Best safari !!
This was the most amazing trip got to see the big 5 and had the most wonderful guide. Hamlet was so patient through and knowledgeable guide. He sorted out all the paperwork and the fees were sorted out at head office - no hassle!! We just enjoyed our time and trip. This 5 day experience the perfect length.
Have been recommending him and the company to anyone who listens 🤣 Nothing was too much !!
Hamlet arrived at the time he said and got us to see and experience the beautiful wild life
10 ⭐ would definitely use them again and would ask to have Hamlet be our guide.

great experience 💪💪💪
This is the second time we have been down to walk with the Gorillas. Both times I have arranged it directly with adventure in the Wild. IT can definitely be recommended and everything has been arranged perfectly. We have had Deus as a guide both times and he is deeply professional and the best guide you can imagine. If you could give more than 5 stars, they would have got it. Regards Thomas

Amazing safari and organisation
We had prompt, excellent communication and service with Jonathan throughout the whole process for our 18-day safari (12 days in Uganda, 6 days in Zambia). Unfortunately, we had to cancel the Uganda part of our safari just 3 weeks before the start, due to a knee injury, so we were not able to do the Gorilla and chimpanzee treks. We carried on with an amazing time in South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. Jonathan was excellent with amending the itinerary and providing an insurance letter. We hope to get back to do the Uganda part of the safari and will definitely book with Jonathan again.

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.
