Great experience, very professional and excellent guide: Smith. Would recommend
I did the 3-day Habituation with gorillas and it was a great experience, I felt I received good value for my money. Specially the guide Smith made my solo experience very enjoyable. He was well prepared, very kind and organized everything from beginning to end.
Small remark: I would’ve liked more communication from the offices before the trip started, I had to ask them for pickup time, guide name and all additional info on my arrival to Rwanda, the night before the tour started.
Apart from that, once the tour started, it was all well organized and executed. Would definitely recommend
A highly recommended 5 Star Company.
Ngoni delivered the most incredible experience I have had whilst travelling solo.
Booking and arranging the trip was easy; Sedrick took care of everything for me.
Tour options were varied and exciting.
I opted for the 8 day tour which included a chimp trek, game drives and gorilla trekking and was fortunate to be guided by Reagan.
Is there anything about East Africa this incredible man does not know?
Wow.
I will be hoping to return again next year.
For anyone who is considering planning a visit to Uganda for the experience of a lifetime, I say BOOK WITH NGONI…
Professional & Value for Money
Before choosing Ngoni we researched many other companies. Sedrick was very helpful with planning our itinerary and delivered not only a great itinerary but all the information that we needed, when we needed it.
We chose mid range lodges and all were good and each had their own character, special mention must go to Turaco TreeTops in Kibale and Kigarama at Lake Mburo. We loved the viewing deck & resident elephants at Buffalo Lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park and the lake view at Lake Mulehe Safari lodge in Mgahinga National Park. Each of the lodges were in great locations for the days activities.
Our Driver & Guide Reagan met us at the Airport on arrival and gave us a briefing for our safari the next day before dropping us at our hotel to rest after our long flight, we found him to be a very respectful and caring person.
Everyday was an amazing adventure and Reagan worked hard to ensure we got the best out of each experience from game drives to Chimpanzee & Gorilla Trekking, leopards, climbing lions & local villages. He was an excellent and safe driver throughout our 15 day trip with all the different roads we had to endure, highway, winding, lots of gravel & rocks and a million speed bumps 😂, along the way sharing a lot about the way of life of Ugandan people.
Reagan started as our Safari guide and driver and ended as our friend, we are so happy to have met him and learn about Uganda, Pearl of Africa.

Flexible, fantastic, best guides!
Upon arrival in Rwanda, we were greeted by our first guide, Smith, who stayed with us for the 5 first days in Rwanda. Smith was from the beginning very friendly and when we arrived in our first hotel, it seemed that the booking did not came through, but he arranged it very professionally so we would not notice anything.
The next days we were guided by him were very fun. He was always smiling and making jokes etc. Also, as this was a private tour, we could adapt if needed. For example, there was the Mount Bisoke hike foreseen but we were not really fit to be able to do this, so we could easily change this into the Diane Fossey trail.
After 5 days we had to say goodbye to Smith and we met our 2nd guide who would guide us for 10 days in Uganda, Stephen. But we could not leave Smith before we had a piece of his birthday cake together.
We told Stephen he had a hard job to match to Smith's enthousiasm, but we felt from the beginning that this would not be a problem.
Stephen's knowledge about Uganda was from a very high level. In the 10 days we spend time together he NEVER used a navigator and we always arrived on our destinations without any issues. Also did he know a lot about the politcal/historical facts for Uganda and Eastern Africa.
Stephen was very flexible in the planning (together with the main office of NGONI Safaris). Because we had some issues due to medical reasons to do a lot of and difficult hikes. So he would do his outmost to get us on the easiest trails to track Gorillas or Chimps. During the game drives, he made it happen for us to see multiple leopards and lionesses.
As we forgot a bag with important medication in on of the lodges, he also made it happen that these were brought to us a couple days later together with a guide who was also coming our way (we did the reverse tour of Uganda so it was a bit of a challenge).
To sum up the 2 weeks we spend in Rwanda and Uganda, we could not have any better guides who were this flexible and compassionate and who did their job with more than full of their hearts.
Big thumbs up to Ngoni putting us in Smit's and Stephen's guidance.

You’d be lucky to end up with Smith- only operator you’d want!
Words can’t do justice to this 4-day adventure in Rwanda. Imagine being just 2 feet away from a family of Silverbacks (…we’re talking about 17), surrounded by the beauty of Rwanda’s forests. Our guide, Smith, was an absolute gem— incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and endlessly energetic. He became more than a guide—he was our protector and brother. He made the entire journey feel seamless and special, from exploring local markets, the genocide memorial, to the awe-inspiring chimpanzee and gorilla trekking. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our engagement. We’ll definitely be using them again for Uganda next year!
