Visit Uganda

Ever wondered why Uganda is nicknamed ‘The Pearl of Africa’? Picture this – lions roaming the open savanna at dawn, a tranquil boat cruise down Murchison Falls, a captivating encounter with mountain gorillas, and thrilling white water rafting on the Nile River, known as the world’s longest river, in Jinja, Uganda.

In 2012, Lonely Planet, the largest travel guide and media publisher globally, declared Uganda the top tourist destination for the year.

The remote Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in the southwest is famous for mountain gorilla tracking, while Murchison Falls National Park in the northwest boasts impressive 43-meter-tall waterfalls and is home to the Big 4 – Leopards, Elephants, Lions, and Buffalos

Incredible 10 day safari !!! This trip was a recommendation from a friend who went with Denis(the guide/owner operator) and it was the trip of a lifetime for my family. Denis planned out a 10 day safari for our family/friends we were a group of 5 with my daughter (10yr) being the youngest. From day 1 the trip just blew us away and kept getting better each day which was astonishing. I’ve been on many 2 week long trips and usually they start to feel long but when this one came to an end I was not ready to go back home. Denis stayed with us from the entire time so we never felt alone or unsafe. Our safari Land Cruiser was roomy and everyone was comfortable throughout the trip. Denis gave us the most incredible experiences and took us to the best lodges. We did rhino trekking and a gorilla trek through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This experience was so surreal. We hiked into the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and got to see an entire family unit of Mountain Gorillas. We were within mere feet of a big mama with her tiny one month old baby, a two year old which you can see clowning around on the 5th slide. A silverback was also pretty close and he was breathtaking. Also this experience wouldn’t have been the same for me without our guide Dennis looking out for me behind the scenes. He let the other guides know that I am a little bit of a cripple(previous auto accident has left me somewhat permanently injured) and they gave us the group of gorillas that were the closest. We only had to hike for about 10 mins and we got to spend almost 2 hours with them. I wouldn’t have been to physically make that trek had it been hours trekking. Denis was extremely accommodating and patient with our family’s specific needs I cannot recommend him enough. I would recommend pearl nature holidays to anyone wanting to visit the wonders of Africa.

Trip of a lifetime It must be said my wife and I approached this with a singular desire to see Gorillas in their natural habitat. What we did not expect, and this is solely a result of Denis from Pearl Nature and both his excellent planning and wonderful character, was to fall in Love with everything about Uganda. Denis took us on an adventure filled with breathtaking landscapes, an abundance of wildlife from the tiny weaver birds to birds of prey to the prehistoric looking but captivating Shoebill, hippos, warthogs, lions, chimps, cobs, golden monkeys, buffalo, elephants and of course gorillas. The list goes on. We trekked, sailed and was driven to some of the most wonderful places. We stayed in lodges on hills and mountains overlooking impenetrable forests, stunning lakes and beneath a sky full of stars. All of this was underpinned by Denis who provided insightful history and cultural facts as well as wonderful humour and genuine warmth. Uganda is a delight and its people full of an infectious joy. Denis himself is professional and we genuinely feel this would not have been the trip of a lifetime that we will forever remember had we not booked with him but gone through some faceless agency based in the UK. As you can see from the length of this review we struggle to truly put in to words how good this trip was. Our sincere thanks goes to Denis. Uganda - we went for the Gorillas we will return for the people. Thank you again Pearl Nature Holidays

Pearl Nature Holidays w/ Denis My friends and I did a 10 day safari trip with Denis, Pearl Nature Holidays. Denis made our experience one of the best, he went out of his way to ensure us a great trip with amazing experiences. Denis booked everything in advance and sent an itinerary to us months in advance, letting us know what clothes to wear and what type of weather to expect. Initially I thought 10 days would be a drag, but each day I caught myself saying “I thought it couldn’t get better than this, and then it did.” Denis took us to a rhino sanctuary to begin with, we did a few game drives in 2 separate national parks, Kibale and Queen Elizabeth. We visited Murchison falls national park. To top it off, we went Gorilla trekking, which had to been one of my personal best experiences. We got to experience wildlife at such a close proximity and Denis did an awesome job on answering all questions, he is extremely knowledgeable. We also got to meet the community & learn about the culture and herbal medicine. This trip was one of a lifetime. I can’t wait to visit again.

Family Trip Of A Lifetime to Uganda Fabulous trip to the country of my birth with my family. From the moment I reviewed Pear Nature holidays from social media reviews, I knew the trip would be expertly managed and a pleasure with Dennis. The important part was to visit Kampala and Dennis organised a great tour plan including rhino trekking, Murchison Falls, Elizabeth NP, drive via the beautiful Rwenzori mountains, safaris, stops along the way to say hello to local children. The accomodation was superb at Papyrus, Pakuba and Baffalo lodges. The relaxing evening by Lake Victoria on our final day for dinner was memorable! Thank you Dennis (and Ronnie in Kampala) from Pearl Nature, you are the best in the business, and thank you for sharpening my broken Swahili Ndugu, we had a lot of laughs in the Land Cruiser 😊 Habari!

Visit to Queen Elizaneth National Park We visited QE National park with chimp trek. Everything was well organized and our driver was excellent. Accommodation perfect. Fair business partner. I recommend the tour operator for your trip in Uganda. Best services for the lowest price. Thank you again. Another think is that I would never visit or suggest Queen Elizabeth park; no big herds and no big variety of animals could be seen.

What a journey! The whole experience was just wonderful! I was only there for a week but we were able to Jam Pack in a bunch of activities in just a short period of time and everyday was a new wonderful adventure. The lodges were all authentic and seeing the wildlife up close and in their own natural habitat was surreal. Our tour guide Dennis had gone above and beyond to give us the experience we asked for from safari rides to get up close to see lions to cruising the Nile to see the hippos and all the elephants. It was such a journey and 10/10 recommend to everyone wanting an adventure! Will definitely consider coming back!

Exceptional I went with Pearl Natural guided by Denis the amazing. He arrange fully packed schedule as i had limited time. He made very thing possible and extremely smooth travelling from one place to another with 8 days. I saw almost every highlights of Uganda (Murchison falls, chimps experience, gorrilla trekk in Bwindi, lions searching, girraf, hippos, driving across forests, local communities, River Nile, did white water raffting, and reached the equater) it was such an amazing an unforgettable experience. I chose mid range hotels ... all of them were above exceptional with 5 star accomodation and service. I would highly recommend Pearl Natural Holidays, solid company with highly experienced and well connected guide, Denis the Amazing.

Murchison Falls National Park with Chimpanzee Trekking I went with Denis to the Murchison Falls and to Budongo Forest for the Chimpanzee Trekking. Everything went well and smoothly he is a reliable and flexible guy who makes his job with passion and competence. During the trip he gave me a lot of interesting information regarding Uganda making the transfer a chance to improve the country’ s knowledge. At the end of the trip all my goals were 100% targeted.Last but not least the tour’s price was quite fair and Denis was transparent from the beginning. Stefano
