APS – Uganda Safari Client Testimonies
Recent 2012 Uganda Safari Testimonies;
A number of Tourists who have had Their tours with African Pearl Safaris in 2012 Have said that;….
Peter Arnoff Nielsen:
“Most people I know book their safari through an agent in their home country. I opted for a direct contact with an agency in Uganda. Certainly I had considerations sending a relatively large amount of money to a company I only knew through the internet.
I must say however that all the correspondence I had with African Pearl Safaris went very smooth. They immediately picked up upon my requests and put together a trip that fully incorporated my expectations to a safari in Uganda. The prime sensations obviously being the primates. The different monkeys, the chimpanzees and not least the gorillas. Safari in Uganda differs from most other African countries by much more variation in the experience. Not just two game drive per day; but also boat trips and must importantly walking safari. Though; but extraordinary rewarding.
African Pearl Safari had selected superior accommodation with excellent meal programs and not least outstanding locations for me. Every morning saw a new and fantastic sun rice. They also provided an experienced and punctual driver with a good command of English and knowledge of locations and wild life. Since we spend a lot of time together his forthcoming personality was essential in making my trip a smooth and fantastic memorable experience.

Sue and Bernard Wyld:
We just wanted to say thank you for organising such a wonderful holiday- you included all the things about animals and people that we wanted and we couldn’t have had a better itinerary.
The places we stayed in were all v good with excellent food and no tummy Upsets. We weren’t v keen on Arcadia cottages- a bit run down and no character in main shed – probably not helped by rain and being only guests! Garden and views were great though!
We also enjoyed all the boat rides where we saw lots of animals.
We had a good rest at Mihingo Lodge- a beautiful and peaceful place in a stunning setting with lovely rooms and ambience.
Sula, our driver and companion, is a lovely, kind and attentive man as well as being a very careful driver. Those roads are certainly hard work! He was always cheerful and looked after us so well. We miss him!
A very personal and attentive service which made for a fantastic holiday!
Many thanks again
Best wishes

MikeDavis79 – Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates: “Truly professional outfit and Sula is the best driver in the world”
Reviewed 19 October 2011, – MikeDavis79 has been to 69 destinations
Somewhat nervous before we arrived on how this might go, all our concerns were laid to rest from the word go. Was a fantastic 8 day trip that Edris from APS planned perfectly. The highlight for us, apart from the obvious of the safari and the gorillas was our driver Sula. One of the worlds truly great people who went out of his way to make our trip so so special. He has so so much knowledge of the region and such a warm and huge heart. WE LOVE YOU SULA! If we we are to return to East Africa we wouldn’t hesitate to use Africa Pearl Safaris again. Thank you
Dr. Dwain – Bloomington, Indiana: “Gorilla trek, game viewing and Lake Edward cruise”
Reviewed 21 September 2011
I selected African Pearl based on reviews such as this. I have been to Africa many times and done safaris multiple times in East Africa and a number of countries in southern africa. African Pearl rates very high with me. The driver/guide Sulu did an excellent job. The Gorilla trek is much more difficult than advertized. Hire a porter to carry your small pack and assist you up and down some very difficult and slick areas. Trekking shoes are strongly recommended. Garments are not as important as those shoes. I don’t hesitate to recommend this group. Dr. Dwain
“Excellent company”
I actually visited in 12/09, and Sula was my driver. I chose African Pearl because of Phiona, who arrenged all tour details and was an outstanding communicator. This is an amazing country, with various opportunities to trek (and in the sanctuary, more closely contact) chimpanzees, see big game, and trek gorillas, as well as see a beautiful and exotic countryside. You can be very confident with african Pearl Safaris, as Sula took very good care and was very cautious with me.
A group of 6 people who went for a safari of 5 days;
This 6 people group visited Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth, for 5 days from 10th – 15th Sep 2011 and this is what they said after their tour;
Dr. Dwain Clark Ill man: “I and my friends enjoyed the tour immensely. The office people have been so kind. I would emphasize the difficulty at Gorilla trek to need for more technical hiking shoes. Clothing is important but shoes are the key”.
Pamela Jean Roberts: “I have been on safari 3 times, this was the best”.
Yulanda Burley: “Sula was wonderful! Efficient driver/guide and one of our team. He took good care of us and we loved every minute we spent with him”.
Jill Lynn Buffenbarger: “ Sula was an excellent driver, he became our friend and trusted advisor”.
Pamela Roberts: “Sula, thank you for your care, you gave us a safe trip. Sula I will pray for you, Jesus loves you, and I will always remember you. God put you in our life; you are a blessing from God”.
