Independent feedback from travellers who explored Uganda with us
We chose Adventure in the Wild Safaris after reading reviews and were not disappointed. Bwindi gorilla day and Lake Mburo extension were both superbly organised.
Knowledgeable guides, clean vehicles, and thoughtful itinerary design. We felt we saw the real Uganda without rushing — exactly what we wanted from a local operator.
Professional from start to finish. Transparent pricing, timely updates on WhatsApp, and a fantastic Murchison Falls extension. Highly trusted local operator.
Our first gorilla trek was handled perfectly — briefing, pacing, and lodge choices all made sense. Adventure in the Wild Safaris is a team you can trust in Uganda.
Chimp tracking in Kibale and game drives in Queen Elizabeth were highlights of our honeymoon. The guides were friendly, punctual, and genuinely proud of their country.
We booked a family gorilla and savannah combo — kids loved every day. Adventure in the Wild Safaris balanced adventure with comfort and kept us informed at every step.
Excellent logistics for a short 5-day safari. Every driver was on time, every lodge matched the description, and the office team answered questions quickly.
Great value for a private safari. Our guide knew the parks intimately and adjusted the route when wildlife sightings were best. Highly recommend for photographers.
