I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Pamoja Tours for making our nine-day trip so memorable. We had a wonderful time with you guys and would love to come back one day!
First off, I have to say that the travel consultant Regina was very pleasant in our initial contact. She answered all my questions with a quick responding time, provided different options and rates, and advised on various aspects such as weather, categories and best time to visit until the itinerary was perfect. The owner Mr. Sperito Mukiibi picked us up at the airport personally and was very laid back and friendly, which immediately put us at ease after our long flight. Upon our request, he also took us to have a delicious Rolex (must try!) on our first day. We felt like both of them went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time during our tour. Also, they went the extra mile by making our Valentine’s Day in Uganda unique.
Our guide City Tyson is a very positive and knowledgeable person, and through him we learned so much about the animals and the environment. He was always able to answer any questions we had about the wildlife or history of the area we were visiting and is truly a walking encyclopedia. A Bwindi native himself, he also made sure we got into the best group for gorilla tracking :) He also took us to try various fruits and dishes during our drives and organized two spontaneous “picnics” with marvelous views and delicious snacks.
We had a very smooth trip despite the road condition and long distance. The lodges we stayed at were each unique in their own way, and had great views and amenities. The food in the lodges was amazing, particularly the local one. The lodge we enjoyed most and recommend was Mahagony Springs in Bwindi, not to be missed if you go for gorilla tracking!
At the end of our tour, the team of Pamoja Tours met us again personally and asked us for our feedback on our tour and made sure we were happy with how it went. We will definitely recommend Pamoja to everyone who visits East Africa and would go for them again when we have the chance.
