A pleasure from start to finish!
5/5

I was skeptical and worried before we got to Uganda but not one single thing went wrong. Our guide Richard (Asiimwe Richard Kacururu) made sure that we were well looked after wherever we stopped. He also negotiated on our behalf and made sure that we were placed in the correct group for our gorilla visit. He made sure that we saw and experience both people and animals beyond my expectations. I recommend K Safaris without reservation!

A wonderful life time experience full of fun.
5/5

It was my first time visiting a Widelife Reservation Centre and I was initially apprehensive. My apprehensive soon gave way to fun in the hands of our able tour guide, Richard who thrilled us with stories about Uganda and the Widelife Centre. He made sure we visited all the different animals at the centre with the guidance of the Widelife centre guides. We latter has food and drinks.

The trip to the Source of the Nile and Lake Victoria was equally thrilling. We had lots of fun with the Deejay and music on the cruise. We ate deep fried Tilapia fish and drank Nile Special beer. Richard is really good at this job. Kudos to him.

Amazing experience, can't wait to go on another safari with Richard!
5/5

We were in Uganda for our son's wedding, so had not really had much time to plan out a safari. Richard was able to put together very quickly a tour for us. We had a great experience, and Richard was very knowledgeable about the animals. We were able to view a herd of elephants crossing the road, and a rare sighting of a leopard . The accommodations were good, and with more time Richard will be able to custom tailor to your specifications. We will definitely use him again if we get the opportunity!

Most charming, experienced and helpful tour operator in Uganda and Rwanda!
5/5

K Safaris has offered its services to the company since 2013 and we have never been disappointed. K Safaris was the tour operator of choice for our annual Uganda visit from 2013 to 2017. Touring with a group of 30 adults is no easy matter, but Richard unfailingly ensured that the organisers and visitors were happy, comfortable and satiated!
From arranging local transport within Kampala and surrounds, to booking cultural events and extended tours to the gorillas, K Safaris is your one-stop service provider when visiting Uganda.

Outstanding! Honest, knowledgeable and highly professional. I felt like I was travelling in a movie!
5/5

Everything was faultless, we received clear schedules. We were woken up in good time to ensure we reached our various destinations and adventures in a relaxed and highly enjoyable journey. Made stops at lots of points of interest which enriched our adventure.
I admit, the host Richard was always cheerful, helpful and very informative. I highly recommend K Safaris and Richard for the highest standard of safety and coordination of all activities and excursions.

We had a fantastic time with Richard exploring Uganda.
5/5

Our family spent two weeks in Uganda. Our son, working in SW Uganda at the time, booked with Asiimwe Richard from inside the country on advice of local friends. Our son had definite ideas about some remote places far from the SW that he wanted to experience. Along the way, we visited Kidepo, Murchison Falls and Queen in Richard's very capable Land Cruiser. His university-trained professionalism, local knowledge, interpersonal skills, expert driving and common sense combined with the magnificence of the country to keep us feeling secure and able thoroughly to enjoy the people, terrain and wildlife. We saw crocodile, elephant, hippo, ostrich, leopard, hyena, and (simultaneously!) lion and cheetah. Richard is very intelligent, thoroughly competent and has our absolutely highest recommendation. Those two weeks provided memories for a lifetime.

Our communications, the service, the safari were all excellent and lived up to or exceeded expectations.

A dream come true - Gorilla trekking
5/5

Richard who was my tour guide is an amazing person and I give him and his company my best recommendation.

I got in contact with Richard through a friend in Denmark and this was the best thing that could ever happen.
I called Richard and told him what I wanted to do and my budget. Let me be honest I did not give him an easy job. I basically just wanted to go on Gorilla Trekking in the other end of the country, in the most expensive season, alone, on a low budget, all parameters which don’t really go hand in hand. Even though I put Richard on a hard mission he managed to deal with it, to give me my dream trip. I will be forever grateful for the experience he made possible and made my biggest dream come true.
I had the most amazing experience trekking the Gorillas in Mgahinga National Park which was a dream come true.

As getting around in Uganda consist of a lot of driving I of course got to know Richard. He is a funny, careful, understanding, and sweet young man who knows a lot, and doing a trip with him will definitely not be something to regret

One of the great moments is when you visited our office and confirmed this trip on a very short notice but we are glad we pulled it off and it was successful. Our moment with you is when you had just finished tracking the gorillas and we cannot forget the great smile you wore that day. Thank you for choosing K safaris and loving us we cannot take it for granted

Richard deserves a ten star rating, he made our Uganda trip the best memory ever.
5/5

My family recently visited Uganda for the first time. We were very, very fortunate to have Richard for a tour guide. I can't say enough good things about Richard. He sent the schedule for the trip and he had organized it to perfection. Richard was so much fun to be with. He was always happy, laughing, sharing his knowledge with us. He is very punctual, he was never late. He is an excellent driver, as it is not easy to drive in Uganda. Also, he is very patient, we were always asking him to stop so we could take photos. He would make lots of long stops so we could just enjoy taking everything in. He's very kind and respectful, at one point he even made personal calls for me because of a lodge booking problem.
His safaris to Murchinson Falls and Queen Elizabeth were perfect. We saw elephants, lions, leopard, chimps, giraffes, water buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, and many more and all kinds of birds. Richard is the only person I would want as a tour guide in Africa.

Richard made this the dream trip of a lifetime.
5/5

When you first meet Richard, you feel like you have known him all your life. He greets you with a huge smile and you immediately know he will be fun to take you on safaris. This was my first trip to Uganda and Richard organized every aspect to perfection. We visited Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth. We saw many animals, chimps, elephants, leopard, lions, hippo, hyena, flamingos, to name a few. Richard knew I like birds and African coffee, so he surprised me by purchasing a bird book and coffee for me. Richard is very patient and did an excellent job of making sure he had us in the right spot to take a perfect photo, no matter how long it took. He is very knowledgeable and a competent driver, as it hard to drive in Uganda. I also, loved the drive through the villages and the people. I definitely have to go back and have Richard for my guide.

Richard is the best choice
5/5

We were travelling with Richard in 2016. It was our first experience with Africa and everything went quite well. We did more journeys later and after that we realized how good Richard had been. We can compare him to other African tour operators and due to this comparison Richard is really good choice. According to our experience you need someone clever, knowledgeable, with ability to think flexibly, when things go wrong and you are forced to change a plan, someone, who can give you in this situations new options and tell you truly pros and cons. These skills are more common among european or american professional tour operators, but in Africa are not. Then if you add his sense of humor and perfect English, you will have a great time with him with assurance, that he can handle problem situations.
We wish him good luck with tour guiding and many satisfied clients.
