Excellent 6-day tour in Rwanda and Uganda with my guideSmith

I just finished my 6-day tour in Rwanda and Uganda booked with Lulu Safaris. My guide was Smith and he was just the best, nothing was too much trouble. Smith picked me up from Kigali and in 6 days we went to Nyungwe for canopy walking and ziplining. After this we continued to Volcanoes where I did hike to Dian Fossey's grave, then to Bwindi to see gorillas. After this to Queen Elizabeth, where I even saw lions! I did a chim trekking and Lake Bunyonyi. Accommodations were high quality and food really good and I had no problem to find vegetarian options. My tour was just absolutely amazing thanks to Smith and Lulu Safaris. As a female solo traveller I encourage everybody to go explore this beautiful countries.

Very good

The experience with Lulu Safari was excellent from the very first inquiry. Communication was always smooth and quick, both by email and WhatsApp, resolving all our doubts and guiding us through the trip planning. Upon arriving in Uganda, everything flowed even better. We were greeted by Derrik and Viktor, who from the first moment made us feel like we were in the hands of true professionals. We had a few minor issues with some accommodations, but they were resolved immediately. Derrik and Viktor always acted quickly, kindly, and practically, seeking the best alternative to ensure our comfort and peace of mind. At our accommodation in Bwindi, on my birthday, they took care of notifying the lodge so they could surprise me with a decorated room, and during dinner, they sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It was a beautiful and very meaningful gesture. But what truly made this trip unique was the human and professional quality of Derrik and Viktor. They were both punctual, kind, attentive, and extremely considerate. During the long journeys, they constantly asked if we needed breaks, always adapting to our pace and providing attentive, respectful, and very pleasant support. Viktor also speaks Spanish, which greatly facilitated communication and allowed us to perfectly understand all the explanations and knowledge that Derrik shared. We highly recommend requesting Derrik and Viktor as your guides when booking with Lulu Safari. They made our trip unforgettable, and we felt accompanied by two exceptional people, both professionally and personally. Uganda is a wonderful country that is well worth visiting, and doing so with guides like them makes all the difference. (automatic translation from Spanish)

Top-Notch Experience

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Lulu Safaris! From start to finish, everything was so well-organised, smooth, and truly memorable. I am especially grateful to our guides, CAESAR and MARK who made the entire journey exceptional. Both of them were warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and enjoying every moment. Their passion for their work and their genuine care for guests really stood out. I felt safe, welcomed, and fully satisfied throughout the trip. I am extremely happy with the service I received and would gladly recommend LULU SAFARIS to anyone looking for a fantastic adventure. Special thanks once again to CAESAR and MARK — you made this experience unforgettable!

Excellent trip, amazing guide

Lulu provided an truly exceptional trip through five national parks in Uganda! My guide Elvis, was extremely knowledgeable, personable, accommodating, and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend him. Uganda is an absolutely amazing country teeming with wildlife and culture that I'll undoubtedly visit again. When I do go, I will definitely use Lulu. I can't say enough about how amazing Lulu made the experience. Thank you.
