Perfect Safari!
We had a most incredible safari during a 12-day-tour!
Everything was perfect organized, all our wishes were respected and fulfilled.
All the lodges we had been were very nice, comfortable with good service and excellent food.
Our guide and driver Baluku was fantastic! He did everything to provide us a great time. He is an excellent driver, we felt very safely! He was funny and he enthusiastically told us a lot about Uganda an the wildlife. And he did know the best places, so we could see plenty of animals. We had a very good time together! We are very thankful and wish Baluku and the Kajie-team all the best - you are the BEST!

Absolutely Sublime.
Myself, my wife and my parents have just got back from Uganda after going on Kajie Safaris '8- Day Big-5, Gorillas & Chimpanzee Ultimate Trip'.
In short, we had the best holiday we've ever been on. Our tour guide/ driver was Arafat, who was very knowledgeable and experienced. He was a fantastic guide communicated with us well so we knew the itinerary and where and when we had to be places. Did a great job communicating with other guides within the National Parks trying to located 'The Big 5'. We managed to see all the animals we were hoping for and then some. We also had a laugh making some A.I videos with Grok :D
The lodges we stayed in surpassed all expectations, they were incredible, and the food at the lodges was superb. We would 100% recommend using Kajie Safaris if you are planning a tour around Uganda. Everything from the booking, to payments, communications with Ronald and his team etc was very smooth, and we felt completely relaxed through the process. And they're a local tour company rather than an intentional one.
Don't just think about it, book it!

Excellent tour operator in Uganda
Siamo due ragazze e abbiamo vissuto un’esperienza indimenticabile durante il nostro safari in Uganda con Kajie Safaris! La nostra guida e driver Bosco era estremamente preparata e appassionata, il paesaggio mozzafiato e la fauna selvatica davvero incredibile. Esperienza con i gorilla mozzafiato! Lodge bellissimi, sopra le aspettative e ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. É stato un viaggio davvero speciale. Consiglio vivamente Kajie Safaris a chiunque voglia esplorare l’Uganda in modo autentico, Ronald e il suo team sono stati sempre puntualissimi e gentili nel rispondere ad ogni nostra domanda! Cale cale!

Attentive, kind, responsive
We just spent eight extraordinary days in Uganda with Annette and Eddie, and this trip will undoubtedly remain etched in our memories.
From the very beginning, we were pampered and guided with remarkable care. Annette was an exceptional translator, always present, kind, passionate, and a great listener. Her perfect French, her cultural knowledge, anecdotes, and stories gave real depth to each place we visited. She made every journey lively and enriching, even when the road was sometimes longer.
Eddie, our guide, was impeccably professional. Always calm, attentive, and proactive, he made us feel completely safe at all times, whether on safaris, during transfers, or during activities.
We loved the diversity of experiences offered: safaris by car, boat, and on foot, which made the trip even more complete and immersive. The diversity of the landscapes, animals, and nature is simply breathtaking. Even on the long drives, the views were breathtaking, and Annette always had wonderful stories to share about each place we passed.
The lodges were chosen with great care: all were superb, comfortable, and offered impeccable service. The food was also excellent throughout our stay. We were fortunate enough to try many delicious local dishes, which made the experience even more authentic.
A huge thank you to Kajie for organizing this unforgettable trip. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience!

Responsive and attentive to our needs
An incredible trip to Uganda with Kajie! The organization was truly top-notch from beginning to end. The lodges were magnificent, very comfortable, and the service impeccable. The food was excellent, always varied and delicious.
We were lucky enough to have Annette as our guide: she speaks perfect French, is very kind, professional, and passionate. She taught us so much throughout our stay and was always attentive to our needs, which made the experience even more memorable.
A huge thank you also to Eddie, our driver and guide for the week: super friendly, helpful, and always smiling. We felt safe and perfectly supported at every moment.
The landscapes were breathtaking, the encounters unforgettable, and the overall atmosphere incredible. It was a human and cultural adventure that we will never forget. I recommend this agency without hesitation!

Alla scoperta dei big five!
E’ stata una magnifica esperienza in Uganda, superiore alle aspettative. In otto giorni abbiamo visto tutti i Bigfive - leone, leopardo, bufalo, elefante e rinoceronte (quest’ultimo nella riserva) oltre ai gorilla di montagna, agli scimpanze nella foresta e molti altri wild animals. La guida Baluku ha grande esperienza e un ottimo occhio nel trovare gli animali anche nel bush piu fitto, sempre disponibile a prolungare i game drive per portare a casa bellissime foto e molto ricordi. Impagabile la vista delle leonesse appollaiate sugli alberi e di ben tre leopardi, come la passeggiata tra le giraffe. Consigliato almeno un game notturno.

