Great experience - Hillary was a great guide! We asked to focus on seeing the shoebill, the zoo, and the botanical gardens. We did just that and had a nice lunch. Overall a great time. All of the guides were very knowledgeable and interesting to talk with. We would definitely go again!

Entebbe has so much to offer! - Thank you for an excellent day! We only had a short time in off in Uganda and weren't sure if there was anything to see in Entebbe.... Wow! We were so impressed with our day's adventure! From the boat ride to the botanical gardens, from the rare birds to the scary snakes to the adorable monkeys, it was a day full of incredible elements of Africa! Thank you!

Very good tour - The tour was amazing! Matthew did a great job as a tour guide. He explained everything to me and I can tell he is very knowledgeable.

Fabulous Day Out - Not the Eco Day Tour but a bespoke day.... I had an extra day in Entebbe before the rest of the tour group arrived and I decided to look for a tour that covered Mabamba Swamp and Entebbe Botanical Gardens. After a little research, I found Gazelle and I'm very pleased I did. Sorting out the details of the tour before I left the UK was easily done by email. The company did not try and rip me off (like another one I contacted who quoted more than double the going rate) and we settled on a price and itinery. On the day, Mathew Tusubira looked after me perfectly. He arrived at my hotel early and had even brought a waterproof (my luggage had not made it from Amsterdam). His knowledge of the history, geography, politics and organisational skills seemed second to none. The boatmen (across Lake Victoria and in the Swamp) were superb as well as being friendly and happy to slow down or change direction so I could look at wildlife. The bird guide in the Swamp was brilliant, taking me straight to a magnificent Shoebill with which we stayed for an hour. There was no disturbance of the bird and I enjoyed the 60 minutes so much!! Afterwards, we re-crossed the Lake (by the way, a much better way to get to Mabamba than driving) we were off to the Botanical Gardens. The local guide was collected and , again, was superb. Mathew was in close attendance all the time and did not mind that we overran the schedule, allowing me time to really look and appreciate the many new (to me) species of birds and monkey. I'm not a photographer (I like to look) but have tens of photos from the day). All in all, a day I will long remember thanks to Gazelle Safari Company.

Fantastic day tour of the highlights of Entebbe - Thank you for an amazing tour! Very professional and courteous and fun to make friends with...a great experience to see the highlights of Entebbe in a day.

Beaitiful Entebbe tour - I want to thank you for this one day trip to Entebbe. It was a real experience. Thanks to Mathew I saw a lot of beautiful and interesting things! He was a great host and guide. This will be the experience that I will never forget! A full Ugandian day! Beautiful!

Lovely trip to Lake Victoria and the wildlife - Very lovely trip out on Lake Victoria to go amongst the swamp areas on a little boat - we saw amazing wildlife up close including the rare shoebill (a prehistoric looking large bird) up close. We also stopped at local markets and at the site of the first Catholic missionary landing in Uganda. In the reprile conservation park, we had chameleons on our arms (so cute) and had the opportunity to view crocodiles, snakes, tortoises and terrapins. Lunch was lovely - Ugandan style and then an afternoon at the Wildlife conservation centre with giraffes, elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, rhino, ostriches, chimpanzees etc etc - amazing. Great guide in Olivia.

Very interesting visits in just a full day tour - I paid for the behind the scenes tour and it was well worth it! My guide was both personable and knowledgeable during whole tour as he took me various places. Firstly, it was Uganda wildlife conservation education centre. Here I got a chance to be very close to animals like Zebras Antelopes Monkeys Giraffes Cheetahs Rhinos Chimpanzees Warthogs Lions & many more including birds like the endemic shoebill & reptiles. This place is not super developed, but the basic nature of it is definitely part of its charm. It is primarily there to rehabilitate rescued animals and work out how (or if) they can be successfully returned to the wild, so visitors are made to feel very welcome. After that we go for Mabamba Swamp Bird Watching, at edge of Lake Victoria and I got a great opportunity to see the shoebill, which is certainly a strange creature, and I'm glad to check that. It slowly stalks its prey, so stood still for quite a long time as if it were posing for photos.Entebbe Botanic Gardens is a different venue for bordering at Lake Victoria as this one has the edge on most because the huge expanse of the botanical gardens. The trees and plants are beautiful and the birds are interesting. Monkeys are there of course as in most areas of Entebbe. It’s a lovely way to spend a late afternoon/early evening before the mosquitoes come out. The final stop was Uganda Reptile Village. They have a large collection of snakes including pythons, vipers, Cobras and mambas. Apart from this, they have a section dedicated to tortoises, one dedicated to crocodiles and yet another one to chameleons. My guide explains the behaviour of all these species.A visit to this facility is highly recommended, particularly if you are interested in creepy-crawlies.

Great day out - I had so much fun with the 2 guides. They were knowledgeable, friendly and went out of their wat to ensure everything was good. Great day out

Wished I knew ahead of time boat trip cost $52 cash - What I would have loved to know when I booked the tour was total price. Since I was solo cost $240 then area said extra price for boat ride to the swamp. Was a handmade boat and cost me $52 cash at end of day. Most of Uganda doesn’t accept credit cards so I was very limited on cash my trip. Then the reptile place had a sadistic jerk tour me around. He loved getting the poor creatures angry. He poked each snake with a stick and knocked on the glass to show teeth. Also poked crocodile hard with stick to show teeth. Then would flick his finger hard at the turtles head and legs to make it go back in shell. The wildlife conservation was the best. Had the best caring guide that really explained interesting facts about the animals
