Excellent tour, with very friendly services

5/5

This was a bucket list trip for my partner and I, we went in August. Buyaga Safaris exceeded all expectations. Peter was so easy to communicate with, responding within minutes each time. The whole itinerary was exciting and each day just got better and better. Apton our guide made our holiday, he was so knowledgeable on all the animals and activities we were doing. We formed a lovely friendship with him and are still in contact with him to this day. I will be recommending Apton for future tours to my friends and family. We booked a private tour for 12 days and for the price we paid we can't fault it. Buyaga Safaris also organised a birthday cake for my partners 30th birthday which was such a nice gesture. highly recommend this tour service.

Fantastic Experience and excellent Reliable Service

5/5

We were 3 people and went on a 9 day tour in which we saw all the big 5, chimpanzees and mountain gorillas. It was a fantastic experience.

Communication with the company was outstanding, we usually received an answer to our messages and questions within minutes.

Our guide was great too. Besides being friendly, explaining well, and trying his best to accomodate our wishes he even took us on an extra game drive, to see zebras, and he helped us look for a camera battery. The vehicle had air conditioning, was very comfortable and enough water was always provided.

The lodges were great too and provided vegan / vegetarian food options, although it was almost always vegetables with some sort of carbs (rice, potatoes, matoke, etc.). More variety would have been appreciated. Also, the introductory briefings in the lodges were often unnecessarily long, especially after having had a long drive or day you just want to know the basic things. Not in all places it was possible to move outside the lodges freely, mostly because of wild animals. For someone that enjoys running that was not ideal, but it total I could go 3 times.

Value for money is excellent. Gorilla permits and chimpanzee permits are very expensive, subtracting that, the prize per person was excellent.

All in all we can really recommend the experience.

A perfect safari in Uganda from start to finish — thank you, Peter and Anderson!

5/5

Everything was excellent from the very first moment. I contacted several agencies before deciding, and Peter was without a doubt the best of them all: he put together the most optimised route, with the best hotels and at the best price. You can tell he knows exactly what he’s doing. Always attentive, friendly and helpful, answering everything with endless patience.

One thing I especially want to highlight: because of the Ebola situation we had to cancel the trip initially. Peter gave us all the options, including postponing it to 2027, and once the country was declared Ebola-free we were able to pick the safari back up straight away. He made everything as easy as possible for us and gave us all the information we needed at every step. We didn’t have to worry about a thing.

And our guide, Anderson, was fantastic. We were delighted with him throughout the whole trip. Everything was so easy, so well organised, and an unforgettable experience. I recommend Buyaga Safaris one hundred percent.

A dream come true in a 11 days tour in Uganda

5/5

We organized an 11-day tour of Uganda with Buyaga Safaris, allowing us to visit this wonderful country from north to south. Our driver/guide, Braiton, was excellent, always punctual, available, and ready to answer any of our questions and accommodate our needs as best as possible. Furthermore, despite the difficult Ugandan roads, especially those accessing the various parks, and the long drive, he proved to be an excellent driver (again, it was a great pleasure). The hotels we booked were excellent, some even exceeding our expectations. The only downside (if there was one) is that the chimpanzee tour was scheduled for the morning, but we went in the afternoon and only learned about it the night before. So, a tip is to indicate in the program that the chimpanzee trek can be done either in the morning or afternoon. Overall, the overall price—even compared to those offered by other companies—seemed very fair. We are happy with this trip and hope to return to Uganda soon!

Unforgettable experience…

5/5

Twelve truly beautifull days, impeccably organized. Every detail was managed with great precision and care, which allowed us to experience the trip with complete peace of mind. A special thanks goes to Osman, who accompanied us throughout this experience. A very friendly, kind, polite, always professional, punctual, helpful guy, and deeply attentive to ensuring we experienced this wonderful country in the best possible way. He does this job with immense passion.
Definitely consider coming to Uganda because it is a truly unmissable experience!
