Best Uganda tour company ever!

5.00I had an incredible experience with Francis and Yusuf! My friend and I arrived during the presidential elections when the political climate was rough and the internet was really blacked out. We were unable to research or contact anyone on our own . Francis and Yusuf made sure we arrived everywhere safely, showed us around Kampala and contacted everyone and set up everyone on our behalf! They even organized a last minute chimpanzee trek for us, which was crazy to do during that time! They really went above and beyond for us during such a time of uncertainty, at the end of the day they wanted us to still experience the beauty of Uganda and always wanted the best for us and our safety. I really appreciate it and will remember their hospitality forever. I highly recommend booking!
Fascinating

5.00Cycling on Lake Victoria Island was an unforgettable experience that combined breathtaking scenery, cultural immersion, and a sense of adventure. The island's lush landscapes, dotted with vibrant greenery and surrounded by the shimmering waters of Africa's largest lake, provided a stunning backdrop for every pedal stroke. The cycling trails ranged from gentle paths to more challenging routes, catering to all skill levels while offering opportunities to explore local villages and interact with friendly residents. Along the way, I enjoyed serene moments by the lakeshore, spot unique bird species, and soak in the tranquility of this natural paradise. It was a perfect blend of outdoor activity and cultural discovery, that left me refreshed and inspired.

5.00In May 2024, I had the opportunity to embark on a captivating Buganda cultural tour with my family. Our knowledgeable and friendly guide, Med, led us through the impressive Buganda Palace, where we learned about the rich history and traditions of the Buganda Kingdom. We then visited the fascinating Buganda Museum, which showcased an array of artifacts and exhibits that provided deep insights into the cultural heritage of the region. One of the highlights was our visit to the sacred Kasubi Tombs, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where we gained a profound appreciation for the spiritual and architectural significance of this revered site. The Buganda cultural tour was an immersive and enlightening experience that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in exploring the vibrant culture and history of this captivating part of Uganda.
