Uniquely Ugandan
All absolutely brilliant. When we were setting up the trip, we told Johnnie what we wanted to do, and he advised us well, because we had not really considered travel times. So we ended up with a fantastic trip seeing the places and most of the birds we wanted to, AND we had good days travelling between the places so that we also had time for some birding. Johnnie is a fantastic bird guide, and the local guides he used in the different areas were also great. Johnnie was really good at getting us onto the birds, and had much information on them. I thought it was wonderful he found me a location where I could see a Rhinoceros Viper, and that came from a chance comment of mine one evening. It was an amazing birding trip, and I loved the way Johnnie looked after us, and checked everything was OK, including finding the drinks we wanted (!), and collecting us from and dropping us off at the airport to ensure that everything was all right. He and his wife are marvelous company, and as well as a great wildlife experience, we had a really fun time. I am primarily a birder, but one of the good things about this trip was that Johnnie could also talk about and show us other animals - he's even co-authored a butterfly book! I loved being on a birding trip where other animals are important too. This was our second trip with Johnie - we enjoyed the first one so much, that we just had to come back.
Johnnie makes every safari an ineffably beautiful, enriching and spectacular experience!
GREAT - everything was well-executed and lived up to expectations, and even exceeded them.
The best birding in Uganda
Johnnie organised a special tour for us to visit little-known birding destinations Semuliki, , Kidepo and Pian Upe, as well as taking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Budongo Forest along the way. Johnnie goes out of his way to make sure his guests get excellent birding as well as taking care of us regarding accommodation, food and other amenities. Johnnie is great company and has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share on East African birding.
Congratulations! You have found the BEST tour company in Uganda!
I came to Uganda to film endangered African Grey parrots living in the wild. I am not a traveller and was nervous about leaving home, but after touring Uganda with Team Johnnie and Agnes I cannot wait to come back! Johnnie Uganda Safaris is a family-friendly, conservation-focused, reliable, and trustworthy tour company. From parrots to chimps to elephants and even gorillas- Johnnie and Agnes will safely pull you out of your comfort zone to experience the world of animals as God intended them to live- FREE. Please support knowledgeble, eco-friendly companies like this one and let’s ALL do our part to educate ourselves and show our children gratitude and reverence for the natural world.
Cordial, experienced, attention to detail, amicable, adventurous, timely, humble, excellent.
Communications are timely, courteous, and spot on.
They do more than what they are paid to do. They do that which a tourist like me may not see but due to their experience they know it shall be great for me. personally they exceeded my expectations and set the bar so high that the experiences i had before on safari are paling in comparison to the Johnnie Uganda Safaris experience. they took so many memorable photos of me that i have become so popular and revered because of my trip with them. Johnie is so knowledgeable that by the time i came back from safari its like i knew so much about birds, mammals, there behavior, the myths about them, different language greetings and even had an insatiable appetite for safari. The meal places were amazing accommodation was unique, i did not have any food poisoning whatsoever, i felt safe in the wild and slept like a baby. i also got time to meditate and actualize myself on the trip.
They are really good at managing time!
i got to see lions which in some places are not easy to locate, i was so up-close it felt like in the movies.
when i returned from Safari i learned that others who had gone to "safari" had not had a tenth of my experience and all wanted to tour again- this time with Johnnie Uganda Safaris.
i am now referred to as "the domestic tourist".
