It was a great company to book the tour for Murchison Falls NP. All we decided was great and well performed. Me and my girlfriend is really satisfied about this trip, she is Ugandian but have never seen these animals in the wild. I'm just sorry to say that the driver hadn't read our itenary so we almost missed the chimpanzee tour since it was booked at 2 pm and we arrived by 4 pm. To see chimps in their forest was a nice experience. The day after we went to see the safari animals and that was great. The boat trip on the Nile was great as well. All in all it was a great trip Thanks for it
