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!

Kajie Safaris — 5 incredible days I will never forget !!
I had the most incredible experience with Kajie Safaris on their 5-day tour, which included Gorilla Tracking, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Chimpanzee Tracking.
From start to finish, everything was flawlessly organized.
My guide and driver, Linus, was absolutely amazing — knowledgeable, funny, and a great conversationalist during the long drives. Most importantly, he consistently went above and beyond to make sure I had the most memorable experience possible — whether it was finding the perfect photography vantage point or surprising me with fresh passion fruit from a local market!
What I truly appreciated about Kajie Safaris was their flexibility and willingness to tailor the tour to my preferences. Linus often adjusted the itinerary on the spot to make sure I got the best out of every moment — and he succeeded beyond expectations.
The accommodations (Burunga Lodge and Elephant Hab Lodge) were both top-notch, and the food was excellent. The safari jeep was comfortable, and there was always plenty of water available throughout the trip.
Overall, I highly recommend Kajie Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic yet five-star Ugandan adventure. It was an experience I’ll never forget!

Great experience
We had an unfergottable experience, 12 days visiting all of uganda's natural parks (Murchison falls, Kibale forest , queen Elizabeth, bwindi impenetrable forest) .
Our guide, COLLINS, was truly professional and knowledgeable about everything. He explained everything we encontred and told us many interesting anecdotes. All the lodges were of a truly high standard.
The kajes adventure agency met all our needs. If you 're planning to come to Uganda, i recommend you rely on them.

A True contact with nature with confort and reliability
We went to a five days tour starting in Entebbe and finishing in Kigali. On the way we went for the chimpanzees, a wonderful experience, and for the Gorillas- a experience to be remembered for the rest of my life. After crossing to Rwanda the final experience was with the Golden Monkeys. Kajie Tours is a fantastic company. Baluku, our driver/guide is a great guy and able to solve everything during the trip. It was funny, relaxing, and a great experience thanks to the structure put at our disposition. Excellent hotels, good meals, easy cross boarding. Everything worked very well. Thanks Baluku! Thanks Ronald!

friendly and professional
We booked an 11-day round trip with Kajie Tours. Our journey included, among others, Sipi Falls, Moroto, Kidepo, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. The booking process was very transparent, and Ronald responded quickly and helpfully to all our questions.
We were traveling as a couple with Arafat as our guide in a 4WD and had a wonderful time. Arafat was a fantastic guide who explained everything we wanted to know about Uganda in a very engaging and friendly way. Not only was he an excellent wildlife expert and spotter in the national parks, but also an outstanding driver on some of the challenging dirt roads. We had initially considered self-driving and were more than once very glad we hadn’t – it was so valuable to have someone with us who knew all the conditions and local details.
The wildlife and landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, and Arafat always knew the best spots, so we ended up seeing practically every animal we could have wished for – even leopards, lions, and hyenas. We also had the unique experience of walking among rhinos and giraffes.
The lodges were all excellent, beautifully located, and more luxurious than I had expected. The food was great as well, with a more European style in the lodges, while Arafat also introduced us to some delicious local dishes along the way.
All in all, I can 100% recommend Kajie as a very professional safari operator and Arafat as an outstanding guide.Ja

Exceeding expectations, a perfect journey.
Exceeding expectations, a perfect journey.
We contacted Kajie Travel Agency for a 7-day trip to Uganda and Rwanda. When booking the itinerary in advance, the travel agency manager Ronald, and s ecretary Maxine were friendly and patient, with quick and timely communication and feedback. Our driver Mr. Collins has excellent driving skills, ensuring our safety. The car is hygienic and spacious. He has good time management, and takes care of us carefully, considers everything thoroughly and kind. He has a good eye sight to spot out various animals, including endangered shore bills, to us on the safari and on the road, accompanying us on a pleasant journey.
Accommodation: A luxurious hotel with panoramic views, spacious and bright rooms, and high-quality ecological environment. At the hotel in Bwindi Park, you can overlook the misty forest and enjoy the sunrise and sunset, which is very picturesque. At the hotel in Elizabeth Park, there is 24-hour security to ensure safety, as there are warthogs and hippos lurking at night. The hotel in Kibale Park is located in the rainforest, where you can fall asleep at night with the wonderful sound of the forest. All hotel staff provide warm and attentive service.
Catering: Basically dining at hotels, hygienic and delicious, tasting local steamed banana dishes like Matooke, as well as various Western style dishes.
Travel experience: In Rwanda, I saw groups of cute golden monkeys. In the Bwindi National Park in Uganda, we successfully chased after the family of gorilla XMas, a silver backed gorilla, and his family (including two cute little gorillas); In Kabile, tracking chimpanzees (more than ten, some lying on the ground resting, and one climbing a tree to eat fruit); I saw animals such as leopards, lions, elephants, water buffaloes, hippos, etc. in Elizabeth National Park. I saw a group of elephants drinking water and playing around in the Kazigna channel, various waterbirds, as well as water buffalo and hippopotamus. We have gained unforgettable memories and a very worthwhile adventure trip.
Finally, thank you to Kajie Travel Agency for arranging an exciting trip for us.

Breathtaking from start to finish.
My family and I spent a 13-day safari exploring the amazingness of Uganda thanks to Kajie Safaris. Before starting the trip, communication with Ronald was fast, concise, and very open to addressing any doubts regarding the trip and the country. Ronald gave us the best itinerary possible and was open to making modifications to adapt to our preferences.
Once the trip started, a cool guy was waiting for us at the airport with an amazing Toyota Land Cruiser. This cool guy was our guide Colly, who would become part of our family at the end of the trip. We owe him everything... his professionalism, his explanations, his driving skills, his pictures, his jokes and his humanity were something we couldn't expect to be better. He was responsible for carrying out the planned itinerary and proposing new activities that suited our interests. We have to thank him for being so thoughtful, asking every moment if everything was good and striving to make the best trip for us. By the time he opened up to us, letting us know more about him and the culture in Uganda. We know the relationship with the guide is essential for having the best safari experience, but Colly fulfilled our expectations by far. We want to thank him for his attitude and dedication to making our holidays memorable. Thank you, my friend, you will forever be one more member of our family.
Regarding our stay, the lodges were located in amazing sceneries, so we were able to relax after the long days and enjoy the views and nature around. The services that Kajie Safaris chose for us were the best we could have. We didn't find any inconvenience or misunderstanding during the trip, so we feel glad to have chosen this company.
We are back home, with a smile on our faces and Uganda in our hearts. We encourage everyone who is considering a trip to Uganda to trust Kajie Safaris and pray that Colly will be your guide.
Thank you Kajie!
