Incredible safari experience with guide Brighton of Buyaga Safaris!
From the very beginning, Peter was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. The pdf itinerary was very clear and detailed. The only slow response came when Uganda’s internet blacked out after the most recent election, which was completely outside of their control. We chose Buyaga Safaris because of the competitive pricing compared to other safari operators we had considered. When we arrived in Uganda, we met our guide Brighton, who picked us up promptly at our hostel. We feel very lucky to have had him as our safari guide, as he was friendly, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable about Uganda’s wildlife, history, and culture. He safely took us from place to place while staying very calm throughout the journey. It was the trip of a lifetime! We truly enjoyed trekking for chimpanzees, gorillas, and golden monkeys and seeing the other wildlife along the way. The hotels we were booked at were clean and comfortable with delicious meals and kind staff. We will be recommending Buyaga Safaris to all our friends and family!

Extraoridnary Life & Adventures with Guide Simpson!
I chose Buyaga Safaris off of safaribookings.com because they were the only listing that included Jinja and white water rafting on the Nile as part of a tour. The experience with Kiira Rafting was exceptional and very highly recommended. However the absolute, very best part of this adventure was having Simpson Niwagaba Vannet as my guide, driver, and someone I’ll consider a lifelong friend. Simpson was always prompt, professional, and very passionate and knowledgeable about the scheduled places we visited – and all the in-betweens for this aptly named ‘Pearl of Africa.’ We easily traveled over 1,500km/1,000 miles, making this as much an ultimate road trip as it was a safari and tour. He went above and beyond making other special arrangements, calling to fix permit problems, and had us up and running in less than an hour after the Jeep Land Cruiser stalled on the equator. Of 10 African countries visited so far, Uganda is now my new, overall favorite thanks to the beautiful places and wonderful people I met everywhere – like Simpson. If you’re looking to see and experience the real, raw Africa, with miles of smiles and endless music, look no further than booking an extraordinary Ugandan adventure with Simpson as your guide!
Excellent Safari with Buyaga Safaris
I had a wonderful time on my safari with Buyaga Safaris. Working with Peter before I left on my trip he always responded immediately to my questions and gave me thoughtful answers and reccomendations. My flight was delayed a day but we kept in contact and he was there to meet me at the airport.
My guide for my 11 day trip was Osmond. He was superb. Besides being very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the country, he made sure that I was having the best vacation/safari possible. He did this by making sure the vehicle was in the best position to get the best photos, knowing where best to go to spot the animals, and being flexible if I ever wanted to change anything. A pet peeve of mine with my last safari was my guide always wanting to leave the lodge at around 8AM. Not so with Osmond. I mentioned this to him and every single day we left the lodge when it was still dark out and we would catch the sunrise and the early morning wildlife. I also felt extremely safe with Osmond the whole trip. Highly reccomend him as your guide and Buyaga Safari for your tour.

Very honest and responsible
I did a 6 days safari including chimps and gorillas. Everything that was promised, was delivered. My guide Apton is a very responsible driver and provided a good experience. Peter was fast to reply to all my messages. The hotels varied a lot in standard, but overall, they were really nice.

Amazing 12 days in Uganda with guide Simpson
To start of, Uganda is probably the most diverse countries of all we have visited. Every place is like from different planet so there is no place for boredom. Our trip was organised well, we wouldn’t change anything (maybe we would add some morę days). Most of the lodges were insane, I mean - we probably wouldn’t choose that good by ourselves. Considering the price of the package - I would consider it very good in terms of value for money. Our guide Simpson was carying, engaged and he knew other guides so knew where to go on safaris. As for the trip rate - let photos speak for themsleves.
