Africa Within, South Africa
"Thank
you for all your arranging and making our trip to Uganda such
a memorable one. Sue and the team had a wonderful time and
really brought back some amazing footage.
I am delighted that you have had such a good response from
those who watched the show. If ever we plan a trip to Uganda
again - you will be the first person I call. Take care!"

"My husband and I had promised our
son Andrew that one day we would go back with him to the land
of his birth. 2005 was the year we finally made it - forty
years later. With the help of Great Lakes we had an amazing
three-week trip throughout Uganda - the national parks; the
smaller game sanctuaries, the villages and their rich daily
life; even the church where we were married in the early sixties.
We needed a very special kind of safari, with the wonders
of Uganda's parks being combined with the friendliness and
charm of the Ugandan people. Great Lakes showed us how a visit
such as this could be tailor-made, could penetrate some of
the remotest locations and, despite those bumpy roads, come
up at the end with six individuals totally convinced that
Uganda is indeed a very special place.
We cannot speak too highly of how Great
Lakes responded to the challenge. Our guide and adviser, Martin
Okot, who accompanied us throughout, was really excellent.
He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of Uganda - birds,
animals, geography, history, the people and he was fun to
be with. He really helped to make this trip meet all our complicated
needs.
There are so many highlights - the gorillas,
and the professionalism of the rangers in finding them after
a few hours heavy climbing; the tree lions at Ishasha, much
heard of in the past but almost reduced to mythology - until
this trip; the camp on the river at Ishasha and watching elephants
emerge from the forests to do their morning ablutions; the
hippo frolicking in the hotel swimming pool at Paraa by moonlight.
But above all the Ugandans, smiling, waving, always friendly,
an enormous asset on which to build the future tourist industry
and in which Great Lakes will surely lead the way.
Thank you Great Lakes! We will spread
the news, but discretely!"

Jay Gibbons and Danielle Holthaus, USA
"We had
an absolutely wonderful time in Uganda. We couldn't have
asked for a more professional, knowledgeable, friendly guide
than Martin. We learned so much during our visit, not only
about your beautiful country and its spectacular wildlife,
but the people and culture of Uganda as well. We feel very
fortunate to have found Great Lakes Safaris, and Martin in
particular. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone
considering a visit to Uganda. Please feel free to include
us as part of your reference list.
Thank you so much for all of your help in coordinating our
trip, and please send Martin our sincere gratitude for a truly
memorable experience."

Andy Wood & Heather Porter, USA
"We had high expectations before
coming to Uganda, given the family connections, but these
were exceeded. What made that happen was the way we were treated
by everyone at Great Lakes, from our first enquiry to the
emotional good bye to Martin. We all feel a stronger connection
to Uganda because we now have new and genuine friends at Great
Lakes. We loved meeting Jaynefer, our first point of contact
with a total interest in our well being. As for Martin, three
weeks in a van with him was not long enough! He was wonderful
and made our trip the success it was. He has extensive knowledge
of Uganda and Africa, its animals, culture and not forgetting
the birds! He was very diplomatic and sensitive to our needs,
with a fantastic sense of humour, which I suppose is a pre-requisite
for guiding 'strangers'. He's also an incredible driver &
mechanic especially with such difficult roads. He will always
be considered a friend and we're so looking forward to seeing
him again.
The trip was excellent, we have already
recommended you and will come back to Uganda. Thank you all
for making our trip more than a holiday."
