The organisation of the trip went very smoothly
Our five day, four night tour included an unforgettable meeting with gorillas for one hour, a boat trip seeing more than 100 hippos, a lovely walk where we were lucky enough to get close up of a chimpanzee and other minor highlights. These memories will stay with us forever and I would recommend this tour. We were also blessed to have an incredible guide who attended to our every request, was always happy, very knowledgeable and was great company. Generally the accommodation was first rate. Perhaps the only downside was there is a lot of driving (day one was nearly 12 hours and days 5 over 8 hours and two other days had more the 4 hours driving.) This was not helped by some minor problems with the vehicle. That said the trip was a great experience and we are tempted to return and see more of beautiful Uganda.
Reliable, honest, hardworking and enjoyable to be around
Fantastic tour. Organised and trip of a life time
A dream honeymoon, a dream trip - book with Buyaga and go to Uganda!
Where do I start with how wonderful Buyaga Safaris is...and Uganda as a country!
After reading all the excellent reviews on here, and Google, I decided to contact Peter at Buyaga to get a quote for our honeymoon as I was especially keen to support a Ugandan led and based company, and I'm so glad I did. Peter was so responsive from the off, understanding our brief, sharing an incredible itinerary and at a remarkably reasonable price, and swiftly replying to all queries before departure. Including a panicked call from us 3 hours before we were due to leave for the airport having discovered we'd not secured the necessary visa - which, as he was in country, was able to help us with at speed and ultimately saved our whole honeymoon! (Thanks again, Peter!!)
The trip itself was beyond all our wildest dreams. We were made to feel like VIP's from the moment we arrived thanks to our excellent guide, Simpson who was just superb in every way. Funny, interesting, patient, an excellent driver, and a general dream to travel with for two weeks.
The accommodation we stayed at was superb. Delicious food, very warm, welcoming staff (that's Uganda for you!) and mind blowing views every where we went. The river Nile, rain forests, savannah national parks, lakes - each hotel had something new to offer so it became impossible to compare them as they were all so superb.
The trips were phenomenal too. Safari breakfasts and dinners on the shores of Lake Albert, chimp treks, gorilla treks, Golden Monkey treks, swamp treks, nature walks up close with the giraffes of Mburo national park, swimming in Lake Bunyonyi, and more. Every day just felt like a new dream was being realised.
We couldn't have imagined anything better for our Honeymoon. Buyaga sorted us out perfectly, and Uganda is a country that has it all - safari, rainforest, primates and apes, lakes, delicious food, wonderfully warm people and so much more.
Book with Buyaga, you won't be disappointed.

Very nice people, well organised, super trip
The communication from home was very accurate and precise. We were followed for every questions and doubts. It was one of the best prices I found on SafariBookings. Eric was our guide and he was really kind and helpful. The tour itself was very very nice. The places are amazing and every stage was pretty well organised. The most beautiful things about the journey were the lodges. They were almost luxury lodges, at a normal price. And the period was perfect beacuse we were almost alone, also at the gorilla trekking. I will do it again with this company for sure.

My best African safari to date!
I've done safaris in Kenya, Botswana, and South Africa, but none have come close to my wonderful experience in Uganda. From the start, Peter at Buyaga Safaris helped me plan all aspects of my 8-day safari, fielded all my questions, and exercised the utmost professionalism. He even checked on my visa application for me when it seemed to be taking too long. Then, once I arrived, I was met by Ossman, a vibrant, smart, and capable tourguide and driver who made my wild-cat dreams come through: we spotted 14 lions and my first leopard! Ossman took care of everything perfectly, and I just had to show up, relax, and enjoy the experience. The vehicle was really nice also. All in all 10/10, I highly recommend Buyaga.
