4日間のウガンダゴリラトレッキングと野生動物サファリ

We had a wonderful experience during our short trip to Rwanda and Uganda. Our trip leader Bruce was excellent, right from the start he was waiting for us at the airport and spent the rest of our trip making sure we had an enjoyable experience. His knowledge of both countries was great, he was a safe driver over the many hours of travel we had and just overall a lovely person. The itinerary was good and we saw a lot in a few short days. I would recommend doing some research before arriving, we had organised smaller notes to tip our trek leader and porter on the gorilla day but were not expecting to also tip trackers in the middle of the Bwindi national park. Accommodation was good, clean and meals to a high quality. We especially loved the stay at Bweza before our gorilla trek. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this company to friends and family. A few tips - take small notes, USD or local currency. For the gorilla hike, make sure you have gaiters, gardening gloves and light weight clothing. Most importantly, hire a porter… I am a fit and healthy 35yo but Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a whole situation and as a smaller person my amazing porter was literally pulling me through the jungle at times. It’s a jungle so humid, don’t wear too many layers as you will over heat but also make sure your arms and legs are covered.

We booked our gorilla trekking experience in Uganda with Lulu Safari, including one night at a lodge. We booked the trip without seeing much information or many photos beforehand, so we didn’t really know what to expect. In the end, the experience was even better than we could have imagined. Our tour guide, Bruce, was absolutely amazing. He guided us incredibly well, made sure we had everything we needed, and made the entire trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We truly didn’t feel like we were missing anything. The gorilla trekking itself was very well organised, and we were lucky enough to see seven gorillas up close. It was an incredible and unforgettable day that we will always remember. Everything was organised down to the smallest detail by Lulu Safari. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Thanks to Lulu Safaris and my guide Stuart for arranging an amazing trip for me! I had an action packed itinerary that included gorilla and chimp trekking, boating and seeing other local sites. Stuart was a friendly and very accommodating host. I’d highly recommend Lulu for your next trip to Uganda.

Had the best 5-day tour of Uganda with Lulu Safari's. We got to do several game drives, boat ride on Kazinga Channel, Chinp and Gorilla trekking. Our accommodation (arranged by Lulu) was amazing! Food, service and facilities were all fantastic. The best part about our tour was our guide Sarah! From the minute we were picked up we felt so welcome. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend booking with Lulu Safaris and requesting Sarah as your guide. She is simply the best tour guide we have had!

So we did an hybrid safari out of Kigali Rwanda. Includes Akagera, Bwindi, and Vacanoes (golden monkeys). Our guide was Smith and as the other reviews have already stated he’s outstanding. Very observant and quick to help. Also (most importantly) easy to talk to and associate with. He has a very mild demeanor and never showed stress, anxiety, or anger which is amazing considering some of the traffic he had to go through. If you’re going to be in a car for a long time that’s really important. As far as the safari itself everything went as planned. Gorillas are amazing and a must see. Only caution is the road to Bwindi is really really rough for 2Hrs. So if you suffer from car sickness beware. Unfortunately that’s the only way into the park. Akagera was fine for what it is. Small, fairly new park. Lot of brush and limited to staying on the roads so tricky to spot stuff. Would highly suggest going to Elizebeth Park in Uganda instead. Overall couldn’t be happier though. Picked the perfect company for the options we chose.

We just returned from a trip of a lifetime! I cannot even express how much we loved and enjoyed this tour. The booking process was very simple and Elvis was super quick to share info and update our itinerary. From pickup from our hotel in Kigali the process was seamless. Franklin our guide was a pure treasure who made sure we always had everything we needed and more! We visited Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda to see the Golden Monkeys followed by Bwindi in Uganda to see the Gorillas and WOW what an incredible experience to be so close to these wonderful animals. We also visited Queen Elizabeth National Park where we saw a Lion and a huge herd of Elephants! Lake Bunyonyi was our final destination before heading back to Kigali and what an amazing way to end the trip on such a beautiful Lake with breathtaking views. All of the lodges we stayed in were really nice and different in their own special way. I have travelled a lot and this trip was just spectacular. Our guide Franklin was the best guide I have ever had, he was calm, composed and made us feel safe from start to finish, we feel like we now have a friend for life. I will definitely be back to Uganda, the beauty of the landscape and wildlife was truly breathtaking and I can truly say Uganda has my heart. When i return I know exactly who I will use and that is definitely LuLu Safaris with most certainly a special request for Franklin :)

Trip was okay. Sarah was guide and Allan driver. Pros: - [ ] Punctual - [ ] Helpful at times - [ ] Good driving by Alan but just needs to take time over harder road humps and breaking to consider back seat passengers - [ ] Calm guides -[] Driver knowledgeable Cons - [ ] Used bag containing my lunch as a bin - [ ] No energy vibe from guide - [ ] Left to eat lunch alone on last day of my trip - [ ] Window nob broke so wasn't always easy to wind window down. Informed guides but didn't remedy this. - [ ] No water in car upon arrival. Had to ask; waited 3 hrs - [ ] No ac working in van - [ ] My manual window winder nob came off - [ ] Not organised - [ ] Guide on phone and taking pictures - [ ] As a guest found it somewhat isolating at the back on my own as both Sarah and Alan sat at front talking in their language - [ ] Wasn't always kept informed as to what we were doing but guide and driver talked amongst themselves putting me in a position to constantly make enquiry - [ ] Went to bank and guide literally stood up close to me watching what i was doing. Did bit give me provacy - [ ] Driving through Kampala following day no interaction. Spoke amongst themselves in their language for the next 2 hours laughing and joking between themselves. This happened throughout the 8 hr journey with the odd comment here and there. Elvis seemed occupied elsewhere and had to reach out to him a few times regarding upcoming trip. I would not recommend.

Excellent tour organizer! They were very responsive to our emails, explained everything and in detail. Our guide Smith was amazing. Always very positive, knew his way around and very attentive. We really enjoyed having him as our driver/guide. After returning from our golden monkey trek with muddy shoes he took it upon himself to clean our shoes. If you are lucky enough to have Smith as a guide you will be in good hands.

The pillar of a successful tour is in the people who take care of you far away from home. We had a chance to get to know Lulu Safari’s guide Mr. Allan Smith, who was very experienced driver and knowledgeable guide. Our tour was well managed regarding timing, recommendation of restaurants and optional visits. The company was prompt and was able to take care of all our extra requests during the tour (extra detour and a boat ride on a lake Bunyoni), additional shoebill boat safari in a Nature reserve from Entebbe etc. The booking process was easy and Mr. Elvis (the general manager of the company) promptly replied to our questions. Once on a tour we can not stress enough to be very happy in the company of our guide Mr. Allan, because he was of great personality, outgoing and tried to make our visit of Uganda (and Rwanda) memorable and hassle free. Thank you.

Very easy communication with Elvis via WhatsApp, which made everything very easy to arrange, in addition a secure online payment link. My guide was Smith, who did everything to make sure I was happy and continously checked to make sure I was enjoying the trip. The accommodation options I had were all amazing with wonderful views. Would recommend!
