A most magical experience.
Right from the start when our guide Richard picked us we had the most amazing hoilday and experience. We were told each stop would be the experience of a life time and this was not wrong. Richard helped us navigate and even adapt our itinery to get the best out of our Uganda trip. A better guide we could not hope for, we felt safe and in good hands at all times. The accomidation and travel was spot on. I can't wait to come back again now that I know what this Magical country has to offer. Than you Grassrootz, Anne, Richard and all the team behind the scenes for making this trip special and never to be forgotten. My life time dream of visiting the Gorillas finally came true, but the trip offered so much more.

Grassrootz Adventures was excellent, the trip provided me with an amazing experience!
First of all the itinerary was tailor made as I had very limited time. Sander van Zanten, the founder of the company was very helpful in putting together the programme to really meet my needs and priorities, he was very responsive and straightforward which i found very helpful. This honesty and felxibility was the main reason I chose to travel with Grassrootz.
Once on the ground I had an excellent guide, Moses Kabubi, who was extremely helpful throughout and ensured I used our time to the maximum. He was very helpful in arranging local birdwatching tours, which for example were arranged locally and in esnuring everything ran according to clockwork. He is also very knowledgeable about the wildlife we saw and about the country and its communities, everything we did was done with respecting wildlife and local communities. I feel the overall value for money was very good too, we stayed in good, but not luxury lodges that were environment conscious. I had amazing experiences that were rich and varied, spending time in close contact with gorillas and chimpanzees was unforgettable, but the fantastic wildlife in the different national parks in addition to the ever changing landscape and smiling people made for a wonderful journey.

Safari Bigfive Chimpanzees Gorilla
I had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable trip to Uganda with an outstanding tour operator. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Each safari was an absolute dream, and I was fortunate enough to see a wide variety of animals, including all of the Big Five.
I would especially like to highlight our guide, Eddy. He was simply amazing! Eddy provided us with incredible insights not only about the animals but also about the country, its culture, and society. His knowledge and passion made the trip an unforgettable experience.
The chimpanzee and gorilla trekking were simply incredible and beyond words. I will never forget these unique encounters in the wild.
The accommodations we booked were all excellent. The staff were always friendly and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.
I can only highly recommend this tour operator – it was the trip of a lifetime!

Traveling to Uganda with Grassrootz Adventure was an extraordinary, well-organized and unforgettable
I had the pleasure of traveling to Uganda this July with Grassrootz Adventures, and it was an extraordinary experience. The communication with the agency was excellent from the beginning, with prompt and detailed responses to all inquiries.
The service provided was impeccable. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate, and the entire staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. The trip offered excellent value for money, with high-quality accommodations, meals, and exclusive experiences that were well worth the cost. The tour was highly reliable, with everything running smoothly and any minor issues swiftly handled.
Uganda's beauty was showcased perfectly, from gorilla trekking in Bwindi to exploring Queen Elizabeth National Park and experiencing the local culture.
Overall, traveling to Uganda with Grassrootz Adventures was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Uganda.

Customer-focussed, well organised and providing good value for money
What started with a gorilla and chimp trekking holiday, was expanded to a fun-packed 18-day trip (thanks to Sander's personal involvement), which delivered all the way through. We were very impressed with our accommodation throughout, both in terms of quality and cleanliness, but also the locations. Visiting the primates was absolutely fantastic, of course, but we also enjoyed the game drives in particular in Murchison and Mburo NP, and the Carnivore-project led game drive to see the lions in QENP. Barnice was our driver guide, who safely navigated us around the country and helped to add relevant excursions as we went along. Grassrootz is definitely customer focussed, which was perfectly demonstrated by both Barnice and Sander who helped us overcome some difficulty we had after the holiday had ended. Thanks again. If you want to go to Uganda, make sure you go with Grassrootz!

100% recommend
Had a fantastic 15-day trip through Uganda, which was perfectly organized by Sander and with a very pleasant guide Bob. After some research we ended up at Sander's company Grassrootz and we were very enthusiastic from the very first moment. Because Sander lived in Uganda and works with local partners, he has all the expertise to put together a great trip and he is also very accessible by telephone. Together we have been able to put together a program that fulfilled all our wishes. Everything was arranged down to the last detail with beautiful lodges, good food, pleasant guide, you name it. It was also communicated everywhere that it was our honeymoon, so in several places we were surprised with a nice surprise. Our guide Bob was especially good at what you look for in a guide, reliable in traffic, friendly, many connections and continuously concerned with whether our interests were being prioritized. All in all, a beautiful country to visit with a variety of nature, animals and culture, and we can 100% recommend this company to anyone who would like to make an impressive trip through Uganda in a safe and comfortable way!

Excellent trip! would highly recommend Grassrootz! 3 Day Gorilla Trek Uganda
Absolutely amazing experience! we did 3 day gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. the booking process was really easy and straightforward I reached out to Sander via WhatsApp then paid and deposit then paid then outstanding balance a few weeks later via international bank transfer. once we arrived in Uganda - Entebbe we were picked up by Moses and driven to Bwindi which takes around 11 hrs the roads are really dusty so be prepared the route is scenic so you won't get bored! mosses stops as many times as you like for toilet and coffee breaks etc! once we got to Bwindi we got a free upgrade in the lodge we were staying in!!! BONUS!! perfect the place was amazing right on the edge of the forest with amazing views! Moses was such a lovely guy extremely attentive and knowledgeable we could not have wished for a nicer guide! sop THANK YOU MOSES you're amazing!!! now to the gorilla trek! it was amazing !!! everything we had wished for!!! one the trip was complete was staying another night then drove back the next day to Entebbe, if your thinking of booking an excursion with Grassrootz DO IT!!! you won't be disappointed Uganda is such a beautiful country!! we will deffo be back!!!

Emmy was very adept at doing what ever it takes for us to have the best experience.
Our tour was packed full of adventure. There was always something amazing to see. The accommodations were clean and the service was exceptional. All the guides were so educated on the animals and locations, as well as eggar to answer any questions. Grassrootz Adventures tour package took care of all our needs, we only paid for gratuity. Sander Van Zanten arranged our entire package to suit our needs and Emmy our driver would stop at nothing to be sure we were well taken care of.
I have recommended Grassrootz Adventure to all my friends.
