Top organized
5/5

We just arrived at the airport after our Uganda experience with Ngoni. Uganda outranged all our expections. It was a once in a livetime experience. We we're able to See Chimps in Kibale, lion in Queen Elizabeth and finally the gentle Giants in Bwindi.
All those Moments were just mindblowing.
The organization done by Ngoni was perfect, and the selection of accomodations was amazing. Our Guide Gard was the top of all. He was a perfect Driver, so precise, we always felt 100% save. He was always always in time, always prepared, had always some more information and was always in a good mood to have a nice chat.
Thank you very much for everything
Greetings Markus and Larissa

Unbelievably good at his job
5/5

Very well organised tour. Hotels, food & days activities were well spaced out. Tour guides from our 3 groups (Reagan, Steve, Elly) all knew their stuff & made trip fun too. Reagan on the other hand is a step above them all with his knowledge of the place, the communities, for food & must of all any animal alive in Uganda. If you’re thinking of going there, don’t hesitate, it’s a trip of a lifetime.

Lost $6,400 with Ngoni Safari Tour Operator
1/5

The Ngoni Safaris Manager, Bwire, planned our 5-day Gorilla Trip in June. Bwire double charged me on my credit card for the trip and acknowledged his mistake but Ngoni Safaris refuses to refund me my money $$$. I verified this mistake in May 2025, when we received the trekking permits, and Bwire has assured me 4 times in the past 2 ½ months that he has corrected this error but Ngoni Safaris still fraudulently retains my money. Bwire has spent the duplicate $6400 and is unable to repay the money.

I am currently pursuing legal action through an attorney to recover these funds. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend that the company be suspended from safari listings until this matter is resolved.

Amazing
5/5

I recently had a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience in Uganda, and I was lucky to have an incredibly kind and professional guide his name is Hamlet. From start to finish, he was attentive, respectful, knowledgeable, and patient ,especially since I was traveling solo. His calm attitude and sense of responsibility made me feel safe and comfortable the entire time.

He went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and it truly made this dream experience so special for me. I’m grateful for his time and energy, and I highly recommend him to anyone , especially solo female travelers looking for a trustworthy guide.

Thank you again Hamlet for such a beautiful memory. Uganda is truly magical, and people like you make it even better. 🌿🦓🦒

Ngoni Safari was an excellent choice. They made it perfect!
5/5

My wife and I wanted to do something special to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We were excited about the Mountain Gorilla trekking safari. After some research we decided to contact Ngoni Safaris. It was the best decision and the most memorable journey ever. Sedrick from Ngoni help us with planning the trip. He was very helpful and forthcoming. he promptly answer all our queries and provided useful advice. Our guide Steven was awesome! He told us so many things about Uganda, its geography, its people, its culture and the local food. It would take several pages to describe the fascinating encounters with wildlife and the mingling with the locals during these 8 days. The Mountain Gorilla encounter is a once in a life experience. All lodges were located in beautiful locations and were very comfortable. We strongly recommend that you consider Ngoni Safaris for your trip to Uganda. You won't regret it.

Well Operated Tour!
5/5

Gard was an EXCELLENT guide! We did a 3 day gorilla & golden monkey trekking experience.
The car provided was sufficient for rough roads and Gard was an excellent driver and time manager, making sure we made it to each activity on time.
10/10 would book with Ngoni again and recommend to a friend

Committed to quality safari and trekking experiences
5/5

Ngoni is a reliable company. Communication may be at times delayed but when they say they are expecting you: they are punctual and ready, have an awesome and balance 14 day itinerary of safari, primate trekking with engaging cultural activities. Not only, will you be blown away by the proximity to nature - especially trekking as this is a place that has learned to live in community with the animals but you will be charmed by its people.

Organised and great choice of places and activities.
5/5

We just completed a 10 day Uganda safari with Nogoni and was very happy with our choice. Communication with Sedeick was good, our driver James a great source of knowledge and safe driver. His ability to stay calm in trying circumstances and help us whenever we needed proved he is a great asset to the company. Ngoni's choice of sights, hotels and eating places was great, some of the hotels were so nice our only regret was we didn't allow enough time to "chill" in them! Thanks Ngoni and James, well done!

Great experience, very professional and excellent guide: Smith. Would recommend
5/5

I did the 3-day Habituation with gorillas and it was a great experience, I felt I received good value for my money. Specially the guide Smith made my solo experience very enjoyable. He was well prepared, very kind and organized everything from beginning to end.
Small remark: I would’ve liked more communication from the offices before the trip started, I had to ask them for pickup time, guide name and all additional info on my arrival to Rwanda, the night before the tour started.
Apart from that, once the tour started, it was all well organized and executed. Would definitely recommend

A highly recommended 5 Star Company.
5/5

Ngoni delivered the most incredible experience I have had whilst travelling solo.
Booking and arranging the trip was easy; Sedrick took care of everything for me.
Tour options were varied and exciting.
I opted for the 8 day tour which included a chimp trek, game drives and gorilla trekking and was fortunate to be guided by Reagan.
Is there anything about East Africa this incredible man does not know?
Wow.
I will be hoping to return again next year.
For anyone who is considering planning a visit to Uganda for the experience of a lifetime, I say BOOK WITH NGONI…
