My guide James was waiting for me at the starting point even despite the fact that I was two hours late because the traffic was very slow. James was a perfect guide, he helped me very much and I felt safe with him. The trip starts with a short boat ride and then the route goes through wonderful sceneries, local villages, hills, tea plantation, the children alongside wave and are happy, we also stopped in a small local place for lunch. The waterfalls are beautiful too, nice in the nature, not commercialized. The whole trip was beautiful and James helped me, on the way back from the falls I was very tired and James helped and encouraged me and thanks to him I was able to get to the finish. Thank you again and very many special thanks to James. And on the boat ride back to Kampala we got absolutely breathtaking views of sunset above the Lake Victoria. This was definitely an amazing experience and memorable trip that I will never forget.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-14
