Pamoja Tours, truly no other way!!!
5/5

I spent 5 weeks in the beautiful country of Uganda. There is no way I could have had a better experience. Extremely knowledgeable of everything the country has to offer, and the company was even better. Very loving and dedicated to everything that Pamoja Tours says it has to offer. Honestly, didn’t just meet a tour guide but a lifelong friend, (Amos Kaggwa) thank you for doing what you do. God bless you always, and thank you for an unforgettable amazing experience. If you make it to Africa, you definitely need to experience it with Pamoja Tours!

Great for families!
5/5

Sperito was easy to communicate with. He was prompt with replies for questions we had. He made the experience so easy! We just had to get there and he did the rest. There was always plenty of bottled water in the van. He was great with our children and they felt very comfortable. He was very accommodating even when we needed to change our itinerary a bit. We had an amazing time traveling through Uganda, going on safari, zip lining, quad biking, and relaxing at Wild Waters Lodge. The experience and the professionalism of Pamoja Tours and Travel was excellent! We will definitely be back.

Top Notch Customer Service!
5/5

From the first communication with Pamoja Tours and Travel, I knew we would have a fantastic experience. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. They were always quick to respond when I had questions. They helped us get to our hotel from the airport, stopping along the way to exchange some money. Our safari was so, so fun! Our guides and driver seemed to enjoy the trip as much as we did! I cannot recommend this company high enough!

Amazing Experience with Pamoja Tours
5/5

If you are traveling to East Africa you have to let Pamoja tours take care of your travel details. The team was amazing and personable and so delightful to work with. They made international travel simple and easy. From scheduling our days, to coordinating our safari, to making sure we got from one location to the next seamlessly they took amazing care of our tour group. I will highly recommend this company to any friends traveling to East Africa and hope to use them again for future travel plans. They are awesome to work with!

Very pleased!
5/5

We've recently finished a 10 day tour of Uganda with Pamoja Travels, visiting the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Parks, Lake Bunyonyi, and Gorilla and Chimp trekking.

As budget travellers, we shopped around a lot of tour companies and looked for ways to do it ourselves, but we couldn't see how it could be done any cheaper. Pamoja were by far the cheapest, and best value company for our itinerary.

An amazing adventure packed with several once in a lifetime moments; we couldn't have been happier with the experience and the beauty Uganda has to offer.

We were surprised by the great standard of food and accommodation we we're given, considering we were on a budget tour, with some really cool lodges along the way.

Our guide Fred was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and we we're really pleased with the flexibility he allowed us, and the prompt and professional manner in which he and the office dealt with a discrepancy on the itinerary.

Upon arrival at the airport we also met the owner, and the planner who had been our main point of contact, which was a really reassuring sign that we were in good hands.

The only downside on the whole trip was the speed of the car, as it seemed to struggle on main roads, which may have added a couple of hours to the longer drives.

Great value for money, amazing service and one of the most diverse, friendly and interesting countries we have been to - would definitely recommend Pamajo Travels!!

Thanks again from Joe, Jackie and Mama!!

Great
5/5

We did as a couple an 8 day safari (mid range) with Pajoma in Uganda. Everything was well planned. Our guide Letisha, probably one of the very very few female guides was perfect! We saw all the animals we expected, including a leopard. The chimpanzee and gorilla tracking were great. All lodges were good and the food was always arranged with us, also for vegetarians there was always something. Only the hotel in kampala disappointed us, I would like to book another hotel in the future. All in all a trip that we would repeat immediately!

What a great way to discover Uganda!
5/5

Just returned from a three day safari with Pamoja Tours & Travel, and I had the privilege of having Sperito Mukiibi as my guide. What an amazing trip it has been. The beauty of the nature, how close you get to lions, baboons, antelopes, elephants, giraffes and many more. But for all of that to discover you need a good guide. One that knows the routes and the places. Sperito @ Pamoja is one of those guides. He is very knowledgeable and shares the insights of Uganda in a clear way. He also has the flexibility to go and see other things if you want to. I went onto a cultural walk in a little village in Pakwatch that Sperito had arranged with a local guide.
All in all a fantastic experience, mostly enabled by a great guide. Thank you Pamoja. Thank you Sperito.

Pamoja Tours were great, even individualized our Murchison Falls Safari!
5/5

The office staff (Regina) listened to our needs, noting our limited budget and time and individualized the 3 day safari in Murchison Falls to suit those needs. They were FULL days but such a beautiful adventure thanks to Amos, our guide who was both an excellent driver and incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. We saw all of the big 5 (elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, water buffalo) plus giraffes, antelope of different species, baboons, monkeys, hippo, crocodiles and birds, butterflies, bugs and lizards of all kinds. Finishing the tour at the magnificent Murchison Falls was a perfect ending. Highly recommend this company and both Regina as the tour arranger and Amos as a guide. They even did pick up and drop off at our hotel in Kampala. Ask about any personalizations you might need!

Everything perfect!

I’m so happy I’ve booked through Pamoja! First they exactly offered the trip of our dreams. We exchanged and they perfectly understood what was the best for us.
And secondly we had the best guide we could have, professional, great knowledge of the region, very nice and flexible. Thank you so much Tyson, our trip wouldn’t have been so perfect without you!

Excellent tour with a reliable company and excellent guide
5/5

Communication was good, efficient, accurate.
Everything promised and planned was fulfilled to precision.

The guide, Zaid, was excellent: very professional and reliable, friendly and most accommodating. His continuing affort to see that all went well made the tour a wonderful experience.

The Toyota vehicle was very old, though sturdy, and worked well, but its age showed in some respects regarding comfort, especially with seat environment, too weak a suspension system, and difficult to operate seat belt.

The tour covered all major and intersting sites, as promised and beyond, and all technical and administrative aspects were well taken care of.
Hotels and lodges were fine except a few where hot water was not always available.
Meals were mostly good, except in one location (Kidepo) where portions were insufficient.

During discussions with the office that led to the tour, some price quotes seemed too high, which required further negotiation in order to reach reasonable agreements.

Some members of staff were clearly interested in meeting the needs and wishes of the customer and his well being, while others focused mostly on payment details in a manner that could be more sensitive.

In conclusion, it was an excellent tour, rewarding and most enjoyable, with a very reliable and experienced guide who went out of his way to ensure all went well.
At the same, vigilance and close attention during cost discussions prior to concluding the itinerary can prove money saving.
