5.0/5Perfect game drive person,
We had amazing experience with Francis. He is joyful, conversant with facts. He drives perfectly. He picked us from Kigali and dropped us at Entebbe. He knows game drive roads and we were able to see big 5. Lions, Rhinos, Leopards, Buffaloes and Elephants. That to more than once. Because of him, we had easiest Gorilla trek, as he put us with easy trek. Both at Rwanda as well as in Uganda. Francis knows the internal roads. He never missed an important sight seeing place. My wife and I had so much fun with him.

Frank was an amazing guide with endless knowledge. He has a good sense of humor and is very friendly
I had an absolutely unforgettable trip in Uganda. Words cannot begin to describe how breathtaking and memorable it was. From our guide Frank who was very personable, friendly and knowledgeable, to the animals that we had the privilege of seeing while on our trip. It was easy to plan our trip and Frank provided all the needed details to make it a great experience. It was worth every penny to have a once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend Frank and his company to give you the best safari experience.

10/10 experience
I had the most amazing experience ever. Everything was perfect. Frank was my guide and as a solo female traveller I could not have asked for a better guide. I really recommend and would go with them again.
