I do not know how to appreciate all of the services provided to us including information about the National Park. We not only enjoyed the trip but also the environment education provided to us through your company. That was very useful. Thank you very much.

The ideal organisation for our trip around Uganda!!!
In July 2025 my 2 teenage kids and me were travelling to Uganda! What an experience!!! As soon as we got in touch with African Runners Company it was a great pleasure to start to organise our trip with the most sympatic and helpful Patience from the ARC-office in Kampala. The proposed tour was afterall the perfect mixture of adventure, sightseeing and relaxing. Driving through Uganda in a huge Toyota Landcruiser, George our Guide and Driver showed us all the hidden gems of this amazing country. Our tour: Kampala - Murchison Falls NP - Kibale NP - Queen Elisabeth NP - Ishasa - Bwindi NP - Lake Mburo NP - Kampala Many big thanks to ARC for making our dream of Uganda with sooooo many amazing impressions come true. Especially we want to thank Patience and George for their great effort throughout the planning and the journey.

Truly exceptional !
Review for Our Incredible ARC Driver Mr Matovu Ali. Our journey with ARC to Jinja, Kanungu, and Kampala was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to our amazing driver Ali. From the very start, he showed the utmost professionalism, kindness, and respect, making our trip not just smooth but truly memorable. He took the time to show us around Jinja, ensuring we experienced the beauty of the place while prioritizing our comfort and safety. His knowledge of the area and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference. When we travelled to Kanungu to visit my mother’s burial site, his compassion, helpfulness and understanding touched our hearts deeply. He handled every aspect of the trip with care, patience, and a level of thoughtfulness that is rare to find. After Kanungu, we visited Kampala, and he once again went above and beyond. He made a special effort to show us the new places around the city, giving us an experience we wouldn’t have had on our own. Exploring Kampala wouldn’t have been better without him—his knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm made every moment enjoyable. What stood out most was his dedication to our well-being—always mindful of safety, considerate of our needs, and consistently respectful. He is not just a skilled driver but also a genuinely good person who made our journey so much more meaningful ~ I feel I have gained a brother. If you ever need a driver through ARC, I wholeheartedly recommend him. Thank you for making this trip so special for us! Thank you ARC !

Wonderful experience
We traveled with ARC to the Queen Elizabeth National Park from Kampala. The driver was very friendly and always cared us gentlely. During the movement in the park, he collected information where we could see animals and worked hard to give us great experience, resulting we saw elephants in communities, lions and hiena in the park. He loved animals himself. His guidance and explanation about the park and animals were fruitful and joyful. We shared experience of the park and lodge each other and made laugh. When we decided to change our plan suddenly, ARC accpeted flexibly, and it made our trip wondeful. Whenever we had questions, we could count on ARC and they were so friendly to develop a trip plan as well. They kindly suggested nice options to discover hidden Uganda! We really enjoyed and had great time throughout the trip!
