Great Rwanda/Uganda primate tour
Ronald was outstanding at helping us develop our trip and very responsive to email and Whatsapp. He gave us exactly what we wanted. Our guide was Martin Asimwe and he was outstanding. He made great suggestions on how to tweak the trip and made it better. He advocated for us, getting a later start in golden monkey trekking when we were jet lagged, changing chimp tracking (chase them for 4 hours) to chimp observation (1 hour but they stay in one place, mainly) and got us special treatment many places. He was friendly and knowledgeable and overall great. I cannot recommend the group more.
As an aside I would do gorillas in Rwanda though more costly, the view is far better than in Uganda.

Unforgettable experience in Uganda!
We approached Kajie safaris to provide us with a complete package for our holiday in Uganda which included game drives, community visits, experiences with the primates and every other detail required. Our entire trip was overseen by Ronald who provided us with a very reasonable price and kept us informed of every detail in advance of our trip and during. We were given plenty of opportunity to tailor our trip to our needs and did so with their knowledge and experience. Our guide for the trip - Colly - met us at the airport and was with us the entire trip. Our experience with Kajie was absolutely fantastic. Every aspect of our trip was run very smoothly with Colly building a great relationship with us throughout the journey. He was knowledgeable and friendly with a great sense of humour and we honestly would recommend everyone to request him as their guide should they choose Uganda!
There is not a single thing we can say could have been improved, Kajie were proactive and highly responsive to our needs and requests. Our transport, hotels and food organised were exceptional and they organised every aspect of our trip. They went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best opportunity to see the primates and every species we could want to see with excellent opportunities to photo and video them.
Colly's local knowledge was brilliant and ensured we had a smooth trip from start to finish. These guys are a 10 out of 10 for us and, whilst other tour companies may be good, from experience we would recommend anyone and everyone that can to go to Uganda, book with Kajie, and ask for Colly to be their guide! Amazing stuff :)

Exceptional tour with Kajie Safaris
This was a once in a lifetime tour. The 15 day safari was well organized. We covered a lot of distance and saw more wildlife than I expected. The accommodations were excellent overall, Elephant Hab Lodge being the best. Our tour guide and driver, Bob M was exceptional. He was very warm, personable, knowledgable and competent in managing the details seamlessly. He was an exquisite driver over some difficult roads in the Land Cruiser. Uganda is beautiful. Wildlife is exquisite especially the gorillas!

Amazing 7 Day Uganda Safari with Kajie and Uncle Bob
Had an amazing seven day Safari with Kajie Safaris to Kampala, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi (staying at Cassia Lodge, Turaco Treetops, the Bush Lodge and Bweza). The accommodations were fantastic and each had a ton of character and great service. The food was excellent as well. Bob (Aka “Uncle Bob”) was our guide. Bob is one of the friendliest and most personable people I have ever met. It was an an absolute pleasure spending the week with Bob. Bob did everything possible to make us comfortable and made the effort to teach us about local culture and show us local food. My wife is allergic to nuts and Bob made sure all of our food was safe, keeping our mind at ease. Seeing the Gorillas in Bwindi was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. While there can be some steep parts, the park rangers are great at helping everyone along and it is a near certainty that you will see the Gorillas up close. We had a great time on our Uganda Safari and I would highly recommend going with Kajie Safaris and Uncle Bob.

THE BEST!
LOOK NO FURTHER! You just found the best company for your safari in Uganda. We had the most amazing time on our 11 day trip with Kajie! The communication prior with Ronald and his team was excellent. They make sure you have all the information you need and more (and even send you reminders regarding your visa/vaccination :)). And then we had the best guide ever -hi Baluku! He took us to amazing local places when we told him we wanted to eat more local food, always made sure we had the best guide & group for the Trekkings and he introduced us to Ugandan Dancehall music during the long drives. The lodges are all absolutely GORGEOUS, the pictures in the brochure don’t do them enough justice. The service & food everywhere is excellent. We were always sad to leave. Thank you so much for this once in a lifetime experience, we will never forget it!
We can’t recommend it enough!
This is just the beginning! ;)

