Safari in Uganda a wonderfull country
Thanks to Ronald and Kajie Safari we visited some of the wonderful places of this beautiful country. We saw gorillas, chimpas, lions, rhinos, parks, falls... a lot of amazing & unforgettable things. Ronald has been a really nice guide for all the journey, really kind, available and patient. We enjoyed the time with him during all transfers and for all the time we spent together. We also appreciated a lot his availability and flexibility for adjusting every time things as we would like to change (sometime suddenly). He was also really transparent and honest in all dealings, costs and payments we had. He was also impressive in the fast and complete responses he provided us before the holidays (to adjust, plan, decide, etc) and during our stay.
Thanks a lot, we will for sure recommend Ronald and Kajie to all our friends as we recommend to all readers of this post to engage him for any info and ideas about Uganda. Thanks. Daniela & Massimo

13-days safari with Kajie Safaris in Uganda
The planning was really detailed and Ronald was really cooperating in the organization – also for the payment everything was clear and honest, even flexible because we had some extra free days to spend and they were available for driving us from and to the airport as needed. During the safari our guide was Martin, a good guy who was friendly and nice and helped us with some advice to be best prepared to the activities. Everything was well done: the car and boat safaris, the relaxing moments on the lakes shores, the car transfers always calibrated, and the lodges and the food. In one case we also had a free upgrade to a suite due to some workers making noise in front of the balcony! We also had some adrenaline activities: trekking on Rwenzori and rafting on the Nile.. it’s incredible how Uganda can surprise you with so many different things! Definitely recommended; with Kajie Safaris you can also make safaris in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda - we chose Uganda because it was our first time in Africa, but if we should come back in one of the other countries we would surely chose them again!

How to make a tour in Uganda unforgettable
Found Kajie on SafariBookings. It took almost 60 emails to arrange the 13 days safari and Ronald was really patient and always flexible in changing previous plans, since the first email to the last safari day. He cared for every little detail and you can feel his love and enthusiasm for the places you are going to visit. The safari at the end contained all the amazing things that made the tour unforgettable: looking for Big 5 in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth by car and boat, chimps in Kibale, gorillas in Bwindi, zebras in Lake Mburo, stunning views on Lake Bunyonyi, plus 2-day trekking on amazing Rwenzori Mountains and rafting on White Nile. Martin, the professional guide who took care of us, was such a friend: he suggested us little tricks to better appreciate what was going on and told us interesting stories about his country and culture. Also, food and accomodation was really beyond expectations, if you think that we had tried to be as cheap as possible on these subjects. People like these guys definitely need to grow in order to enrich Uganda!

Every day was paradise!:)
Ronald went above and beyond to make us all safe and comfortable. He worked very hard every day of the 13 day safari and I recommend him to anyone that is planning a trip to Uganda. I told him as I do here again-every day is/was paradise on the Kajie Safari!:) it was crazy fun and beautiful! I wanted wild and rugged and it was!

Amazing commitment to provide the most unforgettable experience in Uganda
First of all the company is very quick and professional answering all inquiries. I love the easines of being able to contact them through a chat on their webpage or just by writing a message to them on facebook.
They answered my inquiry just within hours and I could sense the dedication to make all our wishes possible for a four day safari. We were hoping that we could do Kazinga Channel cruise, gorilla and chimpanzee tracking, batwa visit and a game drive in Uganda, and finalizing the safari with a visit to the genocide memorial in Kigali, Rwanda within four days - many companies told us this is too much for that period of time but Kajie Safaris seemed to have a really good knowledge about the driving times and what is realistic and what is not. They gave us an itinerary with everyrhing we wanted and more - we were able to fit in a visit to lake Bunyiony with canoeing and all.
The company was also very open about the cost structure, and kept us up to date on accommodation reservation status and getting gorilla permits etc. Also the payment method they provide is reliable and secured. I felt comfortable doing business with them at all times.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and super nice - it was really nice to have him at the safari with us. If I go back, I will use Kajie Safaris again and would recommend them to any traveller. The accommodation they booked for us exceeded our expectations.
I felt that there is quite little variation in the prices after asking for a few quotes from different companies. Therefore price was not the driver in our decision making when we decided to pick Kajie Safaris - we chose them because of the can-do attitude, quick and professional communication and providing better visibility over the full booking process.
To wrap it up - We could have not hoped for a better service.

Great trip with a great guide
We had an amazing trip – all thanks to Ronald! Right from the start he was very helpful and flexible when we wanted to make some changes from the initial route that was proposed on the website. I think this really was the biggest advantage of booking the trip directly at a local guide instead of a travel agency in Europe: we had so much more flexibility on the dates, the routes and an extra day of rest in comparison to everything else we had been offered at the agency (for a much better price was well).
The booking process was very secure via credit card and was without any problems. Once we were there Ronald was a great guide indeed, always trying that his group got the best spot to see animals, that we were given the best room etc. Besides his great knowledge about the country and its animals, he was also very funny and it was a real pleasure to have this adventure with him on our side.
Thanks to him we really got to know the country and its people and had a great time throughout the whole trip!
10/10 – really fantastic trip with a really fantastic guy!

Kampala City Tour With Friendly, Knowledgeable Ronald
I did a 1 day Kampala city tour with Ronald and was very satisfied. Price was fair but moreover Ronald was friendly, knowledgeable, imformative and I felt safe at all times. He’s a true asset to this company and Uganda tourism as a whole.

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.

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! ;)
