Overall this is a great tour for those who have only 1 day and would like to see the country outside of the hotel. Martin is a great guide who has been a great source of information and good humour. Be prepared for a great deal of driving time, it is really crazy, but inevitable evil. I would encourage everyone on business trip to step out of the hotel and see the country!
Memorable trip
I was a solo male traveler and a bit anxious to go on a trip by myself. Joseph made me feel so comfortable and it was such an amazing time! He gave me so many options of things to do and tailored the trip to what I was really interested in. It was absolutely amazing and I couldn't recommend this trip enough! If you're thinking about going with this tour company, don't hesitate! It will be the most amazing trip!
Best safaris 2023
The beauty of traveling is found in trips, it was amazing exploring the Pearl of Africa with guide Joseph, I visit various places that is to say Queen Elizabeth where I saw all the big five, I was really amazing, I do recommend anyone to use them while exploring East Africa
Unforgottable safaris
The greatness of the trip comes with the best tour operator and the best guides, all this was found within Inspire African Safaris that made me experience the best stay in Uganda, it was all fan for my trip. I was 6am in the morning when my guide herman picked from the hotel to set off to Kabale, the 5hour drive , on my way we made several stopovers to buy fish and children, experiencing the beauty and landscape of Kabale, it really great and fan. We reached Kabale at around 3pm , At Kabale Resort,its where i got my rest and refreshing for the whole night.The following day, we woke up at 6am ,prepared and had breakfast and set off for a nature walk around the lake Bunyonyi, in the evening we had a boat cruise on lake Bunyonyi and sailed to the punishment Island. It was all fan and this will remain unforgottable.
Great primates Experience
The trip was amazing, I must say we really enjoyed the Safari.. Richard our guide was so amazing, the food was marvelous, the lodges clean and on point, some point was some minutes late but that was not a issue as it was raining almost half of our trip and we know things can get messy, but generally everything was so perfect beyond our expectations, maybe what everyone didn’t appreciate was the chimps trek at kibale, the people were many and our group was splint, some of our friends saw only 2 chimps and so high trees they couldn’t even take pictures, and others saw few chimps and it was a rainy day, anyways we experienced the rain forest though we felt bad afterwards we met some guys at the lodge who were coming from CK and they had tracked at a reserve on Budongo who saw over 30 chimps and had over 2hrs with chimps, otherwise the gorilla trek was amazing and the rest of the trip, we loved Richard’s driving skills and the constant communication, we will come back again and thank you Richard and your team at inspire
Awesome first safari adventure!
This was an incredible experience! We saw dozens of hippos and elephants, crocs, water Buffalo, water bucks, warthogs, lions, and countless types of birds. Highly recommend it!
It was such a wonderful visit with my family touring the place, we had a good time together
Lake mbuo is such a wonderful park for every tourist could wish to tour. With good and serenity area and good people, that what makes it awesome
Amazing game drive
It was such a wonderful trip I have ever had, my friends and I had the best experience they needed. The game drive we had, covered all what we wanted.
Richard took us on a 4 day Murchison Falls Safari experience, and what an experience it was. From the very beginning Richard was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing lots of interesting facts and making sure we were comfortable and happy during the trip.
We felt safe at all times during the Safari, and felt the experience was tailored to us, focusing on the animals we wanted to see. Richard was knowledgeable about the park and was able to navigate the crowds to highlight the animals we were interested in seeing. He always made sure there was plenty of water for us to stay hydrated, and we were never hungry from any of the food in the lodges we stayed in.
By the end of the 4 days we were laughing and joking, learning more about Ugandan culture, sharing our own experiences and highlighting differences from our western backgrounds. Richard was accommodating throughout and I would highly recommend Inspire African Safaris again!
Thank you so much Matt for this wonderful Review, we’re proud of ourselves and we shall always improve and make the best to be the best and leading destination operators.

Chimpanzee Experience
Trekking Chimpanzee is one of the best activities one can do while visiting the Pearl of Africa, I booked my trip in January 2023 and we was supposed to travel in May, 2023. It was a great experience, guide Richard picked me up from Entebbe International Airport on my arrival, he drove me to 7 Seasons Hotel for refreshing and for my stay for the night to prepare for the next day's journey to Kibale national park. I woke up at 5am early in the morning , I prepared myself by 6am I was through with my breakfast and guide Richard was ready to set off for our trip to Kibale for Chimpanzee trekking, my our way we made different stop overs to see and watch different amazing Ugandan people and the landscape of the Pearl of Africa, Indeed what I saw clarified that Uganda is the real Pearl of Africa. By 1pm we were in the beautiful land of Fortportal where we had lunch at Travel Inn Restaurant , after lunch we had to continue with our amazing journey to kibale national park on our journey passing through the beautiful Kibale Forest. By 5pm we had reached Kibale Forest Camp where were to rest from over the night, we were given a warm reception by the people around, we refreshed , then had supper and then guide Richard briefed about the next day's activities. In the morning we woke up at 6am prepared ourselves had breakfast and the guide Richard picked us upto the tracking center. The Rangers briefed us about what we were to follow, in the thick forest of Kibale we met chimpanzees in their habitant and the experience was really amazing. With the tour operator together with guide the trip was amazing.
Not worth it at those extortionate tourist prices
Not worth the expense to be fair. We arrived at the source and you have to pay to park, felt discriminated against and extorted with all these different prices for different people. Then you have to pay for a boat separately to take you to see the source, which to be honest is no different to a flowing fountain. I would advice you to save the money and perhaps just pay the one fee of the sightseeing boat if you go and use the Jinja sailing club round the corner. Lady at the gate needs some customer care training enhancement to be able to work with the public. Ahumuza was her name so be warned.
