Had such an incredible time on our 12 day safari around Uganda with Primate World Safaris. Jackson took care of all our arrangements and promptly and helpfully answered our questions before we confirmed our booking. We found Primate World Safaris through Responsible Travel and were told that they are the best in Uganda for ensuring responsible visits to national parks and respect for wildlife. We were picked up from the airport by our guide, Alex Gabiito, and our adventure started. Our itinerary was busy and varied maximising our time in Uganda. It included: - an exhilerating experience white water rafting on the Nile; - a visit to Murchison Falls NP to view the breathtaking and explosive waterfall, as well as spotting elephants, lions, various antelope, buffalo, various exotic birds and monkeys in the park; - trekking chimpanzees in Kibale forest; - spotting leopards, crocodiles, hippos, lots of elephants, zebras, giraffes, warthogs and numerous birds in Queen Elizabeth NP and Lake Mburo NP; - trekking the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest; - meeting local communities and conservationists to hear about their amazing work preserving Uganda's wildlife. Our guide, Alex, was very knowledgeable and experienced and is highly recommended, especially if you're a bird enthusiast (he was nominated Uganda's best bird guide a couple of years' ago). He made sure that we saw and experienced as much as we could in the time we had. We felt safe and looked after at all times. The accommodation we stayed in far exceeded our expectations and made sure we were rested enough for our jam-packed itinerary. Uganda is stunning and has so much to offer - I can't imagine anywhere else that has such a high concentration of amazing wildlife and scenery. If you want an authentic and responsible safari trip to Uganda, choose Primate World Safaris.

I have been to African countries quite often but Uganda comes to the top of my favorite safari countries. The wildlife is not in plenty but at least it has a slice of every animal and some are endemic to this region only like the Mountain gorillas Ohhhh I liked the silver back in the jungles. Tree climbing lions, buffalo, chimps giraffes, zebras, hippos and beautiful birds and so one are all wrapped in one country. We had a warm welcome right from the airport by our guide and met so many friendly and happy people during our tour. Although some roads were not in good condition we never complained it was part of adventure. All reservation were handled well and everything as per the itinerary was covered and on time. Thanks Bird's Nest Safaris for making our safari experience a memorable one, we will surely recommend you to our friends.

Being able to observe a family of 16 + chimpanzees interacting with each other and having one walk just is a truly surreal experience. Finding the troop was not a given as they move continuously in their search for food. Our rangers had to double back and search a different area before we had the good fortune to come across the family. The trek was not difficult but be ready for it to take longer than stipulated. At the end of the day, being able to spend time with these highly intelligent and human creatures was worth it all. Highly recommended regardless if you are a nature lover or otherwise
