Summary: I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Bosco, who made our trip truly unforgettable. Every single day and every activity was absolutely breathtaking. Our adventure began in the Kibale Forest with chimpanzee tracking, where we experienced these amazing animals up close – something we’ll never forget. Afterwards, we did a community walk in Bigodi. We didn’t really know what to expect, but it turned out to be such a special experience. We met wonderful people who shared their daily lives with us – something I can only recommend to everyone if you get the chance! The safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park was incredible. From elephants to lions, zebras, and hippos – we saw it all, surrounded by the endless beauty of nature. Simply stunning! Then came the long-awaited highlight – the mountain gorillas. We were so lucky to find our gorilla family after only about an hour of trekking through the jungle. Spending an hour with these gentle giants was truly the absolute highlight of our trip. In Lake Mburo National Park, we enjoyed a walking safari among giraffes. Being so close to these graceful animals that you could almost touch them was just magical. Next, we visited the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, and even on our way to the lodge we spotted our first rhinos! The tracking experience was incredible – we found a mother with three young ones, and soon after, a massive bull joined them. A rare and lucky sighting for us! Finally, we traveled to Murchison Falls National Park. The boat safari on the Nile was spectacular – we saw elephants, hippos, crocodiles, waterbucks, and countless bird species. The grand finale was reaching the mighty Murchison Falls, where the Nile crashes through a narrow six-meter gap – an awe-inspiring sight! During our game driven the Park, we saw many more animals and even spotted a leopard napping in the trees. This trip was the adventure of a lifetime – full of wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable moments. Thank you, Bosco, for making it all possible!

Summary: The trip with Enchanted Uganda Safaris, with Bosco and his team was an unforgettable experience! We experienced Africa in its purest form, saw many, many animals and original African life. Bosco's team really organized everything wonderfully! The itinerary, the selected lodges, the events showed us that the team has thought about how to organize such a trip in such a way that it is great for the tourists. The domestic / African know-how is of course essential. Everyone was very, very nice the whole time and in a good mood even after exhausting long days. Vincent chauffeured us very safely and routinely through the teeming city traffic and over bumpy dirt roads as well as on the safaris in the national parks - always a friendly word and a smile on his lips; patient in answering all our questions. Keep it up, Bosco! This will move Africa forward and show us Europeans what is really important and sustainable! Thank you very much!!

Summary: We felt completely safe, secure, and well cared for throughout our trip with Bosco from Enchanted Uganda Safari. Bosco’s expertise, adaptability, and ability to handle unforeseen changes (such as activity schedule modifications) made our journey even better than expected. His extensive knowledge of the parks and wildlife, combined with an uncanny ability to locate animals and birds, allowed us to see far more than we had imagined. We spotted hippopotamuses, African lions, giraffes, zebras, leopards, gorillas, and chimpanzees. The accommodations were exactly as described, and Bosco’s advice about when air conditioning would be necessary was invaluable. Thanks to Enchanted Uganda Safari, we had the trip of a lifetime.
