Thanks, excellent organisation
Everything worked out very well. I had a good driver, and coming back I still made it to my connecting flight. I was visiting the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Forest, and I was very lucky. I could see them very, very well!

well organized and safe trip through Uganda
We booked our family vacation through destination jungle. We were in contact via Mail and phone and Christina was helpfull and a knowledgable local advisor to discuss the comfort and advantages and disadvantages of the various lodges. It was a fantastic trip, we have seen most of the highlights (only the leopard didn't want to show up), were driven safely from Charles our driver who answered all our questions and was always prepared to talk about the country, the life and the animals in Uganda. We will definitly come back.

Professionals at work
We travel the world several times a year with guides. Destination Jungle Safaris has so far been the best company in terms of preparation and implemenation.
Excellent guide James who speaks perfect german (better as much germans :-)) with extensive knowledge and superior about land, people, culture and wildlife. Vehicles in technically perfect condition. The well-being of the guest is very important to this company.
High quality standard also from backoffice (Christina).
This journey will remain unforgotten. We love Uganda.
Thanks to the whole team of Destinations Jungle Safaris

Paradise in Uganda
I visited Uganda in November of 2015. I was extremely happy with the professionalism , the English knowledge and the cultural knowledge of my guide Charles Wagaana . The trip was a dream come true. Charles made sure that I'd have a first rate cultural experience, interacting with local population, stopping to eat local food and experiencing local music and local dances form the variety of tribes that make up Uganda. Extremely pleased with the services of Destination Jungle. I will definitely use them again and I highly recommend the company.

A superb experience giving us a wide view of western Uganda, it's scenery, animals and way of life!
The pre holiday communication was excellent, with emails and phone calls from Christina. We mostly followed a company tour of Western Uganda. After the first night in Kampala, with amazing views of lake Victoria, we travelled to Murchison Falls in the north west, then south through game parks and wonderful scenery.
Ismail, our guide really put himself out to make sure that we had a fantastic experience, and he succeeded. He was determined to find the leopard living in the ruins of the burnt out lodge. Success! The game drives were varied and the boat trips too gave us splendid animal and bird viewings as well as a visit to a fishing village and a local school. The chimpanzee trek, relatively easy walking through the forest, was well rewarded with the chimpanzees in the trees and then on the ground, so close to us. The gorilla trek over challenging terrain was a real highlight. It was worth every penny, a real MUST DO! Ismail looked after us so well, making sure that we were in the group for the nearest gorilla family because of our age etc. But the guides were all determined that we would all succeed and enjoy the experience. They had even carried one lady all the way back. I was determined that wouldn't be me!!!!!! The gorilla family of 10 or 11, with two babies, was so close. They moved around and entertained us for about an hour, then began to melt into the forest. They knew our time was up!!! What an experience. We were so pleased we made it.
The roads /tracks were an experience in themselves and we were so grateful for the land cruiser with its good suspension. Even so it was a rough old ride in places. A mini bus would not have been so good.
The lodges were all very comfortable, all with mosquito nets, and beautiful locations. The menus were limited because there were so few other guests. But the choice was adequate and the food very acceptable. The service was amazing throughout. All staff were so anxious to please, they insisted on cleaning our boots after the trek, and also ironed a couple of shirts I had washed. I even had an impromptu late birthday cake at the first lodge!
We were just thrilled with the whole trip. Many thanks to Ismail for his care and commitment in making it such a memorable adventure.

The Nile adventure safari with Destination Jungle Safaris
We begin our trip plans to visit Uganda in July last year and having made contact with various companies to provide us with itineraries and quotes, we found this company Destination Jungle more desirable for our travels.
The lady who was in contact with us, Christina was very informative, very friendly and also very professional with all our questions about our concerns. The trip was well organised and the guide we were assigned was perfect. Patrick was always very concerned with our comfort and he is a careful driver. So many animals he showed to us and also surprised us with interesting stories about the culture in Uganda. We loved our trip and have no complaints. We don't hesitate to recommend it

Great time in the Ruwenzori's with Destination Jungle
Together with two friends I did a 9 day trekking and the ascend of Mt Margaritha and Mt Speke organised by Destination Jungle. We had a great time. On the airport there was a pick up, we had a good hotel in Entebbe, a perfect drive to the Ruwenzori, the trekking was good organised (only the food could have been al little bit better) and after the trekking Destination Jungle had a big suprise for us. We stayed our last night in a very nice resort near the crater lakes. A big treat after spending nine days in the mountains. I checked other touristorganisations for trekking in the Ruwenzori's and Destination Jungle gives us the best price and the quality was high.

Don't Worry, Be Happy.
Destination Jungle could easily adopt the title of the song, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" as their slogan. I originally contacted Destination Jungle because they offered the best rates for the trip I wanted. All through the planning process, my agent, Christina, happily answered all my questions (and there were quite a few) and made suggestions for the optimal experience in my travel to Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania. When I arrived at my first destination, Christina was there to introduce herself and brief me on the itinerary. She and my guides were accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel welcome and at ease in my travel as a single woman in unfamiliar territory. I couldn't ask for more. Traveling with Destination Jungle was a wonderful experience, and I was absolutely "happy", with "no worry". Thanks, Destination Travel!

Fantastic experience sitting with the gorillas!
Two friends and I traveled to Volcanoes National Park with Destination Jungle. Our guide Kirenga was so knowledgeable about Rwandan history that he gave us insightful context throughout our visit. The agency organized our visas for golden monkey and gorilla visitations. We stayed at the beautiful and comfortable Mountain Gorilla view Lodge. What a nice place to come home to after spending the morning in the wet and muddy jungle!
