Exceptional service!
I cannot recommend Buffalo Safari Camps more highly. My daughter lives in Uganda and recommended we book with Buffalo for a short 3 day trip to Murchison Falls National Park. We were not been disappointed. Brilliant service from the beginning to the very end. Professional, reliable and friendly across the board. The food and accommodation at Murchison River Lodge an absolute highlight for us. The driver/guide was highly communicative throughout the trip, always talking us through the programme and most importantly ensuring we were happy with the days plan. We'll be booking with Buffalo again for sure. 10/10!

A excellent experience with Buffalo Safari Camps!
I booked with Buffalo Safari's having had an excellent recommendation from a friend. I had 4 friends coming to visit and wanted to not have the hassle or the responsibility and pressure to organise a 4 day trip. I was immediately impressed by the Buffalo team who were processional, friendly and responded to my email quickly, offering me a variety of options and itineraries to choose from. It was a no brainer - this was the company for me. The safari itself was excellent - the driver, guide and personal chef all went above and beyond to ensure the best customer experience. The tour guide was excellence and did his absolute best we saw a large variety of game. The whole experience was stress free and smooth . The food from chef David was divine and in plentiful supply. We plan to book with Buffalo again for another trip in April 2017. Thank you Buffalo!

Briljant in the details
I can wright a long review but let's get to the bone: from the climbing sun to the coming moon, BSC take cares of you and your wishes. With care of environment, a lot of British humor and much to show and see, BSC takes you on a trip that will last in your mind forever.

Gorilla trekking and lions
working with Buffalo was a great experience. The communication was very good leading up to the trip as far as planning with Tim, he was helpful in explaining the accommodations and overall trip. The tour was amazing and our guide was probably the best available. We had an amazing time and would book with Buffalo again.

Best Safari
What a safari! I've been on other ones before in Kenya, but this was my first in Uganda and we were advised to go to Murchison Falls National Park. Being on a strict budget our group was recommended Buffalo Safari Camps by friends. We met with the owner Tim in Jinja, and he was able to build us an individual safari. Without him we wouldn't have known where to start or where to visit, and he was really helpful in giving us friendly general advice about Uganda and the wildlife.
It was all simply organised for us, and at a good price, and our group spent 3 glorious days in the park where we saw lions, baby elephants and Giraffes. Accommodation was in the tents Buffalo Safari camps provided, which were clean and comfortable, and the locations were stunning, right on the river Nile. Our driver Emma and cook David, deserve special mention. They were such nice guys, easy to chat to, helpful, polite and very good at feeding us!
I would really recommend the Ziwa Safari park, where the Rhino's can be seen on the way into Murchison National Park. And although I was reluctant to do it initially, the boat ride to Murchison Waterfalls really made the trip, sipping beers as the sun go's down on the Nile was magical.
Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks alot, would love to come back soon!
safari in south west uganda
We gave Buffalo the areas and activities we wanted to do, and they did the rest. We stayed in some wonderful lodges in Ishasha, Queen Elizabeth national park and in Bwindi Inpenetrable Forest and a homestay in Fort Portal. All were great. In Bwindi and QENP, we were had local guides, but elsewhere our driver took us around and took great pride in ensuring that we saw as much as we possibly could. In Ishasha, at the end of two trips through this incredibly scenic area, he tracked down a tree climbing lion which had eluded us, and even a glimpse of a leopard. He was very a great source of information. Other than a roadslip which forced the cancellation of a trip to Lake Bunyoni, everything worked out very well.
Highly recommended.

Excellent Murchison Experience!
Communication with Tim is always clear. He's a highly organised individual and always flexible with changes to itinerary. The safari was above our expectations - the family cottage at Murchison River Lodge was stunning. We loved the personal trip in the boat down the river (even if it was quite close to the crocs!). On the Safari, Rogers went above and beyond to help us see all of the wildlife - so much so, that we would have enjoyed another game drive! The park ranger was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting information. Unfortunately the weather conditions weren't great for the chimp trekking, but such things can't be controlled. All in all, our expectations were exceeded in every way and it was a highly enjoyable experience - perhaps my parents' favourite place in Uganda!

4 day Safari
Great trip with Buffalo Safari! We went out as a group of 3, and our driver provided excellent knowledge of the country and went out of his way to ensure we were well looked after. We elected to camp throughout the trip and were taken to some amazing locations off the beaten pathway that really gave the feel of an adventure holiday.
We went to see the mountain gorillas which was a once in a lift time experience, and came up close and personal with the beautiful animals.

Amazing experience. Perfectly organisated, accommodated every need. Great company to deal with.
The safari was very well planned and everything went accordingly. Buffalo safaris fulfilled my many requests at a very reasonable price. Great communication and very helpful. Great company to deal with. The safari lived up to expectations and more. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and experienced, very friendly and fun. This was my 4th safari and by far the best in every way, food, accommodation, vehicle, experience. Highly recommend Tim and buffalo safaris.

One in a lifetime experience
Everything was incredibly easy, they handled everything for us, food, transport, accommodation literally everything. Our driver was very nice, very good English and knew so much about the country and everything we went to see. Could not have been a better trip
