Trustworthy professionalism that delivers a trip of a lifetime

22-Apr-2021

Ecovic Tours and specifically Vincent, designed and arranged every detail perfectly. Fort Murchison Lodge was great. He arranged all our activities at Murchison Falls National Park excellently and our guide Benjamin was the best. He tracked the lions tenaciously until he found them and took perfect care of us. Highly encourage you to use this wonderful company. You will have an unforgettable time. ...more ...less

Look no further - book with Ecovic Tours!

Ever since we first contacted Ecovic Tours until we met Vincent at the airport, we were very well-informed about the itinerary and the status of our trip. The lodge at Murchison Falls National Park provides all the comfort and rest we needed ahead of the morning game drives and boat cruise. All the activities at Murchison Falls National Park exceeded all our expectations. That experience was incredibly touching, and we look forward to coming back to Uganda. Wow Ecovic Tours! ...more ...less

The best tour company ever

22-Apr-2021

My family had a wonderful 15 nights in Uganda thanks to Ecovic Tours. Vincent had planning everything perfectly and taken care of the smallest things. He will immediately solve even the smallest problems for you all you have to do is let her know that there is a problem. The Best thing about Ecovic Tours is also that they know the value for clients money. I had contacted two other agencies from safaribookings and they ended up giving me a higher quotation ( a lot lot higher ) for pretty much the same itinerary and hotels. And of course we had the best guide ever - Joesph. His animal spotting is exceptional. He can see things we just can’t. And he has such great relationships with other guides and people on the ground that you end up receiving a lot of help and benefit. Will definitely tour with them again for other countries they offer. ...more ...less

My tour guide was named Frank he was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the entire country and would answer every question that I had without it hesitation, and it did not sound like he was making it up he knew his stuff any new everything about this safari and how to find animals and where to find animals, and it was a very fun experience hanging out with him for about 7 days. Frank also drives very safely and knows how to make sure that you're taken care of and that the people take care of you while you are in his custody. I will recommend Ecovic Tours to everyone! ...more ...less
