Everything was superb, quite an experience to die for,great thanks goes to my group guide Harriet she was nice and comfortable to be around Upcountry Safaris Ug is home away from home great work there.Posted on King MelvinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have followed Upcountry for a while and always saw the tours they promote on their pages, but this weekend I finally joined their road trip to Murchison and honestly, I did not expect it to be that much fun. We get so buried in work that we forget how good it feels to step out and do something for ourselves. Upcountry curates affordable trips all over the country and has somehow built a loyal community. Almost everyone on the trip knew each other. I think the new faces were maybe thirty percent of the group, which says a lot about the trust they have earned. Ours was a budget road trip to Murchison Falls and we paid UShs 150,000, but at the end of the trip, I felt like the experience was worth a lot more. If you have been thinking about exploring the country, start by following them on social media. They post many trips. Pick what fits your mood and go have fun. You will thank yourself.Posted on Matovu RichardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for a superb tour.

From the very beginning, everything was well-organized and professionally handled. The team was warm, friendly, and always ready to help with anything I needed throughout the trip. What stood out the most to me was their attention to detail and the way they made sure every part of the journey was comfortable and memorable. The guides were very knowledgeable, not just about the destinations but also about the culture, wildlife, and history, which made the trip even more special. Every activity was well-planned, and I truly appreciated how they combined adventure with relaxation. The experience felt personalized, and I could tell they genuinely care about their clients’ happiness. I would definitely recommend Upcountry Safaris Uganda to anyone looking for an unforgettable travel experience. They go above and beyond, and I look forward to traveling with them again in the future.Posted on Kulsum NakirandaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
