Outstanding 10 day Ugandan safari for 2
After researching several tour operators, my girlfriend and I chose Kajie Safaris because of their strong reputation and the quality of lodges included in their itineraries, which already looked very appealing and noticeably better than those offered by many other providers.
We initially contacted them about one of their pre-planned tours, and from the very beginning the experience was excellent. They were extremely helpful in suggesting modifications, offering thoughtful recommendations, and tailoring the itinerary to better match our interests. After a few adjustments and extensions, we were very happy with the final program and decided to book.
Communication leading up to the safari was outstanding. Responses were always quick, clear, and detailed, and Kajie Safaris was proactive in reminding us about visas, yellow fever certificates, and other important preparations. This gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind before arrival.
The safari itself exceeded our expectations in every way. Uganda is an incredible country, with stunning landscapes that constantly change—from lush forests and crater lakes to wide savannahs and dramatic views. Every day felt different, and the scenery alone made the journey unforgettable.
The lodges were truly exceptional. We knew in advance that they would be nice, but in reality they were outstanding, often featuring spectacular views from both the rooms and the restaurants. They were comfortable, beautifully located, and added enormously to the overall experience, making it feel both adventurous and relaxing at the same time.
Our guide and driver, Eddie, was absolutely exceptional and elevated the entire safari to another level. He ensured everything ran seamlessly, from transportation and check-ins to schedules and coordination with the lodges, including dinner arrangements, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the trip. Eddie drove very safely throughout the journey, which was greatly appreciated given the long distances and varying road conditions.
Eddie was also incredibly attentive and proactive. A great example was when he extended an excursion in Queen Elizabeth National Park to include a visit to a crater with flamingos, simply because we had been talking about flamingos during the night drive the day before—without us even asking. He was an excellent wildlife spotter and consistently helped us see animals we might otherwise have missed. Everywhere we went, staff and locals greeted Eddie warmly, clearly showing how well-liked and respected he is. His knowledge of wildlife, local culture, and politics was impressive, and he answered all our questions with ease. Thanks to Eddie, we had fantastic game drives and excursions and truly felt we saw everything we could have hoped for—and more.
Our only disappointment was the vehicle. We paid approximately USD 700 extra to upgrade from a minibus to a Land Cruiser (or similar). While we did receive a Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof, it was a standard SUV rather than one of the larger, safari-specific vehicles shown on Kajie Safaris’ Instagram (which most other tourists had). That was probably a communication error on our end. However, the vehicle did not have air conditioning. Despite driving with the windows fully down, it was still very warm inside, especially during long stretches on the highway. This resulted in long, uncomfortable drives with wind buffeting, significant dust inside the car, and heavy truck traffic passing close by. Even if we wanted to roll up the windows, the door window tint was so dark you could hardly see out. Given that several drives lasted over six hours, air conditioning would have made a substantial difference in comfort. At this price point, we had expected AC would be included, and we were therefore quite disappointed with the upgraded vehicle.
In conclusion, we are very happy that we chose Kajie Safaris, but we would require a car with AC next time at that price point, or not pay to upgrade. The landscapes, wildlife, lodges, planning, and especially our guide made this an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we would absolutely recommend Kajie Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Uganda.
If I could change one thing about Kajie Safaris - we would have stayed longer.
I approached 3 Safari companies to compile an itinerary in Uganda. Kajie were the first to respond, had the most comprehensive program/quote and were very easy to talk to and flexible when planning. It was an easy choice to pick Kajie.
We were collected at the airport by Benjamin and he was our guide for the 7 days. Uganda was everything we wanted and then some. Due to the nature of our program we had a lot of driving between our main attractions. Rhino, Chimps and Gorillas. Ben was an awesome driver, knowledgeable and safe. The accomodation and trip was amazing and everything was flawless. My family have already asked if I would recommend Kajie and it’s a resounding yes.
We will go back to Uganda and we will use Kajie again.

Responsible, safe and well organized tour company
We had an outstanding experience with Kajie Safaris travel agency during our 6 days tour from Rwanda to Uganda. The entire itinerary (Kigali, Golden Monkeys trekking, Gorilla trekking, Safari in Queen Elizabeth Park, Water safari on Kazinga Channel, Chimpanzees trekking in Kibale and Kampala) was excellently planned and professionally executed. All logistics were handled seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the journey without any concerns.
The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the gorilla trek, which was a truly unforgettable experience. The safari was equally impressive, offering exceptional wildlife encounters in stunning natural settings.
We would especially like to commend our guide, Sulait, for his exceptional service. He was highly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the tour. His expertise, clear communication, and genuine care for our comfort and safety greatly enhanced the overall experience.
We highly recommend Kajie Safaris as travel agency and Sulait as tour guide to anyone seeking a well-organized, high-quality safari and gorilla trekking experience in Rwanda and Uganda. We would not hesitate to travel with Kajie Safaris again in the future.

Outstanding
I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing this company is! From the minute I contacted them I knew they were the ones for our big trip to Uganda.
Ronald the tour operator owner was so efficient, honest, trustworthy and kind. I briefly spoke with him before we booked and his kindness was why I chose Kajie. I just knew that they would be great. Ronald was incredibly helpful with flights, vaccines, visa requirements etc.
Once we arrived in Uganda we met our absolutely incredible driver Edwin! He was so much fun, an incredible driver, we never felt unsafe, he was attentive and such a gentleman to my daughter and I. We ate many meals together and we even celebrated my 57 birthday together. Edwin even got me a gift❤️. I can’t say enough about him.
The lodges were stunning, fantastic staff and incredible food. The meals were all al a carte. We felt as though we were fine dining nightly.
I would highly recommend booking with Kajie. There isn’t one negative thing I could say about them. Everything was FANTASTIC!

Perfect Safari!
We had a most incredible safari during a 12-day-tour!
Everything was perfect organized, all our wishes were respected and fulfilled.
All the lodges we had been were very nice, comfortable with good service and excellent food.
Our guide and driver Baluku was fantastic! He did everything to provide us a great time. He is an excellent driver, we felt very safely! He was funny and he enthusiastically told us a lot about Uganda an the wildlife. And he did know the best places, so we could see plenty of animals. We had a very good time together! We are very thankful and wish Baluku and the Kajie-team all the best - you are the BEST!
