How to make a tour in Uganda unforgettable
5/5

Found Kajie on SafariBookings. It took almost 60 emails to arrange the 13 days safari and Ronald was really patient and always flexible in changing previous plans, since the first email to the last safari day. He cared for every little detail and you can feel his love and enthusiasm for the places you are going to visit. The safari at the end contained all the amazing things that made the tour unforgettable: looking for Big 5 in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth by car and boat, chimps in Kibale, gorillas in Bwindi, zebras in Lake Mburo, stunning views on Lake Bunyonyi, plus 2-day trekking on amazing Rwenzori Mountains and rafting on White Nile. Martin, the professional guide who took care of us, was such a friend: he suggested us little tricks to better appreciate what was going on and told us interesting stories about his country and culture. Also, food and accomodation was really beyond expectations, if you think that we had tried to be as cheap as possible on these subjects. People like these guys definitely need to grow in order to enrich Uganda!

Best Guides and Experience
5/5

Our main guide Ronald, was always responsive to our emails and questions before our trip. This made us comfortable going with a company we knew nothing about other than reviews -which were all fabulous. He picked us up at 2:50am at the airport and was the perfect guide until he left our side 10 days later. He provided a great vehicle to travel in - equipped with water and snacks, and it was very comfortable. He brought along another guide, Jowana. They were great company, very informative, smart and attentive. Jowana is a bird expert and knows lots details about the country, culture and animals. Ronald is very articulate, smart and a great negotiator. He knows many people in each of the villages along the way and that made us feel very comfortable. He was very much in control and the people we met along the way respected him and did what he asked. There was a surprise at every turn. We hired him to take us to Kibale (chimps), Queen Elizabeth ( lions, buffalo, elephants, hippos) and Bwindi (gorillas). But along the way he offered to make little pit stops. We ended up dong some amazing things that we had no idea would be a part of our trip. We saw zebras at Lake Bhuro, went on a community walk and met lots of locals and went to a hot springs with medicinal powers. All this was part of what Ronald arranged for us. It was fabulous. Ronald and Jowana went above and beyond to make us feel safe and have the experience of a lifetime! We can't thank them enough and will be social media friends for life!

Always prompt to respond to inquiries, wonderful, unforgettable and safe experience!
5/5

I have been to 10 African countries prior to coming to Uganda. Uganda has a unique charm. It is a gorgeous country with beautiful landscapes, beautiful parks, amazing animals and very friendly people. Ronald and Jowana were my guides. They should made the trip a pleasure. They were very familiar with all the different sites, parks, roads, animals and birds. It was great to have Ron driving as he is a very skillful driver conquering the African roads as smoothly as it was possible. Kajie Sadaris with Ronald and Jowana is a great to do a safari/gorilla trekking in Uganda. Highly recommended!

Ronald went above and beyond to make us all safe and comfortable. He worked very hard every day of the 13 day safari and I recommend him to anyone that is planning a trip to Uganda. I told him as I do here again-every day is/was paradise on the Kajie Safari!:) it was crazy fun and beautiful! I wanted wild and rugged and it was!

Amazing commitment to provide the most unforgettable experience in Uganda
5/5

First of all the company is very quick and professional answering all inquiries. I love the easines of being able to contact them through a chat on their webpage or just by writing a message to them on facebook.

They answered my inquiry just within hours and I could sense the dedication to make all our wishes possible for a four day safari. We were hoping that we could do Kazinga Channel cruise, gorilla and chimpanzee tracking, batwa visit and a game drive in Uganda, and finalizing the safari with a visit to the genocide memorial in Kigali, Rwanda within four days - many companies told us this is too much for that period of time but Kajie Safaris seemed to have a really good knowledge about the driving times and what is realistic and what is not. They gave us an itinerary with everyrhing we wanted and more - we were able to fit in a visit to lake Bunyiony with canoeing and all.

The company was also very open about the cost structure, and kept us up to date on accommodation reservation status and getting gorilla permits etc. Also the payment method they provide is reliable and secured. I felt comfortable doing business with them at all times.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and super nice - it was really nice to have him at the safari with us. If I go back, I will use Kajie Safaris again and would recommend them to any traveller. The accommodation they booked for us exceeded our expectations.

I felt that there is quite little variation in the prices after asking for a few quotes from different companies. Therefore price was not the driver in our decision making when we decided to pick Kajie Safaris - we chose them because of the can-do attitude, quick and professional communication and providing better visibility over the full booking process.

To wrap it up - We could have not hoped for a better service.

Passionate friendly people who do all they can to make sure you are happy
5/5

I emailed Kajie Safaris after finding them on safaribookings. At the time, i was not sure if i should book with a bigger international company that had more reviews on safaribookings or if i should book with Kajie who only had a few reviews, although Kajie was highly rated. After exchanging some emails with Ronald and seeing how flexible, responsive and friendly he was compared to the other tour operators i was dealing with, i chose Kajie. The price was better than the other operators i had contacted for the same exact tour/specifications and Ronald was more genuine than the others.

Initially we had booked the tour for three people.
The day before we were set to travel, a friend decided they would like to join our trip as well. I message Ronald on the night before we were traveling to ask if we could change the bookings to accommodate 4 people rather than 3, and he was so helpful and sorted everything out for us. I don't think you can get that sort of service from another company.

Ronald and Hamida took us around Uganda. They made sure they showed us every amazing view they knew about, all the best photo spots. They were very friendly, and the general feeling was that they were more like friends showing us their country, than just our tour guides. We were very comfortable with them.
You can tell they love what they do and they want you to experience the best they can offer. Even while there, if you decide you would like to change something in the tour they are happy to make it happen.
We had an amazing time. Thank you Ronald and Hamida!

Great tour guide and itinerary. Beautiful country and wildlife.
5/5

Ronald was a great tour guide for my week in Uganda. His communication and organization were first rate. The accommodation and food was also excellent, especially considering the remote location of some of the sites. If possible, I would time my arrival and departure from Entebbe and Kampala to try and avoid the traffic, which can be really bad. Great tour!

Kajie Safaris helped enhanced my travel experiences in Uganda
5/5

Ronnie helped to organise my safaris to Kidepo and Lake Mburo, gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park as well as site-seeing visits in Lake Bunyonyi and Kampala. Ronnie is an extremely friendly and sincere tour guide. When you talk to him, you feel that he is listening to you, which not only makes for good companionship on the long drives but also enables him to tailor the travel to suit your interests. This is key; he has the knowledge and the contacts to make your trip to Uganda a better experience. He does this in a way that is not stifling, or pressuring you in any way to go to certain places or do certain things. He just facilitates the discussion to find out what you want to get from your Uganda experience, and then does his best to make it happen. During the visit itself he is flexible, willing to adjust the programme to match changing expectations. He is also extremely patient. I never once saw him lose his temper or get flustered, even in some stressful driving situations, which has the effect of making you feel at ease and enables the whole experience to be more enjoyable. I therefore highly recommend Ronnie and his company to all travellers going to Uganda.
