    My trip to Kampala with Cathy from Happy Trekkers was an absolute delight from start to finish. Cathy's professionalism and attention to detail were evident right from the moment we met her at the meeting point clad in a smart and easily recognizable uniform, she arrived punctually. Throughout the five-hour tour, her knowledge about Kampala city shone through as she answered our questions with enthusiasm and offered fascinating insights into the local culture and traditions. What truly set this experience apart was Cathy's friendly demeanor. She made us feel at ease and encouraged us to interact with the locals, which led to unforgettable memories. She even took the time to teach us a few words in the local language, which added a personal touch to the journey. I can’t forget the mouthwatering Kampala Rolex. My friend couldn't stop raving about its delicious flavors. It's no wonder why it's considered one of the best street foods in the country. Cathy thoughtfully ensured our safe return to the pick-up location at the end of the tour leaving us with a lasting impression of her exceptional service. I highly recommend Cathy as a guide for anyone looking to explore Kampala. Her passion for her work, combined with her knowledge and friendly nature, made the trip an enriching and unforgettable experience. I look forward to embarking on more adventures with Happy Trekkers in the future. Thank you, Cathy, and Happy Trekkers, for making our Kampala adventure truly memorable.

From exploring Nakasero Market with its delicious pineapples to witnessing the breathtaking view of Kampala city from the Gadhafi Mosque tower, every moment was captivating. The street food, especially the Rolex, was a delicious highlight. Eve’s attention to detail and professionalism made the journey seamless. I highly recommend Eve and Happy Trekkers for an exceptional Kampala adventure. Thank you for the cherished memories.

    Cathie was such a sweetheart! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Kampala with her as my guide. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with my shopping excursion at the end of our tour. Cathie was great at reminding me to take photos and served as a wonderful photographer (I'm not your typical tourist where I feel the need to take photos of everything or to be in them, but I'm glad she reminded me to capture a few memories). She also ensured that I got into my Uber to get safely to my next activity.
