Chris our driver/guide was fantastic throughout the safari. He was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable about Uganda's wildlife and culture, and he made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment.

We highly recommend Emerald of Africa Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari in Uganda.Posted on Deus124Verified Incredible 6 Days of our Uganda Safari I Recently toured Uganda with Emerald of Africa Safaris and surely everything was 10/10. Bob was very Good and communication with immediate responses and good information. He helped us choose the best accommodation and activities. Our Guide, Lucky was very professional throughout the whole trip. His spotting skills helped us view a variety of wildlife including lions, leopards among others. In Bwindi, we had the best gorilla trekking adventure and yes! Was indeed incredible. We really had the best Uganda Experience with our Guide, Lucky. Honestly, I recommend Emerald of Africa Safaris if you are planning to visit Uganda.Posted on Hollyward19Verified Incredible experience with a fantastic guide We visited Uganda for a 9-day safari tour, and this company made it one of the best experiences of our lives. Our fantastic guide Edmand worked tirelessly to make sure we were comfortable, maximise the time with the animals, and was a fountain of interesting knowledge about the various species, culture, and history of the country. We learned so much and really appreciated Edmand's ability to find the hiding animals, as well as his patience to let us enjoy the moments (whilst other safari jeeps drove off, we spent an extra 10 minutes with a lioness and her cubs). In addition, the accommodation was all lovely, and the food throughout was great (we're vegetarian and didn't struggle at all). Cost wise we found the company to be fair compared to others. Importantly though we were never up-sold anything throughout the tour. Everything is included and there was no one trying to make us spend more. Thank you Emerald of Africa. If we're lucky enough to visit Uganda again, we will definitely rebook with you!Posted on davidingoVerified Great Trip with Super Agency We arrived in Kigali, Rwanda and started our 7 day trip from visiting Chemlazes, then Golden Monkeys and after crossing the border to Uganda we did Gorilla tracking....

Not only were we comfortable on the long drive up to Murchison Falls but our drivers/guides could not have been more professional and friendly. On top of that, Eddie and Meddy are so knowledgeable about Uganda's wildlife and we are still in disbelief that we got to see all of the Big Five! Truly an epic and memorable experience and I cannot recommend them enough for anyone considering a Ugandan safari.Posted on HeadspunVerified Unforgettable Rwanda Emerald tailored our 5 day trip to Rwanda to all our many and frequently changing requests without any fuss.
