10 Days Uganda Gorilla, Chimpanzee & Wildlife Safari

Prime Safaris was a pleasure to work with from our first contact with Cate in the office to saying goodbye to Annais and Charles after a fabulous 9 days! We started in Murchison Falls and made our way down the west of Uganda, including incredible game drives, chimpanzee and gorilla trekking and stunning river cruises! I highly recommend this Ugandan owned safari company to anyone interested in experiencing the lovely hospitality of the Uganda people and the diverse and beautiful national parks of this very special country. My group of 11 are well-travelled people and we agreed this adventure was the best of all of our travels!

I wish I could give a 10! From the start with the communication from Cate planning the trip and organizing the 11 of us comming from 8 different locations in the US. Each lodge we stayed in got better and better. This was a trip of a lifetime for me. We traveled with 5 college friends and family. We bonded even more during our adventure. Our guides Charles and Ananias have now become part of our family. As we ended the trip some of us were crying. Who cries as a trip comes to an end??? Our guides got us from one end of Uganda to the other and back with precision time and lots of extras. Happy hour, banana hooch, jack fruit, craft shopping, and drum music. The food on the tour was amazing. Who knew Uganda has so much to offer. Felt safe the whole time. Already planning our trip back to explore the eastern side of Uganda.

I cannot rate Prime Safaris highly enough. This was truly one of the most memorable travel experiences (and experiences in general!) of my entire life. We were a large group (11 people, split over two vehicles), and our guides Charles and Ananias went above and beyond in ensuring that we had the best experience possible. I think I speak for our entire group when I say, honestly, that we would not change a single thing about our entire trip. Prime Safaris exceeded expectations on every level. I was in Charles’s vehicle, and spent time with him primarily, but got to know Ananias as well and can vouch for both of them equally as being some of the most caring, dedicated guides. By the end of the trip, I am proud to call them my friends, and will absolutely be reaching out to them in the future for another Uganda safari with Prime Safaris. Charles and Ananias are perfect ambassadors for Prime Safaris, and for the country of Uganda on the whole. Besides seeing amazing scenery and wildlife, we had unique cultural experiences as well, including some unexpected ones which our guides organized to surprise us. We always felt safe and cared for throughout the duration of our journey, and were given invaluable experiences that will stick with us forever. The days were well-organized and always went smoothly, and Charles and Ananias seemed to know everything there is to know about the culture, wildlife, and parks that we encountered, while also being personable and professional. We saw leopard, chimps, gorillas, elephants, giraffes, zebras—all the animals you would hope to see on a safari. But honestly, my favorite part was befriending our guides and getting to know them over the course of the trip. Going into this, I expected to have guides that could answer questions and show us around, but was not expecting to also make close friends who I will cherish forever. A truly profound experience. It felt like having a personal friend show you around this beautiful country. If you are considering a safari in Uganda, choose Prime Safaris, and if you can, go with Charles or Ananias. You will not regret it. Whenever I return to Uganda, they will be the first people I contact.
