Amazing! ⭐
We did a 10-day safari with Kajie and it was truly amazing! 😍🦛
Our Road Trip: Murchinson Falls - Kibale Forest - Queen Elizabeth - Lake Mutanda - Lake Mburo 🚙🌴
Our driver "Uncle Bob" was a very good driver and also very good company! 😁 He makes sure you feel comfortable and that you have a good time! We managed to spot the Big Five on already on the first day! 🐆
Also no complains about any of the lodges where we stayed. Everywhere we went we got to meet a super friendly and hard working staff. 🙏🏼
Would definitely recommend! ⭐

Outstanding!
The four of us were met at Kigali airport by our guide Simon late at night after flying in from the UK. From that moment on, Simon steered us through some once in a lifetime experiences from iconic gorilla trekking in both Rwanda and Uganda, various safaris, a boat cruise, a chimpanzee expedition and to an assortment of well chosen hotels and lodges. At all times, Simon kept our best interests at the heart of the holiday, accommodating any requests that we made of him and tailoring the activities to suit our needs. He is calm, personable, extremely knowledgable and is clearly well known and respected by the people he works with at the various locations on our trip.
Altogether an amazing adventure which we would highly recommend. The gorilla treks were challenging but not to be missed - be sure to use the invaluable services of a local guide to support you as the terrain can be very steep and uneven. It’s not for the faint hearted!!!
Thank you Simon for your wisdom, friendship, skilful driving and your trusty van Precious - not the most glamorous vehicle but she was constantly reliable on the unpredictable African roads!

Unforgettable experience with one-of-a-kind guide!
If you’re considering a safari, Uganda should be your top choice, and if you’re considering a guide in Uganda, Kajie should be your top choice!
We were lucky enough to have Ronald for 11 full days and we couldn’t have asked for a better companion on our adventure. He is so knowledgable, friendly, funny, welcoming, reliable, generous… overall an amazing guide that we now count as a friend.
Kajie offers great value for money for wonderful accommodations (we genuinely liked every single one of the 7 places we stayed), delicious food, amazing activities, and most importantly a fantastic knowledgeable guide who always goes the extra mile to make your experience special.
We saw everything we wanted to see (including rare animals with the help of Ronald’s very keen eye), and leave Uganda with many wonderful memories. It’s the best trip we’ve been on and we can’t wait to return (with Kajie of course).
Thank you Ronald and see you again soon ❤️

Excellent
Ronald at Kajie Safaris customized this trip to make it everything I could have dreamed of - trekking for chimps, mountain gorillas (4 different locations) and golden monkeys in the gorgeous highlands of Uganda. The lodges he chose were absolutely wonderful, as was the food. Ugandans were incredibly hospitable, and at the hopeful end of this time of covid, I felt safe at all times. Ronald is an amazing guide - knowledgeable, kind, great sense of humor, and good taste in music. I’ve been home for two days and already dream of returning.

Kaije Safaries gave us the best Uganda experience I ever could imagine!
Before the trip I have several mail contacts with Ronald. He was very quick to response to all questions I had.
Ronald was an experienced and very social tour guide. His knowledge gave us an extra dimension to this journey and we learned a lot about Uganda life. We had long conversations over the dinners and it was really nice.
The chimpanzee walk was great, so as the game drive in Queen Elisabeth National Park. But the highlite was, of course, the gorilla trek. To be able to sit within 2 m from a silverback was just amazing!
But the safari was so much more than just the animals. The every day life of Uganda was just as amazing to be part of, and Ronald stopped wherever we wanted to, e.g I had a skirt sewed in one of the villages where we stopped. We also tried different food along the way; i never had banana beer before :)
The lodges were excellent and an extra plus for The Bush Lodge, where we had Hippos crunching into our lodge and sat and had dinner under the stars, what a great experience!!
Ronald have wifi in the car, which was great, and aircondition and water bottles, so no lack of that. He also had availability to charge the phone/camera
We had an extra day in Entebbe before we left, and a tip is to take some days extra just to relax before you get home, the safari is great but also very busy. It would have been great to just relax for some days before going home.
Uganda is a very nice and pleasant country. We felt very welcome of the locals and felt safe to stroll around. we will definitely come back again!

Great trip with a great guide!
We have nothing to complain about on the 5-day safari (Lake Mburo, Queen Elizabeth, Kibale Forest) that we have booked with Kajie Safaris. Before we left, Ronald patiently prepared a detailed itinerary with us, in accordance with our wishes. During the trip itself everything was arranged to perfection! The means of transport was spacious and equipped with air conditioning, wifi, charging points, a roof that could open and enough water. All overnight stays (in places with beautiful views!) And accompanying meals were very good and we never felt unsafe during the sometimes long car journeys. During the game drives and nature walks we have seen many animals up close: very cool! With his humor, knowledge about Uganda, endless commitment and pleasant presence, Ronald is the best guide you could wish for! He works hard to make your trip a success. When we go to Uganda again, we know who we are booking with!

Incredible week in Rwanda and Uganda. Exactly what we needed.
A friend and I traveled with Kajie Safaris in February to both Rwanda and Uganda. It has been my dream for a long time to visit the gorillas (and of course see a lot more), and after some shopping around, chose them to book with. I am so so happy we did. The decision was made after just a few email exchanges with Ronald. He was so responsive and accommodating of all our requests to alter the listed tour. I loved communicating with him through email so much that we knew it would be a good fit.
Ronald was with us from the moment we landed until dropping us off at the airport on our last day. He put together an incredible experience for us, altering the plans many times as he got to know us better and better. The accommodation choices were better than I anticipated (we went with mid range ones). He is truly passionate about what he does and the sites he is taking people to. We were in great hands and he made it a perfect trip. Even the (necessary) long car rides were so much fun as we learned about the country, each other and took turns playing DJ while watching the stunning scenery around us. By the end it totally felt like we were traveling with a good friend. I have traveled extensively through Africa, and this was by far the best company I’ve worked with. I couldn’t recommend them more.

Fun Uganda Experience with Ronald!
We had a great time in Uganda with Ronald. He is easy to talk with and is overall a likeable guy. I felt like he genuinely wanted to make sure we had a good time and saw all of the animals/sights possible. I found the van comfortable with plenty of space. I especially appreciated the pop-up roof while driving around Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Our trip was “Budget” and we found the accommodations nice. We really liked the camping at Kibale and Queen Elizabeth. Overall the food was good, especially at the camping resorts.
We saw chimps, elephants, warthogs, hippos, lions, kobs, buffalo, gorillas, and more. The countryside is beautiful and Lake Bunyoni is amazing. We personally didn’t care much for the bigger cities, but our itinerary didn’t have us spending much time there so that was perfect.
Ronald went out of his way to help us with various things, like finding the best place to exchange money. We would recommend him to our friends and family who are looking for a personal and authentic Uganda experience!
