5* are not enough!
Our 5-day safari with Wild Uganda was simply unforgettable!
From the planning stage to departure, everything was perfectly organized. The team was always available and took all our wishes into account. The accommodations were excellent, perfectly tailored to our needs, and offered breathtaking views.
The safari itself was an absolute highlight: from Queen Elizabeth National Park to chimpanzee trekking and our personal highlight – gorilla trekking – every moment was unique. The walking safari in Lake Mburo National Park was also a very special experience. It was incredible how close we sometimes got to the animals – a feeling we will never forget. We truly went through every emotion: tears of joy, goosebumps, and moments of complete speechlessness.
A very special thank you to our guide Allaine! He was simply amazing – always helpful, friendly, and attentive. We shared many laughs with him and felt safe and perfectly taken care of at all times. He always brought us to the best photo spots, allowing us to capture unforgettable memories. With his extensive knowledge of wildlife and plants, as well as his experience, he taught us so much and shared his passion with us.
If we ever go on a safari in Uganda again, it will only be with Allaine and Wild Uganda!
Thank you for everything – this is a trip we will never forget!
We highly recommend Wild Uganda and would book with them again anytime!

9-Day Uganda Round Trip – An Unforgettable Experience
We did an 9-day round trip through Uganda as a couple and can absolutely recommend it. From the organization to the experiences on site, everything was very well arranged – a trip that will stay in our memories for a long time.
Booking & Organization
Booking was very easy via WhatsApp. Questions were answered quickly, the payment process was simple and transparent, and individual requests were always considered. The packing list we received beforehand was especially helpful. The Instagram account also gave us a great first impression and really built up the anticipation before the trip.
Accommodation
The accommodations were mostly located in the middle of nature and often offered beautiful views. Everywhere we went, we were welcomed very warmly by friendly and open staff, which made us feel welcome in the country right away. From a shower under the open sky to dinner with a view of elephants – every place had its own special charm.
Safaris & Activities
Uganda is incredibly diverse in terms of landscapes – from mountains to wide grasslands. The wildlife is just as impressive: wherever you look, there is something new to discover. What we especially appreciated was the respectful approach to nature and wildlife during all activities. The photos we attached to the review were all taken by us during the trip.
* Boat safari: hippos, crocodiles, and elephants up close
* Walking safari: getting very close to giraffes and zebras
*Game drives: amazing wildlife sightings, including the Big Five and many baby animals
* Gorilla and chimpanzee trekking: a truly unique experience that we will never forget
Food
The food was consistently very good and varied. Vegetarian options were easily available, and there was always plenty to eat – we definitely never went hungry.
Transfers
The drives were an important part of the experience because they allowed us to see a lot of the country, the landscapes, and everyday life. With good music and interesting conversations, the journeys never felt boring.
Our Guide
A very special thanks goes to our guide Derrick! He was humorous, extremely reliable, and at the same time very open and warm. We felt safe with him at all times. Derrick and the agency were reachable at any time. He always considered our individual wishes and put a lot of effort into making the experience special for us. Thanks to his experience and great connections, we were able to spot many animals that we might otherwise have missed. He also knows his country and culture very well and shared a lot of authentic insights along the way. His practical tips – for example bringing a walking stick or gloves for the trekking – were also very helpful.
Our sincere recommendation for future travelers: ask for Derick as your guide when booking.
Conclusion
This trip was very well organized and full of memorable encounters with people, nature, and wildlife. One of the most impressive travel experiences we have had, and something we can clearly recommend to anyone who wants to experience Uganda in a deeper way.

Amazing!
What an amazing trip from beginning to end. Linus went out of his way to make sure that I was happy and safe - nothing was too much for him. He was punctual, polite, kind and funny! He was also very knowledgeable about the different animals. My favorite accommodation was at Ziwa - absolutely beautiful luxury tent - they thought of everything! I loved the rhino trekking and getting so close to them was amazing! The chimpanzee trekking was very cool! It rained on us but that didn’t stop us from being able to see the chimps swinging from the trees. Also the boat ride through the swamp was so beautiful and peaceful and we did see a Shoebill! I would highly recommend Wild Uganda!

Absolutely wonderful
Wow -we had an amazing trip that exceeded all of our expectations. Kasim is a rock-star and we so appreciated his knowledge, flexibility, expertise and sense of humor!
The gorilla experience and the walking safari were highlights in a trip where every day was spectacular. Watching a mother leopard trying get her cub to cross the road right in front of us was so special. Sitting with an elephant family while the baby ran about, flapped her ears and played brought tears to my eyes.
I can’t stress how much we loved our trip. Everything went like clockwork and we were pampered and cared for. A wonderful value for the money. Our guide, Kasim made magic happen! Thank you so much.

