A very professional and reliable tour company that went above and beyond to make our trip memorable!
5/5

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Pamoja Tours for making our nine-day trip so memorable. We had a wonderful time with you guys and would love to come back one day!

First off, I have to say that the travel consultant Regina was very pleasant in our initial contact. She answered all my questions with a quick responding time, provided different options and rates, and advised on various aspects such as weather, categories and best time to visit until the itinerary was perfect. The owner Mr. Sperito Mukiibi picked us up at the airport personally and was very laid back and friendly, which immediately put us at ease after our long flight. Upon our request, he also took us to have a delicious Rolex (must try!) on our first day. We felt like both of them went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time during our tour. Also, they went the extra mile by making our Valentine’s Day in Uganda unique.

Our guide City Tyson is a very positive and knowledgeable person, and through him we learned so much about the animals and the environment. He was always able to answer any questions we had about the wildlife or history of the area we were visiting and is truly a walking encyclopedia. A Bwindi native himself, he also made sure we got into the best group for gorilla tracking :) He also took us to try various fruits and dishes during our drives and organized two spontaneous “picnics” with marvelous views and delicious snacks.

We had a very smooth trip despite the road condition and long distance. The lodges we stayed at were each unique in their own way, and had great views and amenities. The food in the lodges was amazing, particularly the local one. The lodge we enjoyed most and recommend was Mahagony Springs in Bwindi, not to be missed if you go for gorilla tracking!

At the end of our tour, the team of Pamoja Tours met us again personally and asked us for our feedback on our tour and made sure we were happy with how it went. We will definitely recommend Pamoja to everyone who visits East Africa and would go for them again when we have the chance.

Amazing safari trip
5/5

Our group travelled from Kampala to Murchison Falls and the drive to there was very comfortable. In the safari we got to see all the animals that you could see while visiting there. The accommodations were very nice and the food there was amazing. The 3 day trip was just perfect.

He was a competent, efficient, organized task master with a sense of humor and an excellent driver.
5/5

Pamoja Tours, led by Charles Oyer is a company that is diverse and comprehensive with their itineraries, culturally conscious, flexible and efficient. They did exactly what they said they would do from reservations to the National Parks, cruises, accommodations and planning.
Our diversified life affirming experience was created with input from my travel companion, myself and our extraordinarily knowledgeable guide Charles. He did everything in a timely fashion so that we had reservations for the Gorilla Habituation, Chimpanzee trekking, Golden Monkey tracking, cruises, rhino sanctuary and visits to Diann Fosseys’ museum, walk almost to her gravesite and , Genocide Museum. He arranged for us to visit his home village Mubaku, meet the people, see how they live and visit the schools. It was enriching and beyond measure to be with the big 5, LIons, Buffalo, elephants, rhinos and leopards in their natural habitat during two Safaris. It was humbling to meet and talk to the people in Mubaku to learn about the efforts being made to improve their situation. Our accommodations were comfortable. We moved every two days which was very doable. We were able to cover a lot of ground with experiences along the way so the drives were just fine.
Overall we absolutely thoroughly and completely loved this entire trip.

Outstanding Uganda Tour to see Gorillas!
5/5

I had the best tour to go see gorillas! The two accommodations organized for me were just amazing. You get to see so much of Uganda on the lengthy drive to the national park. David, my driver, was the coolest guy and super supportive when I needed his assistance.

And for the gorillas, I saw a silverback and a mother and 2-week baby up close! It was probably the best day of my life.

Highly recommend this tour operator for the quality of the tour and their amazing support. Will have memories for life.

My wife and I traveled with Pamoja Tours and Travel on a 6 Day Uganda Safari. Our guide City Tyson was very knowledgable about all the parks and animals.
Regina was very responsive in replying to all our questions and we highly recommend them.

Worth it
5/5

We went on a 3-day gorilla trekking trip, but ended up extending the trip thanks to our wonderful guide Sperito, who always plans and tailors the best trips for us. His flexibility makes our vacation time more relaxed and filled with memorable experiences! We got to see Lake Mburo National park in addition to Bwindi impenetrable rainforest and Lake Bunyonyi. The accommodations on this trip were also definitely my favourite from all I have ever been to! Gorilla trekking was unforgettable, Bwindi is a magical place in the morning fog and the mountain gorillas so amazing to witness in their natural habitat. I can say the trip was worth evey penny.

Previous trip we took with Pamoja Tours was a tour to Jinja and Sipi Falls, and also Ssezibwa Falls on the way. We did white water tubing on the Nile and abseiling in Sipi Falls, and both experiences made me absolutely overcome myself and gave me adrenaline rushes I've never felt before. Experiencing the rapids of the Nile and the breathtaking nature of Sipi Falls left a lasting impression that I'll always be greatful for. Sipi especially is a place I recommend everyone to see!

Sperito and Daniel were great guides to us, answering questions and listening to our wishes, in addition to sense of humor that makes the trip more fun. I can say Sperito has become a friend! Pamoja is a great company with great values ja respectable ambitions and a desire to make a difference not only in great tourism experiences but also for the wellbeing of the local communities. Supporting them supports a good cause and rewards you greatly in return.

Very helpful guide, Would definitely recommend!
5/5

Our tour guide was very helpful and made us feel safe in Uganda. The touring car was very comfortable also and we were always feeling safe, even in hectic traffic places like kampala. The guide knew a lot about the animals and the way of life in Uganda, but there was also nice banter during the tour. Overall a 10/10.
