Amazing: They chose the best for and gave us an amazing experience at the Kidepo Valley Tour.

The Trip was organized by Dagiz Travel to the Kidepo Valley National Park. Dagiz travel organized the entire trip to include transportation, meals and accommodation. Dagiz travel transport was spectacular; the car was confortable with a fully installed power supply system to charge phones, laptops and any kind of portable electronic devise. The car itself had an open roof which allowed for a grandeur view of the Kidepo Valley National Park with all its creatures and features in a safe and confortable space. The Driver and the Dagiz travel crew were hospitable offering drinks and meals during the travel (which were part of the paid for package). The travel to Kidepo Valley was quite long, but the hospitable crew made the journey interesting and bearable. For our accommodation, Dagiz travel booked us into Katurum Lodge in the Kidepo valley National Park. The accommodation was marvelous as it had a magnificent view of the Kidepo Valley National Park; not to mention the Sun Rises, the Sun Sets and the Clear Skies of the Kidepo Valley which only added to the splendor of our stay. The Katurum Lodge is a refurbished hotel, with a rich heritage having been constructed on and from the Katurum Rock... In the wee hours of the night, you can hear the Lions Roar from Katurum Lodge; and wake up to birds singing and Monkeys to disrupt your stay :) ... I loved the accommodation Dagiz Travel chose for us. It was a beautiful Lodge; with very good customer care; not to mention the camp fire which crowed our stay at the Lodge. Oh did I mention - the moon to escorted us throughout our campfire - there was that too... Dagiz travel Kept time and ensured we maximized our visit in the Northern part of Uganda by ensuring we visited the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary; which was along the route to the Kidepo Valley National Park and had the chance to visit a Karamojong community and got to experience the Karamojong culture. Because there was so much to experience, we were far to spent on time, and didn't get to visit Fort Patiko in Gulu which was part of our itinerary :(. I really loved this trip and cannot quantify the monetary but only say - thank you Dagiz travel for organizing this trip. I am looking forward to the next trip you will organize... My first trip with you was a bang, and I hope and believe the next ones will continue to blow me away.

Our trip to norther Uganda in kidepo national park was amazing, our itinerary was well organized to accommodate our needs. Our accommodation was beautiful in the center of the park, the game drive was very comfortable and much enjoyable with the open roof van. Our driver was very professional and helpful this trip was worth every penny plus we got to see the best sunrise in Africa.

I thank Dagiz Travel tour operator for their seamless and well-organized travel experence.

Under the vast African sky in the Eastern part of Uganda, I embarked on a journey that would forever etch the beauty of Sipi Falls, Uganda, into my heart. The rugged terrain welcomed us as we set out on a guided trek to explore this hidden gem. Our first stop was at the base of the first waterfall. The sheer power of the cascading water mesmerized me, and the cool mist enveloped me like a refreshing embrace. As I gazed upwards, the sight of the water plummeting down, surrounded by lush vegetation, left me in awe of nature's grandeur. Continuing our hike, we navigated through winding paths that led us to the second and third falls. Each one was a unique spectacle, revealing its own character and charm. The second fall, framed by towering cliffs, seemed to emerge from the very heart of the earth. The third, a delicate veil of water, contrasted with its surroundings, creating a tranquil atmosphere that invited contemplation. Dagiz Travel provided an exceptional and immersive travel experience, combining expertly guided tours, comfortable accommodations, and seamless logistics for a memorable journey,, knowledgeable tour guides and diverse itinerary offerings.
