Nelka_132024-08-17Best lifetime experience! Excellent experience with Lifetime Experience! I contacted the company to organize my 12 day drive around Uganda visiting the major attractions - Murchison, Kibale, Bwindi, Bunyoni and bring me over to Rwanda. Everything went smoothly as planned. Lifetime organized my permits and advised on the best itinerary. I had the best driver in Uganda - Sula the Catman! He literally knows every single road in the country (even the ones that are no longer used):)). There was not a day without a good joke. My trip is over but i miss him. Sula, i hope i will see you again one day! Wish you the best!Verified
Blue2024-08-15Incredible experience ! I was referred to Lifetime Experience Safaris by a friend, and from the moment I reached out to them Jesse-Thomas made me feel that this would actually be a lifetime experience. He simply asked me what my preferences were and took off from there. All I had to do is show up . My guide Chris Atumanya took care of everything , from pick and transport, border crossings , check ins and permits . I would highly recommend Lifetime Experience Safaris. In fact I plan to do a longer trip in Uganda with friends and they will be the the company I book with. In a world where service is lacking , they shined bright !Verified
Tori S2024-06-28Loved our tour with Lifetime Experience! My husband and I went to Uganda for our honeymoon and did a 9-day tour with Lifetime Experience. We had such a great time and cannot say enough good things about this company. When we were searching, we liked how there were multiple tour options with this company and they could tailor the accommodations. They were quick to respond to questions we had via email and made the process of choosing our tour easy. We loved our driver, Sula, as he was very knowledgable, made us laugh, was a fun friend during our trip, and a great driver. At a few of the national parks, we even had a ranger come with us in our car to help find animals and give us more information. We truly rave about our time in Uganda and are happy we chose this company!Verified
SHEREEN S2024-03-31Fantastic 14 Night Trip. Highly Recommend Lifetime Experience Safaris We are a couple in our late 60's and have recently returned from a 14 night customised trip to Uganda with Lifetime Experience Safaris, and were extremely happy with our tour. We contacted a few companies initially for quotes / ideas and Jesse Tom (the owner of Lifetime Experience) stood out from the other companies in terms of promptness of reply, a willingness to accommodate our wishes / plans, lots of good suggestions and cost. Over a period of a few months we had many emails back and forth until we were completely happy with the itinerary. We were not sure initially whether to hire a vehicle and drive ourselves or have a driver. But after researching on various forums we decided to have a driver. This was an excellent decision. The driving conditions (we had previously only driven in Zimbabwe) and the roads / navigation in Uganda were really challenging to say the least! Our driver was Gerald who was just brilliant! It can be daunting to think you are going to spend 14 days with a stranger, but Gerald turned out to be really great. He was excellent company (we learnt a lot about the country, way of life for Ugandans, politics etc,) made lots of stops at local cafes, restaurants etc we would never have stopped at on out own, was very thoughtful about making sure we had plenty of rest stops (at our age toilet considerations were important!) and was generally a good all round guy. We both had a few health issues (I picked up a cold / cough / chest infection on the flight) which he took care of - stopping off at pharmacies to get us medication. He definitely made the trip for us and enhanced our experience of Uganda - even managing to get us an easy group for the Gorilla trek so we only had to walk for about 30 minutes. The cost of the trip included everything - apart from drinks and tips - which was great. I have written a "Trip Report" and put it on the Tripadvisor Uganda Forum for those who are interested in out itinerary - but Jesse Tom will work with you to make your trip personal to you. We highly recommend this company.Verified
Sheila201420142024-02-29Lifetime Experience Safaris I recently returned from a two-week tour of national parks with Lifetime Experience Safaris. My vacation was beyond expectations. Jesse Tom answered all my questions prior to travel and tailored the trip to include everything I wanted to see. Our guides George and Gerald were fantastic, sharing their knowledge of plants, animals, birds, geography, history and culture and making sure we were comfortable at all times. I'd recommend this tour company for any travel to Uganda.Verified
Patricia S2024-02-27The Trip of a lifetime with Lifetime Experiences! I’ve dreamed of seeing the Mountain Gorillas for ever and seeing the Chimpanzees, after hearing Jane Goodall’s chimpanzee scream three times. I was a little uneasy about going to Uganda with US State Department warnings, so I wrote to Jesse Tom to find out how they handle unpredictable situations. He reassured me that the tour would be modified as needed to ensure my safety. Additionally, our guide, Gerald told me his job was to keep me safe. So I had a 14-day tour with 2 days seeing chimpanzees and 2 days with gorillas, each day is unique seeing different families. It was the trip of a lifetime seeing leopards in trees; the intimacy of a gorilla family with the silverback, female with 3 month old baby, and juvenile male playing; hearing the chimpanzee chorus in the trees echoing around me; walking safari with white rhinos including eldest female with youngest 30 month old baby; walking with giraffes and zebras. It was an incredible experience which I will relive through photos and memories for a long time. I highly recommend Lifetime Experiences for your trip of a lifetime!Verified

Carmen D2024-02-20Lake Bunyonyi, Gorilla Tracking and Lake Mburo National Park I cannot recommend this company highly enough, Jesse responds to emails quickly and is very helpful, even when plans are changed. This is the second time we have used Lifetime Safaris. Their staff are skilled drivers (not a small consideration on the roads of Uganda), are friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Abaas was a lovely guy who went above and beyond to ensure our short visit was perfect. Thank you Lifetime Safaris we would not hesitate to use you again.
