Gina and David Williams, UK
"Just a quick email to thank Great
Lakes for a wonderful time at Murchison Falls. Our guide Gerald
took excellent care of us and was professional and considerate
to our needs at all times. Always smiling and very thoughtful...
(supplied us with lots of juicy pineapples in the sweltering
heat!). Thank you once again.

"I just wanted to let you know that
I have been extremely satisfied with the service and professionalism
of the people who attended our needs. Angel responds immedately
and concise. She even ensured in the early morning that my
hotel would wake me up for the rafting trip. Her services
have been to the highest standard. Also Noel has been very
professional and always found solutions in difficult situations.
Again, very impressive and all very well handled. I shall
recommend Great Lakes wholeheartedly to anyone who asks."

"Ma famile et moi
sommes partis en safari en Ouganda avec Great Lakes Safaris
et nous somme tous repartis la tête pleine de souvenirs
inoubliables. Les raisons pour lesquelles nous somme allés
en Ouganda sont plutôt inhabituelles : mon mari est
ougandais et nous sommes venus célébrer notre
mariage avec sa famille en Ouganda. Huit membres de ma famille
ont décidé de faire le voyage avec nous et c'est
ainsi qu’a germé l'idée de faire un safari
en Ouganda.
J'ai organisé moi-même
le voyage pour le groupe et j'ai trouvé que les membres
du personnel de Great Lakes Safari étaient très
efficaces, sympathiques et désireux d’assurer
un service de qualité. D’ailleurs, il s’agit
là d’une constante en Ouganda : tous les Ougandais
que nous avons croisés nous ont semblé sincèrement
gentils, polis et heureux d'aider.
Nous avons visité trois parcs nationaux (Murchison
Falls, Kibale et Queen Elizabeth), qui avaient chacun leur
particularité. Murchison Falls est
le seul parc en Ouganda où l’on peut voir des
girafes et les paysages sont spectaculaires. Le parc
de Kibale abrite des chimpanzés que l’on
peut voir vaquer à leurs occupations au cœur de
la forêt. Quant au parc de Queen Elizabeth,
il abrite une multitude d’animaux et la vue sur le parc
depuis notre lodge (Katara Lodge) était tout simplement
époustouflante. Les deux balades en bateau (sur le
Nile à Murchison et sur le canal de Kisinga à
Queen Elizabeth) étaient également très
intéressantes et nous ont également permis d’observer
une grande variété d’animaux, notamment
de nombreux hippopotames.
Les guides, Richard et Noel, ont également
été en très grande partie responsables
du succès de notre voyage. Ils étaient toujours
près à répondre à nos questions,
possèdent de nombreuses connaissances et sont très
respectueux des animaux et de l’environnement. Se sont
également de très bons conducteurs et nous nous
sommes toujours sentis en sécurité sur la route,
ce qui est important, car les routes sont parfois semées
d’embûches et peuvent être dangereuses."

"My relatives and I went on safari
in Uganda with Great Lakes Safaris and we all went back home
with plenty of unforgettable memories. The
reason for our trip to Uganda was rather unusual: my husband
is Ugandan and we came to Uganda to celebrate our wedding
with his relatives. Eight members of my familiy decided to
join us and that's how the idea of going on a safari started.
I organised the trip for the group and
I found the staff at Great Lakes Safaris to be very efficient,
friendly and anxious to offer a good service. This is actually
something recurrent in Uganda: all the Ugandan people we met
seemed genuinely nice, polite and happy to help.
We visited three national parks (Murchison Falls, Kibale and
Queen Elizabeth), which all had their own highlights. Murchison
Falls is the only park in Uganda where you can see
giraffes and the landscapes are spectacular. Kibale
National Park is home to chimpanzees which you can
see going on about their day to day life in the heart of the
forest. As for Queen Elizabeth National Park,
it boasts a great variety of animals and the view from our
lodge (Katara Lodge) was simply breathtaking. The two boat
trips (on the Nile in Murchison FAlls and on the Kazinga Channel
in Queen Elizabeth) were also very interesting and we were
once again able to see a great variety of animals, including
many hippos.
The guides, Richard and Noel, were also
largely responsible for the success of our trip. They were
always ready to answer our many questions, and they are knowledgeable
and very respectful of the animals and the environment. They
are also very good drivers and we always felt very safe, which
is very important as the roads can be treacherous and dangerous."

Kätlin Vesker, Estonia
"It has been a few days now back
in windy and rainy Estonia but I wanted to thank you and Richard
for a very memorable trip we had in Uganda! Seeing gorillas
so close was one of the best experiences ever despite it was
physically quite hard. The best hotel was the Haven with all
the surroundings and foot etc.
Thanks again and best regards to Richard from us."

Gudrun and Matthias Hempel, Germany
"We thank you very much for the very
nice journey. It was perfect. We are very hapy about our visit
in Uganda. And Isaak was a very friendly man and a very good
guide. We hope you will have always a good and healthy time
and many tourist people. Please send Isaak many wishes from
us."

Brett Baumann and Susan Mead, USA
"We're back from Africa and I just
wanted to thank GLS for a wonderful safari. We really enjoyed
our gorilla trek and saw 4 babies! This was truly the highlight
of our trip. However, our real surprise was the Ugandan people.
Everyone we met was very helpful and kind. And clearly, Ugandan
children are the happiest in the world. Our guide, Nasser,
was excellent and he went out of his way to make sure we were
happy. We especially enjoyed eating at Ugandan restaurants.
As for yourself, thank
you very much for all your help during the booking process
and setting up our safari. Your kindness and patience with
all our questions was much appreciated.
Now for us, its back to work,
but we're thinking seriously of returning and seeing more
of Uganda. So don't be surprised if you hear from us again,
as we'd really like to visit Mgahinga and the Rwenzoris!"

"My wife and I finished a three week
safari in early August. It was absolutely excellent, thanks.
Beki was a wonderful guide and when we return to Uganda will
want to meet up with him again."

Andras Zboray, Hungary
"Back home safely, thank you very
much for all the splendid organisation you have done for us.
We have enjoyed our time in Uganda immensely, Petrus was a
wonderful companion, a perfect choice! It was one of those
very rare trips where we can not think of anything that was
unpleasant or did not go as expected (roads notwithstanding,
but that was expected :)).
Thank you once again, and please pass our thanks and greetings
to Petrus. While it can never be a definite promise, I think
it is rather likely that we will be back sometime."

Hollie Walker, UK
"Primate Lodge was
absolutely fantastic! Facilities and accommodation faultless!
Driver: very knowledgeable and always made sure we got the
best out of the 5 days. Couldn’t have improved anything!
Every activity was fantastic, once in a lifetime! Game drive
and chimp tracking were unbelievable! Boat trip was amazing
as was the whole safari, we wish we’d had longer. The
company was very patient with us while we were booking the
trip and made sure we got all the right info before coming
to Uganda. We will definitely be back.
Thanks to GLS and especially
Richard for an unforgettable 5 days."

we had a fabulous time on our safari. Noel our guide was terrific.
Thank you so much."
