It was a good tour: think the accommodation could be better though for the price we paid. Small fans in large rooms don't work in hot weather. The meals were good. The guides were good & kept everything rolling. Didn't have much luck with the game viewing (except for elephants & hippos) but the mountain gorilla & chimpanzee treks were amazing. And these 2 excursions are what made the trip so good. (These kind of trips can be hit & miss. )
Uganda to Rwanda: Gorilla Treks & Safari Drives - J
John • traveled in April, 2026
I had a fantastic tour of Uganda and Rwanda with my driver and guide, Mutanda. Starting in Entebbe, within a few hours we were already in Murchison Falls National Park viewing wildlife and seeing seeing other gems of « The Pearl of Africa.». Mutanda was an excellent driver (and traffic was at times hairy, particularly around Kampala) as well as experienced primatologist and ornithologist. I was very impressed by the abundance of wildlife in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth NP’s. Our vehicle had a roof that could be raised, so that, on safari I had superb views and photo ops. En route, I got to see the Ruwenzori Mountains, a rhinoceros reserve, lakes, waterfalls and rich, green farmland. The hotels and meals were generally good quality, although I was always served much more food than I could eat. Similarly, Rwanda was a beautiful country. Highlights included Parc Nationale des Volcans, Nyungwe NP with its chimpanzees and other wildlife and the Tour de Rwanda as the race passed through Musanze. When I booked the tour I wasn’t too excited about seeing gorillas at Bwindi - I had already visited them years ago in the Congo. But this gorilla trek turned out to be my signature experience on the trip, proving that seeing gorillas in their natural habitat is a once in a lifetime experience, even the second time around.

The trip of a lifetime! We fit so many great activities into such a short time. We saw everything there was to see (the big five and more!). The chimp and gorilla trekking was the highlight of the trip. We were able to spend so much time just feet away from these amazing creatures. The country was incredibly beautiful. Our guides Veronica and John gave an unparalleled experience with their professionalism and knowledge. By the end of the trip we considered them family. Mukisa Safaris is the way to go if you are traveling to Uganda!
