Exciting, immersive and accommodating tour of Uganda
5/5

I had an excellent trip with Ibanga Expeditions. They were consistently in contact from booking all the way through to my arrival.

Everything in the tour, from timings, accommodation and food was fantastic. Everything went super smoothly throughout, and any questions I had from local Ugandan life to wildlife facts were all answered with a lot of detail.

I'd 100% recommend Ibanga Expeditions, they really do show a true passion to giving you a once in a lifetime experience of Uganda's culture and incredible wildlife.

Able was very friendly, informative and always eager to please
4/5

We considered several operators and value for money with Ibanga was very competitive.
All in all we had a great 12-day trip, with a couple of minor irritations on advised times to travel between places compared with the actual.
Our mid range option lodges were all comfortable, to the point we would have liked to have more time to enjoy the facilities and just relax occasionally. (Note: my wife and I are at retirement age).
We did not expect the extra cost for the safari guides that apperaed at each park who expected a fee.
Summary - excellent and a lifelong dream to sit with gorillas achieved.

Wonderful 12 day tour of Rwanda and Uganda
5/5

After a long process comparing operators I eventually settled on Ibanga due to Able's personality and enthusiasm and I was thrilled with this decision.

From pick up on day 1 he was a joyful character, always ensuring everything was going to plan and that I was looked after in everyway. All the activities throughout were exceptional including the gorillas, chimps, golden monkeys and both Queen Elizabeth and Murchinson falls national parks. The mid-range lodges were all extremely comfortable, especially those in Queen Elizabeth and in Kibale and the service from the staff in each, alongside the food prepared was to a very high standard.

Any needs along the way Able was always happy to accomodate and be flexible with our itinerary to ensure I got the best experience day in, day out. Even at the end of the tour he ensured I was looked after in my accommodation and that they would ensure I made it to my next destination ok and since finishing has been checking in on me to make sure my travels in East Africa are still going smoothly.

I would 100% recommend Ibanga and Able for a great valued, all encompassing tour with a wonderful human.

Enthusiastic guide and very good driver
5/5

We did a 6 day tour inculding Gorilla's in Bwini national park, Safari in Queen Elisabeth national park, chimpansees in Kibale National Park and rafting on theriver nile in Jinja. Very nice combination of activities in this tour. Able has a lot to tell and is a real ambasador of Uganda. He is really caring for the joy of his guests.

Hello Maarten and your lovely wife, It was good to host you in both Rwanda for Genocide and Uganda during your 6 days trip. We are glad that you appreciated our services. I was profoundly honored to become your guide. Literally 6 days are ok but not enough compared to what Uganda has for you. Hope to see you or your friends/family next time. We are now friends and no longer strangers like we were at the first meet.

Able was incredibly hospitable, welcoming, joyful, and made whatever we wanted possible!
5/5

Las Vegas Tours and Travel was great to work with. We had a wonderful experience. The company heard our desires, which included time spent in a refugee camp and a safari, and they made it happen with a great attitude! Their biggest asset is their tour guide, Able, who gives the BEST Uganda welcome! Any request someone had he found a way to make it happen. He led us well, ensured we had an amazing experience (especially on our safari), helped us navigate the markets to make sure we got fair prices, and went above and beyond to show he cared for us. He helped me find a little dress for my daughter and gifted our team a special photo! I cannot recommend Able and Las Vegas Tours and Travel enough!

Able was an excellent host and professional in conducting his tour.
5/5

I used Able from Las Vegas Tours and Travels to help with transport on a recent work trip. He was punctual and surprised me with some site seeing (Equator Cafe) which I was not expecting. Safe and dependable. I would highly recommend him.
