Our 10 day tour with Lulu’s guide Brian exceeded our expectations and was an outstanding experience.
5/5

We gave 5 stars because Lulu Safaris delivered the tour as quoted from airport pickup, experienced guide, reliable vehicle, good accommodation.
We packed a lot in the 10 days from rhinos at Ziwa, game drives at Murchison Falls, chimpanzees at Kibale, gorillas at Bwindi and leopards stalking zebras at Lake Mburo.
Brian ensured we saw as much as possible- far more than the big five.
The tour was also far more than a safari as it was a road trip around Uganda allowing us to see the country, visit communities and interact with many Ugandans .
Thank you Brian and Lulu Safaris for a wonderful experience.

Trip of a Lifetime!
5/5

My son and I recently returned from a 10-day trip to Uganda and it was amazing! It was a trip of a lifetime! Everything went as planned from the time we were picked up at the airport in Entebbe to when we were dropped off to return home.

I researched several tour companies and I'm so glad I decided on Lulu Safaris. Elvis, the owner, was friendly and accomodating during the entire booking process. He answered all my questions and responded to my messages quickly. He even sent me their operating license and certificates with the Uganda Tourism Board when I requested them.

Our guide was Derrick and he was fantasic! He was very friendly and made us feel safe from start to finish. He drove my son and I over 3,000 miles in Uganda and seemed to know everybody. Derrick's driving skills were second to none. He always answered our questions and knew the best spots for observing wildlife. While driving to our next destination, Derrick would stop to get us fresh pinapple or "chicken on a stick" as a treat. He was not only a great guide, but we consider him a friend. Derrick even messaged us after we left to make sure we got home safely and to share some photos.

In summary, this was a "bucket list" trip for me and it was better than I ever imagined. The gorilla trek was definitely the highlight but everything else was terrific also. We saw so many animals and the people of Uganda are very friendly. The accomodations were wonderful and the food was excellent. I highly recommend Lulu Safaris and ask for Derrick to be your guide. You won't be disappointed!

Enthusiastic, knowledge, fun tour
5/5

We did the 4 day gorilla and golden monkey trek tour through Rwanda and Uganda with Lulu Safari and were lucky enough to get Smith as our tour guide. Smith had the best energy throughout and was always ensuring that we were having the best tour we could and he would do anything to make sure of it. I would recommend both lulu safari and Smith to anyone travelling to Africa in the future if you’d like to have a fun, enjoyable informative time.

Absolutely amazing
5/5

I don’t typically leave reviews but Lulu Safaris we’re incredible from
Beginning to end.

My guide, Sam, was genuinely one of the nicest humans I’ve met, and everything I’d mentioned wanting to do he accommodated. We jammed out to Bob Marley, saw every imaginable animal, ate some amazing food, and he even helped me live some dreams I’d had since a kid. We even changed my itinerary at the end of the trip since I was having so much fun and he ended up taking me to a new location and essentially driving me all the way from Kigali to Kampala.

Elvis was kind enough to meet me at the drop off point to ask how everything went, and I genuinely wish I had better words to explain how fantastic the entire trip was.

Sam and I will be in touch for future adventures and I can’t recommend this company highly enough. Again, words fail at how wonderful this experience was, but if you are teetering between companies Lulu Safaris and specifically Sam are the way to go. Hope your next adventure is a great one!!

Professional, competent and passionate!
5/5

King Charles, simply the best! We couldn't have wished for better.
We (couple, mid 30) were on a customized tour (11days/10nights) end of January 2024, starting from Kigali (Rwanda) ending in Entebbe (Uganda).
From the very first sight our guide Charles gave us a very good impression. Coming from tourism industry myself, I know that the first impression is half the battle. Slowly we started to discover the amazing country (Uganda) and Charles’s virtues and qualities. As he studied geography, he has a very high level of expertise when it comes to fauna and flora, but also has a huge knowledge about climate zones, mountains, agriculture, culture and also about politics of his country. One of his passions are birds, and no one can beat him there.
Charles is a friendly, humorous, and talkative person who is highly appreciated by his clients and also by all his colleagues from other TO. He knows how to command respect, has great assertiveness is very resilient, patient and always on time. He loves his job and does it with passion. Charles definitely stands out of the crowd.
Before getting to Uganda, reading reviews about safety on the road, we were a little worried. Fortunately, Charles is an excellent driver, so we never had to experience fear. Even when we got stuck in heavy mud, he managed to get us out on his own. The Landcruiser we used was very comfortable, always clean, had binoculars and also books about Ugandan wildlife.
With the accommodation we were also very happy, in my opinion some of them were worth much more. The rooms were clean and spacious, staff was friendly and the food everywhere good or even excellent. The only negative was the laundry service at Chimpanzee Forest Lodge where we got back our clothes in xxs, with stains and all in pink, without price reduction for the washing or apology from staff.
What we liked the most, was the transparent communication and his attention to details. We always knew what to expect from the next day/s as we sat down together every evening to speak about issues, desires, and other needs. If there was a problem with something he spoke with us and gave us at least one alternative. We always knew what was going on, he told us a lot about what we saw and was always able to answer all our questions. He took great care of us, asking about toilets or food stops and even if we were on short time, he made us happy, by giving us more time. Almost from beginning we developed kind of telepathy, he always knew where we wanted to stop without communication.
Thanks to Charles we could make this amazing experience not only from the sight of a tourist but also from the sigh of a “local”. You enriched us greatly with your knowledge, but above all with your personal life stories, which were only possible thanks to the friendship and trust you gave us.
Thanks also to Elvis with who we organized the trip. Only advice I can give you, is to provide more information once the client has made the payment. As at some point I was doubting about the whole trip. Fortunately, then we had an informative video call and everything went perfect.

Amazing tour through Uganda with Lulu Safaris
5/5

I spend 11 days travelling through Uganda.

The communication before I started the journey was excellent. Elvis always came back to me very quickly every time I had a question and helped with everything he could.

Once I arrived in Uganda my guide Derrick picked me up at the airport and the journey began.

I really had the most amazing time in Uganda. Derrick was such an amazing guide, who took very good care of me and always went the extra mile to make this trip unforgettable.
He has such a great knowledge of the wildlife, the people and every aspect of this beautiful country that a visitor could ask for. There was nothing else that I could have asked for.

This was a trip that I will never forget - thank you Derrick!
