Gail Orton & friends, UK
"Just a quick note to say thank
you for all your help with our safari. We had a wonderful
time in Uganda and loved the trip. We were particularly grateful
to have had Paul as our guide. He was very professional, courteous
and good fun. We thoroughly enjoyed his company and he knew
exactly how to focus on what we were interested in and even
managed to convert us to birds!
I think we would all recommend Great Lakes Safaris to anyone
we know who is going to Uganda."

Ingus & girlfriend, Latvia
"First of all - thank you for putting
another memorable trip together for us, and special thanks
to David for excellent driving around, as well as his commitment
to make best efforts to make us happy.
Regarding the trip itself - initially we came a little bit
worried how it would be, since we had very good memories about
last years trip and didn't want to be dissapointed. I have
to say that we were not dissapointed by any means, even more
- there were some nice additions to the trip also.
Overall, all activities during this trip
were very well organized and adjusted to our wishes. A very
big thanks to all GLS team once again! At some point we want
to come back to Uganda once again - feeling there is alsmost
like at home! I've been to quite many countries, but there
is not such urge to come back to it as it is for Uganda, you
have really a wonderful country!"

Andrea Pleijte, The Netherlands
"We visited Uganda in October 2007.
With 'we' I mean our 7 headed television crew from The Netherlands.
In just 6 filming days we wanted to capture the  country
on tape. A mission impossible we thought in advance, but it
turned out to be a peace of cake. The nature's beauty, the
friendly people, the lively villages: Uganda is one of those
rare spots in the world where every shot you make is a good
one!" Read

Suzanne Martin & Philip Legg, UK
"We thoroughly enjoyed our time in
both Uganda and Tanzania; the itinerary of our trip was just
excellent with just the right mix of jeep safari, trekking
and a good mix of accommodation too; the hotels in Tanzania
were especially brilliant.
We totally loved Uganda with its diverse countryside, amazing
gorillas and such welcoming and friendly people. Both David
and Adam were great guides and we wish to pass our sincerest
thanks onto them both.
We had an amzing time in East Africa and
would thoroughly recommend your company to friends of ours
wanting to do a similar trip. We had every confidence in your
organisational skills and our trip really did exceed our expectations,
for which we thank you enormously for!"

Sarah & Peter Harrison, USA
"We wanted to thank you all for organizing
a fantastic trip. We had a phenomenal time and truly loved
Uganda. All of the lodges/camps were great and the staff very
friendly.
In particular, Paul was a terrific guide. He has a passion
for nature (birds in particular) and he shared this with us
throughout the trip. We enjoyed his company and learned a
great deal about Uganda, birds and mammals. Great Lakes is
fortunate to have him as a guide.
The only scary part of our trip was when the elephants were
circling and eating outside our tent at Primate Lodge Kibale.
It led to a fairly sleepless night, but was very exciting
and a great story.
There is so much more we wanted to do in Uganda (fishing on
the Nile, bat caves in Queen Elizabeth, see a Shoebill, tree
climbing lions in Ishasha, etc.) that I wouldn't be surprised
if we are back in a few years. Thanks for organizing such
a great safari!"

Trijntje Medema & Björn van der Weide, The Netherlands
"We had a wonderfull stay in your
treehouse for one night. Elephants were around from 19.30
hrs untill the whole night... so w didn't get any sleep -
but we will never forget the great experience!
Thanks and keep up the good work by protecting the forest
and animals!"

"Now that we're safe and sound back
home, I wanted to thank you for all the effort you put into
making our trip an event to remember. We had an amazing visit
with the Nkuringo group and took some great pictures. Thanks
again for all your help!"

WINNERS OF THE CHIMP SAFARI
"I would like to thank you for the
opportunity you have given us to share with you and with the
chimps this safari, and to discover this magical country.
We had the opportunity to go to Ngamba Island, where we could
see how the chimps lived there. We also went to Jinja to have
the most popular tourist activitiy in the country. The rafting
in the source of the River Nile was one of the most exciting
experiences in my life... It is extreme!! We also visited
the Kibale National Park and enjoyed the nature and wildlife!
It has been one of the most exciting holidays ever and we
have great memories of the country. The local people are amazing
and a great feeling of happiness surrounds Uganda!"

Riekus & Ada Schippers, The Netherlands
"We had a fantastic trip! The communication
with Great Lakes Safaris in advance was very pleasant and
the safari well arranged. Gerald was a very good driver and
a great guide. He told us so much about his country, the people
and the animals. We couldn't have wished for a better guide
and are grateful for meeting him.
It was our first time in Africa and we were amazed by so much
beautiful wildlife: elephants, giraffes, hartebeests, lions,
zebras, monkeys, hippo's, crocodiles etc. It seemed to be
one big zoo! The waterfalls were very impressive and we had
the luck to admire many chimpanzees during the chimp tracking.
All of the booked accommodations were fine, one a bit more
comfortable than the other. Especially Rwenzori View Guesthouse
and Bunyonyi Overland Camp were very nice. And in Bwindi we
had a fantastic location, as the gorillas were just passing
here and we could calmly watch them! In short, we enjoyed
a lot and met many friendly people. It was an unforgettable
experience!"
