We did the Gorilla Trekking / Uganda trip in June 2017. We were the first group to do this trip. Still, pre-trip planning and communication was very good and then the two local guides Dan and Fred were simply excellent and taking best care of us, we always felt welcome and like at home.
Uganda is an incredibly beautiful country and the guides showed us some of its most stunning spots – it’s much “greener and mountaineous” then what we expected… The itinerary is diverse, authentic and interesting and there’s so much more to see than only the Gorillas. However, visiting the Bwindi Gorillas was a very special and impressive experience, it’s tremendously fascinating to see these peaceful giants in their natural habitat.
Overall, we fully recommend the trip to anyone looking for a truly special and unique experience…and a nice decelerating dose of authentic Africa!
We had a great trip to Murchisson Falls! Everything was perfectly organized and our guide Dan was very reliable, super committed to showing us as much wildlife as possible and above all, a ton of fun! We all wished we could extend for a few days and some of us already booked our next UganDan experience with Follow Alice. Well done!
Great experience!
1) Preperations were on point
2) Very-well organized and planned, just the way we wanted it
3) Our main man “Dan” was such an amazing guide
Bravo! Would definitely keep on following Alice �
Memorable and fun filled trip to Murchison Falls!
Our trip to Murchison Falls exceeded expectation and had lots of really memorable moments thanks to our super guide UganDan! Dan’s knowledge and commitment to making the trip really special for us was evident from the start and maintained throughout. The organisation and payment side of things was also great; super smooth and fast.
Great experience from the initial planning with Reto and his efforts to accomodate our demanding wishes all the way through to the pitch perfect execution of Dan who made the Safari and the trip around it unforgettable. It didn’t feel like travelling with a tourguide but more with a good friend who has invited you to his home country. Thanks FollowAlice!!
Well, Follow-ing Alice definetily took us to wonderland. My friends and I were very pleased with the service and particularly with our guide and travel companion, Dan, who contributed to making this experience unforgetable.
Thank you!
Amazing service through and through. As magical as our trip was, the guide and everything Follow Alice had to offer only made it better. From planning up until our return home, all of our needs/queries were dealt with efficiently and professionaly.
Thank you Alice 🙂
Followed Alice to Uganda in August 2018
My boyfriend and I contacted Follow Alice to organize a trip to Uganda with two friends of ours, and we really had a great experience. Reto and Dan were very responsive and developed a tailored itinerary based on our interests. We had several calls and a whatsapp group which made communication really easy and quick. The organization of the trip was perfect and enjoying the fantastic scenery was all we had to worry about. Dan is an excellent guide, extremely competent, professional and knowledgeable. We wouldn’t have enjoyed our experience as much and learned as much about Uganda without his insights. It truly was like travelling with a friend! I would definitely recommend following Alice (and Dan) to Uganda!
Our friends organised a trip to Uganda and Rwanda with FollowAlice in August 2018. FollowAlice really adapted the itinerary to each of our requests without problems. Communication was easy and we highly appreciated the efforts of FollowAlice to get us in touch with our local guide before travelling there, so that we were already familiar with him! Dan was an amazing guide and we really enjoyed travelling Uganda with him. 100% recommended (both FollowAlice and Dan!).
I just came back from an amazing 14 days trip to Uganda with Follow Alice, and I strongly recommend them. This was my second experience with Follow Alice, and just like the first trip, everything was flawless. Uganda is by itself a beautiful and fascinating country, and Follow Alice’s team helped us on adjusting the itinerary to meet exactly what we wanted: the right mix of culture, wildilife and adventure. It was EPIC. Dan, Follow Alice’s local ambassador and our guide, was incredible: he knows all the right places to go, and has a profound knowledge and love for Uganda. From the history and curiosities about each site, to the behavior of each animal and sound of each bird, no question went unanswered. And he never stops smiling 🙂 Our group was great: we were all on the same “vibe” and quickly got a good dynamic going. Accomodation and transport through the way was very good: we were always at good lodges, and the jeep was very comfortable and reliable. I’m really looking forward to my next adventure with Follow Alice.
We had a 2 week trip to Uganda with FollowAlice. It was incredible from the start, the pre holiday advice,tips and once in Uganda the experience with out local guide Dan. He was very personable and his local knowledge was great. He was attentive to details and understood what it takes to make a great experience for his “friends“. Uganda is a beautiful country, the difference in landscapes from one region to another was a unexpected surprise. The people are very friendly and there are many activities to do. Uganda is a wonderful destination and with Follow Alice, I was able to fulfil a dream of mine to see the gorillas. And I now look forward to planning my next Follow Alice adventure.
We booked a fairly last minute, two week tour of Uganda in December. Reto and Dan’s quick responses and Skype chat sold us on booking via Follow Alice. Dan exudes positivity, confidence, and really was the reason we fell for this colorful, emerging location. Dan made us feel safe, has a passion for animals, loves his country and has interesting insight on its current affairs. He gave up his Christmas (and our trainee guide JoJo’s) and New Year to provide us the trip of a lifetime. Dancing to sunset on a hill overlooking QENP on Christmas Eve, followed by a 5* buffet on Christmas Day overlooking elephants on the Kazinga Channel with our amazing guides was very special to us.
Things to note: We quickly found out some lodges separate the guides from the tourists (meals and lodging) which we were horrified by. These were unfortunately places we chose through reading reviews and not recommendations from Dan and Reto. Dan quickly sorted new, good places for us when this happened. Lesson learned, trust the experts! Meals can sometimes take awhile dependent upon lodge however almost all food is farm to table (fresh!) best tomatoes and avocados I’ve ever had. Do a community visit and buy gifts/clothes cheaply in Uganda. An unforgettable experience! I would give one word of caution: bring your own UNO playing cards. Uganda UNO seems rigged in Dan’s favor 😉
Everything was very well organised and planned for our trip to Uganda. The accommodation was very unique with amazing views. Dan our local leader and new friend was great. I loved the extra touches and surprises throughout – the hats, the massages and little gifts from Dan.
Top quality all the way!
IF your looking for a reliable and high quality travel agency for exclusive travel experience, FOLLOW ALICE is the obvious choice.
Unforgettable experience!
We booked our tour to Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda with Follow Alice and it was simply a dream, an unforgettable experience!!
An amazing trip where we have seen and learnt a lot.
Our tour was perfectly organized and our guides were very knowledgeable, all these factors together allowed us to enjoy every single moment of our journey.
We would highly recommend FollowAlice and we would contact them again whenever we will go back to Africa!
They are trustable, efficient, always kind and available, they address your requests and beyond…you can’t get better!
Thanks again to all the Team!!!

just did a 9 day trip to Uganda led by Dan the Man…absolutely incredible experience. the itinerary was a perfect blend of animal tracking (gorilla, lions, elephants), physical adventure (2x10hrs hike to summits), stunning all-inclusive lodges and roof-popping roadtrips (if you go, go with Dan’s landcruiser!).
Guys from followalice extremely available and helpful to make this trip come to life, top notch planning and execution!

Great trip to Rwanda/Uganda!
The team were great at answering any of my concerns so all the planning went smoothly. On ground, Dan the local guide was truly amazing and supported us at every turn. He made sure we were comfortable and gave us recommendations for places to stay and eat.
I look forward to my next trip with Follow Alice.
A true “once in a lifetime” thing and the Follow Alice team made it an exceptional and outstanding experience.
Pre-trip communication was straight-forward and all questions were answered in a timely manner.
On ground the local guides were helpful and welcoming. We actually travelled with friends, not with guides.
Long story short – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
