I and Lizzie (my wife) did the 18 Day Explore Uganda Safari in July 2023 and we enjoyed every second of it. We visited Murchison Falls NP, Kibale Forest NP, Bwindi NP, Queen Elizabeth National Park, did the Trekking of Gorillas at Bwindi and Chimpanzee at Kibale National Park. We visited the amazing Sipi Falls and Lake Bunyonyi too The communication with Joseph beforehand was wonderful and he always answered us promptly. The 4x4 comfortable safari vans and serene accommodation facilities were all exceptional. Rushaga Gorilla Camp and Buffalo Safari Lodge were amazing accommodation facilities and we thank Joseph for choosing quality facilities Our guide Baker made it a memorable Experience to last and we can highly recommend him to show you beautiful Uganda. He took great care of us and let us have a lot of time with the animals we encountered. We felt safe and very welcome during our entire stay and are already looking forward to coming back. Thank you Arcadia Safaris for this memorable holiday. I strongly recommend Arcadia Safaris for anyone with Safari plans in Uganda and Africa at large. See you Arcadia soon
