Fabulous Visit to Rwanda
This company knows how to organize a safari! Our guide, Wilson, was AMAZING! We spent five days with him and really loved his professionalism, personality, and stories and honestly just really enjoyed his company.
We were met at the airport in Kigali and transported to our hotel. Next day Wilson took us to Volcanoes National Park. We learned so much, visited the genocide museum it was really very exciting.
Every time we needed to go somewhere he was there and when we wanted a specific safari trek with the gorillas, he always got us in the right group. I am so happy to travel with Saso Uganda Safaris/Rwanda.
I highly recommend it.

Rwanda and Uganda Tour
I did this 12 days Rwanda golden monkeys, Congo mountain gorillas, Bwindi gorilla trek, Queen and Kibale Safaris on February 12th, 2018, with Trek Gorilla Safaris.
Our driver and guide, Wilson, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, friendly with a great sense of humor, punctual and professional.
A lot of driving was involved but he helped to fill the long journeys with many interesting facts and historical information about the areas we were driving through. He kept the group interested and laughing with his stories and jokes. Mountain Gorillas were the highlight of our trip.
The golden monkeys in Rwanda were stunning. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi, though hectic, was really a good experience. This was a highly memorable trip where I checked off several items from my bucket list.
I recommend this Safari for anyone planning to visit Africa.

Value for Money Experience in Uganda with Saso Uganda Safaris
In June, my wife and l with our children planned to make a trip to Africa, We all finalize that we should visit Uganda to such that we trek the mountain gorillas . We contacted several companies regarding our trip to Uganda but we selected Saso Uganda Safaris because their pricing was friendly and also the nature of their package setup was unique.
My family and I have just returned from a two week trip round southwestern Uganda. We visited Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Mburo and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Our driver/guide, Wilson, was a fount of knowledge, a superb driver and a real pleasure to be with for the whole of the trip.
We have come back keen to visit other parts of Uganda in the future and would definitely go to Saso Uganda safaris again. I highly recommend Saso Uganda Safaris to all those we love to travel in Uganda, Rwanda and Congo. I will recommend my friends too.

Trip of a lifetime!
From the first time I contacted Saso Uganda Safaris until the end of my trip with them, everything went incredibly smoothly.
I contacted many different tour operators when I decided to go to Uganda, and out of all the ones I contacted, Wilson was the quickest to respond, with the most specific cost and itinerary information.
He was flexible as I changed the trip around, and once we settled on an itinerary, all went quite smoothly. Vincent, our driver showed up right on time, and proceeded to navigate the roads of Uganda flawlessly through rain and shine and all in between.
He was quick to point out all wildlife and intriguing sights, and took care of us every step of the way with ease. The places that Saso picked for us to stay were fantastic, and a great match for who we were as travellers.
The activities were also well-selected, and adjusted for our taste, such as when we wanted to add trekking in the Kyambura gorge to see the Chimpanzees Would recommend them highly as a great choice, with very reasonable pricing.

Excellent safari operator
I did the Kidepo safari itinerary suggested by Saso Uganda Safaris, with the amendment of adding on a visit to a Ziwa rhino sanctuary. Saso Uganda safaris were excellent from the start.
Quick to respond, answered all my many questions. I imitated another reviewer here and paid the full balance of the safari in advance, as this felt safer than carrying a large amount of cash.
On the safari itself, their chosen driver/guide, Ahmed, was excellent - a safe driver and an informative and interesting travel companion. I would strongly recommend their Kidepo safari in particular - Kidepo was beautiful, worth the long drive. We got lucky and saw a lot of wildlife, including lions. Thanks Saso Uganda Safaris!!!!!!!
Unforgettable 4 Day Queen and Chimp Safari!!!!!!!
The trip of a lifetime! Saso Uganda Safaris worked with us such that we can have the unforgettable Safari. Wilson and his staff knew where we needed to be to see the most action. From experience, they could observe an animal's movement and position the vehicles for the best viewing and photos. The driver amazed us with their ability to spot even the smallest animal and bird species during game drive. With Michael's narration and nightly talks, we came to love his native Uganda and appreciate the treasures it holds.

Great Adventure Safari
From the day I contacted Saso Safaris, they always replied me swiftly and with a very high level of professionalism. I am not used to book and pay online so I really had to feel that Saso Safaris was totally trustworthy.
Saso was able to answer all my questions in a very efficient way. We were lucky because I believe we had an exceptional driver/ guide called James.
He was always on time, drove safely, and checked some roads beforehand to guarantee we would always be on time. Cherry on the cake, he is not only a very responsible and committed guide but he is also very interesting and entertaining.
We managed to see a Leopard in queen elizabeth, Gorillas in Bwindi, actually see is not the right word...we were actually sitting two meters away enjoying an amazing moment. We explored Western Uganda to its fullest but in a very comfortable way. With Trek Gorilla Safaris, it was simply all about enjoying the trip with no organisation hassle! We want to thank Saso Safaris for this trip of a lifetime.

Best Trip Ever
Saso Uganda Safaris was our tour operator for my husband and my first Safari in Rwanda. We had the best experience and the best trip of our lives. We knew Rwanda was the place to be, but this was above all expectations.
The place is magical, but what makes a good trip is who you deal with, and this company was so professional from the beginning to the end. Always there to answer all our questions, very friendly, suggesting what they think is best for us, and making us feel comfortable through the whole process. Our guide was fantastic, the food was good everywhere we went and the lodges were even better than we expected.
Welldone Saso!!

Unforgettable Honey Moon
My husband and I, spent two wonderful weeks in Uganda and Rwanda, all arranged by Saso Uganda Safaris. This trip has certainly become a trip of my lifetime. Gorilla tracking in Uganda was extremely wonderful. The guide Kasim, was very motivating and keeping it positive in challenging moments like Gorilla tracking.
As for safari all I can say, had an amazing time. We took 5 day safari to Nyungwe, Volcanoes National Park, and Lake Kivu in Rwanda after touring Uganda. All parks are beautiful, but Bwindi was the place worth staying for days and if I come back I will choose to go double gorilla tracking for sure. Driver was funny, witty and informative with wildlife facts and safari stories.
Food on safari was also good and tasty, lunch boxes we received were very generous in size and portions in comparison what we saw with other people on picnic spots. For us this package was exactly what we wanted.

Awesome visit to Uganda National Parks
I visited Uganda with my friends during first week of March 18. The tour was very well organized by Saso Uganda Safaris. The tour manager Wilson is a very friendly and professional person. He made good plan for us on how to spend the 18days of our holiday in Uganda.
We visited all the national parks in Uganda but visiting Bwindi for gorilla tracking amazed us. Because of him our stay in Uganda was very comfortable. The tour guide was thorough professional and took lot of initiative to detect wild life during game drive. Saso Uganda Safaris made our trip an awesome experience.
Wilson the tour manager is a nice man. He is very responsible and taking the whole thing seriously. From the beginning, he gave us a very detailed plan and quickly answered with all the information we needed. We could feel he is much more serious than other safari operators we tried to talk with. The price was also better.
