Flexible, transparent, fair price, nature lovers and, of course.. they have the best cars!
Our trip with Wild Uganda had all that we wanted and was perfect. I'll talk about some important points that might be important for other travelers:
- Communications: The communication with them was easy and smooth, first via email and then via Whatsapp. They were always answering fast and happy to help to solve all our questions (we had a lot). We had to customize the "route" for us and there was no problem on that.
- Tour: After reading a lot of information on internet, the tour the they propose to you includes what, for us, is the most important to see in Uganda regarding wildlife and nature. We did a 9 days trip and it was enought to see all what we wanted to see.
- Lodges: The lodges where you will sleep if you choose the low-medium budget option are really good. We were abit worried of that and it was a surprise that in all of them the food was increidibly good, we had hot water for shower, potable water, big and confortable beds with mosquitos net. We even met an elefant in QE while we were having breakfast!
- Guide: Derrick! This is you :) In our case, we did the trip with Derrick. He speaks english perfectly and he was able to answer all our questions about the animals, trees, parks, Uganda culture, food, history, etc... (Sorry Derrick, I know we put you on trouble in some questions :) ).
Derrick was on time every day, with the car cleaned and cold water waiting for us every day.
- Value for Money: We wanted to try to do the trip private (we are a couple from Barcelona, Spain) but almost all the options where extremely expensive. This one had a fair price. Probablye there are more luxury options with luxury lodges but honestly, we wanted to visit Uganda for the wildlife, nature and culture, not to be in a pool all the day. That's why we think there was no better option than that. And we were not wrong! We couldn’t be happier with the option we chose.
And last but not least, the have the coolest cars of whole Uganda!
Thanks Derrick, Wild Uganda. Good job and hope to see you again.

The Pearl of Africa in 12 days with Wild Uganda. A unique experience that I recommend without a mome
We are delighted to have chosen Wild Uganda for our first safari!
First of all, communication with Ernest was seamless, professional, and impeccable.
Our guide was Shafik Topkins; he is a very warm person who knows and loves his country!
We learned so much about Uganda and the hidden gems found there.
Shafik is knowledgeable about the national parks and their history.
He also specializes in birdwatching and tracking, and can answer any questions about the animals you might encounter.
He is passionate about his work, and it was a real pleasure listening to his explanations and stories.
We were able to see the "Big Five" as well as many other animals.
The experiences with the chimpanzees, gorillas, and golden monkeys were extraordinary and magical!!!
We will cherish the wonderful moments shared with Shafik and Wild Uganda!
Don't hesitate to book with them if you want to discover the "Pearl of Africa"!!!
A huge thank you again to Wild Uganda and Shafik Topkins Buyondo!!!!

Professional organization + amazing guide
We are glad that we chose WildUganda to organize our trip in Uganda. The communication was very professional and they organized our trip very well in advance.
On the first day we met our guide Kasim. Kasim is an excellent guide and the reason safaribooking should add a 6th star. Kasim is a very enthusiastic guide with a passion for nature. He is a guide willing to go that extra mile to give you the best experience in Uganda. After a morning gamedrive + boat cruise on the Kazinga channel + afternoon gamedrive Kasim wanted to go back before it was getting dark to the place we saw leopards that morning to check if they were out. We really love that kind of efford. In addition he is a very knowledgable guide. We learned a lot from him about the different ethnic groups in Uganda and the nature. Another point we really appreciated was that Kasim always made clear that animal sightings are not guaranteed, in his words: ''If nature allows''. Something we will remember and tell our friends and family.
Even after our trip with Kasim ended, he woke up really early on his only day off to give us a ride to the busstation in Kampala. Something we will never forget.

Exceptional 11-Day Uganda Safari - Book with Confidence!
We have just returned from an incredible 11-day safari across Uganda with Wild Uganda Safaris, and I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough.
Like many UK travellers, I was initially a little apprehensive about booking directly with a company based overseas rather than using a UK tour operator. However, I can say without hesitation that Wild Uganda Safaris are completely legitimate, professional and trustworthy. From start to finish, everything was handled exceptionally well, and any concerns I had disappeared very quickly.
A special thank you to Ernest, who helped us put together an itinerary that worked perfectly within our budget while still maximising the wildlife experiences and activities. He was responsive, helpful and clearly understood exactly what we wanted from our trip.
The safari itself exceeded all expectations. Our guide and driver, Kasim, was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire trip. He immediately made us feel comfortable, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and was an excellent driver on some challenging roads. What really stood out was how much effort he put into ensuring we had the best possible experience. He frequently went above and beyond, adding extra stops and opportunities so that we could see even more wildlife and make the most of our time in Uganda.
Thanks to Kasim's expertise and determination, we were fortunate enough to see an unbelievable variety of wildlife. Highlights included lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos, jackals, hyenas and countless other animals. We were also lucky enough to see the incredible shoebill, which was a real bucket-list sighting.
For me personally, the primate experiences were unforgettable. Trekking to see the mountain gorillas was every bit as amazing as I had hoped, while spending time with chimpanzees and golden monkeys was equally memorable. The golden monkeys were an absolute highlight of the trip and something I will never forget.
Every day seemed to bring a new adventure, a new landscape and another incredible wildlife encounter. Uganda is a truly beautiful country, and Wild Uganda Safaris did a superb job of showcasing its diversity, wildlife and culture.
If you are considering a safari in Uganda, especially if you are coming from the UK and are unsure about booking direct, my advice would be simple: don't hesitate. Wild Uganda Safaris delivered an exceptional experience, excellent value for money and service that exceeded our expectations in every way.
A huge thank you to Ernest, Kasim and the entire team for helping create memories that will last a lifetime. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable Ugandan safari adventure.

