Pamoja Tours Wonderful 14 day Uganda Safari
We did a 14-day Uganda Safari with Gorillas, Chimps and Wildlife Luxury Safari. Our itinerary was customized a bit from the original plan, and Pamoja Tours was very flexible in adapting it to exactly what we wanted.
Regina at Pamoja was wonderful to work with during the planning process. She offered thoughtful advice and clear options as we worked through what we wanted to see and do, and the type of accommodations that best suited us. We invited another couple to join us, so there were four of us traveling together, which worked out beautifully.
We were picked up at the airport by Amos, who was easily one of the best guides we’ve had across more than five African safari trips in seven different countries. Amos was with us for the entire journey and was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and well trained. Beyond that, he was attentive, calm, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience every single day.
From a safety and logistics standpoint, everything was handled smoothly — vehicles were well maintained, driving was careful, park procedures were clearly explained, and we always felt safe, well informed, and well looked after.
The itinerary covered a wonderful range of Uganda’s national parks and landscapes, each with its own character. We spent time in Murchison Falls National Park, where game drives and a boat cruise along the Nile gave us close-up views of elephants, giraffes, hippos, and crocodiles, capped off by the dramatic sight of the Nile forcing its way through the narrow gorge at the falls.
In Kibale Forest National Park, we experienced chimp trekking and chimp habituation, which was intense, fascinating, and incredibly rewarding. Watching the chimps up close in their natural environment was unforgettable.
We also visited Queen Elizabeth National Park, where classic savanna game drives were paired with a boat safari on the Kazinga Channel. The density of wildlife along the water — hippos, buffalo, elephants, and countless birds — was remarkable.
The journey concluded in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, the highlight for us and the primary reason for the trip: mountain gorilla trekking.
Our accommodations overall were wonderful. One one-night stay did not quite meet our expectations, but it had an incredible view that helped offset the shortcoming. Aside from that, the lodges were clean and comfortable, the food was consistently good, and the staff everywhere made us feel welcome and genuinely interested in our having a great stay.
We experienced everything you hope for on a safari vacation — morning game drives, afternoon and evening drives, and even boat-based game viewing. Each park felt distinct, which kept the trip engaging from start to finish.
The true highlights for us were seeing the chimpanzees and the gorillas. We did the chimp habituation first, and it was physically challenging (we are in our late 70s), to the point where we were unsure how we would manage the more demanding gorilla habituation trek.
This is where Amos truly went above and beyond. He arranged what they affectionately call an “Ugandan helicopter” for my wife — a sturdy chair carried by porters using poles. It took a total of 16 porters to make the trek possible. The cost was very reasonable ($300 plus tip), and since seeing the gorillas was a primary reason for the trip, it was an absolutely perfect solution.
One of our friends also had knee trouble on the steep terrain, and another “helicopter” was quickly arranged to assist him as well. Everyone involved was kind, patient, and genuinely happy to help us achieve what was truly a trip of a lifetime.
We would highly recommend Pamoja Tours and Travel for this type of safari and would not hesitate to use them again for other destinations. This was a memorable, well-run, and deeply rewarding experience from start to finish.
Pamoja Tours and Travel provides me with an experience of a lifetime.
Even though it was short notice Gina planned an amazing trip for me from Kampala. She handled all the details and provided me with an incredible experience. Hez, my guide, did an amazing job and was such a fun person to travel with. His driving was safe and the places and animals he showed me were more than I ever could have imagined. Pamoja Tours made my first trip to Uganda an experience I'll never forget and I'm looking forward to my next visit.
Real professionals with fantastic communication, an amazing itinerary, and unparalleled knowledge
We had the trip of a lifetime with Pamoja Tours and Travel and our fantastic guide, Amos.
The itinerary was expertly crafted by the Pamoja team, taking us across Uganda's stunning landscapes and giving us so many memorable moments (the itinerary can be flexibly customised to fit your needs). The communication from Pamoja was always seamless, the accommodation choices were spot on, and the wildlife encounters exceeded our expectations.
What was particularly noticeable was the knowledge and professionalism of our guide Amos regarding the local flora and fauna - we learned an incredible amount during our 9 day trip and that was thanks to Amos answering our endless list of questions and sharing his knowledge with us.
I would recommend this operator to anyone wanting a really professional and high-quality safari experience.
He was flexible
My family went to Uganda to visit our brother who is a religious. We had Pamjola take us on a tour and they were fabulous. Our driver Sam was excellent. Highly recommended.

A fabulous 9 day Ugandan safari with Pamoja Tours and Travel who were excellent in every respect.
My wife, son and his girlfriend- now fiancee- had a fabulous 9 day safari in Uganda with Pamoja Tours and Travel. Pamoja and our guide Amos were outstanding - communication pre trip was excellent and Amos was fantastic - very knowledgeable on all things wildlife and Uganda generally, a good driver and excellent company. The highlights were the 4 hours we spent with the chimpanzees on the habituation tour, the early morning game drives and the Murchison falls and Nile river. We saw the big five and many, many other impressive animals. Uganda was fascinating to drive through and seeing how other people live. For anyone thinking about a safari I would thoroughly recommend Uganda and Pamoja tours...who also take people to Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania... it was one of those 'trips of a lifetime'!
