Transformative Uganda & Rwanda: 10-Day Private Gorilla Safari

I had travelled with scb tours and travel years back when Solomon was still in charge and we decided to book their 25 day East African trip though we chose just 3 countries that’s Rwanda ,kenya and tanzania plus Zanzibar island ,we left uganda because we had visited it years Back. We’re a couple who travel on budget budget basis and we would say scb tours delivered. We did book our trip a year in advance and all payments were made to hotels and guides in the 2 respective countries The Serengeti game drive experience was so wonderful and not forgetting the one in Masai Mara in kenya

We booked this trip 1 year in advance with scb tours and travel and they assigned us with guides and map finders in Rwanda ,Tanzania,kenya and we had to drive our own safari in Uganda ,as we did hire our troopy Landcruiser and enjoy the terrain and forests of the pearl of Africa Joanne handled our trip remotely and she also managed to get us or hire for us a Landcruiser in Uganda on our behalf As one of the top managers is somewhere locked up in Botswana due to claims from other tourists but that didn’t stop us from enjoying every minute of our hard earned vacation We started our trip from kenya ,visited nairobi national park ,tsavo east ,Amboseli and later Masai mara ,we crossed to Tanzania through the Asabania border to seregenti ,ngorongoro and taragire then we later on got to stone city in Zanzibar and enjoyed all the breeze We did trek gorillas and golden monkeys from Rwanda ,the team at scb tours secured our permits in advance ,visited the twin lakes tenn we crosssed to Uganda and got our rental car from Kisoro and started our self drive with batwa trails in mgahinga ,visited lake Bunyonyi and then proceeded to queen Elizabeth We trekked chimpanzees from kibale forest and also did a Guided village tour and wetlands photography in bigodi We ended our trip with Murchison falls Np and the rhino treks at ziwa rhino sanctuary in Uganda Amidst thier struggles,will still recommend scb tours and travel to now budget trekkers ,backpackers ,overlanders and all kinds of tourists

The 25 day luxury Eastafrican safari was one of my best experiences ever ,I’m travel agent and have visited various countries in Africa such as Namibia ,Botswana ,Southafrica ,Zimbabwe among others but I would say East African countries will forever be the best destinations from chimpanzees and gorilla trekking in Uganda ,golden monkeys in Rwanda were so memorable. After the trip in Uganda and Rwanda I headed to kenya and I started on on another adventure still accompanied by guide Alex from scb tours and travel ,did the cultural Masai community tours and also had a longer game drive in Masai mara were hyenas ,cheetahs among others were spotted Later left for Tanzania and Zanzibar Island visited Serengeti ,ngorongor craters ,lake Manyara and also enjoyed the oldest city in Africa stone city in Zanzibar Scb tours and travel is one of the best luxury companies in Africa ,will definitely recommend

i would say it has been a pleasure to travel with scb tours and travel on another trip ,a short 6 day trip in tanzania previously we did a 15 day trip in uganda with the same informed and good english speaking guides just different locations.i and my wife visited arusha park ,serengenti and ngorongoro and we passed by lake manyara on our way back to the airport

We booked a 25 day safari with scb tours and travel ,I would say everything was planned well ,nice hotels at the island with great views ,snorkeling,mafia island among others were so interesting, When it comes to wildlife,we spotted the big 5 encountered lions hunting a buffalo among others I will recommend scb TOURs and travel ,

