I had an amazing time! In... - I had an amazing time! In just one day we visited the forest, waterfall and the source of the Nile. Everything was well organised and we didn't feel pressed for time. In each place, we were accompanied by a different local guide. Yusuf, the driver, is friendly, knowledgeable and very organised. Highly recommended!

An Awesome Experience of the River Nile day tour - I was recommended by friends in Florida to have Yusuf as my tour guide. I must say he's an excellent guide, a very knowledgeable, patient, and pleasant person. I was very satisfied with his comprehension and expertise of what he does. I booked another tour with him to the Uganda Equator the following day. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a tour guide while in Kampala.

Great Experience - Yusuf is an excellent guide—knowledgeable, helpful, and incredibly flexible. He went out of his way to accommodate my request for bungee jumping, making the experience even more thrilling. Despite my tight schedule, he efficiently covered multiple attractions in a single day, ensuring I made the most of my trip. I truly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend him to others!

Magical feeling at the source of Nile - Yesterday I went on a tour to Jinja to see the source of the river Nile. I went with my guide Yusuf and he was absolutely amazing. On the way to Jinja we stopped for about one hour walk in the tropical forests and this walk was very nice. Then we got to Jinja and to the place from where the tour boat starts. The views at Lake Victoria are breathtaking. So magnificent and beautiful, I cannot describe it with words. The boat ride is peaceful, we saw a lot of birds, and to be at the source of the longest river, see where it starts already so powerful, and to be able to touch the water right there, for me it was a magical feeling. I want to thank Yusuf again for this wonderful trip. Thank you Pavel
