We cannot recommend Peter highly enough! If you love adventure and want to experience Uganda’s wildlife from a truly unique and authentic perspective, Peter is the perfect guide. His adventurous spirit, kindness, and genuine passion for his work make every moment special. This was already our second trip exploring Uganda with him, and once again he exceeded all our expectations. We traveled through Queen Elizabeth National Park together with his colleague, Mr. Monday, and had an absolutely incredible experience. Seeing the Big Four in their natural habitat and discovering the breathtaking beauty of Uganda was simply unforgettable. Every detail was thoughtfully organized, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the journey. The accommodation was unique, the food was delicious, and the hospitality was outstanding. One of the most magical moments was having wild animals visit nearby at night — safely managed, but thrilling and unforgettable! The safari itself was spectacular and deeply impressive. Although the journey involves long distances and some bumpy roads, every second was worth it once we arrived. The experience, the landscapes, and the memories we created made it truly exceptional. Thank you, Peter, for another amazing adventure — we are already looking forward to our next trip with you!

We had an incredible 3-day fishing experience at Murchison Falls with Peter’s Fishing Tours! Everything was perfectly organized, and the knowledge and passion Peter brings to the trip truly made it special. The fishing itself was fantastic — great spots, excellent guidance, and plenty of action. Beyond that, the scenery around Murchison Falls is absolutely breathtaking, making the whole experience unforgettable. Two of us in the group agreed this was easily a 5-star experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-run, exciting, and memorable fishing adventure!

With a group of good friends we just did a 3 day safari tour with our Ugandan tour guide Peter 👌🏻👍🏻that took us to genuine places in the wilderness trying to provide us the most unique experience of Uganda. The location where we stayed - The Kazinga Wilderness Lodge was just a few minutes away from the Kasenyi safari trail/park. His calmness, good sense of humor and adventure made our safari trip even better than expected. We marked almost all the “big 4” of wilderness animals in the park, which left us with unforgettable memories and laughter. So I definitely recommend his guide and services with confidence and trust. Thank you Peter and Mister Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday 😂( insider’s know this) Hakuna Matata!

He ensures a safe and relaxing environment, while helping you reel in some incredible catches especially tilapia and catfish.

Whether you’re looking to catch tilapia, catfish, or Nile perch, Peter’s Fishing Tours guarantees a memorable day. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area—this tour is a perfect mix of adventure and tranquility!

I highly recommend Peter’s Fishing Tours Following thorough research, I booked their services. The $600 fee included a full day of fishing. They kindly offered to procure snacks, water, and beer of our choice, which we accepted for its convenience. The crew was remarkably friendly and spoke English fluently. The boat and equipment were outstanding, and we successfully caught two Nile perch and several other fish. We will certainly book their services again.

I have done the Nile Perch fishing whilst i was in Entebbe with Peter’s Fishing Tours. It was an absolutely amazing experience. There were 2 of us on a small fishing boat with a instructor. We caught a number of huge nile perch (all of which were released), one of which was almost as big as us. We saw quite a few Nile Monitor Lizards swimming around which was also fantastic. I highly reccomend the experience just take a baseball cap and sun screen neither of which i did and then suffered the conseqeunces!
