          Amazing experience. The whole trip was perfectly organised, we didn't have to worry about anything. The hotels were perfect, the driver was friendly and knowledgable. And the activities were better that we could have ever imagined!

          We had an amazing adventure in Uganda, all thanks to The Safari Vibes!
          We had very little time to arrange a trip to Uganda and were looking for a customized itinerary to maximize our short visit. Fortunately, we found Arthur of The Safari Vibes here on TripAdvisor, who was extremely fast in communication and helped us immensely by arranging us a custom 5-day trip, visiting Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison Falls, Sipi Falls, and Jinja. We even had a video call prior to the trip to discuss the plan and to make sure everything was according to our wishes. Given our limited timeframe, we probably couldn't have visited Uganda without Arthur's quick help and flexibility. Big thanks to you, Arthur! Here is a short overview of our trip: We were picked up in Kampala by Wilson, one of the experienced guides from The Safari Vibes team. On the first day, Wilson brought us to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where we were thrilled to see four white rhinos up close, walking just a few meters away from them! Afterwards, we continued our journey to Murchison Falls. In Murchison, we started with an unforgettable chimpanzee tracking experience in the Bugungu Reserve, where we spotted over 20 chimpanzees. We then traveled to Hornbill Bush Lodge, were we where treated like royalty. Day two started with a bit of a challenge as Leroy was unwell, but Wilson, Arthur (on the phone), and the lodge staff took great care of us, even bringing breakfast to our room. Despite the rough start, we managed to visit the stunning Murchison Falls. Later, we enjoyed a fantastic boat trip on the Nile, spotting various wildlife. Our guide Wilson then took us on an evening safari where we saw numerous animals up close, and ending the day with an encounter with an elephant on the road near our lodge. On the third day, we took a long drive to Sipi Falls (review about our Sipi adventure in more detail here: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g3732357-d25457165-r953405780-Mt_Elgon_Hikes_Uganda-Sipi_Eastern_Region.html). We stayed in a beautiful house with a panoramic view on the big Sipi waterfall. We had a fascinating coffee tour, learning about the entire coffee-making process from local farmers. We ended the day with a sunset view on a nearby mountaintop and a delicious three-course dinner. Day four began with an exciting hike along the upper falls of Sipi, leading to the lower falls where Leroy abseiled down while I enjoyed the view and captured the moment. After a delicious lunch at the lodge, we headed to Jinja, where we finally met Arthur in person. He welcomed us warmly and took us to a lovely spot by the Nile, followed by a visit to a gourmet market. The evening was relaxed, preparing us for our last day. The final day was calm and enjoyable, starting with a breakfast followed by a boat trip to the source of the Nile. We explored the town for souvenirs, had an amazing lunch, and then prepared for our journey back. Our guide of the boat tour was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making the trip informative and fun. During the trip, we saw various birds, monkeys, and some large lizards. Afterwards, we were dropped off all the way at the airport for our flight back. Arthur and his team ensured every detail was perfect: everything was arranged for us from pickup to drop-off at the airport, so we had nothing to worry about. The accommodations were wonderful, the food was excellent, and the experiences were unique and thrilling. The Safari Vibes took great care of us, and for a very fair price. We highly recommend The Safari Vibes to anybody who wants to visit Uganda!

          Fantastic experience in Uganda
          Thank you Artha for an unforgettable trip. From the beginning he was very helpful and made things easy and fun. Our safari was a great success. We couldn't have hoped for a better experience.

          Good Single-Night Option
          This trip was a one night excursion to Lake Mburo. Arthur was great to work with and is very responsive in his communications. This was a fun trip with the only disappointment being we never got to any of the lakes/water features in the area. However, Arthur assured me if I were to bring a group (I was scoping this trip out for that possibility in the future) we could get to the water. The walking trek with a UWA guide was fantastic and we spent a lot of time following a herd of about 15 giraffe, including some babies. A bonus for me was seeing the Ankole cattle that are from this region; a traditional specie whose horns are used to make many Ugandan craft items. Overall, a nice trip with excellent accommodations.

          Uganda safari
          This was by far the best safari experience I have ever had, from the vehicle to the accommodations, everything was on point. Frank was awesome, took good care of us and showed us a great time. The lions and the leopards were the highlight along with the chimp trekking..... the chimps were very cool that is an experience all to itself. Loved every minute of it

          Organised car rental through artha as my car broke down. Artha was so flexible and helpful and the prices were extremely reasonable. The car we rented was in excellent condition.

          We found the cats!! First vehicle out of the lodge in the morning and last vehicle back in the evening!!
          We stayed in the middle of the park which allowed us to leave early and come back late. This was my third trip to Murchison and the first time I saw leopards! We also saw lions every game drive as well as a ton of other animals. Overall it was a great time on safari! Artha and Frank were great hosts/guides. Frank knew the park well and is an expert on hunting cats! I first met Artha when he was working on the river in Jinja. He has taken his great customer service skills from there and started a very cool safari company! I have friends or family come to visit me about once a year and I will definitely be booking with Safari Vibes again. Book the trip you will have a great time!!

          Incredible experience! We saw 5 leopards on our game drives thanks to our guide's expertise. The food and lodging was all taken care of and everything was very smooth and well organized.

          Wakanda Forever vibes
          Frank was our guide and he was super professional and knows his stuff. We had lots of questions and he had lots of answers. He didn't need a map because he so confidently knew where the animals were. We cut ours to 2 days (because we had to fly out earlier than planned) but we had such a good time. The accomodation was nice and within budget. It was nice to pay one fee and have everything covered (transport, food and lodging). Will definitely reach out to Arthur and Frank when I need to go on another trip.

          Highly recommend ! Amazing and unforgettable experience
          Don’t miss out, book with safari vibes today ! Artha was amazing and so helpful. My plans changed last minute and he was able to cater to my needs. We went to murchison, lake Mburo, queen elizabeth and fort portal. Our guide Frank worked so hard to make sure we saw all of the Big Five animals! Accommodation was all at some amazing lodges as well. I felt like royalty the whole time. If you want a personalized safari this is your company. Artha is a great guy and hires some really great guides who are not only incredibly experienced but also super fun and personable. I can’t thank him enough for this trip!

        We have just completed an 8 day safari with Artha from Safari Vibes and we had such an amazing time. We saw tree climbing lions in Murchison Falls which is such a rare occurence since they usually only climb in Queen Elizabeth, we also saw 3 leopards on the same day which was unbelievable. Artha was excellent from the beginning when we were planning the trip and gave us the best package available and his company was quite affordable compared to the other companies we asked for thr same package. I would definitely recommend these guys.
