Independent feedback from travellers who explored Uganda with us
From airport pickup to final drop-off, everything worked. Adventure In The Wild Safaris is professional, warm, and clearly experienced with international guests.
As solo travellers we felt safe and well looked after throughout. Permits, park fees, and lodge check-ins were all sorted before we arrived — stress-free from day one.
Professional from start to finish. Transparent pricing, timely updates on WhatsApp, and a fantastic Murchison Falls extension. Highly trusted local operator.
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.
Well-organised overland safari with comfortable 4x4s and excellent spotters. We saw lions, elephants, and chimps — and gorilla day ran like clockwork.
Gorilla permits, transfers, and lodge standards were all handled professionally. Our ranger briefing was thorough and the trek itself was the experience of a lifetime.
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.
Responsive on email and WhatsApp, fair pricing, and a fantastic Murchison boat cruise. The whole team made our Uganda trip feel personal rather than packaged.
