"We enjoyed
the trip to Murchison Falls and it was a great pleasure to
overnight in Budongo Eco Lodge and the food was excellent.
I think it was the biggest experience for my students and

"I wanted to
write and say thank you to Great Lakes Safaris for two excellent
safaris - we really had a fantastic encounter with the gorillas
and enjoyed our time in Murchison Falls NP very much. Both
drivers (Bosco and Moses) were excellent and good at both
entertaining us and the children which was much appreciated!
With thanks again for all your help and support in arranging
our safari's in Uganda."

"We had -again-
a wonderful stay in East Africa. Tanzania was really amazing:
such a abundance of wildlife and John was a very good guide.
In Uganda it was really good to see Richard again and our
journey together was again amazing We definitely lost our
hart in Africa. Our journey in Tanzania and Uganda was everything
(and more). Kind regards to all of you and hope to see you
again in 2012!"

"We
had an amazing holiday in East Africa. Our only regret was
that our visit went to fast, I wish that we had been able
to spend more time in each place, particularly in Uganda.
I did not know what to expect, as there
is not a lot of publicity or promotion of Uganda in our country,
however we were very pleasantly surprised! Uganda is a beautiful
country with wonderful friendly people, which has not yet
been spoilt by commercialism. Our driver-guide was the amazing
Gerald, who is very knowledgeable, considerate, tolerant and
also has a great sense of humour. Our accommodation at Mihingo
Lodge and Buhoma Lodge was wonderful, the food and service
was perfect, we all wanted to spend more time at these places.
The Gorilla tracking was the hardest physical thing I have
ever done (straight up and down two mountains) but was well
worth it. We got to see a 3 month old baby and others at very
close range.
Every part of our holiday in East Africa
was planned and carried out with precision. We always felt
very welcome and comfortable and would happily recommend these
holiday destinations and travel companies to everybody. Thank
you for making my trip of a lifetime."

"I just wanted to write once again
to say a HUGE thank you for such a wonderful trip for the
team. They had a fantastic time and were just delighted with
everything. Thank you for all your help and patience- we couldn't
have asked for a more helpful tour company. We'll definitely
use you again!"

Ken and Linda Tillman, USA
"We want to thank you for all your
help and guidance. We had a wonderful time in Uganda and the
itinerary worked out great. It took all Linda had to make
it to the gorillas, but it was worth it. Bwindi is a neat
place for a whole variety of reasons. The chimpanzees out
did the gorillas and exceeded our expectations. They were
hooting and howling and chasing one another. Lake Mburo turned
out to be much better than we expected too. It's a nice little
park and we could easily have spent a couple days there.
Our driver, Robert, was a very good and safe driver, a knowledgeable
guide, and an all-around nice man. He did an excellent job.
So thanks again for your part in making our visit to Uganda
successful and special."

"IVery
many thanks for organizing a wonderful holiday in Uganda -
everything has changed so much (for the better) since I lived
and worked in Kampala in the late 80s. All three of us thoroughly
enjoyed our trip and were amazed at the amount of wildlife
that was to be seen. Our holiday was made all the better due
to the presence of Peter - he was such a good driver, very
knowledgeable about everything, very helpful and such a jolly
happy fellow. Please pass on our thanks to him. Thanks to
everyone at Great Lakes for organizing everything."

Robert Silon, USA
"Let me start by
saying my family and I enjoyed the safari immensely. The Gorilla
Forest Camp was a wonderful experience. The staff, accommodations,
the food, all were exceptional. Mihingo Lodge may be the most
exquisite accommodation we have ever stayed, bar none. The
setting, the rooms, the view was unparalleled and the food
was delightful, as was the staff. The morning walking safari
was thrilling. Truly one of the most magnificent accommodations
anywhere in the world - and that is spoken my experience.
Our guide Gerald was knowledgeable
and friendly. All our needs were accommodated and in a very
friendly manner. His driving skills were top shelf. The tracking
experience was all we could have hoped for. Our trackers and
guides were thorough and professional. The trek through the
Bwindi Forest was a dream, it could not have been more spectacular.
It was only surpassed by the actual time spent with the Gorilla
Family M. Being that close, and experiencing the family in
their world was a once in a life time experience. All in all
- an amazing and captivating adventure!"

Peter and Stephanie Thurgood, UK
"A very big thank
you for organizing such a brilliant holiday for us! All of
our trip went exactly to plan and Richard was great, nothing
was ever to much trouble for him, a really lovely man. The
gorilla trek was really hard but worth every step! We loved
all the lodges and the food was amazing.
All in all though, we
had a great time, loved Uganda and the lovely friendly people
and incredible wildlife. So once again many, many thanks for
all your professionalism patience and help in organizing such
a great trip. Our thanks also of course to everyone at Great
Lakes, to all the staff who were involved, you are a great
team. We shall of course be recommending you to everyone."

"Last Friday evening
I stayed one night at your lodge in Budongo and then went
chimp tracking the following morning. I'd like to say that
I enjoyed it very much and was fortunate enough to see a group
of chimps. My guide, Sauda, was very well informed and enthusiastic
and the experience was everything I had hoped. As regards
the accommodation, this was excellent. The bed was by far
was the most comfortable I slept in amongst the 7 different
hotels of my trip through Uganda and the bedding was also
top quality. Good luck for the future."

Tom Gibson, USA
"I am remiss in not
writing sooner, but I wanted to take a moment to thank you
for all that you did to make our Uganda trip such a great
success. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience from start
to finish. Great Lakes did a great job with the itinerary,
accommodations, guides etc. The scenery, wildlife and bird
sightings were spectacular and the Ugandan people were quite
gracious and welcoming. I would be happy to serve as a reference
for anyone considering a similar trip."

Bobby Hogg, UK
"We just want to
confirm that we had a very enjoyable trip to Bwindi to see
the gorillas. Peter, our guide/driver, was excellent, very
attentive to our needs and contributed much to make this a
successful and enjoyable trip."

Graham and Sharon Brown, USA
"We
had an amazing time in East Africa, the tour met all our expectations
and more. Everything went as per itinerary you put together
with no problems what so ever. The lodges and staff were great
from the moment we checked in until we checked out. Their
friendliness and nothing is a problem attitude to their work
certainly made the experience even more enjoyable.
The safari companies in Uganda, Kenya & Tanzania were fantastic
and well organized. Our guides, Davis,Hatchi & Laiser were
always friendly and their knowledge of not only the wildlife
but also the culture and the landscape of all the areas visited
made our holiday not only a lot of fun but an educational
experience we will not forget."

Ronald Yutesler, USA
"I recently
had the pleasure of going on a 3 day safari to Murchison Falls
National Park with my grandson. I just wanted to let you know
what a completely wonderful experience it was for both of
us. Our guide Bosco could not have done a better job, I don't
know how often he runs into an energetic 6 year old but he
did an excellent job keeping him interested and entertained
during our experience. I will highly recommend your company
to anyone looking for a safari experience. Thanks again for
a wonderful time."
