"UGANDA... por supuesto!! Llegamos a Uganda con ilusión, pero tambien con algo de incertidumbre. ¿En que situación está el país? ¿Cómo sera la agencia de viajes contratada? Transcurridos los 11 días de viaje, ya no existen dudas, Uganda es un país seguro y Great Lakes Safaris Ltd. una agencia seria y profesional. Resultado: un gran viaje!

El plato fuerte de nuestro viaje han sido los gorilas de Bwindi, una experiencia unica e inolvidable que no debes perderte, pero las otras visitas tambien son muy interesantes: Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth Park, Lake Bunyonyi... bonito paisaj y fauna interesante y sobre todo la amabilidad de la gente, sin olvidarnos de una gastronomia saludable.

En cuanto a Great Lakes Safaris Ltd. nos ha sorprendido gratamente. Se trata de una pequeña agencia pero con un trato exquisito, muy profesional y a la vez familiar. Personalizando un poco, nuestro guia, Beki, es una gran persona... y eso vale mucho!! Amos, el director y propietario, es un joven emprendedor, inteligente y receptivo a todo aquella que sirva para mejorar el servicio de Great Lakes Safaris y tambien el desarrollo del turismo en Uganda. Jaynefer hace el trabajo de oficina, fue nuestro contacto per e-mail. Joven, amable, comunicadora, resolverá cualquier duda en la organización del viaje. Amy, esposa de Amos, nos ayudo a comprender mejor la situación de Uganda, desde su posición de mujer occidental.

Podriamos extendernos mucho, pero todo es tan sencillo como decir que, Uganda no te decepcionara. Para acabar comentar que, en Uganda hay miles de huérfanos. Existen muchos proyectos en el pais, de diferentes organizaciones, que intentan ayudar a estos niños y necesitan nuestra colaboracion. No dudes en informarte antes de ir, y colabora en lo que puedas, sera de gran ayuda.

"UGANDA... of course!! We arrived in Uganda a bit doubtful, but nevertheless excited. What situation would the country be in? What would the travel agency be like? After an 11 days stay there were no doubts at all, Uganda is a safe country and Great Lakes Safaris Ltd. is a competent, professional company. The result: a great holiday!

The highlight of our stay was the gorillas of Bwindi, an unforgettable, unique experience that should not be missed. However, other visits were also extremely interesting: Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth Park, Lake Bunyonyi... beautiful scenery and fascinating wildlife and above all the kindness and hospitality of the people without forgetting the healthy gastronomy.

We were pleasantly surprised with Great Lakes Safaris Ltd. A small agency providing an excellent, professional service with a personal touch. More specifically, our guide Beki is a terrific person... and this means a lot! Amos, the manager and owner, is an intelligent, up and coming, young businessman who is open to all suggestions for improving the services of Great Lakes Safaris and promoting tourism in Uganda. Jaynefer does the office work and was our contact on the e-mail. She is young and friendly and solves any queries regarding travel etc. Amos' wife, Amy, helped us to understand more about the situation in Uganda from her position as an eastern woman.

We could go on and on, but it is easier to say - Uganda will not disappoint you. On a final note, we should mention that there are thousands of orphans in Uganda and many projects to help these children are being run by different organisations in the country and need our collaboratoin. Please do not hesitate to make enquiries beforehand if you wish to collaborate as this would be of great assistance."

"We came to Uganda in February 2004 and we are glad to say that it has been really exciting. Our whole trip to Uganda was unforgettable. We cannot thank your company enough for the organisation of our travel within Uganda and Rwanda and the service provided by your staff was exceptional. The standard of accommodation and meals provided were far beyond our expectation and we found each of the camps you selected for us unique, absolutely enjoyable with astonishing game-viewing opportunities. We have already recommended your service to other people intending to travel to Uganda after we had passed on to them our enthusiasm about the Great Lakes region.

There have been so many highlights and among them we particularly enjoyed the leopard in the Murchison Falls National Park, the sunset on top of Murchison Falls. the lion families in Queen Elizabeth, the chimp alpha male named Mobuto in Kibale, the gorillas on Mount Sabinyo, the silver back charging Patrick, etc. The trip to the Virungas in Rwanda was one of the best travel experiences we have had so far. What a scenery!

We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our experience and want to thank you for the excellent job you did in preparing everything for us. We really felt that we were given V.I.P. treatment everywhere we went. Our guides and the friendly people in Uganda in general were all delightful and obviously very proud of their country. They were also very knowledgeable, ensuring that we were comfortable and well looked after. The aforementioned statements show that we fully enjoyed the tour. Thanks to you all very much. Especially we want to thank Frank our enthusiastic guide and companion all through the trip, Jaynefer and Amos for the organisation

We would definitely use your travel agency again for another trip to the region and recommend you to anyone we know. Please keep us informed about the travel opportunities to the Congolese side of the Virungas. It was a great choice to travel with your agency. Good luck to you all."
