Great Experience in Jinja! - The 1-day Jinja tour was great! Even though the morning was rainy, the trip to the Source of the Nile was a success. Our tour guide, Nasser, was knowledgeable, supportive, and very welcoming.

Thoroughly recommended. - I booked this tour blind for the morning after my arrival in Uganda from UK, and was a little apprehensive. I need not have been. Nasser arrived punctually for a 7am start with an impressive vehicle, and proved a congenial and knowledgeable companion for the day. We had sufficient time to enjoy all the main points on the itinerary, though some of the lesser ones were drive-bys unless you request a stop. Particularly impressive was the close up views of the abundant birdlife on the banks of Lake Victoria. The only downside was the gridlocked traffic on the return to Kampala, prepare for the trip to take longer than expected.

What an exciting experience - What an experience!! If you're looking for an independent (and customizable) trip to Rwanda or Uganda, look no further than Monumental expeditions and safaris. Jonan is the most responsive owner/manager you could ever hope to work with. We bundled a few tours together starting in Rwanda (Akagera & Volcanos NP) then flew to EBB for a fly in/out to Kidepo. Both guides (Kenneth & Jorum ) picked us up at designated times, modified schedules if we requested and took amazing care of us. At the last minute (literally), we decided to add a night at Murchison Falls. Jonan arranged for Jorum to drive us there (which is a grueling 6 hours) and changed our flight to EBB from a Kidepo pick up to MFNP pick up. Who does that within a 24 hour window??? While we never met Jonan in person, he communicated via WhatsAp and by phone. The most telling piece about Jonan is the fact that his guides love working for him. This speaks volumes about a boss. Thanks again the entire monumental team

I enjoyed this tour and... - I enjoyed this tour and my guide, Nassar, was friendly and informative. My only complaint was the terrible traffic that day which resulted in the trip taking 10 hours round-trip from Kampala, which I wasn’t expecting. I do recommend wearing sturdy shoes for hiking around the waterfall and getting on-off the boat at Lake Victoria.
