Super tour in uganda to the wildlife life - This was a superb tour... our 12 Day trip in uganda was beautifully crafted, taking us through the long history of the Mabamba wetland and travelling from the busy Kampala to the green West of uganda . The accommodation was wonderful and the food, local banana wine in kibale forest prepared by locals the experiences truly memorable and finishing the trip with a visit to Mabamba wetland at lake Victoria to see the shoebill after failing to see it at Murchison falls national park. The guides both went to great lengths to provide us with experiences much beyond expectations and I cannot thank them enough. I recommend this company !

Once in a lifetime! - Spent the day with Musah and our boatmen. So satified. 10+!! Watched at great length a juvenile 6 month old bird trying to catch fish. Then his father, a huge guy flies in to seem to check on him. Then flies off again. What more could I ask for?
