I had a fabulous vacation with Wild Whispers Africa - did 6 days of safari, chimps tracking and gorilla tracking. First of all they are incredibly organized and Racheal answered all of my concerns, changed the dates when needed and was super helpful. The lodges where I stayed were absolutely beautiful and I was very positively suprised. I also very much liked the itinerary they prepared as everyday I had some time for myself to rest and relax. The guide Jacob was so knowledgeable about everything and I would not spot half of the animals if not him. Also he tried extra hard to find the lions when even I gave up already. The gorilla tracking doesn’t need even a comment - it’s an experience of a lifetime.
I totally recommend Wild Whispers Africa and I was so happy with my choice as it’s not the easy one.

We have just completed 2 weeks safari with Wild Whispers and had an amazing time thanks to our guide Nasser and also Racheal who helped to organise this trip for us. We actually booked this 2 years ago but were unable to travel as a result of Covid restrictions. Racheal was very responsive in re-organising the dates/activities so we were finally ready to go in April this year.
Our trip started off with rhino's sanctuary where we were able to come very close to these amazing animals and progressed to the Murchissons Falls park which is abundant with animals. It was great to see all the antelopes, giraffes, buffalos, hippos, elephants, lions, birds etc. We were lucky enough to spot leopards, one of them was close to the lodge we stayed in.
Very appreciated the customised boat trips where you could get closer to the hippos/crocodiles in the water. Each guide on the boat was happy to accommodate my needs to take as many pictures of birds (mostly kingfishers) and patiently waited for me to take tens of them :-)
Was really impressed with the numbers of elephants in the Queen Elizabeth's Park and the whole landscape.
Our guide Nasser was very enthusiastic to show all the possible wildlife and even spotted a rare giant forest hog which was a treat. I have always admired the ability of safari guides to be able to drive through the countryside and spot animals/birds at very long distance while us struggling to make out the distant dot. Nasser was definitely one of them and thanks to him I have got a camera full of lovely pictures and memories. A big thanks to Nasser!!
Uganda is a very beautiful country, people are very friendly and always smiling despite the fact a lot of them have very little to live on. I would recommend to anyone to go and see for themselves and Wild Whispers could be your choice to help you with that.

Words are not going to do this justice, but I will try…. Ngabirano Chris was our guide. He has made our trip here in Rwanda so special and memorable. We started our trip off with the Gorillas in Volcanoes national park. He taught us so much about the gorillas before we started the trek. When we returned he wanted to see every picture and hear about ever experience we encountered. After a night in Kigali, we made our way to Akagera National park next. He taught us so much about the way of life here as well as the forrest and animals. He spotted animals that none of us could have been able to see. We saw 5 leopards during our stay in Akagera, the rest of the Big 5, and every other animal it has to offer! He also helped us coordinate buying food, essential supplies, and children gifts for local villagers. He would stop in the areas that he knew there were many mommas and children and help keep everyone in order while we passed the items out. Chris is absolutely wonderful, and I cannot say enough positive things about him. I am sure we will keep in touch, and we will see him again one day. We hope in Uganda! If you are lucky enough to get Chris as your guide, please tell him the Alabama girls send our love!

Our tour with Wild Whispers was amazing. We went on our honeymoon to Namibia, South Africa, and wanted to end with Uganda. We were supposed to arrive to Uganda Saturday at 3pm, with a very tight schedule. There was a strike on South African Airways, and our flight got cancelled. We had to call Racheal (who was our link with WW) up and let her know that we didn't know at what time we were arriving because our flight was delayed.
We managed to get the first flight out of there and arrive at 3 AM. We were received by Jack: in a great mood even though he had been waiting for us for 12 hours. He let us sleep in the car, and called the hotel while we were asleep to make sure that they would bring breakfast for us to the car because we were in a hurry to make our first tour. He made sure that it complied with our very complicated dietary restrictions. When possible, he also made sure we got very good tour guides for each one of our adventures.
Jack was also very knowledgeable about every question we had: all types of birds, landscape, land animals, he made sure we saw every animal we wanted to see, would be happy to adapt to our needs to make sure we had a great experience. If we wanted to try something different, or go to a local restaurant he would find a way and have it all ready. Aside from elephants, jackals, warthogs, different types of monkeys, hippos, we even saw a leopard from less than ten feet away, a drooling lion, chimpanzees brushing up against us, gorillas, baby owls, and much more. Always feeling very safe.
Just a small detail of how great Jack was: one of our tennis shoes was damaged and we mentioned to Jack we are thinking of fixing it. Next morning he had already taken it to have it repaired.
For anyone thinking about going for the chimpanzee tour as well: do it. It was a great experience, very different from the Gorillas, and definitely worth it.
The hotels were wonderful, all of them very beautiful with great views, food was delicious. We went for the medium package, and Racheal did a great job of picking them, making sure that we had a great experience in Uganda, that the areas we went to in each park were close to where we needed to be, and writing up a plan that would fit our requests. She was very helpful with everything we needed and helped us resolve our matter so we wouldn't have to change anything from our already tight schedule. As a note: she took our concerns very seriously, and we really appreciated the work she put into our trip.

