12-Day Pearl of Africa Wildlife and Adventure Highlights

We did a 12-day tour which was completely taken care of by Lulu Safaris. Together with our guide and driver Samuel, we have been to all the interesting places in Uganda from Kampala. What a wonderful experience that was. Samuel completely unburdened us and expertly drove past rhinos, giraffes, elephants, chimpanzees, gorillas and what not. With a lot of expertise he showed us what beautiful birds there are. During the rides in nice conversations he told a lot about his country, life in Uganda and many other interesting things. 11 days together in a car could lead to discussion or unpleasant silences. That was not the case with us, we talked about anything and everything and got along just fine. We made the trip with the two of us and the nice thing about this setup is that you also make the game drives with your own vehicle so that you can stop where you want and take as long as you think necessary. The planning with all lodges and organizations was perfectly arranged, we were expected everywhere and were on time for all appointments, which deserves a compliment. The car in which we made the tour was an original Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series with a roof that could be opened, perfect for the game drives and completely in style for an optimal experience. We really enjoyed our trip through Uganda and thank everyone who contributed to this.

Our tour with Lulu has been great. We’ve been a total of 12 days with them, both in Uganda and Rwanda. We started our trip from Entebbe-Jinja, and then Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elisabeth, Ishasha, Bwindi and Kigali. We had the pleasure to have Derrick as our guide. He’s a lovely person, very knowledgeable and attentive to details. He always had the right answer for any curiosity we had, he also constantly commented whatever we could see on the way and also asked about our needs to make a stop constantly. He really gave a very personal touch during our trip, and made it extremely special. He also taught us some hints of the local language! All lodges were carefully selected together, and the experience was overall very good. There were minor issues in some of them like no hot water or good conexion, but it is what it is, they were in very remote locations. Need to highligh that Elvis, the owner, was 24/7 available on whatsapp for any concern we might have on our way. We’ve been lucky to discover Uganda from Lulu’s & specially Derrick’s hands. We can truly say now it is the Pearl of Africa, it offers many diff activities: safari, gorilla & chimps trecks, city tours, rafting, communities visit… We can state we came back with our hearts fulfilled and all desires accomplished. Thank you so much Derrick & Elvis, hope to travel with you guys again!
