Queen Elizabeth National Park Tour Companies

The Gorilla Experience was amazing, but the overall trip was quite poorly planned. It resulted in us travelling on the bus for8-10 hours a day, often arriving at the camp site only an hour before it was dark. If I had known that this was going to be the case, I would have just flown to Uganda and gone straight to the Gorilla Park! Also our guide was not very good- very little information was given so I felt quite disconnected from the countries.

The tour was good but a lot of space for improvement . Lunch menu could be reviewed. Some times the Facilities in the camping sites were not working no flash or no hot water . Long driving hours , some times longer than mentioned in the trip notes. Out of the 16 days we had 5 full days of driving. So 11 days out of which the arrival and departure days. If you book in advance an activity you will be charged much more. In my case the golden monkeys was charged 180 usd and locally it was 100 usd. An other traveler booked in advance the ballon but she was not charged more . So there is some ambiguity in the pricing …. If you are Australian you would be privileged… as regards pricing . This is what I have understood. I am well traveled and it is the first time I see such ambiguity in the price of pre booked activities.

The.communication from Edison at Bamboo Ecotours was excellent. Detailed instructions on how to get to the pickup point in Kampala. My guide and driver Herbert was even more impressive! A really good driver, felt safe the whole time getting to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Very knowledgeable too once we got there ans always knew where to find the best spots for photos. Also knew many other guides in the area. Saw lions, elephants, hippos ans so many others. The lodge accommodation was also great, helpful and friendly staff and comfortable lodge. You can hear all the sounds of the national park at night. The kazinga channel boat ride ans chimpanzee tracking were quality brilliant. Overall a great four days, will be back for more. Mostly just thanks to Herbert!

lt was really a great and memorable experience for l and my family. We enjoyed every bit of the trip and the guide was extremely and professional with a great sense of humor. We look forward to touring again in the near future with my husband. l definitely recommend this company for a great experience.
