The guide made us feel extremely comfortable with the entire experience.
Everything was great. The one thing I would say is to have an emergency phone number before the trip starts.

An unforgettable experience
My friend and I did a 1 week safari with Buffalo Safari Camps and we had an amazing time. It was easy to book and all of our emails were answered quickly. They personalized our itinerary for what we were most interested in, including adding a hike to the Ik tribe. We were picked up on time and had no problems with transportation throughout our week. Rogers was our driver/guide and was amazing. He was very knowledgable about the animals and about Uganda in general. He was great at finding animals during our game drives and found the animals we were most interested in. Rogers was well prepared for all of our activities, even getting things the night before so we didn't have to wait in line. I would recommend Buffalo Safari Camps to anyone! We truly had a trip of a lifetime!!

Trip of a lifetime
We went on a bespoke 2 week safari around most of the main points of Uganda. It was arranged extremely well with fantastic communication throughout all of the planning stages. The price was extremely competitive and offered better accommodation lodges than other companies who were charging more. We always felt safe and all of our needs were attended to. Our driver Aire (elephant) was amazing and knew exactly where to go to find the best animals, it’s not just about luck. He had great knowledge of the different parks and knew where animals would usually be. Our chef, David, for the camping element was amazing and made better food on a camping stove then o could make in a full kitchen. It was great learning from them about Uganda. It was an amazing experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better safari company.

Unforgettable, great experience
We went on a week tour to Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo. It was an unforgettable journey and we enjoyed every minute!
The tours arranged were always well organized, interesting and a good mix. Emma our guide was just perfect. He knows and explained us a lot about culture, animals, plants etc. We can definitely recommend the trip and Buffalo to others.

I went on the 4 days trip, Queen Elizabeth Park and gorillas tracking, I saw beautiful landscapes and animals, a lot of unforgetable things.
Accomodations and food were very good, and our guide, Sunday, was just great, I thank him again for everything!

Queen Elizabeth Mweya Lodge Trip
I just did a safari to Queen Elizabeth National Park with Buffalo Safari Camps last week. It was one of the best and most relaxing trips I’ve been on in a long time. They arranged everything for us from the rooms to the game drives and boat rides. All we had to do was show up! Our main goal was to see the lions. On our first game drive in the early morning we didn’t see any. Our guide with Buffalo Safari Camps, Emma, said we should try the afternoon since it was colder and rainy. He said because of the weather the lions would be moving. Sure enough when we went on the afternoon game drive we did we saw lions! Their guides were very knowledgeable and were extremely friendly. I have already told people about this company and have already booked other people to use them. If I am ever doing a trip in Uganda they will be the only ones I use!

Amazing scenery and animals
Tim was so easy to work with and easy to communicate. We did a 4 day excursion including a rhino trek, chimpanzee trek, 2 game drives and 2 river cruises. Emma was our driver and guide. He was fantastic. We were able to find lots of animals (lions, giraffe, elephants, hippos, etc...). Absolutely zero stress for the whole trip. Emma took care of everything. Rhino and chimpanzee trek were spectacular to be that close to these amazing creatures. Lodging was such a relaxing part of trip. Amuka Lodge for one night and Bakers Lodge for 3. Bakers lodge was so, so nice. The staff were incredible. Right on the Nile, hippos just in front of our cabin in the water. The food was first rate. All in all a wonderful experience. Tim and his team do it Right!!!

Budget Safari to Murchison Falls
Buffalo Safari Camps came highly recommended from friends who live in Uganda and used their services. Our experience was top notch from booking, to game drives, visiting the falls all the way thru our return to the airport in Entebbe. Our guide Emma was fun loving and helpful, he made everyone from my wife to out youngest son feel comfortable, safe and excited all at the same time. His knowledge and flexibility made the trip an outstanding - once in a lifetime experience. If you have the opportunity - I highly recommend staying in the park. We stayed at Pakuba Lodge and our travel time was greatly reduced. Tim built an excellent literary for us that hit every highlight in the area in just 3 days. If your looking for a budget friendly family adventure with the feel of a private experience, Buffalo Safari Camps Budget Safari to Murchison Falls is a great choice.

Fantastic experience and excellent guide.
Our family of 2 adults and 3 children visited Murchison Falls with Buffalo Safari Camps in July. We had a fantastic time. Our guide Emma was extremely knowledgable and friendly and we all really enjoyed his company for the 3 days. We stayed at Murchison Treehouse where the food and accommodation were great. The morning safari drive was the highlight of the trip and we also loved the boat trip and hike up the falls. We booked the trip at short notice with the help of Dan who was quick to respond to our queries. I will definitely recommend Buffalo Safari Camps to friends or family visiting Uganda.
Top tour - value for money, safe driving and a knowledgeable guide as well.
Just completed a two week safari with Buffalo Safari Camps and wanted to share what a fantastic experience it was. Our guide and driver, Emma, did a fabulous job in taking us on a full circuit of Uganda, while taking account of our interests and needs. We always felt safe with his driving (not something to be taken for granted in Uganda), things ran to time and he provided some great insights during our travels. Buffalo put together a full itinerary for us with all accommodation, meals and activities included. We had specialist guides in each of the parks and other attractions and found the whole experience to be an excellent one. Would definitely recommend their services.
