Reliable and good value for the money w'have paid.
Me and my partner have been around, if you know what I mean. Earlier we took out our bikes for a trip in Bangladesh. W'have seen lot's of country's in Asia, but Bangladesh was an eyeopener, once again!! What a country. As you problebly know, the dutch like biking. So in 2014 we had a nice conversation with Sander van Zanten, being the owner / manager of grassrootz. The main question was wether we wanted "him" as the organiser of our trip in Oeganda. Having our first coffee, Sander gave us this feeling of "doing business with him, w'll be alright". So, 2 dutchmen took again their bikes out, this time for making a trip in Oeganda. Sander arranged a big four-wheel drive with a rooftent and of we go, soon after our arrival in Oeganda. The first 2 nights we spend in his hotel, as we had to prepare our bikes and other things. On the 3th day we went off, together with our driver Paul. As he also spoke English, there whould be lot's of nice conversations ahead, talking about the history, habits and developments in his country.
We never felt uncertain with him, being our "tourleader" during the trip.
Sometimes we took our bikes from the big Toyota landcruiser and cycled ahead.
We spent about 3 weeks in Oeganda, doing "the grand tour". W'have seen all the places of interest. Even the north part. Don't skip this part of the country, because "the kidepo national park" w'll gave you the feeling that Linvingstone must have had, lot's of time's during his expeditions. :-)
Sometimes we slept in a questhouse / hotel. Good value afcouse, but many time's we slept on the top of our car, just "somewhere". As I came back in Holland, the first thing I wanted to buy, was a rooftent for my own car, what an experience!!!!
Oeganda is facinating. I have seen allot, already and not only in Europe if
you know what I mean!!! It's people, it's country-sides, it's "easy to do things feeling", it's diversities, whauw..
So, being an experienced tarffeler, I know at what time one can speak "of good value".
Being back in Holland, I have recommended "grassrootzuganda" to my frind's. Some of them whent as well, some of them made other choices until now. There is so much to see in the world!!
The one's who dit go, never where disappointed.
If you have to decide, whether you should go to Oeganda as well, don't have any doubts about the quality of the program and the integrity of the management. It's all oke.
If you want any further information, just send an email: [email protected]
Maybe I am not able to answer your questions instantly. If so, I'am probably on my bicycle somewhere.
After all, that's what the Dutch do, cycling around -:).

Uganda a MUST-SEE travel destination specially with Grassrootz Adventure!!
Grassrootz Adventure is a great organization for an unforgettable safari!
It was the second time we booked a safari with Grassrootz Adventure, because the first time we had a really good experience with them.
We planned the trip by our selves and the guide gave us good advice for campings, hotels, restaurants and amazing places where we never go by ourselves.
One night we slept in the middle of the jungle by the river between Congo and Uganda.
We heard a lot of sounds from wild animals like elephants,lions and hippo's, very exciting!!
Both times we had a reliable driver and a very experienced guide, we saw a lot of wildlife even some climbing tree lions.
We had close contact with the local people and we visited the Karamoja and other projects.
So if you want a great safari and if you want to see the culture of Uganda, Grassrootz Adventure is the best choice!!

Had an amazing time
I had an amazing time on the 3-day safari to Murchison Falls. Everything was very well organized and the guides were very kind. The accommodations were not very luxurious, but the basics (cold shower, toilet, electricity, mosquito nets, etc.) were there.

Legendary Adventure!
Grassrootz Adventures provided the most epic trip I ever had with their unique combination of wilderness and culture! We slept in between hunting lions in a tent! Their drivers are the best and are perfect to get more information about the land and areas. Their service is great and give you exactly what you can only dream of! If you are looking for the best views, the most legendary experience and best interaction with the people you should always travel with Grassrootz Adventures!

Very knowledgeable guides/drivers. Professional
Grassrootz Adventures is good at listening to our wishes and able to translate these wishes into a realistic adventurous itinerary. They are very friendly and even during the tour flexible regarding our demands. They are able to offer activities which I did not find by other tour companies. We learned a lot about the country, the people and the animals. A life time experience.

An excellent and unique experience in Uganda.
The period prior to the actual trip was already pleasant. The (email) communication was personal and quick, we had enough room to express our wishes. The tour itself was wonderful. Our driver/guide George was a knowledgeable and very friendly man. We felt safe and learned a lot about this marvelous country and its inhabitants.
