Great experience - We were a group of medical students/residents working at the hospital in Kampala and felt obliged to at least come to work on Friday instead of skipping out, and Arthur kindly worked with us to still schedule us to come later that day and experience gorilla trekking the very next day. This was an awesome thing to do! Pricey but totally worth it - the money goes toward conservation, which is a difficult thing to accomplish due to the geopolitics, the danger of poachers, etc. They also arranged for us to visit Lake Bunyonyi, which was really rather beautiful, in addition to the surrounding mountain and landscapes. The accommodations chosen were quite reasonable with decent bathrooms and beds, as well as food. Our driver expertly navigated harsh terrain and Uganda's pretty tricky driving rules to get us to where we needed to be. And we still made it back in time on Sunday night, to go to work the next morning. Overall a great trip and well accomplished by Safari Vibes.

Amazing trip to gorillas and Lake Bunyonyi - I booked the 3 days gorilla tour and asked if possible to stop at Lake Bunyonyi. In the end we stayed even one night at lake Bunyonyi and had an amazing boat ride there. That was a surprise that made me so happy 😀. Thank you 🙏. That is what I really like about the Safari Vibes team. You can really trust they make the best out of your travel and it is very individual. Our guide for that trip was Frank, he was great. Explained a lot about the country and what is interesting to know. He drove very safe the long trip to the gorillas and the gorilla trekking itself was an unforgettable experience. I would definitely recommend to do it. After the trekking, Frank waited already for us and after showering in our luxurious accommodation how nice to get a shower after the hike 😀, we continued our trip to Bunyonyi Lake. It was wonderful! Thanks to the whole Safari Vibes Team, thanks for the surprise Arthur 😉.
