3-Day Chimpanzee Trekking, Big 5 & Nile Safari (Luxury)

Smooth

My friend and I had a great day! We went to Mabamba swamps to look for the famous shoebill. Everything went smoothly and Innocent our tour guide) didn't want to give up on showing us the bird, even though it was getting late. We succeeded! It was a great experience 🥰👍🏻 We are very grateful and very happy ☺️

The Wild Uganda experience was far beyond expectation

As a fairly experienced safari traveller (Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa), this was my first visit to Uganda. I booked my vacation directly at Wild Uganda. I was charmed by its reviews and the very good value for money in comparison with other operators. There were quite some extra wishes to the standard 10 days offer such as an extra day and different lodges. Communication was very easy and fast via WhatsApp; I also had a very nice video conversation with Ernest. He was very friendly, helpful, flexible and fulfilled all our extra wishes. Then the journey itself: as said we made several Safaris before in other countries and I must say this one was the most diverse. We did a lot of game drives in Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo and saw a lot of wild life: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos and so on. On top of that we had walking safaris at Ziwa (rhino 's), Kibale (chimps), Bwindi (gorillas) and Lake Mburo (giraffe, zebra etc). We also had boat trips at Lake Victoria (shoebills), Murchison Falls, Kazinga Channel and Lake Bunyonyi. Along the way we visited local communities such as a coffee farm, vanilla plantation, banana beer brewery and primary school. The Ugandese people are very warm and hospitable and real ambassadors for their country. Although it is hard to make a ranking in all of our activities, I must highlight the gorilla track since before booking we were in doubt whether we wanted to spend relatively much money on this tour. I must say it was stunning and worth every penny! Accommodations were very nice, especially for its locations, welcoming staff and good meals. See reviews on Google maps to get an impression of what to expect. I read some rare negative stories of the lodges we visited, but the only thing I can say is that these are mainly based on unreasonable standards or expectations and ours are solely positive. Most of all I'd like to mention our guide Allanie, who did a wonderful job at accommodating and establishing this breath taking experience! We had an informal daily briefing and everything was fitted to our wishes. He provided very useful information and extra stops at places of our interest. If you have the opportunity, I would certainly recommend to book for 10+ days. This will give you the chance to relax every now and then and process all the experiences. Im short, whenever I return to Uganda I will definitely book at this organisation again and can recommend anyone to do so as well.

Amazing 10 Days Best of Uganda! - Fantastic experience with Wild Uganda and Allaine

Our 10 Days Best of Uganda Tour truly showed us why Uganda is called the “Pearl of Africa.” The diversity of experiences within a relatively short time made the trip feel very complete. The wildlife we experienced throughout the trip was incredibly abundant. A major highlight, and one of the main reasons for our journey, was the chimpanzee and gorilla tracking, which was truly unforgettable. In addition, we saw leopard cubs, a baby rhino, lions (including a tree-climbing lion during a hunt), and much more – these are only a few examples of what we encountered on a daily basis. One fun highlight was that we managed to see the Big Five in under 24 hours. The boat cruises on the Nile and along the Kazinga Channel were also particularly impressive. Beyond the animals, the cultural side of the trip was just as memorable. We visited a local cinema, did a gin tasting, learned about local coffee and vanilla farming, and even had the chance to play football with a group of kids in a village. These experiences made the trip feel very authentic and personal. Allaine was an excellent guide – very knowledgeable, attentive, and also great fun to be around. His sense of humor and the balance he found between engaging with us and giving us time on our own made a real difference throughout the trip. The accommodations were well chosen, with welcoming staff and good food – perfect for relaxing after active days. Communication with the tour operator was smooth and reliable from the very beginning. The planning process was straightforward, and all questions were answered quickly and clearly. Overall, a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend. We would definitely travel again with Wild Uganda and especially with Allaine as a guide.

5* are not enough!

Our 5-day safari with Wild Uganda was simply unforgettable! From the planning stage to departure, everything was perfectly organized. The team was always available and took all our wishes into account. The accommodations were excellent, perfectly tailored to our needs, and offered breathtaking views. The safari itself was an absolute highlight: from Queen Elizabeth National Park to chimpanzee trekking and our personal highlight – gorilla trekking – every moment was unique. The walking safari in Lake Mburo National Park was also a very special experience. It was incredible how close we sometimes got to the animals – a feeling we will never forget. We truly went through every emotion: tears of joy, goosebumps, and moments of complete speechlessness. A very special thank you to our guide Allaine! He was simply amazing – always helpful, friendly, and attentive. We shared many laughs with him and felt safe and perfectly taken care of at all times. He always brought us to the best photo spots, allowing us to capture unforgettable memories. With his extensive knowledge of wildlife and plants, as well as his experience, he taught us so much and shared his passion with us. If we ever go on a safari in Uganda again, it will only be with Allaine and Wild Uganda! Thank you for everything – this is a trip we will never forget! We highly recommend Wild Uganda and would book with them again anytime!
