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!

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!

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.

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 ❤️

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!

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! ⭐

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 great safari experience!
I just came back from my 11 days safari in Western Uganda organised by Ronald from Kajie Safari. During preparations, he was reachable 24/7 and open to customize our stay, find a balance between low-cost and mid-range lodges given a strict budget and guide us through a reliable pre-payment procedure. During our stay, I found out that Kajie Safari is not your regular Tour Operator: Ronald who was our guide/driver all the way through, could provide insights on wildlife and nature (enabling me to grasp the basics being a true city gal) of each national park, Ugandan geography and traditions, but was also open to discuss everyday life and hobbies of a young modern Ugandan man (#GamesofThrones). He is a good driver (for me a combination between safe and fast), eager to settle you first at the lodge (before other tourists), providing you with snacks. In short, he is making sure that you are fine, which is quite important considering the roads in part of the country. After 11 days, the four-wheel drive Toyota Van will definitely convince you of its advantages compared to a "range rover" type of vehicle. My highlights clearly were the tracking on foot of rhinos, chimps and gorillas, which provided me with adrenaline spikes for the rest of my life. But also the red colobus monkeys playing while having morning tea with the soothing murmurs of the Kibale jungle, the sweet lady-finger-bananas eaten in the car, the flamboyant sunset in Queen Elisabeth Park, discovering the taste of confort food such as Matoke, the calm and friendly ways of Ugandan going about their business... I'll stop here, you know what you should do.
