It was a great tour and really fun

5/5

First of all, it was a strange feeling to pay so much money in advance without ever having met anyone..., but it all worked reliably! My guide Anderson was a really good and safe driver, knew very well, always punctual, reliable and friendly. The accommodations were always very nice and I always felt very comfortable. If you had something to complain about, then maybe that the car was a bus and not a safari jeep, but at the low price it was of course completely fine! I would do the safari just like that again!
At last I would like to thank Anderson for the great time and the wonderful animals I was able to see :)

A new world wonder every day

5/5

Uganda with Buyaga Safari trip exceeded all our expectations. I completely changed my idea about Africa. This country's astonishing beauty is amazing!!! And people are so nice!!
Our biggest surprise was that everybody speaks English.
Buyaga planed our journey so, that practically every day brought us great surprises. When I thought we saw it all, no way to surprise me anymore, I got more and more amazing things.
All our hotels and lounges were just fantastic!!! Food was excellent.
Erik is a grate guide! He really did his best.
He is a good driver, nice person and reliable guide. Also very punctual. Every single point of our agenda was fulfilled 100%.
To be short: Uganda is my favorite country for now.
My advise: bring your binoculars and a lot of cash in small dollar bills for tips.
These people are so nice and they are doing their job so well that you will want to reward them.

Absolutely great

5/5

I started planning my trip to Uganda 11 months before departure. I contacted several agencies on Safaribookings.com and Peter from Buyaga safaris responded almost immediately. I was a little worried at first because it was a smaller agency, but I was convinced by the speed of responses and the flexibility to adapt the program to my needs and interests. I followed Peter's recommendation and changed the planned date of my visit to Uganda and I was happy for Peter's notes and recommendations for individual sections of our trip. His advice was absolutely great because he himself used to work as a guide. For the trip itself, he provided us with a great guide Azariyah and a Toyota Landcruiser 4x4. Although July is the driest month, regular night rains made traveling somewhat complicated, especially in N.P. Murchison falls and N.P. Queen Elizabeth. 4x4 drive was a great advantage, sometimes even a necessity. Guide Azaryiyah was an amazing driver, he managed both difficult terrain and complicated traffic in cities. He was an invaluable helper for my photography and as a former UWA ranger he had a lot of experience in wildlife watching. Thank you Azaryiah for the leopards and lions, for his care throughout the trip and for his patience in waiting for the best shot. When I return to Uganda I will definitely choose Buyaga safaris again and I will be happy to have Azaryiah as my guide.

Warmhearted Tour with caring operators

5/5

We did the 10day Tour in September 2025 and booked with 3 month notice. Peter was very responsive and answered all our questions and concerns within a very short time. We did the tour itself with Simpson and really enjoyed the ride with him. He was very caring and always looked after our wellbeeing, answered all our questions and Responded to special needs. He made sure we were always on time but also had some buffer to not be in a hurry. We appreaciate his kindness and enjoyed the tour together!

Amazing Tour & Safari Experience with Exceptional Staff (Especially Deneson)

5/5

The whole tour was amazing. We did a 5 day Entebbe to Kigali tour with safari, boat safari, Chimp trekking & Gorilla trekking, led by our guide, Deneson. From first getting in contact with Buyaga we dealt with Peter. Peter was brilliant! He always replied so quick to any questions and was so helpful & friendly. It was really easy to deal with him & made the experience even nicer. The tour itself was incredible, the main thing we wanted to do was the Gorilla trek which we had high expectations for and it absolutely lived up to it, we got to see a family including a silverback & a 3 month baby so close. The other safaris were also brilliant and made the whole trip unforgettable. Our guide Deneson made the trip! He was so friendly and thoughtful. You could really tell he cared about his job and made every effort to make sure we had the best time! He was also so personable, making sure we were ok and asking questions about us and taking an interest in our lives. After we told him it was our honeymoon he called ahead to each accommodation and got them to make up the rooms for us with congratulation messages. On the safari he was incredible at spotting & finding animals. He spotted a leopard in the trees and we also saw two lions before leaving. We've been on a few tours like this and Deneson was by far the best guide we've ever had!
