A Magical 10-Day Journey with Uganda Ngoni Tour Operators
A Magical 10-Day Journey with Uganda Ngoni Tour Operators
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 10-day adventure with Ngoni Tour Operators, and I am still basking in the afterglow of an absolutely incredible experience. From start to finish, every aspect of the tour exceeded my expectations, leaving me with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the beauty of Uganda.
1. Impeccable Planning:
The Ngoni Tour Operators (Sedrick and Eddy) demonstrated meticulous planning, ensuring that every day was filled with diverse and enriching activities. From wildlife safaris to cultural encounters, each moment was thoughtfully curated, providing a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
2. Expert Guide:
Our guide Eddy was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about wildlife. His insights into Uganda's history, wildlife, and culture added depth to the experience, making every excursion an educational journey. His commitment to our safety and enjoyment was evident throughout the trip.
3. Unforgettable Wildlife Encounters:
Uganda's rich biodiversity came to life through the safari experiences organized by Ngoni Tour Operators. Witnessing majestic gorillas, elephants, jaguars, lions, and rare birds in their natural habitats was a dream come true. Eddy's expertise and respect for wildlife enhanced our encounters, making them both thrilling and respectful of nature.
4. Comfortable Accommodations:
The accommodations selected by Sedrick were not only comfortable but also immersed in the beauty of Uganda's landscapes. Whether nestled within lush greenery or offering breathtaking views of wildlife, each stay was a retreat in itself.
5. Seamless Logistics:
From airport transfers to internal transportation, every logistical aspect of the tour ran like clockwork. This allowed us to focus on enjoying the experience without any concerns about the practicalities of travel.
In conclusion, our 10 days with Uganda Ngoni Tour Operators were nothing short of magical. This journey not only showcased the incredible beauty of Uganda but also highlighted the company's dedication to creating meaningful, responsible, and unforgettable travel experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Ngoni Tour Operators to anyone seeking an adventure that combines luxury, culture, and a deep connection with nature.

One Stop Safari tour operator who can fil all your needs and then some.
We just returned from a 15-day Uganda Safari with 2 x Gorilla trekking,1 x Chimp Habituation and 1 x Golden Monkey trekking. (Bwindi Forest)
Ngoni Safari was a great company to deal with from start to finish. Sedrick was quick to reply to emails and easy to work with. I would highly recommend their services for your next safari in Uganda. We had James as our driver/guide and he was fantastic! James took the time for our special requests and delivered. Including some great coffee to bring back home with us. The Gorilla and Golden Monkey trekking was difficult and took us approximately 5-6 hours to complete each one. Proper trekking shoes and clothing are recommended. Thank you, James and Ngoni Safaris for making this a memorable experience that we will cherish!

The trip of a lifetime
We recently completed a 9-day Uganda Safari. The tour from beginning to end was wonderful. . Elly, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and helpful and went out of his way to make our tour memorable. Sedrick made sure we had the best accommodation and even upgraded our last accommodation so that we can relax at the end of a tiring trek.
The safari was beyond any expectation I had. I would highly recommend Ngoni Safaris.

Great
The booking went smoothly and our questions, desires and queries were answered in a timely manner via email. When the time of the trip approached, the faster communication was via whatsapp. The driver / guide David was amazing, the trip went really well and we explored the country. The company made an extra effort and assisted us with a delayed luggage. Above all, a great experience.

Unforgetable Journey
The tour was an amazing and well organized. We did the tour as AfricanFive.com - the Polish tour operator to check an opportunities given by Uganda. Ngoni safari planned the tour well, we have seen even more than expected. Some small amendmends made on the road by our guide - David were incredible valuable. The Ngoni team included Sedrick and David did the best possible job to make our tour unforgetable. We are strongly recommending Ngoni Safari!