Fantastic service from a brilliant company!
Kajie Safaris provided the most exceptional service. Everything from the communication before the trip through to the trip itself. Eddie our tour guide was absolutely fantastic and could not have done more for us. Everyday was well planned out and all the accommodation was excellent and the food was superb. Seeing the gorillas was an absolute highlight but really the whole trip was amazing. I could not recommend this company more. If you’re looking for a company to use in Uganda then use Kajie!

Thank you so much, Kajie Safari!
Hello dear Kajie team,
Thank you so much for the wonderful time and everything you made possible for us.
You fulfilled our greatest wish: to see gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitat.
You put together a fantastic safari for us.
You, or rather you, Roland, were always there for us, at any time, and for all our questions.
You planned and organized everything perfectly for us. The lodges were a dream, and we were able to truly relax.
I would also like to mention the staff and managers of the lodges. They were simply wonderful, friendly, and everyone greeted us with a smile and was happy to see us.
We felt completely at home.
Roland was the nicest, best, and most flexible boss, and from the very beginning, we felt well taken care of at Kajie Safari.
Roland even arranged an earlier airport pickup so we didn't have to wait long.
Our tour started around 5 or 6 a.m. The pickup was on time, and when we saw Musimenta and Baluku, we knew we were in for the most wonderful and fun time with them.
Baluku is simply amazing. Please don't hesitate to plan and book such a fantastic safari with Kajie Safari.
Our guide, Baluku, tried to fulfill our every wish. He radiated positivity and is a truly kind person. He also explained a lot to us about nature, the animals, and much more.
We laughed a lot and spent a lot of time together. Roland is a good listener, and that's why he planned the perfect guide, Baluku, for us.
After our tour, we weren't just tourists and guides; we became friends.
We wouldn't want to miss this amazing time and still think back on it today.
We wish you, Musimenta, a great apprenticeship and know that you, too, will become a fantastic guide.
We would also like to mention Shivan and say thank you very much. She took us on a wonderful tour to the swamps and the village. There, we enjoyed a coffee tasting, and at the banana plantations, a schnapps and juice tasting. Shivan is a super nice and funny young woman; we had a great time with her.
Finally, for all of you who are still unsure whether to book your tour in Germany or directly with the agency on site!
Then don't hesitate and book with Kajie Safari.
The entire tour, the accommodations/lodges/staff, and the food were fantastic.
Roland is a great guy and perfectly plans the best tour for each individual. He listens and tries to fulfill and implement your wishes.
He has great staff, and through your conversations and emails, he knows which guide is the best fit for you. He was available to us at any time, and we received immediate answers to our questions.
The planned safari walks were superb, and the rangers, like everyone here, were incredibly friendly and explained a lot to us. We could ask them any questions we had.
We didn't do any night drives, so unfortunately, we can't comment on those.
Roland is a great guy and knows which guide would be the best fit for you. Dare to create your own safari with Kajie Safari! ❣️🤩

A reliable and high quality tour operator
We had a two nights, three day visit to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to do gorilla trekking. The trek was amazing, seeing the gorillas in the wild was such a privilege. Our driver and guide Sulait was there to meet us off the plane and took care of us for three days. He was a brilliant driver on the most challenging roads and a calm and reassuring presence at all times. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Exceptional
I did a two night gorilla trek safari and I am not exaggerrating when I tell you that my time was unforgettable. My tour guide Eddie was outstanding -- I always felt comfortable, safe and happy. He navigated some tricky roads with ease and went out of his way to deliver an amazing experience.
My first night was at Burunga Gorilla Lodge -- a new property with exceptional views. I could've spent hours on the main lodge deck or the deck in my room admiring the Bwindi forest. My standalone villa (?) was massive and the bed was among the most comfortable I've slept in. The cozy hot water bottle kept my toes warm overnight and was an unexpected treat. But there is no question that it is the staff that makes that lodge literally feel like home. Kudos to Judith, Bright and Clinton for making me feel like a queen.
The gorilla experience was magical and I got lucky with a relatively short hike and access to these beautiful creatures. Definitely bring the right shoes and prepare to get them muddy!
Second night was at Rwakobo Rock. My room was lovely and service also very kind and attentive. I felt very welcome. But the big surprise were the silly little monkeys I found peeking into my window, which then led me to a 45 minute session on my porch watching them play like kindergarteners. Heavenly.
The night game drive blew expectations out of the water as Eddie and the tracker were unrelenting until we found ourselves a gorgeous leopard. It was a very special moment to see this amazing cat in the wild.
And the following morning also did not disappoint -- a walking safari among a herd of more than 17 (I counted) giraffes. Quiet, peaceful, serene and awe-inspiring.
There is no question, though, that the highlight of the entire time away was the amazing service by Kajie. I had trouble with some last minute paperwork, and Josephine and her team went the extra mile to make sure it was complete. Eddie was a delightful companion and on our drives taught me a lot about Uganda culture, traditions and life. He made me feel very welcome.
I would 10/10 recommend Kajie to friends and hope to bring my sons with me next time!
