Very successful, affordable and well organized tour to Uganda August 2024. If you are looking for well-organized and amazing safari experience in Uganda and Ruanda, I highly recommend Wide Birding Eco Tours and their fantastic guide we had Mr. Godfrey. He is passionate about his work, and he did everything he could to make sure we got the best experience possible. Godfrey is a dedicated professional with a lot of information and knowledge about wildlife, the history of Uganda and the different tribes. He is amazing at birdwatching and has unbelievable knowledge about birds. We had great communication with him, he was flexible and always attentive to our needs.

My journey to the Mbamba Swamp to see the elusive Shoebill stork turned into an unforgettable adventure, thanks to our guide, Godfrey and Your Company. Even before reaching our main destination, Godfrey’s expertise shone through. He has an extraordinary ability to spot and identify a vast array of birds, sharing fascinating insights about each one. His enthusiasm for ornithology is contagious, making the entire trip educational and thoroughly enjoyable.

Godfrey possesses a unique and magical skill – it’s as if he can communicate with the birds themselves. This remarkable talent not only enhanced our birdwatching experience but also deepened our appreciation for these incredible creatures and their habitats.

Throughout the trip, Godfrey was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about wildlife conservation. His guidance made the elusive Shoebill sighting an awe-inspiring moment we’ll always treasure. If you’re a bird lover or just someone who appreciates nature, I can’t recommend Godfrey and his company (Wide Birding Uganda Tours) highly enough.

We had the most effective family tour with Wide Birding Eco Tours, it really offers classic tour plans and top notch guides and drivers. Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our guide Godfrey and our gulet crew truly cared about us, both the kids and adults, and did their best to make this trip memorable. For our well-traveled children (aged 9 and 6) this definitely has become the most eye-opening, adventurous, and stunning journey of their life - something they will remember, draw upon, and cherish for many years to come. For adults, we were pleasantly surprised by the diversity of our trip from Bird Knowledge and cultural sites to the Markets in Kampala to talks on board of our wonderful lake Bunyonyi and Kazinga channel from ever-changing and filled with surprises meals offered on board to culinary
