What a fabulous, amazing, exciting time I had in Uganda with Ecovic Tours!

19-Oct-2020

I was a solo female traveller, Vincent was very considerate in providing the lovely Patricia as my guide. She was warm, friendly and very knowledgable. She even bought me a pack of cards and taught me a Ugandan game. William was a very reliable driver with a great sense of humour. Uganda is beautiful. I did 2 gorilla treks, saw wildlife in Queen Elizabeth, Murchison and Kidepo Valley National Parks, immersed in the culture and had a lot of fun on the way. The lodges were fabulous and the food endless. An all round amazing time. Would highly recommend Vincent and his team.

Amazing holiday of alifetime

01-Mar-2021

With covid-19 pandemic ravaging the world, we decided to travel to Africa for our anniversary after the reopening of airports in most countries globally and Uganda was our desired destination. We searched around for our trip management company and Ecovic Tours emerged as our company of choice. We're extremely happy that we chose Ecovic Tours. The company exhibited much professionalism during our trip organization and execution. During the pre-trip communication, Vincent was exceedingly helpful and would reply very promptly to our queries. On arrival at the airport, we were picked amidst observing the SOPs directly to our booked hotel where we started off our safari in the morning. We visited several places including Kidepo Valley, Murchison falls, Kibale Forest and Bwindi, and we were in the company of our guide Alphonz and Vincent. These two are wonderful and amazing people. They were so friendly, courteous and professional. Both of them were so knowledgeable about Uganda and their knowledge about birds and all the animals were breathtaking. Ugandans are loving and kind. They made our stay in Uganda so memorable. I highly recommend Ecovic Tours!

Vincent from Ecovic Tours and his team did a perfect job. Great!

27-Nov-2020

Our Uganda trip was much more beautiful than we had expected. The travel planning and accommodations (Tent Camps) were exactly as we wanted them to be at Kidepo Valley National Park. Our guide Emma and our driver Solomon were very friendly, very competent and very courteous. We had the feeling to travel with friends. Uganda is a beautiful country and the people are very friendly. We can only recommend everyone to visit Uganda and book the trip via Ecovic Tours!. Then a great holiday is safe!

We did a tour starting in Entebbe, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Kidepo Valley, Murchison, Kibale, Queen Elisabeth NP, Lake Mutanda, gorilla, chimpansee and golden monkey trekking, then to Kigali to visit the Genocide Memorial. We had a great time, everything was well organized, friendly and professional driver and guide. I hope we can come again!. Go Vincent and Ecovic Tours

Professional, flexible and welcoming

24-Jan-2021

From the moment I first contacted Vincent he gave me great certainty and confidence that he ran a professional organization. He was flexible with our complex itinerary and adapted and incorporated all our requests. Once we got on the ground he handed us over to his very warm and professional guide Veronica and driver John who ensured our trip was sensational. We highly recommend his company Ecovic Tours!.
