Uganda Safari & Queen Elizabeth national park

18-Sep-2019

have travelled with Mr. Bosco to Queen Elizabeth national park for 2 days. Mr. Bosco is very honest and reliable person. There was minor delay on his side before departure, but he offered to return my prepayment completely. It was not a problem, and I waited for him. In the process of safari trip, we couldn't find predators (you know seeing predators is like a lottery). And that's why Mr. Bosco extended our 2 day trip for several hours to another side of Kazinga Channel, although it was not agreed in advance. It was very nice from his side.

We had a great time with Bosco and our tour. He is very knowledgable and I would highly recommend this! Great to support a local person who has worked very hard to start a business in Fort Portal! Safe, Fun, an excellent guide!

Wonderful!

I had a really lovely time going with Enchanted Uganda Safaris. Our guide, Bosco, did everything he could to ensure that we had an amazing time. He was very knowledgeable about everyhing that we encountered. The park in itself, Murchison, was amazing and I would recommend

Queen Elisabeth and Lake Burro National Park

I had the most amazing trip with Bosco who is the kindest guide, knows all about the animals and where to seek for them. He made me feel at ease, was flexible, he helped me and answered all my questions and made me laugh a lot. The accommodations during the tour were also very nice and comfortable. If I would take another tour in Uganda, this company would be first I would consider and I can recommend the company and especially Bosco to anyone travelling through Uganda.

Uganda Safari+Murchison Falls game drive + waterfall trek + rhino tracking

26-Oct-2017

Bosco is a professional businessman full of knowledge about Uganda, Fort Portal, and nature. And most of all he's very kind and entertaining, a joy to be around for the three days we were together. He drove us to Murchison falls safari park, and although the road there was not good (very bumpy) and a long drive (10 hours), the whole weekend made it all worth it. We slept in furnished tents on the first night and felt close to nature then. The second day we did game drive, a river cruise on the Nile, and a trek to the beautiful Murchison Falls. Even with just this day, it would still be the best experience. We got to see lions, hyenas hunting, giraffes, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and much more. And on the third day, we woke up early to go to the rhino tracking. We immediately saw two and then a handful more later. We were very close, it was amazing.

Gorilla Trek

01-Feb-2019

I had a wonderful Gorilla Trek in Rushaga (Bwindi Forest) using Enchanted Uganda Safaris with Bosco. Bosco picked me up in Kampala, drove me safely to Bwindi, and arranged accommodations at an awesome place called Rushaga Gorilla camp. Even though it was the "budget" option the room was quite comfortable, had hot running water for showering and the food was great. The dinner and lunch were at an extra cost but both were very reasonably priced. I got quotes from several different safari companies, and Enchanted Uganda Safaris had by far the best price
