A tourist guide or simply tour guide is a professional hired to offer assistance and information about an attraction or place on an organized sightseeing tour. Tourist guides are trained to make sure a visitor gets a comfortable, safe & informative trip to a park, museum, city, religious, cultural or historic site. The majority of tourists traveling to Uganda prefer self drive road trips over guided tours mainly because of the cheapness, privacy and flexibility driving this option offers. But just as cheap & private as it gets, the more unsafe and uncomfortable it will be. Some travelers go-ahead to put their trust in a Uganda tourist guide book online or printed but unless it’s the latest edition, do stick to it.
If you want a stress-free tour, then we highly recommend you hire a tour guide in Uganda based on these 5 reasons offered by savvy guides and travel experts at Mumwe Safaris.
1- Best Planner – You don’t have to worry about making reservations or booking activities as most of the preparations will be handed over to your personal tour guide. This offers you the freedom to enjoy your road trip with friends or family the best way possible without any worry of missing out on accommodation or failing to get into a park or attraction and that’s all thanks to the tourist guide.
2– Accurate Up-to-date Information – No matter how much information you have read about a destination or attraction through Google , Facebook or any other online site, you can’t get information as accurate and up-to-date as that from a local tour guide who has been in the country for years. Learn about the deep history and current events about a national park, wild animal, culture, landscape, forest or water body from an experienced person. You also get chance to learn about less popular spots you might not find on the internet.
