Top safari - For a long time had always wanted to do a safari in Uganda since it was highly recommended by my friends who had travelled to there.
Booked my safari with this company and yes, I was never disappointed, all arrangements were on time and did all my activities which were so well organised.
Moses my guide was the best guide on this safari, he was well organised and well informative and answered all my questions I had about the animals, the country in general.
Had an an absolute amazing time at my lodge Bush Lodge in Queen Elizabeth Park. Which so good with an amazing view of the kazinga channel.
The boat cruise on this channel was so great it gave a chance to view more animals and lo5s of elephants.
Communication with the office was swift always they responded on time which made my booking process so easy.
I had an amazing time in Uganda with and I really loved the wat my safari was arranged in a short period of time.
With no hesitation I recommend them for your safari.
Thanks to the team that made safari so wonderful and to Moses my guide for the wonderful work.

Wonderful Gorilla Trekking Experience - The 3 day gorilla trekking trip was amazing! Excellent communication from the beginning and everything went smoothly during the trip. The driver/guide was great and so were the people working at the park. Good food and accommodations. The stay at lake Bunyonyi was relaxing after trekking. I would do this trip again.

An excellent tour! - I went on a 3 day tour with gorilla-trekking in Bwindi and Lake Bunyonyi with Northern Fox Adventures. From the beginning it just went smoothly – the tour operator was quick to respond to my enquiries and come up with an offer. He was also quick to answer any questions I had.
The tour itself also went well - it was nicely organised and we didn't have to rush anything. I was picked up in Kampala by my brilliant guide Frank, and we then drove towards Bwindi in a comfortable van. Frank was amazing! He was so friendly, very informative and he really made the tour special. The accommodation (Broadbill and Lake Bunyonyi Eco Resort) was brilliant, the meals were taken care of, and so was the transportation for the whole trip.
I would definitely recommend Northern Fox Adventures and Frank to anyone who is looking for a tour in Uganda.

Absolutely outstanding - I booked with Simon and from the beginning I was incredibly impressed. I wanted a tailored experience and he was very accommodating booking me two gorilla permits.
He was incredibly accommodating as I booked this quite last minute due to covid.
The guide was amazing, very well connected and professional. I was so impressed and loved the trip so much I extended a further 5 days to include Queen Elizabeth NP, Kibale NP, another gorilla day and Mbamba swamp. Simon organised a range of activities that were fantastic and really enjoyable. The guides took the time to learn what I was interested in and ensured that was emphasised.
They really went completely above and beyond. I highly, highly recommend.
The value for money is outstanding.
Just book with him, you won't regret!
