5/5

Our safari was booked very last minute. Despite traveling during the high season, Kubwa Five found us amazing lodgings and hugely experienced guides. The experience was a trip of a lifetime. As first time travelers to Africa, it would have been impossible to put together such a fantastic trip on our own. We very highly recommend them.

Professional trustworthy Uganda owned company operating in multiple African countries.
5/5

We decided on the 19 day Kubwa Five safari of Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania in July 2025 because of their great reviews, they operate in multiple countries, and are a Uganda owned company. A guide from another tour company advised you pay more using a travel agent. I’ve been to Southern Africa and Tsavo west in Kenya before, but this was by far my best trip. In Uganda we met the friendliest people with smiles on their faces. I’m 70, so comfort was important and we chose the top end hotel option. Most were very good, some better than others. I found Wise the best low cost way to transfer payment.

Highlights of Uganda included Murchison Falls, Chimpanzees in Kibale, Gorillas in the Bwindi impenetrable forest. The Batwa cultural tour and orphanage visit moved us. Our Uganda guide, Mustafa has been driving for 8 years which is important as some of the roads can be bumpy with no signs. Mustafa was outstanding, going out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our trip. He found tree climbing lions in Murchison Falls and shoebill storks on the last day driving back to Entebbe.

In Kenya we saw an abundance of wildlife on the boat ride at Lake Naivasha staying at one of the best hotels, SOPA. The balloon ride in Maasai Mara was another memorable experience. We were apprehensive at first. Once floating gently above, we saw herds of wildebeest and zebra, along with lions with their kill. The cultural visit to the Maasai Mara was disappointing as they asked for money for everything although we got a taste as to how they live. I bought a lot of souvenirs to be shipped to Australia and could have used some advice on how to bargain.

It was a long bumpy ride from Kenya to Tanzania where we got a new driver. We tried twice unsuccessfully to see the wildebeest crossing the Mara river at the Maasai Mara and northern Serengeti. I convinced my wife to go on the early morning drive in the northern Serengeti where there are fewer safari vehicles. We were rewarded with an incredible experience, herds of Wildabeest crossing the crocodile infested Mara river. Our driver got us in a great position for taking photos.

Not once did we feel in danger from animals or people. We hardly had any insect bites, perhaps because it was the dry season. We were put in the group of gorillas not requiring a long hike and it only took 5 minutes to spot them. If you love nature, wildlife, and meeting people of different cultures and have an adventurous spirit, Kubwa Five is for you.

Informed birder who knew much about Namibia

Our tour of Namibia, July 9-23, 2025; Kubwa Five Safari
We made a whirlwind tour of Namibia beginning in Windhoek. Our 2nd night was in the Kalahari desert where we went on an evening game drive and a sundowner with wonderful views over the acacia savannah. We then drove to Le Mirage in the Namibian desert for 2 nights including an incredible hot-air balloon ride over the desert. From there we drove to the coast for a boating tour of Walvis Bay and about 400,000 southern fur seals, and 100,000 Cape Cormorants. The afternoon was spent on a hair-raising tour of the dunes south of Walvis Bay in SUVs driven by skilled dune drivers. The next day we drove to Fwyfelfontain in the interior famed for extensive San petroglyphs and rock etchings, and on an evening game drive we found a herd of desert elephants that we followed to a waterhole. We visited a Damara community museum where we learned about customs of the Damara people and were treated to a community dance. From there we drove to Opuwo where we visited a Himba village where an interpreter helped us to communicate with Himba women. Our next night was at Epupa Falls on the Kunene River, Angola border. Our guide took us to the edge of the falls which was quite spectacular, and again a sundowner overlooking the falls. Then we returned via Opuwo to Hobatere Lodge on the western boundary of Ethosha National Park where we observed several lions at a waterhole adjacent to camp. We spent one night inside the park at Halali and observed black rhinos visiting a waterhole at night. Three days in Etosha were stunning with many waterhole visits with vast herds of wildlife including elephants, zebras, giraffes, kudu, lion, black and blue wildebeest, ostrich, and of course, thousands of springbok. Our last night was outside the Park in a wonderful Mushara bushcamp, our favourite accommodations of the entire trip. From there we spent a day at the Cheetah Conservation Fund property where we met with students and researchers at their excellent research facility. Our final night was at the spectacular Mt Etjo Safari Lodge where we tracked white rhinos on foot and encountered vast herds of wildlife including lions. Our tracking guide was brilliant.
Our guide, John, was a superb birder and naturalist. He made the trip truly rewarding.

4/5

Our guide and driver made the experience worth it for my nephew (6 year old) for whom the Safari was for. Mufasa like my nephew called him answered all his questions and made sure that he was safe.

Well organized and efficient!
5/5

Kubwa Five and their in country person Sylvia, of Ompo travel really delivered on an adventurous trip that took us through the diverse terrains of Namibia and showed them in all their glory. Our guide and driver, John was excellent, he was an outstanding birder which we really appreciated, and patient and helpful in supporting us through all our activities.

Great trip, great service, I would definitely recommend them to others planning a trip to Namibia !