The 15 day join a group uganda safari was a trip of a lifetime,been to various trips and safaris in Africa such Botswana ,Namibia,Eygpt ,Zimbabwe ,South Africa ,Rwanda ,kenya & Tanzania but I would say uganda is really the pearl of Africa . Our journey started with the capital city (Kampala sightseeing) visited different holy places ,cultural heritage sites ,slums ,markets ,congested down town ,I majorly liked the bike riding in the city center .After we did visit the longest river in the world that’s river Nile ,boat ride along it ,white water rafting ,quad biking among others ,the spectacular falls in the east ,that’s sipi falls ,coffee tours and community tours in the north where we did visit the Karamoja their grass thatcher houses ,the big herds of cattle and the way of living is amazing Leopards and lions spotted in both Kidepo and murchison falls plus all sorts of giraffes ,elephants ,buffalos,then the rhinos at rhino sanctuary,we did trek chimpanzees at Kibale and also had a community drive ,the twin lakes in Queen Elizabeth plus the trees climbing lions were also great Gorillas were the main attractions,it was my first time encounter with them ,watching babies play with huge silver backs ,the way they behave around us people is incredible We really enjoyed our stay in uganda and I would recommend scb tours and travel to the rest of the world.

SCB Tours really made our trip and ensured the best possible gorilla tracking experience my friend and I could have wished for. Solomons communication was great on the weeks leading up to our trip and was always on hand to answer any questions and provided great advice which helped us In Further planning our journey around East Africa. Solomon handled everything efficiently including the crossing of the boarder from rwanda to uganda, took us tracking and then made sure we reached our next destination Entebbe safely and on time. Big thanks to everybody at SCB Tours including Moses who was our amazing driver.

Where do I even start. My guide and driver (Solomon and Abraham) were some of the best people I've met in my life. They really made my life long dream of visiting Africa the most memorable and magical experience imaginable. By the end of my 10 day tour with them it didn't feel like a tour but more like really good friends experiencing all that Uganda and Rwanda had to offer. While providing the best service and fulfilling any needs that I had. When I my first met them, they were extremely professional and by the book, but as they observed my interests and personality they catered their service to fit my interests and made the journey personalized to me. Which, I think, really sets them apart from other tour companies. They showed me all the beautiful culture and lifestyle of their home land and every moment was a moment to remember. Watching the sunrise in the Ugandan savannah while hyenas walk by, pulling up a few meters beside a family of African Elephants, watching the babies learn to use their trunks, having a baby mountain gorilla try to pound its chest at you and lose balance, watch hippos fight on the Kazinga channel, a mother lion cleaning its cubs, hearing an entire forest begin howling as chimps scream from the forest floor and tree tops, and watching the sunset at Murchison falls and other beautiful moments like that were memories made to last forever. Solomon and Abraham weren't there to fill out a simple checklist of activities, but really made each of those activities so special and turned it into a real experience. They did everything in their power to make my experience, the best experience possible. For the price I paid, the accommodations and food were amazing. Of course it wasn't a luxury package but I couldn't have asked for better amenities given the price I paid. I will remember this trip for the rest of my life, and those 2 gentlemen made that happen for me. Will recommend SCB Tours and Travel to everyone I know travelling to Uganda and surrounding countries.

What an amazing trip it was. Fun filled with numerous activities done. I can't say more. Go out there experience it for yourself. Big up SCB u filled my dream destination trip. All 4 of u really enjoyed, I will come again next year. ##@gracemary

The trip was well prepared, gorilla and chimps permits bought early enough and we did enjoy every bit of the well routed trip from Kampala city tour ,to jinja ,sipi falls ,we did explore the Karamoja culture to rhino tracking then Kibale made it easier from the Bigodi wetland nature walk to chimpanzee tracking them lions were spotted at queen Elizabeth national park to the ishasha tree climbing lions then we did track our gorillas from ruhija sector bwindi national park ,place was so cold ,the highlights of the trip were the countless lions spotted both at queen Elizabeth and Murchison falls national park ,rhinos at Ziwa ,the hotels or lodges booked were on point ,we enjoyed the Ugandan staple food called Rolex actually the one on the streets is more sweeter and nicer then ones served in hotels ,the car was so comfortable.it enabled us rest well due to long distances between different locations,the shortcuts taken to enable us not miss any listed activity,All thanks goes to the team at scb tours and travel I will definitely recommend your company services to other travelers
