We spent a week in Rwanda and Uganda with Able - his joy and love of life are infectious and he kept us laughing and full of energy. We loved all of his choices for lodging, and he broke up the longer drives by pointing out things of interest along the way. He was also a great cheerleader for us as we departed on our primate treks!

A dream came true
We just came back to Italy after a beautiful trip in Uganda managed by Able, our local guide, from Ibanga Expeditions. He was really good with us making our days fantastic and funny. Uganda is a wonderful country to visit and Able is perfect to show you the beauty of the nature and the real local life of people. We enjoyed spending time with hom laughing all the time. He love his country and people so much and his Smile is contagious. We suggest people to travel in Uganda with Ibanga !!!

Able was an excellent host and professional in conducting his tour.
I used Able from Las Vegas Tours and Travels to help with transport on a recent work trip. He was punctual and surprised me with some site seeing (Equator Cafe) which I was not expecting. Safe and dependable. I would highly recommend him.
Paul Snook · South Africa

Very nice combination of activities in this tour. Able has a lot to tell and is a real ambasador of Uganda. He is really caring for the joy of his guests.
