Client Testimonials

We would highly recommend a trip to your beautiful country, Uganda. We will tell our friends and family about The Far Horizon. Everything was perfect. Moses was an absolute pleasure to work with. We enjoyed every minute with him. Moses is wonderful! THANK YOU!

A J MacDonald, USA September 2008

Loved it all. The driving between areas was a great experience even if we did have a few long days.

Having the 2 vehicles was so wonderful - thank you! Everyone treated us so nice. Far Horizon is well regarded, and I think Lawrence knows everyone in Uganda!

B&S Anderson, USA, April 2009

The gorillas were the main purpose of my trip and they were outstanding. Abdu, our driver guide was very professional, kind, efficient, immaculately dressed, and provided wonderful service; he made the holiday for me.

Mweya lodge was stunning. All was very well organized and I loved the information pack given at the beginning of the tour.

E Brock, UK, May 2008

I have just returned from a wonderful, but far too short, trip through Uganda and Rwanda. My driver guide for this trip was Sam, who was certainly a positive feature of my trip. His knowledge of birds was outstanding, as was his patience with someone who, although interested in birds, is not a hard-core birder. He has my highest recommendation for future travelers with your company.

J Keller, UK, September 2008

A very good trip. Felt well looked after and secure throughout. Lawrence was attentive, sensitive and knowledgeable - plus fun!

G Yate, UK, February 2009

Moses and Joseph are very polite and competent. We heard also much about the country and the situation of the people. Many thanks for the excellent organization. We had a good and interesting trip and we can recommend you.

J Dorner, Germany, September 2008

It has been a unique and unforgettable experience! The gorilla tracking has been excellent. We really had a nice time. Thank you all.

J and E Sogorb, Spain, July 2008

Fabulous Rwandan experience, Joe is a knowledgeable guide and wonderful ambassador for his country! Thank you Far Horizon

R and B Speer, Australia, October 2008

Lawrence was very professional, friendly, courteous and informative. He was helpful at all times and very protective of our security and well-being. We travelled to Kitgum with no problems. We will certainly recommend Lawrence and The Far Horizon. Thank you!

K and S Brenner, USA, January 2008

Abdu was outstanding in his appearance and caring attitude to his clients. Would recommend him to any other potential clients. The gorillas and chimps were an absolutely outstanding opportunity, well beyond my expectations…looking forward to returning maybe as a volunteer in a hospital. I wish Abdu and family and friends good health and happiness

K Lyons, Australia, May 2008

I would definitely recommend a similar tour in Rwanda to others! I want to come back and bring other friends

L Freeman, USA, February 2009

We would like to thank Moses for the excellent driving/guiding! He was at any time very reliable, correct, helpful and in good mood. He helped make this journey one of the most unforgettable to us. We would recommend him to any other clients. We have been to Kenya, Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe before, so we can compare the value of this trip.

M Sabina and W Ruiggenberg, Switzerland, February 2008

We are very proud of Uganda people who knows how conserve wildlife compared to other people. We encourage you to continue that way. Congratulations! Thanks so much!

J and M Valls, Spain, February 2008

Lawrence is a valuable asset to The Far Horizon. His personable nature combined with his far ranging knowledge of subjects from animals and plants to Ugandan politics and economics made the trip for us. We cannot commend him highly enough

R and L Brandes, USA, February 2009

Have had a fantastic time. Would love to do it all again. Abdu is a fabulous guide and always made sure we were OK, safe and happy. He is an awesome driver - I can't say enough about him - good sense of humour, patient, friendly - top bloke! Thanks to Abdu for a great Uganda experience!

R Puzey, Australia, May 2009

Far Horizon is the best handler I have ever had - absolutely everything was perfect. Moses is an amazing guide, negotiator, advisor and now a friend. Best wishes,

R and D Zabarkes, USA, June 2008

If I come for gorilla tracking in future, I will ask for Moses or Joseph as guide. This trip has given me wonderful impressions of Uganda and its people and nature!

S Droscha, Germany, September 2008

Our guide was polite, Knowledgeable and overall GREAT!

J Tolchinsky, USA, May 2009

Dear Far Horizon Team

Apologies for only getting back to you now... I don't know why I thought I had written to you about the Dorner Party, but since I can't find any record of this in the ''out box'', it seems like it was only in my head....

Mrs Dorner let me know that they all had a wonderful time, loved their trip to Uganda (scenery, people, accommodation) and in particular complimented your professionality and guides. They were generally very happy with the accommodation, except for her own room at Gately on Nile. It appears though that is was just her room or her own taste, as the rest of the party seemed to disagree with her about this. I guess you can never meet everybody's taste....

The wedding was quite an experience for them too. I am delighted that all went so well and am sure they will all be spreading the word that Uganda is a fantastic place to visit.

Wishing you all a good weekend and thanks so much for everything you did!

