Testimonial
We (mother and adult son) spent 9 fantastic days in Uganda in March 2024. This country
is still relatively unfrequented by tourists, but is easy to travel around, in our case with a local guide.
We were very lucky with Paul from Terrain Safaris.
The tour was planned according to our wishes and everything was perfectly organized (transfer, accommodation,
food, permits, and much more). We also particularly appreciated his careful driving style.
In his company we were able to travel safely through this diverse country and Paul never tired of showing
us local animals and explaining the country and its traditions to us. Birds are his great passion, and there
are so many different ones. We are thrilled by this wonderful country and I can highly recommend Uganda and
of course Paul from Terrain Safaris to anyone who loves nature.
Had a fantastic trip planned and organised well by Terrain Safaris to Tanzania. The wildlife safaris were great, the accommodations we great and the trip was nicely put together and executed.
My wife and I recently returned from a wonderful 28-day combined birding and wildlife safari
in Uganda led by our very talented tour guide, Paul, who is the owner of Terrain Safaris. If you are someone
who loves nature, seeing wild life amidst breathtaking scenery, having unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime
experiences like gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, then this is the dream trip you need to take.
And if you have an interest in birding, as we do, then prepare to be more spoiled by the variety and number
of species of birds that you will have the opportunity to see. There are about 1,000 different species of bird
that can be seen in Uganda, and in our 4 weeks, we were able to see almost 500 different species.
Every aspect of our trip was well planned. The lodges where we stayed ranged from clean basic accommodations to
relatively plush lodges located in very scenic settings, based on what was available in the locations
where we were touring.
We traveled in a Toyota Land Cruiser competently driven by our guide Paul. As is common in many African countries,
many of the roads were unpaved dirt roads, so we were treated to the well-known "African Massage" that these dirt
roads provided.
Paul is a talented knowledgeable guide in all respects. He is a calm, interesting, and very likeable person with
a good sense of humor. As a birding guide, he is exceptional, with the ability to recognize almost 1,000 different
species of birds by their calls alone, and to then quickly locate them even in densely vegetated habitats.
Perhaps the best compliment that I can give Paul is to say that as great as he is as a birding guide,
he is even a greater person.
Obviously, we loved our unforgettable journey to Uganda, and we want to thank Paul and his company for making
all of it possible.
I loved my 28 day Birding and Wildlife Safari Uganda trip with Terrain Safaris. It was the
perfect combination of bird watching and wildlife viewing. Every day brought a new adventure filled with
unforgettable memories.
Paul KK is a great birding guide and wildlife spotter. Over the course of the trip, I took over 19,000 photos,
some of which I will add to this review when the photos are ready. He has an excellent ear for bird sounds and
was very knowledgeable of the birds in any particular area.
We saw almost 500 birds of which 347 were life birds for me. Of course, I was also thrilled to see wildlife such
as leopards, lions, zebras, etc, but also wildlife that was totally new for me, such as a Blue Monkey and Red-tailed
Monkeys, among others.
Our trip was well paced with more strenuous days ( for example, Gorilla trekking) alternating with more relaxed
days (birding locally by vehicle). There were some days when we were changing locations/environments and that meant
a lot of driving, but we always stopped for interesting birds and enjoyed the local scenery on the way.
We stayed in a variety of lodging, all well located for our birding and wildlife adventures. At one of the lodges,
we could watch and hear the hippos and sometimes, the elephants, in the body of water that was down the hill from
where our room was located. At another lodge I could sit on my porch and watch the birds flit around the trees at sunset.
I hope to return to Uganda to look for more birds and wildlife and I would definitely book again with Paul and Terrain Safaris.
Terrain Safaris, and our very experienced guide Paul, provided us with a Trip of a Lifetime!
Every detail was planned out with our needs in mind, and the places selected were beyond all expectations.
We received VIP treatment everywhere we went for 14 days because of the respect and high esteem held for
our guide Paul.
The people, animals, birds and countryside were all magnificent. We hope to return someday and
will recommend and use Terrain Safaris. Thank you for your excellent service.
I spent 7 days on a private Safari with Terrain Safaris and received excellent service all around. I'd recommend them to anyone!
