The best safari ever
5/5


I had a wonderful experience with Winter, he is amazing, he drives very good and he stopped every time I wanted to buy something in the gas station, he stayed all the time I wanted to Take photos of the animals and stop every time I see something, even the same eagle Múltiple times he said "you want to Take a picture?" All times. We saw leopard and genet Cat in the night safari, shoebill in mabamba, red tail colobus in bigodi.... I would recommend Amakula African safaris and repeat this trip all my Life if I could.

Fantastic safari of 15 days with Amakula
5/5

I cannot say enough about how absolutely beautiful Uganda is and how grateful we are to Amakula African Safaris for making our trip here so amazing. Do not hesitate to book with Amakula! My sister and I did the 15 day 14night trip that includes Chimp and Gorilla trekking. I got a lot of quotes from other tour groups and Amakula by far came in as the most reasonable price. Our driver/guide Boaz was beyond amazing, I cannot say enough about how great he made our trip. He was so genuinly nice and shared so much about Uganda. He took such good care of us the whole trip and even helped us get placed in an easy hike for the gorillas because of some health problems. He was a great driver, I was very confident in his skills and was never uncomfortable even on some scary small crazy roads at night! I have been lucky enough to travel all over the world and I can say Goodwin has been the best driver/guide I have ever had, Amakula African Safaris is lucky to have him. We all got a little sad to say goodbye after our 15 days together. All the hotels were great, we were actually upgraded to a nicer hotel for our first one without even knowing until we got there! The one thing to keep in mind though when booking is that this exact trip is a LOT of driving because you are covering a lot in just a few days. Make sure to pay attention to the drive times your driver gives you not what is on your itinerary. Our itinerary said 5-6 hours each day but the actual drive times were 6 hours and there wasnt any additional traffic or anything, that was the normal drive time. After speaking to some other travelors from other tour groups, listing shorter drive times seems to be the norm for Uganda. The drives are beautiful and scenic and you get to go through a lot of small villages and the van is uper comfortable, so its totally worth it but just be preapred you are barely at the hotels. If you have the time and money to add an extra day I would add a day between the chimps and the gorillas so you are not starting an 8 hr drive after finishing the chimps that way you are not arriving at the beuatiful Gorilla hotels at 8-9 pm. This way you get to spend some time at the nice hotels and enjoy their views!

My everlasting memories with Amakula
5/5

14 - Days Uganda Gorillas, Chimpanzee, Wildlife Safari in Kenya and Tanzania

As a solo traveler, I had an incredible two-week safari with Amakula African Safaris through Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. The chimpanzee and gorilla trekking in Uganda were unforgettable and the perfect start to the trip. From my first inquiry, Ibrahim was responsive, organized, and helpful. The itinerary and accommodations were seamless. Adison, my guide in Uganda, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the Ugandan part of the journey the highlight of my trip. I was especially impressed when a personal item I accidentally left behind at a hotel was tracked down, passed through several hands, and returned to me two days later with no stress at all. That level of care really stood out, he was brilliant . In Tanzania, Ben was equally fantastic, friendly and informative. In Kenya, one guide seemed distracted and less engaging. But overall, I saw every animal listed on the itinerary and even witnessed the great migration crossing the Mara River. I highly recommend Amakula African Safaris to solo travelers for a personal touch, even checking to see I’d arrived home safely. Also great for couples and families. For a well-organized, unforgettable adventure in East Africa, it’s an excellent choice.

The Best 11 Days safari in Uganda Ever
5/5

11 Days Gorillas and Chimpanzees

Wonderful trip, magnificent itinerary, and the perfect guide. We had wanted to visit Uganda for quite some time, and after considering several companies, we chose Amakula African Safaris. They suggested an itinerary tailored to the number of days we planned to spend there, allowing us to really get to know the country.

They recommended Arafat as our guide, travel companion, and driver. His professionalism, friendliness, and good-humoured, along with his determination to make sure everything went smoothly and that we came away with the best possible memories, made the entire journey truly special. We especially appreciated his flexibility and the fact that he was always willing to listen and adjust the plans whenever possible.

We felt very comfortable travelling with him and really enjoyed our time in Uganda. It wasn't an adventure trip as such, but travelling around the country was an adventure in itself.

Memorable trip with an excellent tour guide
5/5

A trip like this is a big investment in a lifetime experience and I have to admit to being a little bit nervous about how it would turn out. I needn't have worried. Simon gave us a nice welcome at the airport and helped us to get ourselves organised on day one despite us arriving at stupid o'clock in the morning. We had a 12-day itinerary which included travelling to Rwanda as well as the must-see areas in Uganda. The highlights for me were Bwindi National Park for the gorilla trekking, the boat cruise in the Kazinga Channel and of course Murchison Falls. Our guide Hilary was exactly the type of guy we needed for this: he was very knowledgeable about all aspects of our experience, as you would expect, with lots of great stories to tell us about Uganda and Rwanda while we travelled. He was calm, patient and well organised, and able to make arrangements effectively to ensure that everything went smoothly. We must have asked him a thousand silly questions, and he dealt with them like a boss. On top of that he clicked with our sense of humour so the long drives between locations became a pleasure and part of the whole experience. If we go back, it will be with him as our guide, for sure. Our sincere thanks to everyone at Amakula for making our trip so memorable.
