Fascinating, interesting , going back in time, seeing the natural force of longest river in the world. The amount of different bird species
Thank you so much for sharing this, it’s wonderful to hear how inspiring the experience was. From the feeling of stepping back in time to witnessing the power of the world’s longest river and the incredible birdlife, we’re glad it made such a lasting impression.
We wanted to do a Ugandan falls tour and Martha suggested we do Sezibwa falls, Sipi falls and Murchison falls. We had a fantastic time at Sezibwa falls and we passed by Jinja source of the Nile. We later went out for lunch and had such a sumptuous fish. It's the biggest fish I've ever had, talk about freshly raised by nature and the sparkling waters of lake Victoria.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that Martha’s recommendation worked out so well and that you had such a fantastic time exploring Sezibwa Falls, Sipi Falls, and Murchison Falls. Passing by the Source of the Nile and enjoying that freshly prepared fish by Lake Victoria sounds like a perfect highlight and nature truly at its best. We’re so glad you enjoyed every moment, and we hope to plan another unforgettable adventure for you in Uganda soon!
What an incredible day tour. Martha and Michael were a great team! It was a privilege to be taken to the spot where the Nile starts. We learnt so much and really enjoyed the boat ride and was amazed at the variety of wildlife. We stopped at a fascinating waterfall on the way too; everything was included. Lunch was a real highlight. We sat on the banks of the Nile and a truly EXCEPTIONAL lunch was provided. We chose freshly cooked whole Tilapia, straight from the Lake! We could have stayed there forever! Totally recommended. Martha has just started this company and you are helping a local Ugandan by choosing her and because she's new...I felt she worked harder than anyone else for our benefit. 10/10
Thank you so much and it was a pleasure hosting you.
