Good
Quite a good experience.
- Safari guide was very helpful and flexible. Thanks to that flexibility the quality of experience can vary quite a bit by the choice that the traveler makes. Perhaps what could be improved is to communicate available options and their experience value more clearly.
- We relieably saw everything we were supposed to see and managed to squeeze in a few extras.
- We had mid-range or upper mid-range lodges. I think they were good enough and by paying much is mostly pointless for most travelers unless they are very demanding. Some evenings it was nice to have nice lodge to relax but overall the time spent in lodges was quite limited.
- Uganda itself is quite a good value for money and has gorillas and chimps on top.
Some tips:
- Balance taking time looking at animals and birds that You do find and rushing around trying to see something better which can become exhausting after a while. We spent quite a bit of time chasing leopard, but perhaps a bit too long. Thankfully, Queen Elizabeth park had predator tracking tour available (big cats wear trackers around neck) which make locating them easy if You choose to go on this tour. It costs over 200 euros per person but I think it is worth it.
- At least 1 night game drive is good to have as it is different experience.
- Try to step out of car few km before your gorilla lodge and walk up to the lodge. The views are good.
- We managed to squeeze in shoebill sighting on the last day's afternoon and got a very good view of a shoebill.
- Kampala is worth visiting couple of days, but it can be a bit scary for traveler not used to chaos of developing country city.
- Drink as much Divine Bushera as You can.

Incredible, perfect!
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Kajie Safaris — from the very first email to the full planning process, everything was smooth, professional, and exceeded our expectations. During the trip itself, everything ran perfectly, and it was clear how carefully every detail had been thought through. The lodges and activities were all perfectly chosen.
A special thank you to our guide, Eddie. He was outstanding — always friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and generous in sharing insights about wildlife, nature, and the country. His driving was consistently careful and made us feel safe at all times.
And honestly — he is a master at spotting animals! His eye is unbelievable. He would find wildlife we would have never seen ourselves, making every game drive exciting and memorable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

We came for the animals, we left with memories for life
We booked a private safari in Uganda with this agency and it exceeded every expectation. Our guide Eddie was absolutely outstanding — friendly, incredibly safe behind the wheel, and with an eagle eye for spotting wildlife we would have never noticed on our own.
What really set him apart was his passion for sharing his country: from animal behavior and local agriculture to music and culture, every drive felt like a living classroom. He was also wonderfully attentive to all our requests throughout the trip.
The accommodations were top-notch, and the whole experience was seamlessly organized. This is a trip we will never forget. Highly recommended!
