Hamlet is your guy!!

We had a fantastic time during our safari with Hamlet as our guide and driver. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and likable. We booked the chimpanzee and gorilla trekking experiences. All the activities we participated in were awesome. Accommodations were excellent. Food was very good. Everywhere we went people were friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Hamlet was totally awesome.

Amazing safari at Murchisson falls with Nina and Deus! 💗

A huge thank you to our two extraordinary guides, Deus and Nina, who made our safari in November 2025 simply unforgettable. Deus is a real living encyclopedia: an incredible knowledge of the country, animals, nature, always accompanied by exciting stories that give a soul to every landscape and every encounter. He feels a deep love for his country and a sincere desire to pass it on. Nina, meanwhile, speaks remarkable French and also has impressive knowledge. Thanks to her, everything was fluid, clear and even more rewarding. His gentleness, attention and kindness touched us in the heart. You have both been very caring from beginning to end, of rare kindness, always smiling, attentive, and deeply human. Thanks to you, we discovered much more than a safari: we had a strong, authentic and emotional human experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this discovery of the country, for these magical moments and for all the memories we will keep forever. You will always have a special place in our hearts. With all our gratitude, Dylan & Jessica ✨🦁🌍

Uganda is really amazing its people, the landscapes, its fauna and flora.

It was an unforgettable experience thanks in large part to our joram guide, always attentive and very professional. We saw the big 5 and the small 1000....plus the chimpanzees, gorillas. Thank you so much for joram and Adventure in the wild.

Trip of a lifetime in Uganda!

Me and my boyfriend had the trip of a lifetime in Uganda last month. Our driver/guide Kenneth was incredible. He taught us so much about Uganda and was so knowledgable about the wildlife. By the end of the week we considered him a friend and we will recommend him to anyone looking to go. Thanks uncle Ken!

Dont hesitate-book now!

Although I said we did the 5 day trip, we actually combined the 5 days with a 3 day trip to Murchinson Falls and Safari park. This trip was absolutely fantastic. The itinerary was set by Jonathan, who kindly accommodated all our different arrival and departure times. Jonan, our guide and driver, expertly led our small party, making adjustments to the itinerary when necessary for our comfort. Jonan was knowledgeable, kind and funny, we had so many laughs! Thank you to Adventure in the Wild for creating a wonderful experience for us.

Best tour ever!

If there were 10 stars I would give them. From my first enquiry with Jonathon to our last set of selfies on the equator with Jonan, this tour was blinder! Absolutely professional and helpful from beginning to end. We're already booking one for next year! They had organised everything- gorilla permit, all national park entrances, every meal included, it was so easy I didn't even know where we were going until we were there! We had a few extra free days so Jonathon suggested adding on Murchison Falls and this was a wonderful experience. Jonan is the best tour tour guide I've ever met. 100% knowledgeable and professional and accommodating and..a new friend😊 Thank you all so much!!!
