10-Day Wildlife Big 5, Murchison Falls and Gorilla Safari

An absolute experience of a lifetime. A missed flight from Doha meant we arrived on Entebbe half a day later than planned. This was no problem for Lulu safaris who arranged to pick us up at the airport. We were met at the airport by our brilliant guide Samuel. Samuel was quick to reassure us that he had rearranged a few timings over the first 2 days to ensure we didn’t miss out on anything during our trip. Over the next 8 days we saw things that we could only ever have imagined before. A real up close and personal adventure with Ugandas wildlife. Whether it be watching herds of elephants pass by us, up close with Rhinos, boating past bathing hippos and crocodiles or watching a group of chimpanzees in the forest the trip brought excitement at every turn, brought to us by our guide Samuel who seemed really proud to bring Uganda to us. There were so many close sightings of these animals that great memories were created by just using our phones for pictures. Along the way we stayed at a number of lodges who were always welcoming and made sure we were always over fed. The highlight of the trip tho was definitely trekking the rainforest and spending an hour in the presence of a Gorilla troop. To be so close to these amazing animals and watching their babies play just feet from us was truly the most amazing experience. The only negative from our whole experience was the lack of communication from Lulu safaris in the weeks leading up to our holiday which caused a little apprehension before we left home, a little more attention to detail in this area would have been welcomed. Overall tho we couldn’t recommend Lulu Safaris high enough. They delivered a truly wonderful experience travelling through Uganda. And last of all a massive shout out to our amazing guide Samuel who brought this all together as an amazing private tour. Dinner won’t be same not sharing our table with him. Thank you.

Great experience! We saw a lot of animals thanks to trekking and numerous safaris, also held at different times (night game drive not to be missed) and thanks to the availability of our guide Samuel. Expert and very passionate, he allowed us to really spot many species and also to appreciate particular and beautiful birds. It made us fully appreciate all the beauty enclosed in this Pearl of Africa! The experience with the gorillas was really impressive, we didn't think we would be so close to them and watching them for about an hour was wonderful. The organization was excellent in all respects, even with any changes to the program according to the needs of the moment. We stayed in excellent facilities, with a lot of attention to health and safety and in all we found warm hospitality and excellent cuisine. We definitely recommend Lulu safaris for this tour, very complete and with experiences of various kinds that allow you to live a truly magnificent and unforgettable journey!

This tour through Uganda was an unforgettable experience — it is such a beautiful country! And the amount of animals we have seen was just mind-blowing — on day one we‘ve already seen the Big 5. Then, to see chimps and the endangered mountain gorillas from so up-close (c. 3m) was just amazing. Plus, all hotels resp. lodges were v. nice and all had amazing views. Last but not least our guide Lorand was such a great companion with an astounding knowledge of the animal world and every aspect of Uganda. And he always made sure we got v. close and got the best angle to make pictures of the animals:) If you want to have an adventurous holiday w/ lots of wildlife, versatile nature and insight into African culture Uganda resp. Lulu Safari is the way to go!
