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!

Weekendtrip in Murchison Falls
We went on a safari with Ronald to Murchison Falls for one weekend. Before the trip Ronald was great at keeping contact and answering questions. We were seven girls and we couldn’t be happier with our trip. Ronald did everything he could to make us satisfied. He kept in contact with other guides so that we were able to see as much as possible including, the big five. Ronald is a very kind and funny guide and through the weekend we developed a friendship. You can certainly say that he was the perfect guide. We highly recommend him to everyone thats planning a safari in East Africa. Love from Norway.

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!

From the first email contact to the last drop off at the airport Ronald and Kajie Safaris were A++
Kajie Safaris front man Ronald was a star from the very beginning. All email querys were answered within the hr and he understood immediately the needs of an ageing and demanding Scotman. The quotes were very competitive and I was fortunate to have had Ronald personally recommended by Ugandan friends who had also used their services.
The tour itself was one of a little drama, great excitement and sheer wonder at the glory of being 10ft away from a massive beautiful silverback. Please dont be put off by the stories of 2 to 3 hr hikes through tough jungle. If you are older like myself and perhaps equally a little unfit, please note that our Tour guide Onesmus put in the fix and arranged a visit to see a family that required just a 15 minute hike through the jungle. My wife and I have been on several African safaris, but seeing the silver back up close with his family was unforgetable ......... simply the best.
We stayed at the Lake Mutanda Resort .... if there is a more lovely area in Africa, then I need to visit there next. An absolute paradise for bird watchers. The welcome we received and the service were spot on.
If I have any advice to travellers ..... if you have the budget for it do use the internal flights. Long journeys on bumpy roads do take it out of you.
A visit that will remain in the memory banks and a company that are a credit to Ugnada. Well Done Ronald.

Eight wonderful days with Kajie Safaris
I took my plane to Entebbe with a feeling of uncertainty clouding my mind, but it all dispersed as soon as I landed at the destination airport. Thanks to safaribookings.com for recommending kajiesafaris. It was an eight-day trip and I found to my great relief that everything was in place. Ronald Muvunyi of kajiesafaris is a well-organized, transparent, amiable and spirited young man. After having exchanged scores of mails between ourselves, the plan for the trip was finalized. My day in Uganda began on the morning of 9th June 2019. As was scheduled, Ronald guided me to Kibale National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Lake Bunyonyi that included, among others, chimp trekking, mountain gorilla trekking and game drive. The days flitted fast, and on the day of my return, a shroud of sadness wrapped me at the Entebbe airport, as Ronald left me with his sweet smile.

Gorilla tracking in West Uganda
Ronald organised a fabulous 4 day whistlestop tour of west Uganda for me. He was super prompt replying to any email, and outlines various options for me to choose from. The gorilla trekking was of course a highlight, only topped off by being rugby-tackled to the ground by a baby gorilla which was amazing. Although Ronald didn't accompany me on the tour, he organised for Grace (one of Uganda's very few female tourist guides) to escort me around. Grace was a fount of knowledge and some very amusing stories. Thanks to Grace I sampled the local matoke (mashed up banana) which was far more tasty than I would have thought. She also tackled the Uganda roads with ease which is no mean feat. Many thanks to both Ronald and Grace. I look forward to my next trip!

Kajie Safaris is truly outstanding
My friend and I went on a three day gorilla trekking trip with Kajie Safaris. I would recommend them in a heart beat. Ronald was incredibly responsive and flexible. He helped us with every one of our queries. It was truly outstanding customer service.
Our guide and driver Wycliffe was equally impressive. He spent every hour of our time together going out of his way to make our trip as comfortable, enjoyable, informative and successful as possible. On top of that, he has an amazing sense of humour!

A royal journey
Communications were excellent from very beginning. Due to schedule changes by other tour company and airlines, it was necessary to change Kajie Safaris itinerary Several times and these were cheerfully made without complaint. As a single female traveler I was a bit nervous about traveling alone in Uganda after a single female traveler had been kidnapped just weeks before my arrival. Ronald allayed my fears and assured me we would not be traveling in the area where kidnapping occurred.
From the first moment when Ronald met me at the airport I felt comfortable and was confident I would be well taken care of. I was not disappointed.
The safari van was very comfortable and equipped with WiFi and charging outlet. The six day journey was filled with breathtaking scenery and incredible wildlife sightings. Highlights included an Unforgettable private viewing of mama leopard teaching her cub to hunt, gorilla trek, chimpanzee visit, and an overnight stay in an unbelievably beautiful hotel overlooking a volcanic lake. Everywhere the Ugandan people were gracious and welcoming. I loved every moment of my safari and am looking forward to a future visit.

Dream Makers!! The best Uganda Safari company!!
I will always be grateful to Kajie Safaris because they allowed me to realize my big dream with a small budget.
I've been to Uganda in September 2019 and I spent 7 days and 6 nights with Ben as a guide and it was amazing.
Me and my wife have enjoyed every single day, road, lodge and camp they have chosen for us.
Starting with a low budget per person we have been doing Chimps Trekking, visiting Queen Elizabeth NP and Kazinga Channel, cruising Lake Bunyonyi and at the end of the week...Gorilla Trekking.
It has been a magical stay and we are lucky to have shared this experience with the AMAZING BEN! He was always paying attention at our needs and he is super keen and enthusiast on history, nature and culture of his country.
Ben and Kajie Safaris are super recommended for visiting Uganda.
