Absolutely awesome experience. So many NGO’s are working tirelessly to improve the lives of those who are vulnerable, abused, abandoned, poverty stricken. We saw people who don’t have “stuff” and we call them poor but the people of Uganda have the warmest hearts and the biggest welcome. Our accommodation ranged from fine to fabulous. The food was delicious - no one had tummy troubles. The trips and safaris were breathtaking and seeing the gorillas in their natural habitat was truly amazing. Just go!

I have enjoyed everything about this trip. Very move during the first week with the time spend with some members of the community.
The second week with the animal was also superb.
A safari which complement the emotional first week.
Uganda is a fantastic destination, I will probably go back again.

We had a great time. The experience will never be forgotten. The accommodation varied widely. With Buffalo lodge and Bird nest lodge being our favorite. The food the first week lacked variety but the second week made up for it. The vehicle the first week offered lots of space while the vehicle the second week needed to be larger for our group size and needed working seatbelts. Also a nice added feature would have been a cooler to keep water cold. All in all we enjoyed our trip and would recommend it

Jeff is a natural connector across people from all different corners of the world and I cannot thank him and his team enough for organizing the trip of a lifetime. It far exceeded my expectations and I felt so in the moment each day knowing that it was meticulously planned and we were safe. Hope to join another one day and would highly recommend others who are considering the trip to join! No matter where Jeff organizes (if he organizes another) - it will be an experience you never forget. :)
