Yusuf is an excellent guide—knowledgeable, helpful, and incredibly flexible. He went out of his way to accommodate my request for bungee jumping, making the experience even more thrilling. Despite my tight schedule, he efficiently covered multiple attractions in a single day, ensuring I made the most of my trip. I truly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend him to others!

Yesterday I went on a tour to Jinja to see the source of the river Nile. I went with my guide Yusuf and he was absolutely amazing. On the way to Jinja we stopped for about one hour walk in the tropical forests and this walk was very nice. Then we got to Jinja and to the place from where the tour boat starts. The views at Lake Victoria are breathtaking. So magnificent and beautiful, I cannot describe it with words. The boat ride is peaceful, we saw a lot of birds, and to be at the source of the longest river, see where it starts already so powerful, and to be able to touch the water right there, for me it was a magical feeling. I want to thank Yusuf again for this wonderful trip. Thank you Pavel
