About Us

  It was a wonderful epic adventure, I saw wildlife of all kinds, and the gorilla trip was special. Thanks to the team, it was very friendly

  We are experienced travelers and were recommended African Rock by friends who knew of our long held interest in visiting Uganda.

Before our arrival in Uganda, Chris of African... read more Rock was very responsive to all our requests, questions and suggestions about the kind of trip we wanted. He also managed to secure Visas for us at very short notice. Travelers beware – although some guidance says that you can get Visas at the airport on arrival, the airline may not allow you to board if you have not got one in advance!

As keen observers of wildlife, especially birds, and also very keen photographers, we were extremely fortunate to have Jaz chosen by Chris as our guide.

Jaz’s knowledge of wildlife is amazing, even surpassing that of local guides on occasions. If you are a bird “lister”, Jaz will make every possible effort to find the birds you want to see and, if you are a keen photographer, he will help you get some brilliant shots.

Jaz takes very good photographs himself of not just the wildlife but also landscapes, including almost every sunrise and sunset on our trip, and a few personal ones as well.

His energy seemed boundless, striving to give us the absolute maximum time for wildlife above all other considerations.

We also felt safe in his hands on some difficult roads, and were grateful for the way he (supported by Chris) managed to deal with a vehicle breakdown without major upset to our itinerary.

And he gave good advice; for example, about the gorilla tracking experience.

So, thank you Jaz and Chris for a very interesting and memorable “expedition”!

  The 6 days experience was really amazing I was surprised of the landscape and the cultural wealth of the country. African rock safaris made us discover all of this... read more with their flexible and professional staff. ( We arrived 5 hours earlier than planned and they figure out to come pick us up at 4:00 a.m at the airport)
Big shoutout to William our guide who is just awesome ( btw he speaks all the dialects of the country), thanks to him we have seen the big 5 animals and had passed a fun journey.

See you soon Uganda ..

  The travel of my life - A unique experience, Vincent was a great guide, everything went according to plan, totally recommended and reliable company

  Amazing tour experience! We had a wonderful trip, specially our driver and guide Vicent was, besides an excellent driver, very knowledgeable and professional. We felt like friends and family and... read more had an amazing time. His sense of humor and patience was remarkable. We felt like African Rock Safaris took care of us and made sure we had an unforgettable experience. We’ll definitely book with them again, and cannot stop recommending them. They made our trip unique.

  Wonderful team, they fulfilled all what was promised!!! They’re so careful and developed an amazing trip planning! Everything works fine!!!

  Christopher and his team are excellently organised, absolutely reliable and at the same time so friendly that the European service should cut a thick slice!

The journey went... read more 14 days around Uganda. We sat in the car a lot, but our eyes are tearing away and we were able to get enough of this great country until the end! Jaz, the tour guide, East prepared for everything and always in control of the situation - even if we had a nail in the tire. He safely navigated us everywhere and never tired of explaining the background of the culture to us beforehand.

Above all, we laughed a lot!!! The accommodations were wonderful, well located, good service! Thanks alot! This was a trip of a lifetime!

  My first safari I had in my own country. It was a nice experience seeing how beautiful my country was with the perfect guides from African rock. Seeing the big... read more numbers of elephant families was my best highlight during this trip. I also stood a chance to see how the leopard hunts live not on a TV channel . Thanks African Rock for the perfect trip.

  We went 3 weeks and it never got boring. It was an awesome time with very nice, trustworthy and funny guides. The Gorilla Tracking and abseiling is sth u wont forget.

  1. Christopher, the owner, is quick to answer and ever so patient with every detail. Above all honest and reliable ( thank you for sorting out that whole corona mess... read more with us!)
2. the route was well planned with beautiful lodges, nice staff there and lots of cool activities!

Thank you so much for making our 14 days perfect !

  Amazing trip! We saw everything we had hoped for. The guides were amazing and made the trip double the fun. The car was in perfect condition and the lodges were... read more beautiful.
I would 1000% recommend this company to anyone looking for the perfect experience in Uganda

  One word to sum up my whole experience was, EPIC! Thank you for making this the most memorable trip.