An Experience never to forget in Uganda
I cannot recommend Gorilla trips enough! From the very beginning in planning the trip, Joseph was extremely responsive to all my questions and very helpful in creating the perfect itinerary that was I hoped for. Our guide Herman , was just as exceptional. Herman was very knowledgeable about everything that came on my way as we were heading for the greatest Gorilla Safaris experience. Indeed I cannot regret paying my money for the Gorilla experience, because it was only fan meeting the Gorillas in their habitant enjoying their play in the Impenetrable forest. When it came to the lodges it was the greatest experience, the lodges were five star in that I found no difficult in resting in them, the African food they prepared was of first class. I cannot forget the expectional company that organized the Trip,Inspire African Safaris it's guide was very knowledgeable and he made the trip a memoriable.
Amazing people, amazing country Uganda
Everything from the start when Herman our guide picked us up from Entebbe airport, during our 3days safari trip until the end when the CEO from Inspire African Safaris office, David said farewell.. was amazing, beautiful words are not enough! We came to Uganda on the 28th June, Herman picked us up and took us to the hotel for dinner and sleepover. Beautiful gardens and delicious dinner were all meant at the hotel and this was rather than 7 seasons hotel in Entebbe. At the hotel Herman informed us about our safari plan, and all that was necessary to have successfull trip was discussed. On 29th, we wake up very early in morning, got our selves ready for breakfast, at exactly 6am we were starting our journey to Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary. On our way we made several stopovers to buy fresh fish and fruits for our enjoyment after the day. By 10am we had arrived at Zziwa Rhino to get ready for our Rhino trekking, the rangers briefed us and everyone was eager to see the Rhinos. It was a life time experience seeing the Rhinos in their homes. By 1pm we had finished the trekking and we headed to Kindergarten restaurant for lunch and some refreshments in order to embark ,so after lunch it was all set for us for Murchison falls national park, on arriving at the park, we trekked to the top of the falls which was all amazing seeing the waters fall, the we had to go to the Lodge for rest and dinner to prepare for next day game drive, the next day activities we had to wake up at 6am had breakfast and at exactly 7am our guide Herman was ready for us for the game drive, during the drive, we saw Africa's big five and his was a great experience for us, with all the organization the trip went on very well, we cannot regret exploring with Inspire African Safaris
Our safari was just amazing. Saw the big 5 -Uganda has so much to offer. Alex was a great driver and guide and nothing was too much for him. We would absolutely recommend Inspire African Safaris as everything was very well organised, communication was excellent and helped us all have an experience of a lifetime! Thanks so much.

THE BEST SAFARI EVER
I never write TripAdivsor reviews, but I cannot thank the Inspire team enough for the trip they put together for us. From the moment we reached out to Richard at Inspire, everything was absolutely incredible. He curated the most luxurious, active, and incredible trip that my girlfriend and I could have ever imagined. Richard was responsive nearly all hours of the day to answer any questions we had and worked so hard to make sure we had THE perfect trip. We literally did everything we had on our bucket list and more as Richard and the entire Inspire team wanted to make sure we had the most perfect trip. From trekking with the gorillas and doing the habituation tour with the chimpanzees to seeing the Great Migration, I still cannot believe everything the Inspire team organized for us. We also did quite a few activities that were several hours from the other and Alex and Bacardi (our 2 drivers) made the drives so seamless and easy for us. They were amazing. And the accommodations were out of this world. We stayed at some of the nicest hotels I have ever seen (Highlands, Siringit Migration Camp, Chimpundu Lodge just to name a few), and we had the best night's sleep and food at every single one. I'm so excited to go back one day and travel with the Inspire team again.
I really enjoyed the day trip with my guide. Sezibwa falls was a lovely, calming and refreshing spot and the guide there told me a lot of interesting things not only of the nature there but also of Buganda Kingdom.
My 3-day trip to Murchison and Chimpanzee trek in Budongo forest.
Overall the trip was amazing. My three-day experience in Murchison Falls was so memorable: I got to see the 4 of the big five that are present in the park (including lions and the elusive leopard), had a wonderful trip along the river Nile, and what was most unforgettable was my trek to see the chimpanzees in Budongo Forest.I really felt that Inspire Safaris put my interests as their first priority, and they really went the extra mile: Richard was always at hand to answer my queries and always responded very quickly; he managed to tailor my trip so that I got to do everything that I wanted to; my driver Isaac made a huge effort, whilst on the trip, to ensure that I had the most enjoyable experience possible; and, inspire even altered the standard itinerary so that, after the trip, I could be dropped off at a nearby town where I needed to be for work - I would definitely recommend.I would also say that I was impressed by how quickly the team at inspire were able to put the experience together: I sent an inquiry email on the Wednesday, and had my itinerary confirmed by the Friday, and I was off on the trip on the Saturday- I couldn't believe how Richard and the team were able to organise everything in such little time!However, because my trip was a little bit more tailored and organised so quickly, there was a little bit of miscommunication and misunderstanding in regards to what exactly was and wasn't included in the price. I think that if I had a final, detailed itinerary about what exactly was being included, that would have helped enormously in avoiding confusion and frustration for both sides. Despite this, my overall experience with Inspire has been very positive. Like I say, if you want to have a memorable experience with a company that really values and will tailor your experience, then I would definitely recommend Inspire safaris.
