My wife and I were fortunate to tour Uganda with Bernard and our experience was nothing short of incredible. Bernard showed us the people side of Uganda and was always looking to find ways to make the trip memorable for us, and indeed it was! The wildlife was amazing and Bernard always was looking at what he could add to the experience from stopping to purchase fruit from local vendors to suggesting food to try or the best time to leave for a safari.
We did a 10 days private tour across Uganda with TrueVine and we loved it! Our guide Bernard is one of the most honest and trustworthy people I ever met. He is the guide you want for your trip in East Africa: very knowledgeable about the history, the nature and the culture of Uganda, an expert driver and he always did the extra mile to look for the animals.
We had one of the most incredible experiences of our life!! Uganda is incredibly beautiful and Truevine gave us the flexibility of designing the itinerary together (big plus vs fixed itinerary companies), whilst keeping it extremely flexible, so that we could stop in case there was a new activity/place we were interested in.
We had an amazing experience with TrueVine - a team with the right blend of Experience, Energy and Enthusiasm. It started with the trip planning - very diligent and meticulous, and responsive communication. Despite the short notice, all permits were in place ... excellent choice of lodging, in line with our taste.
