Independent feedback from travellers who explored Uganda with us
Our first gorilla trek was handled perfectly — briefing, pacing, and lodge choices all made sense. Adventure in the Wild Safaris is a team you can trust in Uganda.
Can highly recommend a safari with Adventure in the Wild. Simon was responsive and communication was excellent throughout planning and while we were on the ground in Uganda.
Professional from start to finish. Transparent pricing, timely updates on WhatsApp, and a fantastic Murchison Falls extension. Highly trusted local operator.
Adventure in The Wild Safaris Ltd provided good value for money with strong communication and customer service. Our gorilla safari was smooth, well paced, and unforgettable.
As solo travellers we felt safe and well looked after throughout. Permits, park fees, and lodge check-ins were all sorted before we arrived — stress-free from day one.
We chose Adventure in the Wild Safaris after reading reviews and were not disappointed. Bwindi gorilla day and Lake Mburo extension were both superbly organised.
From airport pickup to final drop-off, everything worked. Adventure In The Wild Safaris is professional, warm, and clearly experienced with international guests.
Responsive on email and WhatsApp, fair pricing, and a fantastic Murchison boat cruise. The whole team made our Uganda trip feel personal rather than packaged.