Best regards

Andrea, Tour Operator, Germany

Dear Far Horizon Team

I just had two long conversations with Jim and Diane. They had a wonderful experience in Uganda. Everything went smoothly - transfers, flights, drives. They enjoyed all the camps and thought the food was great. Of course, the gorillas were the highlight but they also loved Semliki (chimps) and the ferry ride at Queen Elizabeth (hippos, birds).

They both mentioned that all the guides and camp managers were great, especially Ian at GFC and the manager at Semliki (I don't know the name). Also, their guide Male was ''exceptional, special, impressive, honest''. They really thought he added to the trip. Also, they said that Far Horizons was excellent in ensuring that things ran smoothly - so thank you for all of that! Please also say thank you to Male, too.

Thanks again - our pax really loved their time in Uganda and thought all the people they met were lovely.

Cheers,

Dear Far Horizon Team

I thought I would pass this compliment along. This is from Anne: We are back and I at least seem to be over (mostly) the jet lag and my refusal to re-enter the 'real' world.

Africa is a magical place and returning was mentally very difficult. The trip was totally excellent!! All accommodations were great; safari guides were wonderful and all in all just a great trip.

Thanks for making it a wonderful trip for the 3 ladies.

With kind regards,

Dear Far Horizon Team

Please find feedback from Len's wife listed below. This is excellent feedback and is exactly what we like!

Thanks Again.

''My husband, Len, is recovering from eye surgery (not a result of the trip) and will fill out your form as soon as he can. He has asked me to convey to you how absolutely gob -smacking brilliant the trip was. He had a successful tracking each time. He came home with over 1,000 pictures, of which at least 999 were fully in focus and unbelievable. He got to see Titus who was featured in a film shown here in the states. What a thrill for him. Everyone was helpful, friendly and kind. There were absolutely no problems at all. I am sure he will be in touch when he is able. From me, his wife, to all of you, I thank you very very much for making this adventure possible.''

W Bolsover, Tour Operator, UK

Dear Far Horizon Team

Just a quick note to tell you how much Abramson/Hasson LOVED Steven and their Far Horizons guide while in Uganda.

They were thrilled with every aspect of your safari package and we thank you for everything - especially Steven as he worked very very hard to ensure their happiness.

Cheers

N Wennersten, Tour Operator, USA

Dear Far Horizon Team

Just a quick note to let you know we all arrived home safely (only 48 hours after leaving Boma for us!)

Everything was wonderful. Lawrence and Joseph were such great driver/guides. We felt very well taken care of. And everyone loved having David as our capable guide.

Our time with the gorillas and chimps was marvelous, such an outstanding experience.  We so enjoyed discovering the special places and the beauty of Uganda that you had planned for us.

Thank you again for the lovely handbag and map as our welcome gifts at the Emin Pasha (as well as the gifts for our traveling companions). Our dinner together at the Emin Pasha was a lovely way to get acquainted and enjoy the delicious food and ambience.

It was certainly a very special birthday celebration for me. Thank you so much for all the time and care that went in to planning our wonderful adventure.

Best regards,

Dear Far Horizon Team

Hope you are doing well. Please see below the feedback from the clients:-

''Hi Vanessa

We just finished our trip to Kenya and Rwanda and it was amazing. My husband and I both agree that this was the best trip we have ever taken. All the accommodations were wonderful, the game viewing on safari top notch, the standard of service everywhere we went was first rate, all the guides we had were so informative and helpful, the gorilla trekking was truly incredible, and all the transfers were taken care of seamlessly. To top it all off, we had the opportunity to meet some really wonderful, kind, and warm people during our travels that only added to our overall experience.

Thank you again for helping me plan such an amazing trip. My husband and I have really fallen in love with Africa and plan to come back again soon.

Ill be sure to forward you the wonderful photographs that I had the opportunity to take on my trip when I get back to Singapore.

Thanks again for all of your patience and help in planning our trip.''

Dear Far Horizon Team

I did not find the time I had hoped to today to properly respond to your email below. This is such a fantastic recap it practically brings tears to our eyes. We often request updates from our partners and get a two line response; what you have provided is so helpful. The care and consideration you take is in dealing with clients and trip details are so comforting and admirable. Thank you for all you have done.

The gift shipping is just fine. Thank you for letting us know.

We will send all feedback we receive and try to be as thorough and thoughtful as you have been.

Hoping you are having a fantastic weekend,

S Sullivan, Tour Operator, USA

Dear Far Horizon Team

Thanks - we trust your judgement.

Having read more about Nyungwe Forest I can't imagine wanting to leave - I have sold the idea to myself at least, it sounds fantastic.

Also just received a couple of lines of feedback from Tony and Claire along with a beautiful gorilla photo, more to follow next week:

''Just thought I would drop you a line to say that we had a fabulous holiday, it exceeded every expectation we had plus more. Everything ran like clockwork other than Kenya Airways losing our suitcase which didn't arrive until our last day at Gorillas nest. Lucky for us we had split the packing between two cases. I will send you an email over the weekend with some more feedback and detail but would like to thank you and the team once again for such a memorable experience''

Thanks to you all again,

K Blanchard, Tour Operator, UK
