From Trip Advisor

We had two weeks starting in Kigali November 28 and ended in Entebbe December 11. Richard our guide picked us up in Kigali and we had a cocktail of adventures and also options. Game drive in Queen Elisabeth NP. Gorilla, chimps and shoebill trekking but the main reason for East Africa was Rwenzori mountains and climbing Margherita Peak 5109m. We where supported with 15 porters, one chef and three guides on our seven days hike. Amazing views in different zones. It was a great adventure and we all came up on the summit. I can strongly recommend Richard and Musana Tours and Travel for your adventure in East Africa.

I took an 11-day solo "Primates and Safari" tour with Richard of Musana Tours and Travel in November 2023, and I had a fantastic time. Richard had scheduled a wide variety of activities for me across Uganda that were personalized to my specific interests, including safari game drives, chimpanzee trekking, gorilla trekking, community tours, and boat rides. The logistics of my trip could not have been better handled by him and everything went very smoothly. Plus, he was very knowledgeable and full of information, as he was able to answer all of the many questions I had about the country and its animal and human inhabitants. I had such a good time in Uganda on the tour put together by Richard that I want to go back again and bring friends/family so they can experience the country, as well. And when I do go back to Uganda, I will definitely use Richard again as my tour operator!

The planning of the tour couldn't have been better tailored to my short period of just 4 days. This short period of time was perfectly organized and went exactly the same way. Starting with the pickup at the airport, all transfers, lodges and of course the gorilla trekking itself. Communication was absolutely smooth and uncomplicated and an individual request on my part was also taken into account, which was definitely not part of the booked tour as standard (visiting the city of Kigali, before heading back to the airport). All of this was available at the lowest price among all the offers I received. I would like to briefly mention which lodges I stayed in, namely “Bweza Gorilla Lodge” and “Lake Bunyonyie Eco Resort”. These lodges were simply fabulous! With super nice staff, delicious food and fantastic rooms. And also, a big shout out to Matiya, he got me everywhere safely and quickly and was a great companion. All in all, I can 100% recommend Musana Tours And Travel! I always felt like I was in great hands, Richard and the entire team were not only very polite and courteous, you could chat with them about anything and have a lot of fun. I would like to thank you for this wonderful experience and for making my short trip unforgettable. Both Thumbs up!

We went on an amazing four day trip to Bwindi and Lake Bunyonyi with Richard. The communication before our trip was great, and Richard was really flexible when we wanted to adjust our plans. He has a lot of knowledge about Uganda in general, could answer every question we had, was punctual and we felt really safe. Gorilla trekking, our stay at Bweza lodge and village walk was our absolute highlights in Uganda. I highly recommend travelling with Musana Tours and Travel.

Richard the director of Musana Tours and Travel provided transport from Lake Bunyonyi to Entebbe. On the long drive, Richard was very easy to talk to and informative as we passed through a number of towns and the equator. Richard's taste in African music also made the long drive much more enjoyable! We highly recommend Richard's services.

I did a 21 day tour in January 2023 with Musana Tours. It was my second tour with Richard. The other trip was in August 2022 in Rwanda and Uganda. My 2023 itinerary was planned by Richard specifically around local culture and wildlife which he knew from the previous trip were my priorities. This trip was perfectly planned and I wouldn’t have changed anything. The lodges were exceptional and exactly the types of places I prefer. I love camping and we even got to stay in tents a few nights. Richard is very personable and easy to talk to. He always made sure I was safe and had everything I needed. He has an amazing eye and can spot birds and animals easily. I had a short list of animals I wanted to see that I didn’t see on the previous trip. While wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, I managed to see those remaining animals. He knows where the animals are usually found and does his best to help you see them. If you are interested in birding, Richard knows many birds and is good at spotting them. We followed the itinerary , but the trip was never so rigid that we couldn’t stop to take pictures or visit the village children. The trip started at Lake Mburo. From there I visited Lake Bunyonyi, Queen Elizabeth, a two night stay on a coffee farm, Murchison Falls, Kidepo, Pian Upe, Sipi Falls, and Jinga. I also spent a few days with the tribes of the far north of Uganda. It was an interesting cultural experience learning and seeing how they live. And lots of dancing with the tribes which was so fun. I would definitely recommend Musana Tours for a trip to Uganda. Richard has a great knowledge and love of his country and it shows in his work. I am already planning my third trip to Uganda.

I did the a 3-days gorilla trekking tour with lake Bunyonyi with Musana Tours. Richard is professional, the communication wife the booking was always swift, the price offered was competitive (esp. for solo traveller) and he always tried to accommodate the tour to my need. The itinerary is done efficiently with the first night stay in Bwindi so I didn’t have to wake up very early for the gorilla trekking the next day (as the lodge, which by the way is fantastic, is located close to the briefing point of the trek). The meals included in the tour were all delicious - which is a big plus. Overall I can highly recommend Musana travel.
