What Our Clients Say
EXCELLENT Based on 30 reviews Posted on Arnold SVerified Great experience Our Tour guide Kelly was respectful, fun and very understanding overall the experience was one of a kind, it gives you a sense of freedom and discovery, I recommend this trip to everyonePosted on Karl MVerified Exceptional East African Road Trip with Usoke :D My friend and I booked an 11 day journey across East Africa with Usoke Explorers from another friend's recommendation, and I am here to report that it was exceptional! We traveled through Tanzania (Ngorongoro, Serengeti), Kenya (Masai Mara), Uganda (Sipi Falls, Kampala, and Bwindi Gorilla trekking), and Rwanda (Kigali), and we loved it. On our safaris, we saw so many animals: lion families, elephants chasing hippos, a leopard, families of cheetahs, and much much more. We went through tours of various communities or cities as we traveled, and our guides Andrew, Medadi, Washington, and Moses all taught us different things, gave us unique views and experiences as we traveled. They were from different countries too, and I love that Usoke (a Ugandan company) values finding local guides for each different region who know the areas, people, and places to go, instead of it just being a single person. Andrew provided amazing service for us through the whole trip, and when things were going sideways behind the scenes (literally one of our lodges partially burnt down before we arrived), he was ahead of the game and already planned a new place for us. My friend and I could feel how much he cared to make our experience exceptional, and he was funny, honest, and kind to everyone. We had a mix of budget and midrange accommodation, and experienced some incredible places that were well worth the parts with higher price, especially like the lodge Serengeti Bush Camp - Simba, and Bweza Gorilla Lodge outside Bwindi Inpenetrable National Park. We had air conditioned vehicles, even one with wifi in Uganda which was nice because of the long road trip we had. BTW, they offer all sorts of options, from private tours, budget to luxury for small or large groups, so if you need it, they can make it happen. I'd totally book with them when I go again.Posted on Resort42995892780Verified My first Road Trip. Andrew gave us the best treatment when I went to Uganda in April. First, his apartments are clean and well serviced. Fast internet and he was always in touch to make sure everything was fine. Secondly, he gave us the best truck for our safari tour to Fort Portal and The National park and honestly, apart from the price being slightly high, everything went well. I appreciate his services.Posted on sarah jVerified Absolutely Fabulous East Africa Tour Experience! Highly recommend! My boyfriend and I traveled with Usoke Explorers through Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. We had a fabulous experience with Usoke Explorers, in particular its founder and owner, Andrew. Before our trip, he spent a lot of time working on our itinerary and adjusting it to our needs and desires, even significantly cutting costs for us wherever he could. On the trip, he made us feel like family right from the start; we were always laughing and having fun. Additionally, Andrew knew sooo much about the various cultures, villages, parks, and animals and shared with us a lot of his knowledge. It was so clear that Andrew loves what he does. In addition to Andrew, the other local guides and drivers that took us on our Safaris and drove us all day from place to place were ALL fabulous. Steven who drove us for a couple days in Tanzania was really kind, knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Medad, who was our guide on the Tanzania safaris was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, he was so thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable, and passionate, and proactive; you didn’t have to ask him to move closer or get a better view of the animals, he just did it and he always knew where to find the hard to spot animals. Next, Washington was our driver and guide in Kenya. He was very fun to be with, always joking around but also teaching us so much about Kenya and the various cultures and animals within it. We greatly enjoyed our time with him and felt we learned a lot. Finally, Allen drove 8 hours from Kampala to meet us with the car at the Ugandan border only to take the public bus back that night as we continued onto Sipi Falls, we weren’t with him for long but we enjoyed the time we spent with him and are so grateful for his time and help in ensuring a smooth journey for us. Overall, Andrew and his team catered to our every need, including calling hotels ahead to let them know my food allergies and ensuring we were comfortable and happy with our beds and showers.Andrew can take you anywhere and do pretty much anything in East Africa for a good price! We were in great hands and I can’t recommend Andrew and his team enough!Posted on Abiel WVerified Best safari trip ever It was an amazing 2 day trip to see everything nature had to offer at Murchison park.Awesome landscapes and animals along with Andrew who is one of the best tour guides, always depositing knowledge. Can't wait to come back, 11/10 if I could!Posted on NEHA GADIAVerified Mesmerizing African wild life adventure at UGANDA (The pearl of Africa) We had planned a 10 days tour of Uganda which was quite a grueling task as there was a lot of traveling from one spot to the other. Little did we know that all our misconceptions about traveling to Africa will turn into an unforgettable adventure. Our guide Mr. Andrew from Usoke explorers familiarized us with every story of Uganda , be it people , food or animals . Andrew is an amicable person , a skilled driver and a very friendly and caring guide who made this hop on hop off journey and long road travels so much fun that we wished it would never end. I recommend everyone to explore Uganda which is like a pearl having innumerable surprises. The people , the wild life and organic food has touched our souls so much so that we want to go there again . It not only relaxed our minds but opened our eyes to a world so unique in every way. All this was possible due to the support af Usoke explorers team . If ever you go to Uganda make sure you take the Usoke explorers on board.Posted on Nakshatra PVerified Very good service This was the best trip of my life, all thanks to Andrew, who made sure we to keep us in peace of mind and recommend the best lodges. He always responded to all our queries and had a wealth of information regarding the wildlife, culture and environment of Uganda. Highly recommend Usoke Explorers to anyone looking to tour east Africa. 👌Posted on Catherine NVerified *The safari of a lifetime!* Unforgettable I honestly don’t even know where to begin — this safari experience was beyond anything I ever imagined, all thanks to usoke Explorers . From the moment we arrived,he was very timely and everything was handled with such care and attention to detail. We felt completely taken care of, yet still had the freedom to soak in every magical moment.Our guide Andrew was absolutely phenomenal — deeply knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems, and just a joy to be around. You could tell he truly loved what he did, and that passion was contagious. He spotted animals we never would’ve seen on our own and shared fascinating insights that brought every scene to life.Watching all the big five Seeing lions watching,watching the leopards in the trees, watching elephants roam freely, and catching a sunset over the savannah — it was all surreal. The game drives were well-paced and thoughtfully planned. Every day brought new surprises, and we never felt rushed. Just when we thought we’d seen it all, something new would take our breath away for example a hippo walking during the day light on an sunny morning🫢Waking up to the sounds of the bush and falling asleep under a sky full of stars… it was truly magical. Even the meals were amazing and the guides recommendations were perfect— fresh, local, and delicious.This wasn’t just a vacation — it was a dream come true. If you’re thinking of going on safari, do it with this company. They turned a safari bucket list trip into an unforgettable adventure, and I would choose Usoke explorers again.Posted on perez MVerified My Fort Portal Experience with Usoke I had a wonderful experience with Usoke Explores!