  Christopher and his Team were awesome from start to finish! This was our second time using Christopher’s services, we visited Uganda in 2019 which was amazing and this time to... read more Tanzania and Zanzibar! Having used him before, I trusted Christopher to advise us on best Lodges and camps and every one we stayed in was awesome. We visited Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara And had game drives in each. When we arrived at the Serengeti camp, it took our breath away. Located right in the middle of the Serengeti. Lions roaring and hyenas laughing in the evening and early morning, literally right outside our accommodation! Breakfast whilst sat watching Zebra and wildebeest drinking from a nearby lake! Truly magnificent! As for the safaris, we were picked up early and on time every morning. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and he knew his way around the 15000 sq KM park like the back of his hand!
He arranged for us to go up in a hot air balloon above the Serengeti which was amazing too. We spent 9 days in Tanzania and then we flew to Zanzibar for the last 3 days. The transfer was flawless, we were dropped off by Lazaro in Tanzania and picked up by Idrissa in Zanzibar. The hotel had made an error which Christopher quickly rectified for us and we relaxed there until it was time to come home. We had an amazing time and the work that Christopher and his team put in to make it all possible is something we are yet again hugely grateful for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend African Rock Safaris to anyone looking for an african adventure put together by a professional company with great staff and a passion for creating an unforgettable experience.

  The first thing I would highlight from my time in Uganda is the overall atmosphere I experienced among the locals, and especially their music, specifically rap inspired by old American... read more rap. However, what fascinates me the most about Uganda is its nature. The diverse fauna, from the mountain gorillas to the very rare rhinos. Our guide, Aggrey, who accompanied us, was kind and willing to show us the most interesting places. The main qualities I would highlight about him were his patience and good humour, which he had despite having to look after two fools like us at times.

Thanks again, Aggrey!

  We had a great trip to Uganda with Christopher and his team. It was well organised according to our itinerary preferences. Our tour guide Ceasar was exceptional- he knew everyone... read more and everything, was cheerful and engaging and we felt super comfortable with him straight away. His smile and energy really does light up a room! If you love wildlife you will love a trip with these guys. Lots of options of activities to suit all, we stayed in lovely places with good food. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and take a trip with them again!

  Amazing experience in Uganda. Chris was very communicative when we had to postpone our trip a number of times due to COVID but it was well worth the wait. We... read more spent 11days with Ceasar, who was knowledgeable, funny, and an amazing problem solver and facilitator. I definitely hope our paths cross again. The wildlife is phenomenal - gorillas, chimpanzees, lions, leopards. Whatever you want these guys can do it - luxury, adventure, wildlife, just let them know!

  I dealt with them I found seriousness and punctuality and it was an enjoyable and successful trip They also helped me to do the pcr test in time and they... read more followed up with me the results.. They cared about me like family, I thank them very much

  We were extremely fortunate to connect & plan our trip with African Rock Safari.
The planning of the trip was very easy and Christopher was very flexible due to our... read more short schedule and planned everything perfectly and easily just via WhatsApp.

Upon our arrival we were picked up by Stanley, who was extremely nice and resourceful and told us everything about local life, habits and simply all we need to know. We went on a 3 day trip to Bwindi National Park and Lake Mburro Safari.

The experiences were absolutely stunning and I would dare to say even life changing. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi National Park was an incredible experience, seeing a Gorilla family in wild & Lake Mburro was a very nice ending to the trip, having seen much of the African wildlife.

Overall me and my friend, we can fully recommend the services of African Rock Safaris - they are reliable, plan well ahead, always answer and hold up to their promises - even more!!!!

