So Much to See! - My guide, Robert, helped us find all of the Big 5 plus the rarely seen hyenas and jackals! He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the parks. The food was tasty and the lodging was good. The van was a little dated, but it was comfortable and spacious. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and welcome! This tour was true to the advertisement. I highly recommend!

Dark Hills Uganda is your ultimate guide to see Big Five & Rhinos - Francis was a great coordinator for our questions and we received all answers in advance of the trip. Robert, our guide was fantastic! He is a very experienced guide and knows the park inside and out. We have enjoyed every moment of our travel and taken a lot of photos capturing unbelievable memories, have seen the Big Five upclose and personal, with exception of a leopard which we have seen from the distance.

Beauty trip 🤩👌 - Super arranged! I had a great trip to Murchison Falls with Dark Hills. Well arranged from start to finish. I had contact with Francis beforehand and he was able to arrange exactly what I had in mind. Robert was my driver. Nice guy, and is a kind of walking encyclopedia! He knows a lot about the animals and even better: he also knows how to find them in the park! I have seen many giraffes, but also elephants, a group of lions and a leopard in the tree. All in all it was a great trip that I will definitely recommend.

Amazing experience! - This safari experience was a wonderful way to end my trip to Uganda!! I felt very safe and comfortable as a solo female traveler. The accommodations and food were very nice. Seeing the top of Murchison falls in a must-do experience!! It was also amazing to see the bottom of the falls and water animals during the boat drive. My driver, Robert, was an exceptional guide and was able to navigate city traffic and park roads very well! I was unable to see the big five (missed the leopards) but not from lack of trying. Robert went above and beyond during our game drives to make sure we could see as many animals as possible!!

Great experience - I had a wonderful 3 day safari with Dark Hills Uganda. I saw many different large animals and lots of species of birds as well. Enjoyed the walk to the top of the waterfall and getting soaked in the spray while listening to the roar of the water. The boat safari was my personal favourite, it was wonderful to see the hippos enjoying the cool waters of the Nile. My driver/guide Robert is clearly very experienced with many contacts in the park so we got good tips from the rangers to help track the lions. It took about 6-7 hours to reach the falls from Kampala but the journey is broken in half by the stop at Ziwa to see the rhinos, and by lunch on the way back so it didn’t feel uncomfortable. Thank you Dark Hills, I will definitely consider doing another trip with you if I am fortunate enough to return to Uganda.

Much more than just a safari! - The original plan was to 'just' go on a safari to Murchison Falls but because of the great driver and guide, the amazing service and helpful advise I decided to extend my trip with Dark Hills. I am so glad I did! It really felt like anything was possible. I loved the accommodations (especially the one in Entebbe!), have seen so many animals and breathtaking views and met lovely people. Thank you, Francis and team, for organizing this wonderful trip and showing me your beautiful country. Will be back!

Amazing safari! - Such an amazing experience! We visited the top of the falls and did an extended tour of 3 nights in the park. This allowed us to do 3 different game safaris and a boat safari. We saw a lions with little ones, 3 different leopards, plenty of giraffes and elephants and much more. I have been in Murchison Falls before but I would definitely recommend going with Dark Hills Uganda. Robert, our driver, was lovely, funny and knew a lot about the animals. Thanks to Francis for organizing our trip and to Robert for making this trip amazing!!

Highly recommended! - Super organised! A long trip but more than worth it. We were in a very nice safari car with our wonderful driver Robert who was always on time. He can spot animals like the best and also knows a lot about them. We started with the waterfalls of Murchison falls, fantastically beautiful! We did 3 safaris and a boat trip, which was great because we saw 15 lions, 3 leopards and lots of giraffes and elephants and more. We also had a ranger with us during the safaris, which made the safari even more fun. The accommodation is good and the food excellent. I absolutely recommend traveling with Dark Hills. A big 10!

amazing experience! - what a fantastic trip! Beautiful waterfall and saw so many animals! Everything was arranged down to the last detail. Good driver, ranger who knew what she was passionate about and also knew how to find the animals we wanted to see. Leopard, lions and cubs, elephants, giraffes, buffalos, antelopes, hartebeests, warthogs, hippos, baboons and other monkeys and various bird species including the Egyptian vulture and the crocodile! I can recommend this safari to everyone. We did 3 safaris by car and one boat safari. Even for people who are afraid of water I can recommend this, if you want you can get a life jacket. I personally didn't do that as I can swim and it was also incredibly hot. The accommodation was also good, as was the restaurant. Best holiday ever!

Great Safari for any traveler - Overall an awesome safari for a budget-friendly traveler. Murchison Falls blew me away and I was able to see all Big 5. My guide’s name was Robert who was very knowledgeable, well-connected in the reserve (key for alerts of where animals are), & a safe driver. Vehicle was a bit dated but very comfortable and performed well in the reserve. Accommodation was solid, no frills - but the staff were friendly (despite reviews on Google) and the food was great with healthy portions. Beautiful sunrises from the lodge were a plus. Dark Hills admin was supportive and accessible throughout the trip which was reassuring while traveling alone. I'd recommend to anyone that’s trying to see the Big 5 without breaking the bank.
