Wonderful 8 day safari Jackson was extremely helpful in designing an itinerary and accommodating my requests and suggestions until I felt confident that I had the best trip planned! I was met at the airport by Jackson and my driver/guide George (also known as Geoffrey) and we set off early the next day on my bespoke 8 day trip. George was a good driver and I enjoyed travelling with him and learnt a lot about each area. The safari van with the pop up roof was excellent. George took huge pride in giving me the best possible experience and, for example, on game drives, he wouldn’t rest until I had seen everything! Murchison Park was the highlight for me, the most beautiful savannah with a wealth of animals - we saw lions, leopards, hyenas, elephants, giraffe, buffalo, hippos, kobs, hartebeest, warthogs etc. Add to this the spectacular waterfall and lovely 3 hour boat cruise. Other stand outs for me were gorilla trekking in Bwindi, with an incredible hour spent up close with a family of gorillas. And Rhino trekking at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. For me, QE Park was nowhere near as impressive as Murchison Park and chimpanzee trekking in Kalinzu Forest was not great (I think Kibale would be better). My accommodation ranged from stunning (Aardvark Lodge, QE Park), to very good (Papyrus, Entebbe and Rushaga Gorilla Camp, Bwindi) to not so good (Ikorom Lodge, Murchison Park). All in all, I had a brilliant 8 day trip with George, who took great care of me and treated me like one of his family. Going on safari in Uganda was a truly memorable experience and I would highly recommend Jackson and George at Primate World Safaris.

Trip of a lifetime to Uganda We had a brilliant time on our trip in December with our guide, Geoffrey. The highlight was definitely meeting the gorillas face to face in Bwinidi Impenetrable national park, that was a once in a lifetime experience. We also loved visiting the chimpanzees in Kibale forest and going on the game drives, where we were super lucky to see 2 leopards and several lion, as well as elephants, pumbas, hippos and crocodiles. The trip was so well organised. Jackson and his team took care of us from start to finish - nothing was too much trouble. We decided to extend our stay to visit the Ssese Islands and Jackson organised all of that for us too, including the ferry to get there. Our guide, Geoffrey, was great with us too, we had such a fun time. He gave us loads of interesting commentary each day on the places and things we saw. We loved the whole itinerary and it was really lovely to see how primate world safaris are supporting other small businesses and communities throughout Uganda. Definitely the trip of a lifetime! We were sad to leave, but happy to have gained new friends in Uganda. We highly recommend this trip and primate world safaris as tour guides.

Great experience! We planned the trip (route, accommodation etc) ourselves but used a guide from Primate World Safaris to get us everywhere and help us out where needed. Geoffrey is the best guide you can wish for! Always there to help, assist, give advice, and a great animal spotter! Second time I went with this company in Uganda, and would recommend to everyone!

Best tour operator for the ultimate Ugandan experience! I can’t thank enough Jackson for the whole itinerary planning and my travel guide and buddy Geoffrey (commonly known as George) for the unforgettable trip! Every aspect of the trip was carefully tailored, from the activities and time schedules to the accommodation options and road travel. Apart from the safari & gorilla trek kings, the itinerary included many activities aimed to experience the Ugandan culture and engage with the local communities. The lodges were excellent and the activities exceeded my expectations. Geoffrey is a very knowledgable guide and knows every region of Uganda inside out! He even made additions and adjustments to the initial itinerary depending on my preferences! You can definitely rely on Primate World Safaris to organise an unforgettable trip based on your specific requirements! I’m really looking forward to my next Uganda visit to explore the rest of the country with Primate World Safaris! Thanks again Jackson & Jeffrey!

Fantastic service We travelled to Uganda with our adult children to attend a family wedding but were keen to also see some of the country and wildlife. Jackson was really helpful in planning a trip for the five of us that fitted into our schedule and enabled us to visit Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Highlights were seeing lions, elephants and hippos and our day gorilla trekking. Our guide Abdul was fantastic and looked after us really well making sure we had frequent stops and he was expert at spotting wildlife. All accommodation was good and staff very helpful. We had a fantastic time!

You must do this tour This was absolutely, hands down the best trip we have ever been on. The itinerary was perfect. We got to see everything we had hoped for (the Big 5, local communities and the Ugandan landscapes) plus many, many things we had never dreamed of. The accommodations that Primate World chooses are perfectly paired with the environment you’re in and each one has its own personality. The Ugandan people are some of the nicest we’ve ever met and are incredibly welcoming. We also loved that Primate World goes to great lengths to ensure they pair with businesses that support the communities, local people and sustain the environment for tourists to continue to enjoy responsibly. But what really made the entire tour was our guide George. He was very knowledgeable about all our destinations, was the best animal tracker and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. He even personalized our tour more and more as he got to know us. He has truly become a friend and because of him and Primate World, this “once in a lifetime trip” has become a trip we are already planning to do again with family and friends. If you want to experience the best Uganda has to offer with some of the best people you’ll ever meet, you have to choose Primate World.

Memorable lifetime experience There were several memorable highlights including chimpanzee tracking, gorilla tracking and boat trip on Kazinga Channel. My driver/guide George made a solo travel experience as an older woman feel friendly, safe and interesting every day. Manager Jackson organised this trip really well and there were no travel or accommodation setbacks.

Gorillas It was an amazing experience, and we are so thankful with our guide Remmy who was so sweet, very kind, friendly and we enjoyed so much with him. Thank you for your kindness Remmy.

Amazing Safari We booked safari from Aug 19th till September 1st, visiting Masai Mara and then Uganda. From the beginning, Jackson communicated promptly and clearly to all questions, no matter what time of the day. We started the journey in Nairobi, our guide was Allen who is quite knowledgeable about animals and roads of Masai Mara, made sure we experienced the Great Migration. Highlight was watching mother Cheetah and her 3 Cubs. Next stop was Entebbe, Uganda. Jackson arranged for our luggage to be transported via Jeep otherwise we would have payed $300 for excess baggage (baggage weight limited to 15kg for 2). In Uganda we saw the origins of Nile, Chimpanzee trekking, and big 4.During our Uganda Stay, our guide was Geoffrey, extremely knowledgeable of the country (politics,geography,nature,roads) but most importantly kind and considerate. My husband got ill during the trip, Geoffrey took us to community hospital at night and stayed there throughout to ensure that Peter gets the right care. In Entebbe, both Jackson and Geoffrey took care of his medical needs and we will always be grateful. Despite the medical set back, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The flexibility of itinerary was helpful, enjoyed nature, appreciated hospitality and kindness of people of Uganda. We feel that we got more value for the money. They delivered more than we were expecting.We are planning to return in July 2022 to do Gorilla Trekking.
