One hell of an adventure
We had a 10 days Trip with African Finfoot Safaris with their Guides and Drivers, Eddie and Abdu respectively. It was a blend of dental charity and adventure. Giving back to the underserved communities. I really appreciate the navigation, panctuality, eloquence and teamwork shown by Eddie and his team. We helped people together, the company even donated supplies to us. We visited the parks, enjoys the scenic views of nature with vast wildlife, cultural experiences and gorilla trekking in Bwindi national park and all the way through Kigali.

Extraordinary experience with expert guides and a deep connection to the heart of Uganda.
I had the most amazing experience with African Finfoot Safaris during my three-week trip to Uganda in December 2024 and January 2025. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe, welcomed, and well-cared for. My guide, Edrisa, was outstanding—professional, respectful, and incredibly friendly. He is a skilled driver, navigating all types of terrain with ease, and his deep knowledge of Uganda made the journey even more enriching. Edrisa is not only a guide but also a bridge to the local communities, offering activities that allow you to connect with the culture in meaningful ways. He is a fantastic conversationalist, flexible, and always willing to adapt to your needs. His ability to surprise us with little touches throughout the trip made the experience even more special. Whether it was recommending unique accommodations with breathtaking views or sharing insights into Ugandan culture, everything was meticulously planned yet flexible enough to enjoy on our own terms. Overall, this trip exceeded all my expectations, and I would wholeheartedly recommend African Finfoot Safaris for anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Uganda.

Great unforgettable experience with African Finfoot Safaris!
Our experience with African Finfoot Safaris has been one of the best we've ever lived in our long travellers life. It was a 5 days trip and there were just two of us: my wife and me. The highlights of the trip were the Gorilla and Chimps trekking, but we actually loved every single moment of our journey. Projecting and scheduling our trip with Edrisa, the owner of the agency, was just smooth and easy. Edrisa is very experienced, helpful, honest, clear and... kind! Trust him, every single suggestion and hint from him is just... gold. We had other experiences in the past with local agencies, and the one with African Finfoot Safaris has been absolutely the best. We had the luck to have Obed as our guide throughout the 5 days: he is very knowledgeable, patient, experienced, flexible and again... kind! In the end, we were blessed to meet a new precious friend in this short, intense and unforgettable week.
