From day one, when we started enquiring about a safari and options available, the communication was great and responses were quick. Verdoro managed to put a personalised trip together at a very competitive rate. During the trip we were cared for in all respects and we always felt safe in the hands of our guide and driver. Our overall experience was beyond expectations. We can honestly recommend Verdoro Safaris as a good choice if you want to experience Uganda. ...more ...less

Memorable and worry-free safari trip in Uganda

14-Jun-2023

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 13-day safari trip in Uganda organised by Verdoro Safaris, and I cannot emphasize enough how extraordinary the experience was! From the moment we arrived until the bittersweet farewell, every aspect of the journey exceeded my expectations. The country's remarkable wildlife, stunning landscapes, warm people, and impeccable organization and communication through Jessie made this safari an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime. Our journey began in Entebbe, where we were greeted by our knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Roger, who proved to be an invaluable asset throughout the trip. The itinerary was meticulously planned, allowing us to explore a variety of breathtaking destinations. From the vast savannahs of Murchison Falls National Park to the dense forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, each location provided its unique charm and an abundance of wildlife. The expertise of our guide Roger was evident as he skillfully navigated through the parks, ensuring we had the best vantage points for observing and capturing unforgettable moments. Accommodation proposed by Verdoro Safaris throughout the safari was top-notch, ranging from cozy lodges nestled in the heart of nature to luxurious tented camps that offered the perfect blend of comfort and immersion. The lodges provided warm hospitality, delicious local cuisine, and stunning views that truly enhanced the overall experience. I cannot praise our tour operator Verdoro Safaris enough for their impeccable service and attention to detail. From the seamless logistics to the knowledgeable guide, they ensured that every moment of our safari was memorable and worry-free. Their commitment to sustainable tourism and conservation efforts was also commendable, ensuring that our journey left a positive impact on both the environment and the local communities. ...more ...less