Unfortunately due to a family member’s illness we had to cancel our trip , this was dealt with compassion and quickness when we needed the support.
Highly recommend this company

An exceptional tour operator that made our trip feel effortless, authentic, and truly unforgettable
I’m really grateful for the organisation of this trip, which was arranged at just a couple of weeks’ notice. Ernest always replied very quickly and provided us with all the necessary information; he was extremely flexible in tailoring the trip to our preferences and made sure everything went smoothly.
Our guide, Kasim, was a highlight of the trip; we learnt so much from him about the culture, traditions and wildlife. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience.
It’s an experience we’d 100% recommend, and we’re absolutely certain it wouldn’t have been the same without them.

Professionalism, dedication, competence, and efficiency.
We decided to change our holiday destination three days before the scheduled departure date. Wild Uganda was our salvation. With unparalleled professionalism and precision, as well as remarkable speed and flexibility, they managed to organize an 11-day safari trip to Kenya. They turned an unexpected situation into one of the best trips of my life. They were attentive to the time needed in each park, carefully selecting competent guides.
I had a unique experience, which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to turn a dream into reality. All it takes is an email or a message to Ernesto, who transforms imagination into reality.
Without a doubt, an experience to repeat. Thank you for everything!

Excellent vacations in beautiful and diverse Uganda - fully recommended
- as an intro: this was our first safari and to be honest, at first we were a bit reluctant to book our vacation in Uganda directly through a travel agency based there, because we couldn't meet and discuss in person beforehand. It is a somewhat strange feeling to transfer a (for us) big amount of money to a person/company we have not met in person. So we did our due diligence (checked reviews, website, checked registration with UWA, trusted our gut feeling after initial communication,...) and decided to take the "risk" - and we were rewarded heavily :-)
- the trip: Based on a travel guidebook about Uganda and input from different sources (including Wild Uganda's website), we planned our individual 20 day itinerary through Uganda and sent this to Wild Uganda. Ernest (from Wild Uganda) gave his input on the itinerary, suggested additional things to do, searched for suitable lodges and accommodation on our way and made us an offer. So the whole trip was tailored to our wishes and it was just the two of us with our driver/guide (no group travel). Note to myself for future safaris: don't forget to add a leisure day here and there, which is also nice.
- the communication: very easy in english, mostly through whatsapp. Ernest reacted very fast and answered all our questions (even more exotic ones, for example about yellow fever vaccination exemptions because one of us was for medical reasons not allowed to be vaccinated). he first sent us a sample 10 day programm with price ranges so we could get a feeling for the prices. Only after this we made our itinerary and sent it to him. He understood fast and precisely, which kind of lodges we would like regarding comfort and pricerange and proposed suitable ones (some even better than we could hope for). He asked back about unclear points in our itinerary (much appreciated) and made sure we were on the same page with everything. He sent us our guide/driver's contact details a couple of days in advance and we set up a whatsapp group (us and the guide). Also with him, the communication was easy in english and his response time was very fast. Communication was a great plus and gave us confidence.
- the service: impeccable. Our guide/driver Kasim (insta: on_safari_with_kasim) was phantastic. He picked us up at the airport (we were delayed for two hours) and from then on accompanied us till we flew away again 20 days later. He is a warm, welcoming and easygoing person who knows a lot about the animals, people, country etc. and shares his knowledge. At the same time he has a fine feeling of when you'd prefer to sit in silence and just enjoy the landscape passing by. He is great at spotting animals and also knows about photography and taking great pictues. You can feel his own interest in the animals and also his excitement about them. I especially appreciated that he is a very safe, cautious driver (I am picky in that regard and had no problem to relax). At one point, one of us had a bacterial infection and we had to rush for medical help - those are the moments you really realize if you're in good hands or not, and we obviously were. Kasim reacted fast and decisive. After half a day in the local hospital, we had to stay longer at the lodge we where at this moment to get healthy again. He arranged for everything. We went together through the options on how to continue our travel which was straightforward, no nonsense. Luckily, health got better and we could continue (skipping two days in the initial program and passing on a couple of game drives). Even Ernest reached out to us during this time and wished good recuperation! So, flexibility was great.
- value for money: We didn't compare to many other local agencies, so we can't judge there. But compared to agencies in Europe, it was much, much cheaper and made it affordable for us. Considering all the service and the level of the lodges we had (some mid range, some more lux), we would say it was a very good deal and definitely worth the money.
- overall: we can recommend Wild Uganda and Kasim (driver/guide) without any reservation. If we go back to Uganda/Rwanda/Kenya one day, we would definitely book with them again!
