We organize great safari holidays that will reward you with great memories. in Uganda and Rwanda
I travelled in September on an 8 day safari as a solo female traveller. Any concerns or questions that I had prior to my trip were readily responded to by Justus. My fabulous and enthusiastic tour guide, Allan, made the experience a memorable one. He consistently gave 100%, was fun and knowledgeable. I learnt so much about beautiful Uganda, it’s friendly people and amazing wildlife. I felt safe throughout the entire journey , found the accommodation selections good and the tour vehicle was comfortable. The highlight for me was the gorillas but I also loved Murchison National Park. The only thing I might change if I were to do it again is to cut out one of the long day drives by adding a flight either at the beginning or end of the tour. I have no hesitation in recommending a tour of Uganda with Gorilla Bookings. Thanks for a great tour Gorilla Bookings and Allan????

Surrounded by the peaceful waters of Lake Victoria, Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is home to 49 orphaned chimps rescued from throughout Uganda. Island facilities offer day trips and overnight trips which provide exceptional opportunity to closely observe and interact with these fascinating great apes in this unique setting.
We had a few days in Entebbe before embarking on our birding and gorilla safari, so headed out to Ngamba Island Chimp Sanctuary. Well worth the visit, learnt a lot about chimps, had a wonderful boat ride on Lake Victoria crossing the equator each way and spent quite some time observing the bird and reptile life along the shore line of the island....a most enjoyable day!!

The mosque is very impressive and we had a wonderful tour. The entrance fee was reasonable and they can provide head scarves etc if needed. You have plenty of time on the tour to ask questions and take photos and it provided a good overview of the city of Kampala. The walk to the top of the minaret was well worth it for the view but be prepared for a lot of stairs! Tour took approx 1 hour

Well built, with well constructed grottos to serve as interpretations of the fateful events that happened when the Christian converts were killed for their new religion (then). Very peaceful and serene.

The Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre (Entebbe Zoo) is located 15 minutes from Entebbe International Airport, 36 kilometers from Uganda's capital Kampala. The centre cares for rescued animals, often victims of bush meat trade, habitat destruction, or illegal trade. Individuals that can make it in the wild, are released back. We don't buy animals nor use them for entertainment, but rather as ambassadors to help save and maintain those in the wild, wild! Listen to interpretative talks from our; keepers, guides work with animals every day. You can sign up as an animal surrogate mother for a day, participate in behind the scene experiences or simply spend a night in our hostel or African cottages as you await your flight or meeting! Our facility is ideal for both short and long stay/ visits, whilst in Uganda. Secure day and night parking available or quick access to public transport/ taxi is just a call away. We are always thrilled to receive your at UWEC Zoo, Entebbe.
Nice zoo with a lot of Animals to see. Also nice bar and playground for kids. Not good: must pay for kids which want to Play there

The authentic, original Source of the Nile Site, where the British Explorer Speke first discovered the River Nile (of course the Africans knew there was a river, but anyway..). Stand where he stood, take a picture with the monument, go for boatrides across the river nile and into Lake Victoria, see monkeys, monitor lizards, pythons (and maybe even an authentic African Witchdoctor). The site also allows for camping, nature walks, parties and occasions with a truly spectacular nature setting. Ideal for Birdwatching and anyone looking for 1 day tour in the Ugandan Countryside.
we visited the source of the Nile courtesy of "Bunya Adventures"and it was my second time at this place. its always breathe taking going to there and so much had changed, like the recreation center,Mahatma Gandhi statue,did a boat ride unto the source of the Nile. Its actually amazing to see houses on the water and whats beautiful is to see how the river starts inside the lake Victoria.(water separation). There is also a Gift shop that has good stuff made from Uganda which would be nice for remembrance. i actually bought key holders for myself and my family.

its so breathe taking to get closer on the water as it has a powerful sound and steam especially in the morning but one has to be careful with the slippery rocks during rainy season as you easily slide away. i loved the rafting on the falls,took great pictures with a help from Robert and Trevor of Bunya Adventures. The road is dusty and its around minutes drive. The locals were very friendly too when we needed directions

We took a tour of the botanical gardens on our first day in Entebbe. Definitely take a tour guide as you will miss most things because there are very few signs. In addition to the plants, there are also monkeys (black and white colobus( which reportedly escaped from the zoo and have made the gardens their home. Some guides will offer the opportunity to feed/interact with the vervet monkeys. DO NOT feed the monkeys, they become more bold and can bite if you do.