Breathtaking times with Wild Uganda!
Everything went perfectly from our first contact with Wild Uganda to the last. All communication was very clear, and every question I asked was answered within 24 hours. The itinerary they proposed was perfectly tailored to us, and adjusting it was no problem at all. We were given the option to upgrade our lodges, and the additional cost was very reasonable. Wild Uganda handled everything perfectly. Brian, our guide, made the trip unforgettable; he was always punctual, took care of everything for us, and is an expert at spotting wildlife. Definitely ask for Brian—he is absolutely outstanding.

Tailored experience with knowledgeable guides and quality accommodations close to the parks
We went on a 13-day safari and trekking trip through Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania with Wild Uganda. Planning the trip was easy as Ernest was incredibly communicative and helpful when I needed guidance. The service provided by both guides (Andrew in Uganda and Rwanda and Octavian in Tanzania) was exceptional. We learned a lot about each country and felt safe and well taken care of by our guides.
The accommodations prioritized proximity to the parks, resulting in easier mornings, and shorter lines when entering the parks. Both guides were able to navigate park registration seamlessly and we were able to focus on the animals and nature around us. Both guides were knowledgeable about both wildlife and plant life!
The trip was a great value for the money we paid and we would rebook with Wild Uganda on our next E. Africa safari and trekking trip.
Unforgettable!
Choosing Wild Uganda for our trip through Uganda and Rwanda was honestly one of the best decisions we could have made. Our expectations were high, but they were exceeded in every possible way.
From the organization and equipment to the incredible wildlife sightings, the flexibility, the experiences and the attention to detail, everything was exceptionally well arranged. Every day brought something new and unforgettable, and we were able to experience East Africa in a truly special way.
But there is one thing we would especially like to highlight: the people behind the experience.
We had the incredible pleasure of travelling with our guide Andrew, and if you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, you have absolutely hit the jackpot! Andrew is extremely knowledgeable, highly experienced and incredibly well connected with the rangers and people in the field. He knows the best spots, understands animal behaviour and somehow always seems to know where the magic is about to happen. Thanks to his incredible knowledge, experience and network, we were able to enjoy some truly extraordinary wildlife encounters that we will never forget.
But Andrew is so much more than an outstanding guide. He was professional, attentive and incredibly flexible, always listening to what we wanted and going above and beyond to make every single day special. At the same time, there was never a shortage of laughter and good moments. Spending the days with him made the entire experience feel less like a guided tour and more like travelling with a friend who happens to know everything about the African wilderness. Every single day with Andrew was worth every penny.
If you are dreaming of an authentic, well-organized and unforgettable safari experience in Uganda and Rwanda, we can wholeheartedly recommend Wild Uganda. And if you happen to get Andrew as your guide, consider yourself incredibly lucky.
Thank you, Wild Uganda and Andrew, for an adventure we will carry with us forever.
We came for the wildlife, but we left with unforgettable memories, incredible stories and a true appreciation for Uganda and Rwanda.
Absolutely recommended. 10/10!

Amazing
We had an absolutely incredible trip with Wild Uganda, traveling from Uganda all the way to Rwanda. The whole experience was amazing and we got to see and experience so many unforgettable things – from gorilla and chimpanzee tracking to safaris, Golden Monkey tracking, the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and a Shoebill Safari in the Mabamba Swamp.
But what really made the trip special for us was our guide Andrew. He was absolutely fantastic! From the very first day, we felt completely comfortable with him. Andrew was extremely knowledgeable, always friendly and in a great mood, and he really went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience.
He always knew where to go and what to look out for, whether we were searching for gorillas, chimpanzees, lions or the Shoebill. He was incredibly patient and never got tired of answering all our questions. At the same time, he was funny, relaxed and made all the long drives and early mornings so much more enjoyable.
We were honestly sad when the trip was over. Andrew played a huge part in making this journey so unforgettable for us, and we couldn’t have wished for a better guide.
A huge thank you to Wild Uganda and especially to Andrew for an amazing adventure! We would absolutely recommend Wild Uganda and would happily travel with them again. And if you get the chance to have Andrew as your guide – you’re in for a great trip!

Excellent tour operator that puts a lot of effort in their tours.
The whole experience was so amazing, our tour guide Andrew was beyond amazing he really tries every day to give us the best experience ever. He was very polite and all our wishes were heard. He knew a lot of Rangers and other people along the trip which was so helpful to always have so great sightings. We had so much fun with him and he was very professional! Also the people of the hotels told us that the company seems really ethically correct - I would definitely book this tour operator!
