East African Safaris is the way to do Uganda!!!

East African Jungle knocked it out of the park! We went Gorilla trekking, bird watching for the Shoe bill, Chimp trekking and River Safari. and they all were amazing we saw gorrilas, chimps, shoe bills, lions and all on the first try! Ronnie our guide was amazing, a real down to earth guy, great guide, and an excellent driver. Ronnie made us feel safe and secure, and he was really personable. He really went out of his way to go above and beyond. When booking your tours ask for Ronnie. Ruth and Ronnie kept all lines of communication open and were always reachable. Ruth was very pleasant and helped us out with any issues we had. If your going to tour Uganda do it with East African Safari!
