Guest Experiences
Our trip to Uganda with Nick Uganda Safaris — three friends traveling together — fully met our expectations and even exceeded them. We are still enjoying the memories!
Nick’s professional yet warm approach made all the difference. Both the planned activities and our spontaneous requests were handled smoothly. It truly felt like a tailor-made journey.
For example, on our way to Lake Mutanda, we noticed an orphanage along the road. Nick arranged for us to respectfully meet the children — a deeply touching and meaningful experience.
There were so many unforgettable moments: meeting the Batwa community at Lake Bunyonyi, hiking to the Mukozi Community, spotting gold miners near Rushaga, exploring the colorful markets of Kampala, enjoying fresh fish at Ggaba Beach, and an incredible safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
The absolute highlight was our encounter with the Posho Gorilla Group in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, after a long but beautiful walk through endless tea plantations. It was truly magical.
Every evening we enjoyed delicious food, clean rooms, WiFi, friendly staff and charming lodges — with Gorilla Valley Lodge as our favorite.
With Nick Uganda Safaris, you can be sure you get excellent value for your money. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover Uganda in an authentic, warm and perfectly organized way.
