Independent feedback from travellers who explored Uganda with us
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.
Can highly recommend a safari with Adventure in the Wild. Simon was responsive and communication was excellent throughout planning and while we were on the ground in Uganda.
From airport pickup to final drop-off, everything worked. Adventure In The Wild Safaris is professional, warm, and clearly experienced with international guests.
We travelled with Adventure in the Wild Safaris and are grateful we chose this team. From the first enquiry to the final day, communication was clear and the itinerary felt personally tailored.
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.
Your company's planning and execution are excellent, well worth your money and time. Permits, lodges, and transport were handled without stress — we could focus on the wildlife.
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.
Outstanding gorilla trekking experience. Guides were knowledgeable, vehicles comfortable, and every lodge exceeded expectations. Would book again without hesitation.