  We had an excellent experience with African Rock Safaris making a great tour to the South West of Uganda. We were 3 people with the main interest to visit Bwindi... read more for Gorilla tracking as well as tracking Chimpanzees. African Rock Safaris offered a comprehensive program tailored to our interests and wishes at a good price. All was well planned and prepared,
We had a great driver/guide Aggrey who had best contacts, great knowledge to answer all our questions and trying his best to fulfill all our wishes - at the end of the trip we had developed a friendship.
Like that he managed to arrange a trip to the gorillas without long walking distances, got the car fixed instantly or arranged community programmes ranging from Batwa experience to traditional healer, coffee making and alike.
Of course the highlights were Gorilla tracking in Bwindi and Chimpstracking at Kibale forest, where we could observe a whole group coming to feed on a tree as well as an alpha male. Besides that we enjoyed walking between the Zebras at Lake Mburo Nationalpark, a great view over lake Bunyonyi or the private boat tour at Kazinga channel at Elizabeth National Park .
The lodges where nice including specials such as Ride 4 a women lodge in Bwindi or Elephant Hab lodge near Queen Elizabeth. All in all unforgettable experiences.

  I think it was my lucky day , when I found africa rock safari and decided to go with them to explore uganda , those people are professional, its not... read more just a perfect tour company, no, they are family now

As what happend to me!!
I was really lucky having him as my guide and now my freind!
He had that kind of knowledge of everything regarding wildlife and all about Ugandan !! I think if his knowledge was dividend on 13456890986543 people, still he will have much and he is a talanted photographer too beyond that, he is a respected well rasid man !

Don't miss going with them.to visit Uganda !

  Our driver Frank was out of his way to make the whole trip meaningful and successful. Overall this trip was well planed and executed well. The only thing we... read more didn’t expect was during the whole trip only the first and the last hotel ViaVia took credit card. Make sure to bring enough cash, and exchange to local currency.

  We did a nine day safari. Everything went perfectly but the highlight of the trip was trekking into Biwindi Impenetrable Forest to spend time with the endangered mountain gorillas.... read more We also did a fantastic trek into a gorge to see Chimpanzees in the wild and visited and stayed in Queen Elizabeth National Park. We covered a huge part of Uganda and our driver/guide Joseph was excellent with very good knowledge of the wildlife and forests as well as Uganda in general. Thanks to Christopher who arranged the agenda for the trip. He also arranged for us to stay at 2 Friends Boutique Hotel before and after the safari and the room and service there was also excellent. Our trip was delayed several times due to COVID but Christopher was amazingly patient and kept rearranging our gorilla permit and other accommodations. Overall it was truly a “bucket list” trip thanks to African Rock Safaris.

  The trip was beyond anything we could have imagined and that is because of African Rock Safaris and was well worth the wait (delayed 9 months due to pandemic)! Our... read more 7 day safari was planned by Chris with feedback from us and what we wanted to see. Every single detail was accounted for in our trip from transportation, tickets, meals, etc. The true wow factor was our guide, Cesar. He is truly a human encyclopedia with the knowledge of the parks, animals, and the country. The knowledge, kindness, and attention to detail for our groups needs (caffeine, boat rides, restroom breaks, etc) made the experience that much better. We truly enjoyed our trek through Lake Mburo, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi, and Bunyonyi and all of the incredible animals, scenery, and of course the hospitality and positivity of the Ugandan people. By the end of the trip, Chris and Cesar felt like family. We cannot recommend African Rock Safari enough!

  The trip was perfectly organized from the beginning to the end. Christopher is very responsive and always tries to find the best deal for his clients! Our driver guide William... read more was a very nice and knowledgeable guide that is willing to go the extra mile - e.g. without his great engagement we would not have had the chance to see the tree climbing lions .
We were choosing the „budget“ accommodation which were all exceeding our expectations - all were nice and clean, so nothing to complain about!
In total it was a wonderful trip with good value for money, a lot of wildlife and beautiful sceneries - I would definitely recommend!

  Can't choose just one part that I liked most. The whole Trip was planed very well so we were able to see the amazing variety of Uganda. Watching the gorillas... read more in their habitat and being so close to them is simply unique. Every day of our trip was filled with new adventures and makes it unforgettable. African Rock Safari planned our trip in a very varied way and responded to our wishes. The service and communication was perfect.
