4.8/5What I can say is that I can rate everything five star From start to finish Communication and booking with the company was super smooth and easy. The tour guide must be very experienced with the way they handle every detail to make a very memorable experience. Our guide, Jamal was a very hospitable and took very proper care of. He was very rich in knowledge about the wildlife, and he shared it with such super story telling skills that it made feel very live. Uganda is beautiful with nature. Got the opportunity to watch all the big five in beautiful green pastures. We had a trip also to the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary, our very first time seeing Rhinos it was indeed very fulfilling. not only that but every part of the journey was a highlight. If you’re considering a safari in Uganda, I highly recommend BLS Safaris and with value for money I think it was really worthy every penny. We did not feel at a point that we overpaid for anything in fact it felt like it was so economical with the moments and how good the service was and accommodation. You are indeed in for a truly extraordinary safari experience.

This was our very first time visiting Uganda and it turned out to be a very memorable one because of how it was wonderfully organized. After looking a a number of companies that could organise the trip, a friend from Uganda recommended BLS safaris so we decided to give it a try and was never proven wrong for choosing them. Lameck never got tired cause I kept changing very many things but he paid attention to make sure we would get the best out of the trip with also good recommendations which I loved very much. When we landed at the airport, I was received by the guide Jamal who was also the driver through out the entire trip, I must say he is a very good driver too. His knowledge is quite vast and he took very good care of us, making sure everything was perfect during our time with him. Ugandan people are very welcoming and lovely people who treated us really so well where ever we visited. The accommodations really exceeded our expectations based on what we thought about Uganda, especially in the national parks. Gorilla Trekking was like the icing on the cake. We really enjoyed the activity so much. Uganda is so much rich in nature. We are really planning to come and visit again. BLS safari team, Lameck and Jamal treated us so well, and we became more of friends. We cant wait to come again not only for the safari but to also meet our lovely friends. 3rd Safari now

Our trip with BLS was exceedingly great. From the planning stage, Pre-tour communication was great. Gloria was always in touch with us, helpful, and very kind. During the trip, they went above and beyond our expectations. I appreciate their thoughtfulness to make our experience perfect. The tour guide, was very knowledgeable, passionate and a very good driver. He took great care of everything we needed from the smallest to the big things like navigating the parks to giving us the best opportunities to see wildlife, managing all the activities on time, providing food and snacks, and ensuring abundant supply of water. This was my first safari, and BLS made it so interesting that I would love to visit again. We did Gorilla trekking which exhausted my strength although the expectations paid-off. Gorillas are so amazing. We visited the rhinos, chimpanzees, and many more animals. It was such a unique experience. Each accommodation was fantastic, with great food and better staff. I felt truly welcomed and comfortably enjoyed my stay. Honestly, this trip exceeded our expectations. We dont regret choosing BLS safaris. If you're considering a trip to Uganda, we recommend them highly!
