10 Day Western Uganda Budget Wildlife Safari

This was a great experience! We loved our trip with Bamboo and would recommend it to others who like hiking. We did a gorilla trek, two chimp treks, a golden monkey trek, and a hike in the park on our last day! However, I would recommend skipping the Batwa Cultural experience. Our third party guide for that spent the entire time disparaging the tribe - also, we were shown a tarp that we were told a mother and her three children live under. We were there with three other tourist groups. It caused questions as to where the $25/person was going if not to the village. Our Batwa cultural experience lasted 35 minutes rather than the 2-3 hours advertised. Our driver, Amanya, was great.

Great tour. Our tour guide for the entire trip was named Chance. We had the most amazing Gorilla trek as well as Chimp trek. We were within a few feet of both primate species during our trek. We had amazing videos. Also Chance is at top quality birding guide. We saw the Shoebill, and grey crowned cranes in mating dance. AMAZING! We also saw. lions, lions in trees, a cheetah, hippos, cape buffalos, etc. can't say enough positive about Chance! Edison arranged our tour. He was prompt in communicating and excellent in organizing our tour. Hotels were very good. Some with fantastic views. Food was also very good. We didn't get sick one time. 10 out of 10!

Just the Greatest!! I contacted Edison for a private tour 10-day for my husband and me. Edison was very responsive, knowledgeable, and flexible. I had previously contacted an international travel agency, and their proposal was over our budget. When we told them it was too expensive, the other agency's solution was to shorten the trip, but Edison planned the same trip for much less. His recommendations ended up being spot on. Fred was our driver/guide in Western Uganda There was never a down moment with him. Always helpful, always knowledgeable, and fun. Sometimes I had trouble with the accent but that was true for me with most Ugandans. I didn't complain since they were the ones speaking English while I wasn't speaking in their language. It was hard to leave Fred and return home I think about our trip every day. My heart wants to return. Maybe I will get there again.
