A great 10 day memorable Western Uganda Safari
Thank you to our tour guides Edrisa and Wellen. We had a 10 day western Uganda non stop Safari and it was such a memorable one. We did the gorilla trekking, chimpanzee trekking,the national parks,Sempaya hotsprings,the breathtaking Murchison falls,had spectacular views of most of the crater lakes and concluded it all with the Rhinos at ZZiwa Sanctuary. The planning was curated to fit our needs and everywhere we stayed and visited was perfect. Thank you.

Choose African Finfoot for your once-in-a-lifetime trip
Traveling solo through Africa can be intimidating, but African Finfoot Safaris made it easy. In fact, my trepidation seems silly in hindsight. The experience was nothing but great from the beginning. Charles greeted me in Kigali with warmth and a much needed smile after a night of airport hopping alone. I was initially hesitant to visit the genocide museum and memorial given the subject matter and my desire for an escapist sort of vacation, but trusted African Finfoot Safari’s judgment as I assumed that a tour company wouldn’t take tourists to an undesirable location. I’m glad I followed their recommended itinerary. It was moving and I feel that anyone with the ability to visit should do so. The gorilla trek in Bwindi is just as amazing as one would imagine. Another relief came when I learned that the hike doesn’t come with the difficulty level that comes to mind with the US-definition of “trek.” Plus, Charles had my back and knew I didn’t want to hike all day, so got me into the mid-level hiking group. Be sure to bring $20 USD to hire a porter. You will thank me for this piece of advice if you plan on taking a backpack containing a camera, lunch, water, and mosquito repellent. Not only that, but you’re supporting local people doing the work to protect a unique ecosystem on behalf of all of us given there’s no where else like it on earth. Often times, it’s the unexpected that surprises and delights. This was the case during my visit to meet the Pygmy people. I appreciate the way they kindly and enthusiastically welcomed me. They shared their culture and traditions, even though I’m guessing they end up performing for many tourists. Consider bringing some Ugandan Schillings to purchase their hand-made crafts rather than buying from someone else. It’s expensive flying halfway around the world. Sending what can feel like a large sum of money to people that you don’t know that are several continents away can be scary. If you choose to do it, definitely consider African Finfoot. They’re a legitimate company consisting of amiable people. It felt like they had my best interest in mind during my entire trip. And, definitely request Charles. He’s a good guy with a great sense of humor with the hidden talent of being great with a camera phone. One last piece of advice… the particular lodge where I stayed did not have internet or cell service. The tour company gave me a heads-up but I chose that lodge anyway. It was beautifully situated on the edge of Bwindi Forest (probably closer than any other lodge) and I was able to see wildlife every evening as a result. There were times when I was grateful to be off the grid, but it felt inconvenient other times. Listen to the tour company if they share this tidbit with you.

Epic adventure!
We had a 5 day epic trip to Kibale National park and Queen Elizabeth( Q.E) with the amazing, reliable and hospitable team led by Edrisa. Our trip was well organised and reasonably priced with best accomodation and meals. The long drive in the QE National park and wildly photos of each animal was the most memorable for me. Everything was on time and all activities on the itinerary were enjoyed as promised. I cant wait for my next trip in December

Fun and knowledgable tour guide!
We really enjoyed our 3 day safari to Murchison Falls National Park. Our tour guide Charles was super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about animals. He answered all our questions about the animals and then some! A reliable and great service, and must do activity! Great for couples and groups.

More than just a trip
It was a trip to remember in the endless plains of Serengeti conservancy. I look forward to coming back for a longer safari expedition with African finfoot safaris.

Best safari experience in Uganda and Rwanda
We planned our adventure with this amazing tour company and all we had just exceeded our expectations. Edrisa who was as well our driver guide made sure he arranged everything as we specified and all we can say is he was so superb and very friendly throughout the safari. This is without forgetting his love and knowledge about wildlife and nature across Uganda and Rwanda. Looking for a trusted company to arrange your safari, African Finfoot Safaris has got all the ticks. We can't wait for the next summer to plan our next adventure with African Finfoot Safaris this time for wildebeest migration .
