Best tour operator in Africa.

We booked our honeymoon with Galactic Safaris. 12 Days Uganda Safari. Everything was perfect. Whether our guide Bosco or Tim the tour planner, or the rest of the team, everyone did an excellent job. The communication and planning was great, the accommodations were perfect and the car spacious. The prices are extremely fair. Other safari providers we asked all charged more and didn't want to offer half of what you get here. Since we are both vegetarians, we wanted vegetarian food and even had several menus to choose from. The food was a dream as was the whole trip. All game drives were in nature with wild animals. Of the big 5 we saw 4, the lions even 3 times on 3 game drives in national parks with lions thanks to the experience of the guide and the experts who accompanied us. Nature does not guarantee that you will be able to see all the animals, as they are wild animals. But with Galactic Safaris, the probability is very high. Along the way, we were able to learn a lot about the culture Don't think twice about where you want to book your trip, Galactic Safaris is the answer!

Silver my driver was wonderful, and made sure I was taken care of and having a great time.

Galactic Safaris was and absolutely amazing experience. I did the 6 day primate safari and it was one of the best trips of my life. The whole time my driver made sure I was comfortable and taken care of, and seeing all the sights Uganda and Rwanda have to offer. He was always nearby and willing to make extra stops or drive me other places that I wanted to see. It was a great value for the cost, and didn’t feel like a budget safari at all. All the bookings were done well in advance and had no issues with any of the treks or experiences. The accommodations were also wonderful, all the staff were friendly and very comfortable places. The administrators were also incredibly helpful and always available on short notice in case I had any questions before or during the safari. Overall would absolutely come back to Galactic and would definitely recommend.

Very friendly organisers, everything was on time, easy to contact and no worries at all

The one day gorila tour was perfect. We had the best time. Tour organisation was very easy (we booked the tour last minute and they managed to get the permitions on time, organisers were very flexible with the tour date). The driver was very friendly, perfect english. The trip from Kigali to the trek place was comfortable and safe. The gorila treking and all team eho went with us were amazing. We had the best trip in the jungle, they explained a lot about all the plants and animals here. And the best part of course was gorillas🥰 we went to see family of 13gorillas and saw all of them from a very short distance. We highly recomment this one day itour for everyone who whants to feel the jungle and have an extraordinary chance to see gorillas👍👍👍
