       Amazing customized Uganda tour. Indeed a trip of a lifetime!
William came highly recommended by family living in Uganda and another family member who had previously booked with him. He designed a custom 12 day itinerary for me and created a trip around my interests. I absolutely loved relaxing at Lake Bunyonyi, gorilla trekking and hiking Muhabura among several other activities. I had the pleasure of having two guides for the trip - William and Danny were both wonderful. I learned a lot about Uganda and the regional cultures. Both were experienced guides fluent in multiple languages. They were easy going and both had a great sense of humor. As a solo female traveler I always felt super safe and very much enjoyed my time with them. I would happily book with William again. 10/10 recommend. Thanks for the great trip William and Danny!

     Unforgettable Uganda Tour
William was recommended to me by a family member to plan my tour of Uganda. From the first email, he made the entire process fun and seamless. He took my considerations into account (budget, must-do activities) and created a perfect personalized itinerary for my almost 2-week trip that was a lifetime experience I will never forget. I had the pleasure of experiencing the company of both William and Robert - both made me feel safe as a solo female traveller and were wonderful to have conversations with and ask questions. They were both so full of knowledge about the areas, history and animals. The experiences and accommodations never disappointed! Accommodations were always beautiful, clean and staff/service was always impeccable. The experiences were all once-in-a-lifetime experiences but the gorilla trek which was a major highlight and I highly recommend to anyone visiting Uganda. I cannot say enough good things about booking with William, and will definitely be booking with him again when planning my next Uganda adventure!

     Wonderful Tour in Rwanda and Uganda for 11 days
I have booked a 11 days tour with African Gorilla Exp. and was accompanied by William. For me it was the first time in both countries an the summary is that the tour was fantastic and still sounds deep in my heart and feelings. William was a very professional and reliable tour guide with a lot of experience and knowledge about both countries, culture habits and all question I asked non stop. The trip was adapted to my budget, interest and wishes and I was not disappointed the opposite was the case. Most impressive was the gorillas, the elephants (I like most) and the Leopard we have seen. Of course we have seen much more and also the landscape and vegetation was wonderful - real live cinema. I also recommend to do community tours to get a little inside in the live of the people, that touched me as well. Over all it was really, really one of the vacation I will remember most.

     Trip of a lifetime. And an amazing guide who helped me have this experience
I came to Rwanda with no real plans or expectations and was pleasantly blown away by the amazing personal touch & knowledge of my guide for 2 days Mr. Luchi Williams. Not only was he knowledgable with every aspect of the tour enabling me to see Rwanda in a completely new light but also was a super cool friend helping me enjoy the trip thoroughly. Highlight was his judgement on where to eat, where to stay, tips & secret tricks (which you cannot google :p) ensuring I got the best trip experience possible. And P.S He got me in on the best possible Gorilla trek (there are 3 options) near the Congo border where I managed to see a family of 10+ Gorillas in one sitting. Its an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. Stunning trip. Amazing guide. Thank you Luchi. P.S Anyone wants to get the best out of Rwanda/Uganda trip and want a non salesy and honest suggestion, I would recommend connecting with Luchi (Whatsapp : +250 781 358 757)

     An incredible tour
I had a wonderful 8 day adventure with William as my guide. He was recommended by a friend and he did not disappoint. He developed an adventure packed itinerary that was tailor made for me. Every day was interesting and so much fun. I hope everyone can trek to see the rhinos and cruise the Nile and see the falls and enjoy impressive safaris, trek to be with the chimpanzees and stop for some cultural visits. I really enjoyed the fishing village and farm visit and the sunset picnic in the Queen Victoria park will always be a special memory for me. All the nature lodges William chose for me were such a lovely surprise. They were all so comfortable and awesome and the food was incredible. Most of all, I appreciated how kind and attentive William was. He obviously really cared and wanted me to have a great time. He would stop to get my favorite fruit for the lodge to prepare for me and helped me take pictures and went with me on the chimpanzee trek to carry my backpack and to make sure I was having fun. He made me feel so safe and comfortable and had knowledge of everything, including all the birds. I am recommending William to all my friends because I know he can be trusted to give them the best tour and take them to the best gorilla trek too. Sent from my iPhone

     Amazing trip with amazing tour guide
We had such a great time with Luchi! He is very knowledgeable and accommodating, making sure we got the full experience of Ugandan culture and people. The Gorillas were breath taking, and one of my favorite experiences.

     Once in a Lifetime Trip
William Luchi is the owner, and he was our guide for a 12 day trip. Our trip started in Kigali, Rwanda, and ended in Kampala, Uganda. We had such an incredible trip. In Kigali we toured the city, visited the Genocide Memorial, saw two churches from the genocide, and went on an fascinating walking tour. We went from Kigali to Lake Kivu where we stayed at a beautiful resort on the lake and toured a tea plantation. We then went on to Volcanoes National Park to see the mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. Seeing the gorillas and the golden monkeys was absolutely unbelievable. What an experience. I would highly recommend staying at the Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel while visiting Volcanoes National Park. We went on from there to Uganda, which truly is the pearl of Africa. We stayed at a resort on an island in the deepest lake in Uganda, with breathtaking views in all directions. Our chimpanzee trek in the Kibale Forest was another unbelievable experience. We saw 10+ lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park, plus so many other animals. Our tour covered a good distance, and we saw and did so much. William was the best tour guide. He was flexible, gave us choices, gave us privacy, but was there when we needed him. I cannot say enough about our trip to Africa, and William is a big part of the unbelievable experience that we had. I will be forever grateful for everything that he did for my family me. I would highly recommend him and his company.
