Laba Africa Expeditions

  We just got back home from 10 days in Uganda and Rwanda organized by Samuel and the team at Laba Africa. The trip really exceeded our hopes and Samuel delivered... read more everything that he promised us in our itinerary. They are good at communication and made...More

  Uganda is such beautiful country with varied countryside, friendly people and diverse wildlife. Our aim had been to see gorillas and chimpanzees, but Sam at Laba Africa managed to produce... read more a full and varied itinerary to cover the 9 days we had available, so we were able to see much more.
Our guide, Alonso, was absolutely first class, adjusted the schedule when needed and was a wonderful driver over challenging terrain, and was very knowledgeable/ great at spotting wildlife. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Definitely request him if he is available!
Out trip included a rhino sanctuary, Murchison Falls National park and a Nile river boat cruise to near the base of the stunning falls. Then Kibale National park, to track chimpanzees: fantastic! Next Queen Elizabeth National Park for more game drives. At Ishasha, we saw the notorious tree climbing lions including 2 cubs...definitely not to be missed. Next the lush rainforests of Bwindi National Park: a physically hard trek, but so worth it! We saw 10 gorillas within 2 metres of us. Incredible! Our final stop was some time relaxing near Lake Bunyonyi.
The accomodation Laba Africa organised was super, especially some of the lodges - my favourite was Kibale Forest Camp.. The food was great, the staff very welcoming and helpful.
The price was very reasonable, given everything that was included (thoughful touches include water and water bottles provided) , and I would therefore definitely recommend using Laba Africa.
