      Tired of lodges and safari vehicles, go on a walking safari with Juraj! It is the lodge luxury in the middle of nature. I have been to Murchison Falls NP many times, but this is truly an amazing experience being one with nature on foot in this fantastic landscape! You feel like our ancestors!

      What an amazing experience Juraj, Joram, and all the other members of the team gave us in Uganda. Small-scale, making you feel truly alone in nature, yet equipped with every convenience. We highly recommend a walking safari to everyone.

      We did a 3-day walking safari with camping in Murchison Falls National Park, and honestly it went way beyond what I expected. This wasn’t a typical safari where you just sit in a car. Walking through the bush, being that close to nature, no crowds around—just you, the landscape, and the sounds—was something completely different. Hard to describe unless you experience it. The camp setup was great. Everything worked, the staff were super friendly, and the whole thing felt very relaxed but still well organized. We had 3 rangers with us the whole time, so safety was never a concern, even out in the wild. Nights were something else. Lying in the tent and hearing animals moving around, footsteps in the bush, distant roaring… it’s a bit surreal, but at the same time absolutely breathtaking. You really feel like you’re part of the environment, not just watching it. I also love when you can see real passion in what people do, and Juraj with Lindiwe (business owners) are textbook example of that. They demonstrate it in every detail of the experience. If I could give 6 stars, I’d give 7. Definitely something I’d love to do again.

      We went on a Murchison Falls safari in autumn 2023. In addition to an excellent safari, we visited the Budongo Chimpanzee Forest on the way to the park, took a boat trip from Murchison Falls, and explored the shores of Lake Albert, which were rich in flora and fauna. The tented accommodation and food exceeded our expectations. The location was superb—we had the area entirely to ourselves. The tour company has a warm, family-like atmosphere. The owner has over 20 years of experience in Africa, and the staff were skilled, professional, and clearly enjoyed working together. The walking safari was a wonderful bonus. On trips to Africa, you usually spend a lot of time in vehicles covering long distances, so we really appreciated spending hours on foot in such an exciting environment. I would highly recommend this trip and the tour company to anyone.

      An unforgettable and truly off-the-beaten-track bush experience. My wife and I loved the walking safari with Juraj and his team in Murchison Falls National Park — from the magical sounds of the wild at night and hearing lions and hyenas nearby, to the beautiful bush breakfast and campfire dining experience. Everything was handled with great professionalism alongside UWA guides and rangers, and the hospitality was exceptional throughout. Highly recommend Bush Wonderers for anyone seeking a genuine wilderness experience in Uganda.

      UNOFFICIAL "CODE OF CONDUCT"

      Our trips have adventure at its core and as such require certain attitude to enjoy them. Below are a few pointers how to best approach our trips. No hard rules here but we would like to make sure nothing surprises you:

      • Endurance - Driving in Africa is different. Many roads, especially those to remote locations, are in various conditions. Some are truly bad, are under construction, wear out quickly, or change in conditions depending on time of the year. Our drivers are capable but be prepared for some stretched which may not be always pleasant!
      • Flexibility - Time is also somewhat relative here :-). We plan our itineraries carefully without taking any risks but one can expect some delays. For example, a ferry may be delayed or broken which means altering plans. Flexibility is important - and we will always get there. However, I have learnt that during any trip one encounters some unexpected events or surprises.
      • Openness - We meet lots of local people during the trip. Be open to learn from them and share with them some stories. These are the moments that often make the trips memorable!
      • I will work on expanding this section continuously but mainly easy and fun define our spirit!
