5.0/5Exceptional Service for Large Groups and Student Travel
Andrew and the Usoke Explorers team were fantastic throughout our two-week university trip in Uganda. They helped coordinate transportation, guided excursions, safari experiences and other activities for a group of more than 35 students, and professors. What impressed me most was how easy they made everything. We simply had to show up on time, and they took care of the rest. From organizing activities like quad biking and horseback riding to guiding us through the day-time and night-time safaris, Andrew and his team were professional, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and wildlife. They were also great at helping us spot animals, answering questions, and even taking candid photos throughout the trip. Managing a large student group is not easy, but they handled it effortlessly and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. I would highly recommend Usoke Explorers to students, large groups, or anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable experience in Uganda. Thank you, Andrew and team, for helping make our trip so special.

Best Tours in Uganda
Usoke Explorers were the best tour guides during my time in Uganda! They were very knowledgeable, friendly, and always ensured that everyone had a good time. The safari tours were amazing and I would definitely recommend their services.

Kind, compassionate, caring and knowledgeable.
Over my visit to Uganda, I went on over 5 excursions with Usoke explorers. Each time I was pleasantly surprised by their patience, willingness to accommodate my needs and knowledge of the activities. Through a safari at lake Mburo, ziplining on the Nile or touring Kampala, I always felt I got more than my moneys worth. To Andrew and his team, thank you so much!
