Awesome
Ronald was very knowledgeable of the area. My girlfriend and I went to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Ronald knew where to go and where to find all the animals. He was very courteous and patient and provided wifi on the trip.

Amazing Uganda, wonderful tour with Kajie Safaris
My husband James and i had been looking all of the internet for a tour to Africa, we read the 12 days tour program from safaribooking website and we were not disappointed. Ronald was prompt to answer all our queries and the booking process was a no problem, Martin our Guide was a funny and professional driver and very knowledgeable about many things in Uganda.
I would recommended Kajie Safaris to anyone planning a safari to EastAfrica and we shall surely use it incase we plan to go to Africa again.
EXCELLENT for Kajie Safaris

Thanks to Ronald for the support and thanks to Reward for his service as a tourguide, this beautiful trip and experience, we will always remember. UGANDA 4-EVER :)

Amazing experience in amazing Uganda!
This was an amazing trip to amazing Uganda with excellent guide Ronald, who was very informative, helpful and communicative, great service in the car (plenty of drinking water, cold beverages, wifi). During our trip we stopped at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and saw many rhinos up-close, then moved to the Murchison Falls National Park with its eye-catching landscape, many animals to see (including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffalo) with few tourists around, took boat ride on the river Nile (about 2 hours) and hiked up to the amazing Murchison Falls (took us about 40 minutes, it can be a bit exhausting so take some water). Then we went on a scenic drive through Uganda to the Queen Elizabeth National Park. We saw less animals here than in Murchison Falls, but more animals up-close on our boat ride on the Kazinga channel, which took for about 2 hours.
We highly recommend Kajie Safaris as your tour operator and the Murchison Falls National Park as one of your destinations if you plan a trip to Uganda!

12 day Uganda tour, gorillas & wildlife
Ronald from Kajie was extremely quick to respond to messages & emails right from the first contact up until we arrived. He was very happy to reorganise the tour to suit our available time, and also change things when asked during the tour. My partner injured his leg before we left, and Ronald was happy to change some of our activities, and did his best to ensure our rooms/tents were close to the restaurants and so forth, to make life easier for us. He picked us up from the airport, was with us the entire time, and dropped us back at the end of our tour.
All our accommodation was lovely, and the meals were excellent. There were some long driving days, but that was due to all that we wanted to fit into our time in Uganda. We saw the gorillas, chimps and plenty of wildlife in various parks, as well as lovely scenery and some interesting cultural experiences. I would recommend Ronald and Kajie to my friends, and have done so!
P.S. Ronald even had a WiFi modem in his vehicle, and he was happy for us to use it in camp at night which was lovely.

6 Day trip with Kajie Safaris
Incredible week in Uganda with my great guide Ronald from Kajie Safaris. Ronald is prompt to answering emails, lets the schedule be flexible (we had an extra game drive on my last day so I wouldn't have to wait in the airport for my late night returning flight), knows the local history and culture, and can provide options for all price ranges. If there is something extra you want to do or something you don't want to do, just tell him. He has visited so many game lodges and restaurants throughout Uganda firsthand, so he can recommend whatever you are looking for. His safari vehicle has fast wifi, a charging station for cameras/phones, and a roof that pops open for taking pictures on the game drives. Ronald was with me from my airport arrival to my airport departure.
My trip was a 6 day adventure which turned out to be a private safari as I travelled by myself. Of course, the gorilla trekking experience is a must and was the pinnacle of my vacation. Although I booked rather late (about 1 month before departure), Ronald was able to obtain the required permits and even recommended which trekking group I should go with depending on the ease or difficulty of the trekking. (I requested a more challenging experience but you can opt for a more moderate trek as well). There is simply too much to describe in writing about my Ugandan trip, so I recommend you experience it for yourself. My only regret was that I had just 1 week; aim for 2 weeks!

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!

Value for money, client focused company
Booked with this company on a recommendation from other travellers. We booked the budget version and were very pleasantly surprised at our lovely accommodation which definitely did not feel budget. One lodge even has a very large hippo wander through the campsite but a security guard is never far away as your grabbing your camera.
From the first email, the communication was clear and quick. All options are explained and Ronald was fantastic at altering the tour as we added more options. The price was clear and the breakdowns updated efficiently as we altered our plans. Payment is confirmed and receipted quickly and a detailed itinerary supplied. The van was spotless and very comfortable.
The gorilla and chimp trekking, well no words can really describe just how you have trekked into a national geographic episode. I felt that Kajie tours understand the magnitude of this specific tour and work hard to make sure it is special. Onesmus was an enthusiastic guide who made it a wonderful trip.

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.

Excellent!
There is nothing bad to say about this company and their tours. It was just perfect. First Ronald immediately answered our emails and tailored a special 6 day tour for us. Ronald then came and met us at Lake Bunyonyi before he handed us over to our extremely helpful guide Reward. Reward certainly lived up to his name. We couldn't have asked for a better guide or driver. He was enthusiastically commenting on all the birds and animals we encountered. All the time he was thinking of our needs and is certainly the best and most careful driver I have encountered on the African continent.
Also the value for money must be mentioned. We took the budget option but the food and accommodation was definitely a higher standard than we expected.
Reward took us to the incredible Bwindi Impenetrable National Park where we were rewarded with a close up encounter with the rare mountain gorillas after a very strenuous hike. We also got to see chimps, hippos and lions in Queen Elizabeth Park.
