Private tour of Uganda

We're already back a month from our fantastic holiday in Uganda. What a beautiful tour we had. Everything was perfectly arranged by Leony from Afrika Online.
Upon arrival in Entebbe, our guide Abdu was waiting for us. We were given a warm welcome. The next morning our trip heading north-east commenced. We highly recommend a visit to Kidepo National Park.

Despite it being quite a few kilometres, this isn't noticeable because there's so much beauty to see along the way. The park itself is magnificent. We were able to spot all sorts of wildlife, even a lion and lioness with prey up close. We also visited a tribe nearby who are related to the Maasai in Tanzania. After Kidepo, we visited more national parks such as Murchison Falls.

National Park, where we also had a wonderful boat trip on the Nile, Kibale Forest where we saw the chimpanzees, Queen Elizabeth National Park, where we had both a boat trip and a brilliant walk in the Kyambura Gorge. We also visited the southern part of this park, Ishasha, known for lions that sit in trees. Unfortunately, we didn't see them. They were probably in Congo. However, we did see hyenas in the morning. Then on to Bwindi Impenetrable

Forest National Park where we were fortunate enough to see the gorillas. It was a very steep climb but definitely worth the effort. Nearby, we also made an interesting visit to the Batwa Pygmy people. They were the original inhabitants of Mgahinga Gorilla Park. Because this park became a national park, the inhabitants had to leave. It was interesting to see how they survived in the rainforest. You can also spot gorillas in Mgahinga Park. The price is the same as in Bwindi. The vegetation is less dense here, so there is probably a better chance of viewing the gorillas in an open area.

Next, we also visited Lake Bunyonyi and, to conclude our trip, spent 2 full days on one of the Sesse Islands, namely Bugala Island. Then, by ferry, we returned to Entebbe. The end of a magnificent holiday in a beautiful, super-safe country with very friendly people.

Finally, we'd like to mention that Leony from Afrika Online did everything possible to find the right places for us to stay. Because we were dependent on electricity, this was quite a challenge for her. Our guide Abdu even brought his own generator in case there was no power available. Great!!!

We can therefore wholeheartedly recommend AfrikaOnline. Almost anything is possible with them. When we head back to the African continent, we will definitely travel with this travel agency again.
