3 days safari to Murchison Falls - We did a 3 days Murchison Falls tour with 6 of our friends (and Huza as our driver). With and early morning pickup in Entebbe. It's a long drive but it was definitely worth it. With a very nice stop at the Falls and multiple game drives and a boat tour. As we had some custom demands we asked for some changes and they all could me met. So we defenitly recommend this tour company.

Great trip to Murchison falls - Adam was a fantastic safari guide. He drove really well, kept everything completely hassle-free, and was consistently polite. His good connections with other guides meant we got great tips on animal locations. Because of that, we successfully saw everything we were hoping for, including a leopard and a lion. You can't ask for more from a guide. Highly recommended.

Viewing Uganda from the wildlife is more than worthwhile! - Really one of the most beautiful experiences here in Uganda! Super many animals seen, scenically incredibly beautiful and the tour guide Adam still enjoys his profession after all these years of experience! The money was definitely worth it to us.

African Adventure Travellers 3-Day Murchison Falls is outstanding and a great way to see part of Uganda and its wildlife - We selected African Adventure Travellers safari company for the three-day safari to Murchison Falls in October 2025. The program they offered matched our desires in Uganda. Our guide/driver, Huzaima was very skilled and knowledgeable regarding the wildlife and cultural facts during our tour. The safari vehicle was comfortable and well maintained. With his skills Huzaima was able the position the vehicle for the perfect wildlife photos. The rhino sanctuary was an add-on that we accepted and it was an outstanding addition to the tour. I highly recommend this company and the tours they offer based on what we experienced during the tour. The accommodations and meals were exceptionable. Stoney W.

Magical, Memorable Safari - We did the 3-day safari to Murchison Falls with Eddie from African Adventures as our guide, assisted by Tom. The tour was brilliant. Eddie could not have been a better guide. His knowledge of the wildlife was immense, and he knew the answer to any questions we asked. He was always happy to let us influence the pace ― savouring the moment to observe the creatures as well as to take photos for as long as we wished. He was very patient with the number of photos and videos we took! Eddie was flexible and keen to tailor the agenda to our particular interests and needs. We felt we were in safe hands. The whole tour was well organised with suitable meal stops, and the lodge and meals we had there were also of good quality. We saw an incredible number and variety of wildlife and the inclusion of a long river trip was excellent and balanced what we saw in the savannah. We spotted a leopard! It was a magical moment thanks to Eddie’s eagle eyes and well developed instinct. He explained to us how by carefully listening to and watching the birds he senses the whereabouts of the animals. Seeing the mighty Murchison Falls was the perfect way to end our safari. The day after Eddie had dropped us in Entebbe at the end of the trip, we realised we had left our binoculars in his van! We contacted him and he swiftly took the trouble to find a reliable boda driver to deliver them to us. We were hugely relieved to be reunited with the binoculars at our hotel in good time before departing Uganda. We can thoroughly recommend this tour. Thank you, Eddie and African Adventures for a most memorable experience. Catherine, John and Rachel

Unforgettable! - My cousin and I had an absolutely unforgettable 3-day safari in Murchison Falls, and I cannot recommend it enough. From the very beginning, our guide Augustine made the trip truly special. He was very friendly and sociable, while also being deeply knowledgeable about the park, the wildlife, and Uganda in general. Our experience included a visit to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where we got to see rhinos up close on foot – a truly magical experience. We also visited the mighty Murchison Falls - an impressive, breathtaking natural wonder, and went on both game drives and a boat safari on the Nile. We saw a wide variety of animals and had some really close encounters too. The landscape was simply stunning. We stayed at Bar Lyec, which was a perfect choice. The lodge is set in beautiful surroundings close to the Nile and provided a calm and scenic base for our adventure. What stood out most was the extreme hospitality we received – the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and cared for. They even insisted on escorting us from the restaurant to our room when it was dark because there was a chance of elephants and hippos in the area at night! All in all, it was a perfect trip filled with natural beauty, memorable wildlife encounters, great company, and genuine Ugandan warmth. A big thank you to Augustine and everyone at Bar Lyec for making this experience one we will always treasure. A warm recommendation to use African Adventure Travellers.

The Murchison Falls Safari was great! - We had a great 3-day safari to Murchison Falls! Our guides Augustine and Robert were friendly, nice and very competent. Through them we have received very interesting information about customs and customs in Uganda! They planned everything perfectly around the rainy seasons so we could enjoy all the highlights. We have seen an incredible number of animals, some very close: More than 50 elephants, some with super cute babies, more than 100 giraffes, hippos, lions (that's what Augustine went off track for! It was totally fascinating!) Wild boars, baboons, buffaloes, small ungulates, vultures, hyenas, various other monkeys and birds ... The park was also a dream in terms of landscape! The supply and accommodation was great for us! Thank you Augustine and Robert for the great experience!

Beautiful wildlife, great views, and amazing vibes! - We had a great time! The three day tour (game drives + activities) was perfectly planned, and our guide Augustine was amazing! We really appreciated his professionalism, expertise, and great mood. The Bar Lyec lodge is lovely, and the views on the Nile are simply amazing. I fully recommend this trip to anyone seeking an authentic Ugandan experience!
