“Little Rock Safaris went above and beyond our expectations! We went on a safari tour to Murchison Falls National Park and it was so fun and they made the trip so smooth even when our group was so slow moving they adapted to our pace. ”

“I travelled with Littlerock in July, and it was rewarding right from the pick-up at Entebbe to drop-off. The team ensured our itinerary ran smoothly, and their choice of accommodation, especially during the Gorilla trekking and the Queen Elizabeth visit, was top-notch.”
