Amazing and perfect
The trip with Ngoni Safaris was spectacular; words can't do it justice.
From the very first moment, Sedrick answered all our questions and made suggestions for improvements. Communication was fluid, clear, and quick, which made the whole process much easier, as they took care of everything.
The vehicle, the flexibility with schedules, punctuality, the quality of the lodges, the service, and the dedication of the lodge staff were hard to beat. A truly wonderful safari and vacation that will leave Uganda etched in our memories and hearts forever.
I want to give a special mention to our driver, Steven. His skill and confidence behind the wheel, his experience, his knowledge of the places, roads, and people, as well as his patience, made him a key travel companion and leader, contributing to the spectacular experience I can't stress enough. He even organized lunch, dinner, cakes, and balloons when he learned we had a birthday coming up, which was going to be a surprise. He's always cheerful, he listens, he's very polite, and he's always giving 100%. How lucky we are!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An incredible experience in Uganda with NGONI Safaris
Today we finished our safari in Uganda, and I’m leaving with the feeling that I’ve experienced one of those trips I’ll remember for a very long time. The itinerary was very complete and allowed us to discover completely different places and landscapes: Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi and Lake Bunyonyi. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife, went chimpanzee trekking and, of course, experienced one of those moments that stay with you forever: coming face to face with mountain gorillas in Bwindi.
The lodges were also a really lovely part of the trip. Each one had something special and they all fitted perfectly into the itinerary: from Tilenga Safari Lodge in the Murchison Falls area, to Turaco Treetops surrounded by forest, Enshama, Dorotia’s in Bwindi and finally Milele Lodge overlooking beautiful Lake Bunyonyi. It was wonderful to see the landscape and accommodation change as we travelled through the country.
But if I have to highlight one person above everyone else, it has to be Steven Schumacher, our “small boss” 😂. I honestly don’t think we could have had a better companion for this trip. As a driver, he is incredible. He managed to take us along some roads that, to be honest, I’m not sure should even be called roads 😂, and he did it with incredible skill, patience and, above all, safety. I never felt unsafe, even on the most challenging journeys.
As a guide, he was fantastic too. Always alert to every animal, making sure we didn’t miss anything and always happy to explain everything we were seeing. But what I will remember most about Steven is the person he is. He was warm, funny, polite, incredibly attentive and always so caring towards us. We had some great conversations, lots of laughs and many moments that we’ll probably remember for a very long time. And in the end, that’s what makes a trip go from being simply a good trip to becoming a truly special one.
Steven, thank you for taking such good care of us, for your patience, the conversations, the laughs and for making sure that even after hours on the road, we still felt ready for another adventure. 😂 It was a real pleasure having you as our driver, guide and travel companion. Our “small boss” has definitely earned a special place in our memories of Uganda. ❤️
And thank you to the whole NGONI Safaris team for organising this trip and making everything run so smoothly. I’m leaving Uganda with incredible memories, thousands of photos, a few sore muscles after the trekking 😂 and, above all, the feeling that I’ve had a truly wonderful experience.
Thank you for everything, NGONI. And thank you, Steven, for making this trip even more special. ❤️🇺🇬🦍
If I ever come back to Uganda, I really hope I get to meet my “small boss” again. Because after seven days together… he’s definitely become part of the trip! 😂

A dream fulfilled, a family expanded, and a heart forever in East Africa.
When I first dreamed of visiting East Africa, I hoped I would see incredible wildlife. I never imagined I would leave with a full heart, unforgettable memories, and what feels like a new son.
From the moment Ngoni Tours welcomed us, every detail was handled with such care that I never had to worry about a thing. The lodges were beautiful, the food was wonderful, and every guide they selected was knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about sharing their home with us.
The itinerary was perfectly balanced. We experienced breathtaking game drives, saw more incredible wildlife than I ever thought possible, and immersed ourselves in the cultures and communities that make East Africa so special. While the animals were spectacular, it was the people who truly stole my heart. Their warmth, kindness, and joy made every destination feel like home.
There is one person who deserves special recognition, Reagan. He began this journey as our guide, but by the end of our adventure, he had become family. His kindness, patience, sense of humor, knowledge, and genuine care made every day even more meaningful. I jokingly told everyone that I was bringing home a new son, but there is more truth to that than anyone realizes. Reagan, you will always have a special place in my heart.
To the entire Ngoni Tours team, thank you for making a lifelong dream come true. You didn't just plan a vacation, you created an experience that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you for showing me the beauty of East Africa through its landscapes, its wildlife, and most importantly, its incredible people.
I arrived hoping to check something off my bucket list. I returned with memories that will last forever and a piece of my heart that will always belong in East Africa.

They handled everything; I just fell in love with East Africa.
Ngoni Tours exceeded every expectation we had and created an experience that neither my mom nor I will ever forget.
This trip was my mom's lifelong dream, and thanks to the incredible team at Ngoni Tours, it became so much more than a bucket list vacation..it truly became the trip of a lifetime.
Every detail was thoughtfully planned. The lodges were beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly located. The food was consistently outstanding, giving us the opportunity to enjoy both local cuisine and familiar favorites after long days of adventure. Every transfer was seamless, and we never had to worry about a thing.
What really set Ngoni Tours apart, though, were the people they chose to represent them. Every guide was knowledgeable, passionate, professional, and genuinely cared about making our experience unforgettable. They didn't just point out wildlife.. they shared their passion for the animals, the history, culture, traditions, and heart of each country we visited. Reagan will always hold a special place in our hearts.
The itinerary struck the perfect balance between breathtaking game drives and meaningful cultural experiences. Of course, seeing gorillas, lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, giraffes, and countless other incredible animals was beyond anything I could have imagined. But what surprised me most was that the people we met along the way were every bit as remarkable as the wildlife. Their kindness, warmth, resilience, and generosity left an impression on me that I'll carry forever.
I boarded the plane excited to see East Africa's animals. I came home having fallen completely in love with East Africa itself.. its people, its landscapes, its cultures, and its spirit.
If you're considering an African safari or cultural adventure, I cannot recommend Ngoni Tours highly enough. They don't just plan vacations.. they create life-changing experiences and memories that will stay with you forever.
Thank you, Ngoni Tours, for giving my mom the journey she had dreamed about for years and for giving me a love for East Africa that I never expected. We are forever grateful.

It's an unforgettable experience and a nice trip.
The service is very good and comfortable. I like the trip.
fantastic！
This has been an absolutely wonderful trip. I never imagined I would have such an amazing experience before coming here.
First of all, the staff here are extremely warm, hospitable and patient, always ready to help us resolve any problems we ran into.
Secondly, Uganda boasts stunning natural scenery. We encountered silverback gorillas and visited Queen Elizabeth National Park, where we spotted a wide variety of wildlife including lions, elephants, buffalos, rhinos and crocodiles.
Thirdly, our accommodation was excellent. The resort was lovely and offered us a comfortable place to rest well. Our 4WD safari vehicle was also very clean and tidy.
All in all, every part of this journey was fantastic. I highly recommend everyone to travel to Uganda.

Excellent for gorilla trekking
We used Ngoni Safaris as a tour to trek with gorillas in Uganda. They were amazing and so helpful. We had some issues with last minute flight changes and the team and our guide, Mubarack, worked with us so that we could still see gorillas even with less time than intended.
