Nice people, wonderful Uganda round trip,

04-Apr-2023

From the first contact, the company tryed to fullfill our wishes 100%. Roger, the driver was allways carefull and explained us lots of things about politics, economics and social life in this beautifull country. Over all, he knows everything about flora aud fauna. He spotted all the animals , so we could really see the "big five" during our journey. Jessie, the cute tour operator from verdoro safaris accompanied us for the most of the trip and organised all our wishes immediately and perfect. Thanks to the two of them we spend interesting, marvellous days in Uganda. We can really recommend the tour organiser verdoro safaris.

Patient during the planning stage and excellent guide during the safari.

16-Oct-2023

During the planning stages Verdoro Safaris was very helpful with setting up the routes and activities during the safari. The guide we had was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife as well as general questions we had. When the weather was less than great there were alternatives provided from which we could choose. The accommodations they had us in were great and very close to the parks and activities. The vehicle was well maintained and comfortable. We were able to see almost everything that we wanted to see and the only misses were due to weather or just nature not cooperating. Would highly recommend.

Bertrand
