Totally The Best
My son dealt with all the communications which were excellent. Everything ran smoothly and our guide Oneasmas was fantastic. He kept us fully informed at every stage and was a real ambassador for the tour operator.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.
