The most wonderful trip !
We had an absolutely amazing trip with Next Gen Safaris. Everything was perfect—from airport pickup to the final drop.
While planning this trip, safety was my biggest concern, especially as we were three women traveling together. After nearly two months of research and checking multiple options on Google and Instagram, I found Next Gen Safaris through SafariBookings.com. After discussing my plans with Benald, I finalized the trip within just four days—and I’m so glad I did.
Benald was extremely prompt, professional, and responsive to all my queries. I decided to take a chance, and the experience turned out to be even better than expected. Everything ran smoothly from the moment we arrived until we left Uganda.
The lodges were top-notch, and our driver-guide Pilot was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always ensuring our safety and comfort. Traveling as three women felt completely safe throughout the journey.
The entire 8-day trip was well organized and seamless, making it my first time in Uganda truly unforgettable. This was a life-changing experience, and I’m incredibly grateful.
A huge thank you to Benald for planning the trip so expertly.Special mention to Pilot, who drove us everywhere safely, always checked that everything was in place, and made sure we enjoyed every experience.He was a great guide attentive, caring, and always looking out for our comfort and safety.
Lodges we loved:
• Turaco Treetops, Kibale National Park – absolutely the best lodge, stunning and peaceful
• Enganzi Lodge – spectacular savanna views overlooking Queen Elizabeth National Park
• Bweza Gorilla Lodge, Bwindi – amazing food, warm staff, clean rooms close to the forest
• Four Gorillas Lodge, Bwindi – super luxurious with excellent hospitality and food
Both lodges in Bwindi were excellent.( Bweza Gorilla lodge & Four Gorillas Lodge )
We will definitely return and highly recommend Next Gen Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Uganda or Africa.
Thanks

Great Plan and a great team
We had a unique experience with Nextgen Safari. Planing with Benald was very professional and precise. He was patient, supportive and accommodated all our wishes in a relaxed manner finding a solution to all our desires without pushing and hassle free. Victor the driver/guide was very pleasant and made us feel extremely comfortable throughout. And of course the Safari, especially the Gorilla and chimpanzees was a once in a life time experience. I warmly recommend this company!

Beyond expectation experience!
We have just concluded 6 incredible days with Victor and Bruce from NextGen Safari’s, as part of a family trip to Africa. This is a trip we had all been looking forward to for a long time - and it truly exceeded our expectations.
The agenda was exactly what we hoped for: full and meaningful, but never exhausting. Victor, our main guide, made the most of every moment and balanced our days perfectly - from activities, to sharing information, to giving us time to rest and prepare for the next adventure. Everything felt smooth, thoughtful, and well-planned.
What made the experience truly special was how naturally Victor and Bruce blended into our family. They made us feel completely at home, creating a warm, comfortable atmosphere while keeping everything engaging, fun, and incredibly interesting.
We genuinely hope to return one day and continue exploring Uganda - and other African countries - with these amazing guides. Thank you for becoming part of our family during this unforgettable trip.

A reliable and caring company that genuinely wants you to have an amazing trip!
I had an amazing experience working with Benald, who went above and beyond in helping me plan my Uganda trip. From the very beginning, he was incredibly patient and informative, answering all my questions, helping me understand my options, and guiding me through the planning process even as I kept changing my mind about the details.
What really stood out to me was that even after I decided not to book the full tour with Nextgen, Benald continued to help me. He went out of his way to make sure I got my gorilla trekking permit, handling everything with care and professionalism. That kind of generosity and dedication is rare, and it meant a lot.
Even though I didn’t end up doing the full tour with them, I would absolutely recommend Nextgen Safaris to anyone visiting Uganda. They truly care about their clients and go the extra mile to make sure you’re taken care of!

Best Gorilla Tour Planners in Uganda
Our mountain gorilla tour ended last week that we planned with Nextgen Safaris with help of Benald. We booked 4 nights in Uganda, 2 nights in Queen Elizabeth park and 2 nights in Bwindi Forest Park.
Our Guide Miss made sure we saw all the animals we wanted. He went an extra mile to make sure we spot a lion. Everything was wonderful and the lodges were amazing.
We highly recommend this company.

Highly professional that delivers seamless, personalized, and unforgettable wildlife experiences
My experience with NextGen Safaris was exceptional from start to finish. Communication was seamless and consistent from the moment I reached out every detail, from pick-up to drop-off, was handled with care and professionalism.
My guide and driver Renatus was outstanding, knowledgeable, kind, and deeply passionate about the region. He shared local insights, cultural stories, and local food that made the trip even more special. He was waiting for me at the airport, made sure I was comfortable throughout, and brought plenty of water for the entire journey.
The accommodations were both beautiful and comfortable, and everything ran exactly according to schedule. I’m especially grateful that the entire trip was organized in less than two weeks a true testament to their efficiency and dedication. The price was also very fair and competitive compared to other options I explored.
I would highly recommend NextGen Safaris to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable gorilla trekking experience. Their attention to detail, genuine care, and local expertise made this journey one I’ll never forget.

Fantastic 3 days Gorilla Trekking Tour in Uganda with Nextgen Safaris
We booked a last minute Gorilla trekking tour from China with Nextgen Safaris. Me and my boyfriend have been wanting to see Gorillas but we did not know how to book a good tour. I contacted Nextgen Safaris and Benald responded to me right a way by email and WhatsApp. He recommended different options for Uganda and Rwanda and also advised to trek from Uganda side but fly in from Kigali for a shorter drive to the Gorilla zone of Uganda. he was very helpful and fast on responses. Our driver Renatus was awesome and fantastic. He waited for us at Kigali airport, welcomed us and transferred us to our hotel in Bwindi (Gorilla Mist Camp). The car was very luxurious and comfortable. This transfer was a little long, about 4 hours but we loved his stories and every bit of the journey. he also helped us on the boarder to Uganda. Our gorilla hike was very beautiful, were a group of 6 hikers during our gorilla trek and we met a very joyful gorilla family. We both loved every bit of this 3 days gorilla trekking tour and we highly recommend Nextgen Safaris and Benald. It is best starting from Kigali if you are not good with long drives as my boyfriend
