Magical /spectacular—a truly transformative adventure filled with breathtaking wildlife encounters
Our safari with Ngoni Safaris was nothing short of spectacular—a truly transformative adventure filled with breathtaking wildlife encounters, impeccable daily service from Reagan our personal guide , driver , who’s role included seamless logistics that exceeded every expectation, making it the trip of a lifetime with memories we'll cherish forever.
From trekking with gorillas , cheetahs and rhinos to intimate moments with lions, elephants, hippos and more, every game drive / boat safari was magical. Our guide Reagan was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate and brought the wilderness alive with his knowledge and made us feel completely safe and immersed. We highly recommend Ngoni Safaris to anyone dreaming of an authentic, unforgettable African adventure.

Once in a lifetime Experience
It was an absolutely fantastic experience. The diversity of this trip is incredible and hard to beat; we saw the Big 5 and much more. But meeting the gorillas was definitely the highlight for us. The trip was perfectly planned by Ngoni, and they took care of all our needs during the trip. We didn't have to worry about a thing. A big thank you also goes to our wonderful guide Hillary, who had extensive knowledge about his country, animals and culture. We had a lot of fun together and can only recommend him. This trip was a 10/10!

Ngoni Safaris provided a well-planned, customized gorilla Safari
Gard was our amazing driver for our Safari trip from the Kigali Airport in Rwanda to our hotel and then on to crossing the border into Uganda and on to our Lodge in the Rwindi Impenetrable Forest (and back again at the end). He always had bottled water available for us in the car which mattered so much! We felt totally safe with his careful driving (as Rwandans drive on the right side and Ugandans drive on the left). He helped us negotiate security and immigration. We made lovely stops along the way to eat, photograph and purchase items.
In addition, Gard was so knowledgeable and shared his information with us during the trip from sites and wildlife along the drive, the history of the countries, to essential safety precautions. While at our lodge, he would meet with us each evening so we could prepare for the upcoming treks, helping us to rent gators, get masks, and review the supplies to pack. He would cheerfully drive us each day, multiple times (regardless of the early morning departures), and then diligently wait for us (for many hours) while we trekked. While he waited, he continued to educate himself by reading books on the bat populations and bird varieties in Bwindi, to share this knowledge with others. He had just completed his college degree in Accounting (amazing) and yet still continues learning.
One of the most admirable qualities that I appreciated in Gard was his calm and patient personality: nothing shocked him or frustrated him- he was always cheerful and helpful. We did have a Visa issue at the border and he calmly and patiently helped us maneuver through. We also had trouble with ATMs and he would cheerfully drive us to other ATMs until we had success. If we had a question or concern, he would find the answer. If I was getting car sick, he would drive slower and make stops along the way. Gard Florence is the one who made this trip a success, as he totally customized our tour to suit us individually. We highly recommend Gard, as he was definitely worth a generous tip!
Thank you so much Gard.
Ngoni mistakenly double charged us when signing up which took some time to reverse the charges. We scheduled two days of Gorilla Trekng through Ngoni and they were amazing experiences which we will always treasure 💕 We had a beautiful cabin at the border of the impenetrable forest, with delicious meals and excellent service. The temperatures were very chilly in the evening inside the cabin, so they provided hot water bottle and blankets, which kept us warm. The hotel near the airport was excellent and the free transportation to and from the hotel/airport was beneficial.
This was an amazing once in a lifetime experience!

Excellent, reliable tour organization
It was a fantastic trip, far exceeding all our expectations. Precise organization, first-class accommodations, maximum service, excellent guide. The standard tour was fine tuned according to our interest and request. Sedrick was very flexible, managing changes due to our flight schedule change and offered accomodation upgrades during our trip. Our guide Mubarack is the best!

Fantastic!
We would like to thank you for all the attention received. Our guide Reagan was exceptional, as we don't speak English, he dedicated himself to learning Portuguese and patiently guided us through 11 days in Uganda. They were days of harmony, joy and many surprises and achievements. Definitely one of the best trips we've ever taken in our lives!!! Thank you very much!

Excellent planning and execution of multi day safari tour including chimpanzee and gorilla tracking
I had a great experience with Ngoni safari for this multi day itinerary. The team planned it very well and it happened perfectly. I would strongly recommend them for organizing this tour. I just focused on the experience and they did all the hard work.

An unforgettable family adventure with Ngoni Safari and our guide Eddy!
We experienced a true family adventure, just the way we like it, with our two daughters aged 17 and 19. Our wish was to combine sports activities, primate trekking, and a few days of safari.
From the very beginning, Sedrick from Ngoni Safari was highly responsive and skillful in planning our itinerary. He perfectly understood our needs and designed a tailor-made trip. He was flexible with payment terms and even accepted last-minute adjustments during the journey (such as changing a hotel to facilitate our transfers), which was very reassuring.
Our trip to Uganda was fabulous:
-Gorilla and chimpanzee trekking in habituation mode: an outstanding choice that allowed us to live a truly immersive experience, far beyond our already high expectations. This was, without a doubt, the highlight of our journey.
-Rafting on the Nile: an exhilarating adventure that the whole family loved.
-Hotels and lodges: luxurious, superb, and very comfortable.
-Transportation: a clean and very comfortable vehicle, perfect for long drives.
A special word for our guide Eddy: knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, he greatly enriched our experience.
Our only small regrets: not being able to taste more traditional Ugandan dishes (lodges offer very few local food options), and the reality of long drives on unpaved or poorly maintained roads, which should be expected as part of the adventure.
Overall, the whole family came back absolutely delighted. We highly recommend Ngoni Safari to anyone wishing to experience an exceptional journey in Uganda.

Top organized
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

Unbelievably good at his job
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.