A wonderful experience from beginning to end
We recently had an unforgettable safari adventure with Kajie Safaris and it exceeded all expectations. Our journey was meticulously crafted, offering a perfect blend of adventure, wildlife encounters, and cultural immersion. Roland was extremely attentive and helpful in the planning and execution of the trip. He even checked in after our trip to confirm it was everything we wanted.
Led by the exceptional guide, Zacc, every moment was filled with excitement and discovery. The highlight of our safari was undoubtedly the gorilla trekking experience in Uganda. It was a profound and humbling encounter that will stay with me forever. Additionally, the walking safari in Lake Mburro provided an unique perspective, allowing us to intimately explore the diverse ecosystems and observe wildlife up close.
Zacc's expertise and passion for the land and its inhabitants truly made the journey exceptional. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife, local customs, and landscapes enriched our experience beyond measure. Moreover, his friendly demeanor and genuine care ensured that we felt not just like tourists, but like friends exploring together. I cannot recommend Kajie Safaris and Zacc highly enough for an unparalleled safari adventure that will leave you with cherished memories to last a lifetime.

Best safari ever!! Thank to KAJIE !!
We are just back from the best trip of our lives! I was planning this holiday since so much time as it was a birthday present for my partner,when I bumped into KAJIE I felt it was the right one, and I wasn’t wrong! Ronald before ours leaving was just perfect the communication was great, he planned everything perfect and reply to all the questions I had. When we arrived we met Bob. Let me tell you about”uncle Bob”: he’s a perfect driver, a good listener and full of knowledge. He bring us everywhere and also he made for us some changes during our stay that put the level of our 10 days safari even more high. We can’t complain about anything. The lodges were amazing, tidy, cozy, the people were all so kind that it’s impossible to describe. He also organized for us an extra activity just because he heard us talking at dinner about this beautiful bird called Shoebill, and, thank to him we have been able to stay in the swamp looking for him. Absolutely fantastic!!!
This whole trip was amazing, the safaris were terrific and thanks to bob we spotted all the Big five plus thousand of marvelous animals.
Please trust me when I say the KAJIE safari will not disappoint you. Never.
Thank you KAJIE for giving us the best days in such beautiful country. With love

It is not often you meet something that exceeds your wildest expectations, but Kajie sure did.
Back in January 2023 my friend and I started planning to go to Uganda to visit the mountain gorillas of the misty Bwindi mountains. It had been the lifelong dream of my friend and I was not hard to talk into it. We did a lot of research on which company to use and settled on Kajie Safari after seeing what they offered compared to other companies. We got in contact with Ronald and since the first email we got to experience the immense hospitality and professionalism from Ronald and his crew. Every question we had, both big and small, was answered quickly and with great care and interest. That meant we had great faith in Kajie already before stepping onto Ugandan soil.
We arrived to Uganda in late January and there we first met Ronald who fetched us from the airport and was as friendly as we could have imagines. A day later we met our guide for the 10 day trip we settled for. From the get go we were so happy because Martin was the best possible guide we could have hoped for. Calm, great listener, great knowledge, great humour and with great people skills. We were a bit nervous before the trip since going around the country for 10 days with a stranger can be difficult but Martin made us feel so comfortable and after a few days it was as if we were three friends driving around. You could tell he was very senior and well connected making our trip even more exclusive while answering any questions we had about Uganda and it's culture and history. Martin always had our best interest at heart and found solutions and adventures that we didn't even know was on the menu. Kajie definitely delivers that little bit of extra, going above and beyond what we got read about in the pamphlet. We've been so lucky chosing Kajie and having Martin as our guide. All the lodges we stayed at were amazing and some of them had among the greatest of views which could trick you into just wanting to stay there a few more weeks.
We felt completely safe the whole trip and fell in love with the beautiful landscape and the hospitality of the people we met. It is a true testiment to Kajie Safari that I haven't even mentioned yet all the great amimal encounters we had on our trip. We saw everything we could have dreamed of and more. Close encounters with all big five and more. Relaxing evening drives, fun hikes that can be adapted to your level, exciting night drives, wonderfully breezy boat trips and early morning cat tracking. Meeting gorillas, elephants, lions, chimps and leopards. And when I say close I mean staring into the eyes of the most wonderful creatures and seeing their intelligence reflect back. This was an experience beyond all others and I would recommend anyone choosing Kajie for your Uganda adventure and ask for Martin as you guide. I am sure we will be back in the future. THANK YOU!