Fantastic trip to Lake Mburo
We went on a four-day trip with Ngoni from Kigali to Lake Mburo and the equator. Communication with Sedrick was quick and very interactive. We had a fantastic trip. Our driver/guide Twaha was great and really listened to our requests. Twaha made sure that we got to see and do everything we wanted.
We can highly recommend the cycling safari in Lake Mburo as well as Mihingo Lodge where we had a great stay!
Unforgettable
We came to Uganda for our honeymoon and did an 8 day trip to Kampala, Murchison, Queen Elizabeth NP, Kibale, Bwindi and Lake Bunyonyi. Rahim’s family is from Tanzania, and I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania, so we were very excited to come to Uganda - and learn some of the languages (Luganda, Tooro, Runyankore - all with help from Stanley!!).
Before coming to Uganda, we started off by having great communication with Sedrick! He was able to answer all questions we had, and made us feel at ease knowing that we did not have to do much planning besides picking out the tour that works best for us. He came with his associate, Jolly (who is absolutely lovely!), to the airport at 3AM to pick us up and offered a full tour day for us in Kampala our first day (we were exhausted since we came from another jam-packed day before landing here so opted to relax instead). Sedrick was so willing to help us with anything we might need, it was amazing to meet him. He even went above and beyond when one of our flights was canceled the day before we were supposed to leave to help us rebook.
After our day in Kampala, we were ready at 0700 the next morning to meet our driver/tour guide extraordinaire - Stanley. We cannot say enough great things about Stanley. He is the absolute BEST and we are grateful we were fortunate to luck into having him as our driver/tour guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable, is an amazing driver, is kind, courteous, willing to have fun with us and joke around, and all around an awesome human we are glad to call our friend now. He made sure we had the sweetest pineapples, the best bananas, and always made us feel cared for. Our drives were absolutely beautiful! Somehow, the lodges knew it was our honeymoon (I'm thinking Sedrick may have something to do with that!) and every place we stayed had a special surprise for us, which was so nice.
We were very fortunate to see lions, hyenas, so so many hippos, crocs, warthogs, cobs, waterbucks, Jacksons, giraffes, elephants, zebras, chimpanzees, baboons, gorillas, rhinos, and the ever elusive leopard. We did have one game drive where all we saw were some cobs/warthogs (we kept joking the animals went on vacation to the Congo that day!) - it STILL was such a fun time being in the open jeep and soaking in the landscape. The tour guides at every place we stopped at were amazing! Stanley had told us a lot too, so it was good information reinforcement (and he made us look a bit smarter!). The community walk in Kibale is so wonderful - we met a lot of great people there (learned to make baskets, coffee, banana juice/beer/gin, and talked with the village witch doctor). The chimpanzee walk was unforgettable, as was the gorilla trek. We ended up on a medium difficulty trek, mainly because we ran into 2 jungle elephants and had to divert our path. One of our favorite times was when Stanley taught us some card games back at the lodge after dinner whilst it rained - similar to Uno! We had so many awesome adventures, and our trip was doubly amazing because we had such a great driver and new friend in Stanley. He made sure we could see everything we wanted to when places became a bit crowded (eg lions, leopards sightings) and adapted quickly to our sense of humor and adventure.
If you're comparing different companies and hemming and hawing about price/experiences/etc. - look no further. Ngoni Safaris is absolutely the way to go!

Ngoni Safaris are unique in the service and experienced they offer and their guides are world class.
Hi Sedrick, I wasn’t sure where the best place to leave a review of our recent trip with Ngoni was so I thought I’d send it to you here first.
First of all I would like to say thank you to David for making our 8 day experience so incredible. He was a fantastic guide and made all our experiences extra special by making sure we got the best rangers, views, and opportunities to view the amazing animals in all the national parks.
We stayed in the most fantastic accommodation which exceeded expectations. All the staff at each venue went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and relaxed. The journeys between each national park were breathe taking, and again David made sure we got to see hidden gems such as the Crater Lakes. David’s professional knowledge on the game drives was excellent and we learnt so much from him. He made us feel very relaxed and was happy to answer any questions we had.
We got to spend a fantastic evening at Buffalo Safari Lodge celebrating my fiancés 30th birthday. David made sure everything was catered to and he helped to organise a surprise birthday cake for James. I am very grateful for his assistance with this.
We have had the most magical experience in Uganda. We feel incredibly blessed to have seen so much and be able to experience the wildlife, culture and history of the country. It truly is the Pearl of Africa, which David displayed to us so wonderfully. We cannot thank Ngoni Safaris enough for this organised trip of a lifetime and all the “behind the scenes” organisation that went in to making sure we enjoyed every minute. Thank you, we can’t wait to return for our next visit. Sarah Scott and James Staddon. 24th June - 1st of July. 8 day gorilla, chimp and game drive experience.

The trip of a lifetime
This was the trip of a lifetime. Ngoni Safaris Uganda planned out our itinerary perfectly which also provided some time for relaxing as well. Our guide was David and he made sure everything was perfect and stress free for us. He was very patient answering our questions and had to do some fancy maneuvering over some bumpy dirt roads! We highly recommend Ngoni Safaris. Don't forget to bring you Pepto Bismol.