We (two friends) just completed an incredible 14-day safari with Edmund and cannot say enough good things about the insights he provided, the humor he brought to the trip or how easy he made everything. Seriously, this guy knows everyone in Uganda and has all the right tips to get you the best views and experiences customized to your needs and preferences. Thanks to him and Racheal’s wise counsel and responsiveness as we were planning, we saw everything we hoped to see (Africa’s Big 5, plus gorillas, chimps, golden monkeys, giraffe, zebra, hippos and more), had an amazing time and never had to think about a thing.
If you are debating coming to Uganda because of COVID, please know it is very safe. Every precaution was taken to ensure both we and the animals stayed healthy. If anything, we were fortunate to get to experience this beautiful place with fewer tourists.
If you are debating between tour operators, do yourself a favor and go with Wild Whispers. I cannot imagine a better team and look forward to planning future trips with them.

Back one week ago after a 9 day tour with Wild Whispers Africa to Uganda : Entebbe, Murchison, QE national park, Kabyle and Bwindi . Edmund was a fantastic guide -friendly,funny,knowledgable,chatty and kindly let us use his phone data so we could watch the Queens funeral enroute from Bwindi to Entebbe . He also saved our lives by taking quick action when a large elephant appeared out of the dark on the highway 😱 We saw so many animals , including 4 individual leopards ,male and female lions in a tree. Loved the rhino tracking in our wellies, chimpanzees amazing but obviously the main reason for our trip was the Gorillas which was surreal ,a family with silverback and babies -wow . Do stop taking photos for a minute and sit and savour the experience .
The lodges were great and staff friendly and helpful , finally got chance for a swim in the amazing infinity pool overlooking QE national park . Thanks to Julius for our hot water bottles at Bwindi (shh don’t tell everyone about them)
A big thankyou to Racheal for organising and re-organising our trip which was planned for a big birthday 2yrs ago and this was our 4th attempt to get there , well worth the wait 🦍🦁🐒🦒🦏🐘

Wild Whispers was the ideal travel company for our honeymoon trip in Uganda.
They helped organize our four day trip to see Chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, and also Gorillas in the Impenetrable Forest.
The communication with Rachael was amazing throughout, and our drivers and guides were also knowledgeable and helped us along the way.
On our last day, we were having such a great time in Uganda that we wanted to stay an extra day. We asked the lodge owner to help us, and he told us to communicate with Wild Whispers directly.
Rachael replied immediately and helped extend our trip an extra day so quickly!
I would recommend Wild Whispers to anyone planning a safari in Uganda!

I used Wild Whispers to help coordinate and book my gorilla trekking adventure for myself and two friends. Rachael was incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any and all questions.
The accommodations were fantastic and Wild Whispers took care of everything needed to make our journey easy.

Just finished an amazing trip to the beautiful Uganda! Amazing tour provided by Wild Whispers Africa! And our tour guide Mugisha Godwin was outstanding. I highly recommend this company and this guide for your trip. Godwin took us across this beautiful and scenic country to visit the Gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Many thanks Wild Whispers and Godwin!!

We went through Wild whispers after finding them on the Uganda tourism board site and checking reviews on TripAdvisor. They arranged gorilla permits, accommodations and transport for us for a 4 days “safari” including Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale and gorilla tracking in Bwindi. I would highly recommend their services! Jacob, our guide and driver, was very attentive, knowledgeable and arranged additional activities (such as a community walk in Bigodi on the day between Kibale & Bwindi) when time permitted so that we really made the most of our trip. The whole experience was stress free and seamless.
Good to know: they don't tell you which hotel you're actually staying at until the week before departure but the lodges turned out to be great so no worries there.
