We booked a trip in Entebbe in the hostel we were staying. It was a nice vibe with the people from the agency. We created a trip that included all our wishes and was perfect for our small budget (cheaper hotels, buy own food,…). We are really thankful, without this flexibilty we would’t be able to do the trip. Judy was a nice and helpful guide and we had a lot of fun with him. Can totally recommend this agency!
Thanks
