Independent feedback from travellers who explored Uganda with us
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.
Outstanding gorilla trekking experience. Guides were knowledgeable, vehicles comfortable, and every lodge exceeded expectations. Would book again without hesitation.
Professional from start to finish. Transparent pricing, timely updates on WhatsApp, and a fantastic Murchison Falls extension. Highly trusted local operator.
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.
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.
Well-organised overland safari with comfortable 4x4s and excellent spotters. We saw lions, elephants, and chimps — and gorilla day ran like clockwork.
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 combined chimps, gorillas, and Queen Elizabeth — everything connected seamlessly. Adventure in the Wild Safaris delivered exactly what they promised.
