          Highly recommend!!
          Our guide Hamlet was wonderful and went above and beyond to ensure our tour was informative and fun. We got to see the spectacular and endangered shoebill stork on the swamp tour. We really enjoyed the day and activities and lunch (which was included) was delicious.

          We will never support them. Beacuse every moment was abnormal.
          We had high hopes for our safari with Gazelle Safari, but unfortunately, the entire trip was a letdown. The company’s lack of professionalism and organization was evident, and it only got worse from there. Underwhelming Safari Experience. On the actual safari, things didn’t improve. The vehicle was not what we were promised. It was old, uncomfortable, and had no proper windows or ventilation, making it extremely difficult to enjoy the game drives. I had to spend most of the time adjusting my seat and trying to block out the dust from the vehicle’s worn out air conditioning system. The guide, who was supposed to be the highlight of the trip, barely made an effort to engage with us. At one point, he even seemed more interested in his phone than in showing us wildlife or explaining the environment. We missed out on a lot of potential learning moments, and the overall experience felt disjointed and rushed.

          City Tour with Mathew
          If you're looking for an unforgettable tour experience, look no further than Mathew! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he wasn't just a guide, but someone truly passionate about sharing his knowledge and love for the area. His enthusiasm was infectious. Mathew’s depth of knowledge was impressive; whether it was historical facts, local legends, or hidden gems, he had an answer (and often a fascinating story) for everything. What really set Mathew apart was his commitment to making sure we saw as much as possible. He was always aware of time but never rushed us, adapting the tour based on our interests and ensuring we didn’t miss a thing. I can’t recommend Mathew highly enough—he truly goes above and beyond to make sure you have a memorable, enriching time.

          Entebbe in October
          A superb day. We got to see 2 shoebills and hold chameleons. Hilary and Brian were very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend the day.

          One of the Most Incredible Days Ever!
          Hillary, our guide, provided me and my friend an absolutely amazing day exploring Entebbe and the nearby swamp! We started the day by being picked up and a basket with water and fruit was provided. We took 2 different boats to find the incredible, elusive, endangered shoebill stork and luckily we found one and got to take pictures and study him. Then we got to go to the Uganda Wildlife Center and see some animals up close, including the shoebill stork and chimpanzees. After a delicious traditional lunch, we visited the Reptile center and saw some scary snakes, got to hold a giant tortoise and hold a couple of chameleons. Then we went to Botanical Gardens and walked through the gorgeous place seeing rare trees and a few birds and monkeys too. All 3 places had a knowledgeable guide included to take us around. Then to my surprise Hillary set up a table with a birthday cake and sparkling grape juice served on China and wine glasses. What an amazing experience! Finally I had asked if we could top buy the markets some could buy a few souvenirs to take back home since it was my last day in Uganda and he obliged and didn’t make me feel rushed at all. This was a great way to spend a day when you have a late flight. It’s definitely worth adding an extra day to your itinerary. Just so you know, save back $50 or so to pay for one of the boats that isn’t included. It was still worth every penny! Thank you Hillary!

          Terrific day tour of Kampala. Hillary was a fantastic guide. He shuttled me around to the main sites and also customized the tour. Very interactive and interesting day. Highly recommend.

          Wished I knew ahead of time boat trip cost $52 cash
          What I would have loved to know when I booked the tour was total price. Since I was solo cost $240 then area said extra price for boat ride to the swamp. Was a handmade boat and cost me $52 cash at end of day. Most of Uganda doesn’t accept credit cards so I was very limited on cash my trip. Then the reptile place had a sadistic jerk tour me around. He loved getting the poor creatures angry. He poked each snake with a stick and knocked on the glass to show teeth. Also poked crocodile hard with stick to show teeth. Then would flick his finger hard at the turtles head and legs to make it go back in shell. The wildlife conservation was the best. Had the best caring guide that really explained interesting facts about the animals

          Fabulous Day Out
          Not the Eco Day Tour but a bespoke day.... I had an extra day in Entebbe before the rest of the tour group arrived and I decided to look for a tour that covered Mabamba Swamp and Entebbe Botanical Gardens. After a little research, I found Gazelle and I'm very pleased I did. Sorting out the details of the tour before I left the UK was easily done by email. The company did not try and rip me off (like another one I contacted who quoted more than double the going rate) and we settled on a price and itinery. On the day, Mathew Tusubira looked after me perfectly. He arrived at my hotel early and had even brought a waterproof (my luggage had not made it from Amsterdam). His knowledge of the history, geography, politics and organisational skills seemed second to none. The boatmen (across Lake Victoria and in the Swamp) were superb as well as being friendly and happy to slow down or change direction so I could look at wildlife. The bird guide in the Swamp was brilliant, taking me straight to a magnificent Shoebill with which we stayed for an hour. There was no disturbance of the bird and I enjoyed the 60 minutes so much!! Afterwards, we re-crossed the Lake (by the way, a much better way to get to Mabamba than driving) we were off to the Botanical Gardens. The local guide was collected and , again, was superb. Mathew was in close attendance all the time and did not mind that we overran the schedule, allowing me time to really look and appreciate the many new (to me) species of birds and monkey. I'm not a photographer (I like to look) but have tens of photos from the day). All in all, a day I will long remember thanks to Gazelle Safari Company.

          Kampala in a Day
          Kampala is a dynamic city with much to see and learn both of today and its often times checkered history. From the troubled times of Idi Amin to the more positive todays of the national theater and the nearby Artisans Market compete with some of the finest paintings you will see anywhere. The Central Mosque is one of the largest in Africa and the national history museum highlights the progression forward of the country. A crowded sometimes Chaotic Kampala lends itself to a car and driver who knows the city well. Gazelle Safari works towards giving you an informative and enjoyable day.

          Matthew was fantastic
          We took a Kampala city tour and it was excellent. Matthew was helpful, funny and very enthusiastic. We loved his company, he’s really cook. We had a hangover because of partying the night before but he made our day🙂

          AMAZING experience
          We have just returned from an amazing trip to Uganda organized by Anne and Gazelle Safaris! It was so easy to work closely with her from the US, figuring out what we wanted to do , what we enjoyed, and the budget we had - hiking, kayaking , wildlife, chimpanzees,  endangered golden monkeys and gorillas. She was ever present on WhatsApp throughout our booking experience, advised us about Visa applications, was flexible, trustworthy, and my wingman in more ways than one.  Richard was the best guide/driver ever- my cheeks are still hurting from laughing so much! It was a goal from way back to Dian Fossey. Thank you to Ann and your team! I would highly recommend using gazelle Safaris to design your dream vacation

          Best 6hrs in Kampala
          I didn't have a lot of time for sight seeing in Kampala and this half tour with Gazelle Safari was the best decision ever. Mathew was my guide and he was all that and then some more. He was very polite and professional the entire time. He didn't rush me through any of the sites we visited and was very accommodating as-needed. He is very knowledgeable and learnt so much about Uganda than I would have ever thought! He is very passionate about his job too. Honestly I could go on and on about my experience but truly it was 100%. You should def book this tour and ask for Mathew. He will make you feel like you are the most important client ever!
