00It was part of a four day expereince. The tour was very well organised, the guide and driver were very helpful, and successfully endeavoured to make the visit a success. The safari and boat trip took us to see a great variety of wildlife and gave us the opportunity to observe these animals from a short and safe distance in their natural environment. Thank you for this exiting experience!
Great day trip from Kampala

5.00I so enjoyed this no-hassle solo trip facilitated by Arthur and Steven! I had one day to have some fun in Uganda on a work trip, and wanted to spend that time in nature. Arthur exchanged several speedy emails with me to find an option that worked with my desires and schedule. I spent the day with Stephen who was kind, friendly and made sure I had everything I needed! Seriously, zero stress—even when we ran into a small scheduling bump (not caused by Immersion). For this trip, we left Kampala at 5am and returned around 9pm. Stephen told me that the trip is usually better to do in two days (lots of driving!), but if you are short on time, the one day is definitely doable.
Amazing tour

5.00This was, all around, an incredible day. Excellent communication with Arthur (and helpfulness) setting up the tour and I had an amazing day with Stephen. I opted for a walking safari, rather than the lake cruise, once we got to the park. I was really happy with this option. We saw giraffes - which was incredible. A lot of driving and traffic is what it is in Uganda. But, Stephen was good natured, super knowledgeable, and just very easy to be with. I can’t wait to go back and do the gorilla tracking tour with this company.
