Gustav L08/01/2024Unforgettable safari and tour of Murchison Falls! Apollo took my family and I to a wonderful Safari and tour of Murchison falls. I have also travelled with him by myself before. Apollo is kind, funny and a meticulous planner. He is punctual, has excellent local contacts, and superb knowledge of wildlife and culture. Asking him a question is like consulting an encyclopedia, he always knows! Apollo took us for an unforgettable experience in Murchison falls. He arranged transport, accomodation, dining, and tours at a very fair price. During the safari we were able to tour the park almost alone, and thanks to Apollos knowledge of good spots we got to see many rare animals. I would recommend Apollo and Big Predator Tours to anyone wanting to visit Ugandas parks, not just Murchison falls. You won't regret it!Jasmin K10/12/2023Great experience I can easily recommend booking your safari and chimp trecking tour with Apollo. He and our driver are great guides and planned a perfect weekend trip to us according to our wishes. :)Tourist1156569900518/11/2023Recommended We loved the tour. Apollo and his friend are very kind and have organized the trip at best. We recommend them for a wonderful experience.Pien K17/11/2023Very good!! When we were in Uganda, we went for two weekends with Apollo on safari. We saw queen Elizabeth national park, Kibale forest, Murchison falls and ziwa Rhino sanctuary. Both times we had a wonderfull experience! Apollo is very trustworthy and everything was organized very good. The best part was chimpanzees tracking in Kibale forest. We also saw lions, elephants, giraffe, rhino's and lots of other animals.Jill L15/11/2023Amazing safari, hikes and more! Apollo is an amazing organiser and guide. We went on two safari's with him. One to Queen Elisabeth Park and one to Murchison falls. Next to the amazing game drives we did in the parks, he also organised chimpansee tracking, a boat safari cruise and a hike up to the Falls. Because of the knowledge of Apollo about the best views, we saw a lot of animals and beautiful nature. Another thing why we booked him the second time is because the accomodation, food, safety and permits were all organised really well, which I think is also really important.idilay k08/11/2023Amazing trip Our trip was amazing! We went on a Safari to Queen Elizabeth and did chimpansee tracking in Kibale with Apollo and it really exceeded our expectations. The transportation, meals and accommodation were all very well organized and the whole experience really left us speechless. we also went to Murchison falls National park and to the Ziwa rhino sanctuary!Nander d09/09/2023Game changer! We had an amazing time! Apollo is very knowledgeable about the wildlife and surroundings and is very enthusiastic all round, he gave us a tour specific to our needs. Apollo was also friendly enough to set us up completely with a tour and guide for the next day in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Our experience wouldn't have been the same without him!Allie N08/09/2023Apollo walking us through the beautiful caves and waterfall! We had such a great time with Apollo!
