Lulu Safaris Gorilla Trek and More - What can I say about Lulu Safaris and my wonderful guide Smith:
Truly some of the best days of my life creating amazing memories. From the beginning Lulu Safaris was extremely flexible on my last minute scheduling (3 days in advance). Smith, my guide, picked me up from my hotel and gave me a wonderful tour of Kigali before heading to the mountains. Smith catered to my every need, stopping to take pictures wherever I desired and answering every one of my questions. Smith is extremely knowledgeable about Rwanda and Uganda and his enthusiasm and humility is contagious. Every leg of the journey Smith had friends to make the experience even more enjoyable. Getting to learn about the culture and hang out with locals was so rewarding. Seeing the gorillas and golden monkeys so close and in such great numbers exceeded my expectations. Every lodge I stayed at was 5 star accommodation and service. I cannot recommend Lulu Safaris enough and I most certainly will be back for more adventures. Thank you so much Smith and Lulu Safaris for an unforgettable experience.

Great gorilla trekking experience - We had 4 days we Lulu Safari with Samuel as our guide and driver. Light Golden Monkey and adventurous Gorillas. Samuel was great. He was caring about us constantly. It was quite a difficult drive from Bwindi to Buyoni lake due to heavy rain, but he managed it perfectly. I definitely recommend them for your safari’s.

Roads were crazy ... had a great driver though. - A trip to remember. Thank goodness for our great driver, SMITH, he was amazing. For such a young man he certainly knew the roads and got us there through thick and thin.
He always had a smile.
Needed a rain jacket and got one for me.
Don't hesitate to do this tour with him.
Felt at ease and was a tour of a lifetime.

Amazing and incredible! - This was the most amazing trip I have ever been on. Lulu Safaris is really great. We were picked up by Samuel from our hotel in Entebbe and returned at the end to Kigali airport Rwanda. Bush lodge was fantastic overlooking river with Hippos and close to Queen Elizabeth park. Samuel is a great guide and a really good driver. So many beautiful animals. We are 2 women in our 60's and always felt very safe and comfortable. Bwindi was just amazing and Bweeza lodge is very close and comfortable. The staff there are so nice and pampered us thoroughly! We were very fortunate (I think influenced by Samuel) that we were assigned to a family of gorillas that were very very close so not too much hiking although we did follow the gorillas as they moved around. I do recommend hiring porters to help you climb and carry pack. Watching these beautiful creatures is awe inspiring. I highly recommend Lulu and especially Samuel for a wonderful trip to Uganda!
Hint: Bring lots of candy for children, lots!

Solo trip Uganda - Rwanda for female - I’d like to thank luku safaris for the itinerary and the professionalism of your company, I really expect your business to grow and grow because you deserve it, everything that I got to live was a dream and specially because of Derrick. I cannot compliment him enough, but he is a talent and if he was Brazilian I’d still him to work for my company.
But besides being a great professional he has an amazing heart and is a very good person, which is something that matters the most and I know you know it. I hope that he has a bright future on your company because I’ll be coming back soon enough to Uganda and I’d like to see how he grew on his job.
Thank you very much again man and if you ever need referrals to somebody that may be insecure about closing with you, please feel free to share my social media contacts

a trip full of once in a lifetime experiences - From the time I booked the tour, Elvis kept me informed of the plans and oversaw that everything ran smoothly.
The tour itself was amazing, from Kigali, to being amongst the golden monkeys and gorillas. It was breathtaking.
The accommodations were comfortable and welcoming.
The whole experience was made more fun by my guide: Derrick and driver: Smith. Both were enthusiastic, entertaining, knowledgeable, and happy to incorporate changes to the itinerary when possible.

Uganda Mountain Gorillas - Lulu Safaris custom built a 5-day tour for us. One day with Golden Monkeys in Rwanda and two days of Gorilla trekking in Uganda. Herbert was our guide and he was wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about him. Such a beautiful country. We were there in dry season and had zero issues with bugs. Didn;t need gloves, but boot gators were a good idea. Hotels were fine, food was hit or miss, but our guide was fantastic - I learned so much. Three pieces of advice for visitors; 1) buy candy (lollipops?) to give to kids along the way. 2) take children's books to donate to schools. We visited a local Batwa village outside of Bwindi and wish we had prepared better with donations. 3) because we flew in and out of Rwanda and then drove across the border to Uganda, be sure and apply for a multi-entry visa.

Incredible experience with beautiful gorillas and wonderful guides - We had an incredible time with the Lulu's team. They were very professional, responsive, and high-energy (our driver Charles is the real King Charles!). We had a big group (14 people) and they were able to accommodate all of us.
On the trip itself, what an amazing experience! We saw golden monkeys and spent a day on beautiful Lake Bunyonyi but the highlight was definitely the mountain gorillas. I will never forget being so close to those beautiful creatures and it was all because of the Lulu's team. We cannot recommend them enough!
