We have used Ngoni safaris three different times, for three very different trips in Uganda. Each time we have been thrilled with the groups they have paired us with and had amazing and memorable experiences!

Highly recommended
Highly recommended!!
I contacted Ngoni safaris-only 2 weeks before my arrival in Uganda-requesting a customized 3 day safari in Murchison while staying in specific lodges in both Destinations. Sedrick's communication was excellent all the way. He helped me create my dream holiday in this beautiful country and was quick to answer all of my questions in a professional and friendly way.
Sedrick was also my guide and I have to say that he is the best guide I could ever have asked for. Highly knowledgeable, kind, professional, friendly and with a clear love and respect for nature/animals and his job. He truly turned this trip into a once in a lifetime adventure.
I will definitely book with them again, the next time I will get the opportunity to visit Uganda.
Thank you for everything !

If I could do it again I wouldn't hesitate
If you could gurantee the same team, group and even half the wildlife encounters I'd book it up tomorrow. We were very lucky with both the wildlife and to have such an enthusiastic and fun group of guides and guests - which made the trip all the better. The locations are stunning - in two days in the Murchison falls national park we saw the big 5 and had an epic balloon ride at sunrise.
Then we were off to Ziwa for Rhinos and the rhinos, with the smiles getting wider as the wildlife encounters got better. At Jinja even novice rafters got to experience the thrill of white water and again the provided photos and videos had us all laughing and reliving the day. The Adrift campsite was also brand new and had great facilities. So the experiences built, Murchison has impressive waterfalls and the boat trip was a good way to get out of the heat of the day. Gorilla tracking in Bwindi again had us being lucky, being in the middle of chimps hunting, a once in a lifetime opportunity and not something to be expected, but if you get to experience time with the enigmatic chimps you cannot be disappointed. Queen Elizabeth has less diversity of wildlife but still provided lots of Elephants and on the river you see birds and elephants everywhere. Lastly the gorillas - I did two treks and they were both different but magical experiences.
The first involved a long trek but we were surrounded by a group and followed them, experiencing interactions with several different family members. This would be a tough trek if you are not physically fit and used to walking up hills. The second trek involved spending an unforgettable hour with Xmas, the largest silverback in Bwindi and his 1 and 2 year old babies. We could not see other members of the family and the trek was shorter and easier, but a very close and magical encounter - when a baby gorilla looks at you from less than 7m you get a sense of how special and privileged your time with them is. You are also given certificates to help remember your time with these beautiful animals. The trip to the genocide museum was a very poignant reminder of what Rwanda has been through as well. Some facts - the trip involves a lot of early starts and quite a bit of travelling.
Your reward is the trip of a lifetime. The truck is large and spacious but keep things in the lockers or that room fills up quickly. If I could do the same or similar trip with the group and crew I would book it tomorrow, if you promised me half the wildlife too I'd still jump at the chance. Thanks Ngoni Safaris for another epic adventure.

One of our best trip experience
Our safari tour with Ngoni safaris was a dream! We visited three stunning parks during the day and stayed in beautiful and welcoming lodges in the evening. Something to point out is that our guide was so well-informed cautious and professional that our journey was brought to a whole other level by him. Could not recommend this tour enough! Hope to come back one day.

Amazing trip.
Booking the trip was made easy by a helpful, honest and caring company. Ngoni safaris director sedrick tailored our tour according to our time frame and preferences. Nothing was a problem. Our guide was 100% professional and accommodating. At all times he made us feel safe and comfortable. His knowledge and insight into his country, the wildlife and social factors made our experience far richer than we expected.
Overall it was a truly unforgettable trip. Thank you Ngoni safaris.

Great Experience at Murchison Falls
As a solo female traveler, assuring my own security has been a top priority while choosing a tour operator. I picked Ngoni after reading the review of another solo female traveler, and the experience couldn’t have been better! My guide, Sedrick, was very knowledgeable about the park, and did everything at his reach to make me feel comfortable and have the tour as natural as possible.
The cottage was also the best choice by far, providing me with comfort and very good food along my stay, in addition to a beautiful view of Lake Albert and a cozy garden.

Wonderful Experience
Ngoni Safaris was cost-effective, flexible and easy to speak with. There were numerous difficulties that we presented them: 1. Staying on the south side and having to cross into the park for every game drive. 2. Very last minute booking. 3. A birthday present that included a stay at Masindi Hotel which was out of the normal itinerary.
Yet they made it work, and the tour guide was friendly and always looking out for our needs. He was especially determined to find a lion for us on the game drive, and did not mind going back and forth on a precarious bridge while he waited for us to take a water taxi.
All in all, it was a good experience, and I would certainly recommend Ngoni Safaris again.

Once in a lifetime trip
From start to finish our experience with Ngoni Safaris was seamless. Every detail was taken care of, and we didn’t need to worry about a thing. Ben and Sedrick were wonderful hosts and tour guides, both hugely knowledgeable about their country. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience meeting the gorillas in Bwindi, along with four babies, and we had an exhilarating ride down the Nile on a white water raft !! Thank you so much Ngoni !!

Memorable experience with Ngoni Safaris
I had a wonderful time in Uganda with Sedrick from Ngoni Safaris. As a young solo female traveler, one of my biggest priority is safety and Sedrick earned my trust even before I had booked and I am glad to say that I started the tour as a tourist and ended as a good friend! Although my trip was cut short due to messy flight SOPs related to COVID that had a huge impact on my itinerary, Sedrick still managed to include all the highlights that he possibly could and made sure I ENJOYED Uganda. There wasn't a single time that I felt uncomfortable or out of place. Sedrick and one of his assistant guide Newton were not only great care-takers but also a fantastic company and friends to be with! I had a great time with them and will book with Ngoni anytime I am visiting Uganda. I recommend them 100%!
Book with them and you won't be disappointed
