Organized, Professional, Friendly
Jon was recommended to me by a friend after the operator I had been planning with for several months suddenly stopped replying to my communications. Within a week, Jon had organized a great itinerary around my preferences and time constraints. We did everything we wanted to do and had incredible encounters with both Chimpanzees and Gorillas. My only regret is that I didn't have more time.
Jon is very organized and has the experience you want/need in a safari operator. He's also very friendly, which made the long drives pass more easily.
Johnny is professional, prompt with visible years of experience in tourism
This was an excellent experience overall. Johnny as a tour guide is trustworthy, punctual and very helpful. Johnny communication was excellent throughout our process. We were initially looking at a tour in Tanzania, however the cost comparison, level of professionalism and knowledge was unmatched. So, we chose the tour with Johnny. We received a full list of items that helped us navigate our way around visas, clothing options and vaccines. Uganda is stunningly beautiful, from our lodges to our activities, the experience overall was very unique. Going to see the chimpanzee and the gorillas is an experience one has to do atleast ones in a life time. Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for that unique blend of safari experiences. What you get from this tour is total peace of mind with accommodation, food, activities, and a dedicated driver/tour guide who will be with you at every step of your trip.
Book your tour now, Johnny will not disappoint!
Extremely professional and knowledgeable with a great personality and friendly.
Trekking Chimpanzees is a one of a kind adventure. Coolest and most awe inspiring experience. Safaris by Jon excelled in planning and orchestrating the event. He clearly has contacts everywhere and was able to make our experience the best possible. I can't imagine trekking chimpanzees with anyone else. Jon went out of his way to make sure we had the best accommodations and the best trekking. He made sure to fulfill our every wish and every need. Thanks, Jon!!!!
I would recommend Safaris by Jon over and over again.
I will start by saying Uganda is amazing. Safaris by Jon was an excellent tour company. His email response time with any questions were answered very quickly and thoroughly. Jon picked us up at our hotel on time and we then toured the local Kampala attractions. We continued with our arranged tour with his tour guides Jerrod and Hillary. Both were exemplary. Their knowledge of Uganda was so good! We were thoroughly impressed with the entire tour. When considering Uganda we were concerned about the Level 2 travel advisory. Jon assured that Uganda was safe. We found this to be true every place we went. It is unfortunate that the government has not been able to reduce this advisory. We would recommend Uganda and Safaris by Jon over and over again. Bob and Carol Miller North Dakota USA.
Aussies on Safari with Jon
If Uganda isn't on your African itinerary I highly recommend it should be and also on that itinerary should be a trip run by "Safaris by Jon"
My partner and I booked a private safari with Jon and it was absolutely amazing, he picked us up from Entebbe Airport then we began our adventure out to the west side of Uganda as our first stop was Queen Elizabeth National Park. After a morning game drive we went out to see the Chimpanzees at Kyambura Gorge which was one of the best safari days you could ask for! The accommodation Jon booked for us was great and the food was beautiful!
After Queen Elizabeth we headed to Bwindi to see the Mountain Gorillas. Again Jon nailed it with our accommodation setting us up in a comfortable room in a lodge that does great food, the lodge also packs you lunch for when you are out Gorilla Trekking.
From Bwindi we spent our last night at Lake Bunyonyi, which is a peaceful place to kick back and relax and look at all the amazing photos from Safari.
If you are thinking about coming to Uganda and want a great Safari experience I would highly recommend reaching out to Jon! We really enjoyed our time with him!
On another note, the vehicle he took us on tour in was a 4x4 van with a pop top roof for safari drives so it was the perfect vehicle for roadtrip comfort and game drives.
