Professional and warm.
We truly enjoyed our private safari in Kenya and Uganda with Kubwa Five Safari. From start to finish, the experience exceeded our expectations.
Our drivers and guides, Erik in Kenya and Mustafa in Uganda, went above and beyond to show us as many animals as possible. Both were proactive, knowledgeable, and incredibly warm, which made us feel safe, comfortable, and welcome at all times.
The trip itself did not disappoint. Communication with the company via WhatsApp was excellent—quick, clear, and reassuring—so we always felt well taken care of throughout the journey.
The itinerary was perfectly balanced, combining incredible wildlife, stunning landscapes, and meaningful interactions with local communities. The absolute highlights were trekking with the chimpanzees and gorillas—an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
We highly recommend Kubwa Five Safari to anyone looking for a well-organized, personal, and truly memorable safari adventure.

The guides, Eric (Kenya) and Mustafah (Uganda) and were extremely knowledgeable, professional and always willing to help.

Their passion and understanding of the environment really enhanced the trip.

It was a really good and professional service
We had an incredible safari experience in Ruanda and Uganda. From the very beginning, the service was extremely professional, well organized, and reliable. Communication before and during the trip was clear and prompt, which made us feel well taken care of at all times.
The guides were highly knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about wildlife, nature and the county itself. Every detail of the itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to fully enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Overall, this safari exceeded our expectations in every way. We felt safe, comfortable, and truly welcomed throughout the journey. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a high-quality, professionally run safari experience in Rwanda and Uganda.

Very professional tour operator, great safari with excellent guide
Kubwa is based in Uganda so I was a bit uncertain how well they would know the southern Tanzanian parks, but they gave us very good and specific advise and helped us create a very good, customized itinerary.
Communication was generally very good, although at one point there was a delay in their responses, which I think was because they were very busy at the time. They were very flexible and updated the quotation multiple times as we fine tuned the plan together. We asked multiple operators for quotations and Kubwa was competitive on price and were the ones who gave us the best advise and thus gave us the best impression so we chose them.
Everything worked exactly as planned, and our guide Davis was exceptionally good. We've been on many safaris and we must say that Davis is at the very top of the range of guides we've had. His animal spotting was out of this world, and his instincts on where to find animals was amazing. When you book with Kubwa you will most likely get a different guide than we did, but considering how positive everyone is when reviewing Kubwa, it seems to me they have a very good network of guides they work with across all countries.

PERFECT
The journey begins even before we leave: together with the entire team, we planned our itinerary based on our needs, booking all gorilla, chimpanzee, and golden monkey permits in advance. During the organization process, they provided prompt and precise responses and paid great attention to every detail, from activities to accommodations. Throughout our trip, the driver was always punctual, precise, and always ready to accommodate our requests and resolve any unforeseen issues (because yes, during a two-week road trip in Uganda, unexpected things can happen).
An incredible trip, made possible by their organization.
Truly satisfied.

A Thrilling, Unforgettable Experience!!
My wife and I are from the St Louis area in the USA. We had never visited Africa, so I carefully researched safari providers. After looking through numerous itineraries we settled on Kubwa Five’s “THRILLING 18 Day Safari”.
The itinerary takes you through the Big Three East Africa countries, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, to see not only The Big Five and Great Migration, but also Chimpanzee and Gorilla trekking. It includes visits to five national parks in Uganda, four in Kenya, including the Masia Mara, where we saw the Great Migration, as well as three parks in Tanzania, where we saw the breath-taking Serengeti.
When Kubwa Five said this would be a THRILLING safari they did not disappoint, it was THRILLING indeed. My wife is a photographer and took over 20,000 photos during this 18-day odyssey that brought us face to face with a silver back gorilla and his family, a large family of Chimpanzees (so close they rub against you as they pass by), numerous lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, warthogs, buffaloes, birds, crocodiles, hyenas, you name it. You are thoroughly immersed in nature, more than you can ever be in any zoo, no walls, no plexiglass, no bars, no nothing, just you and these amazing animals in THEIR natural environment, you are the outsider (this will ruin your visit to any zoo, forever…sorry).
In addition to the animals, you will be given the opportunity to participate in the cultures of East Africa, including visits to pygmy and Masia villages, as well as day to day life in a small village in Uganda. I encourage you to embrace this aspect of the tour, it will change you!
From the start, Betty Alum, in the front office, was easy to deal with and very responsive to all of our questions and concerns. At one point, we considered skipping Uganda altogether due to the Ebola “scare” (which is all it was), but Betty reassured us (correctly) that they would take good care of us AND THEY DID! Getting through customs both in Africa and back into the USA was a snap, thanks to the pre-coordination of Kubwa Five and their outstanding guides.
Speaking of the guides, they were very knowledgeable and committed to giving you a first-class experience. Samuel Kansansula in Uganda had twelve years of experience as a guide and it showed, everything was thoroughly explained and we felt well taken care of under Samuel’s guidance. In the Masia Mara, our guide brought along a Masia tribesman who showed us all the best spots in this amazing park as the Great Migration unfolded in front of your eyes. In Tanzania, Ayubu Luhala, who has 15 years of experience guiding tourists in the Serengeti, did an outstanding job of getting us to those unique, little-known places to see some mind-blowing wildlife and an unforgettable sunrise over the Serengeti right out of The Lion King.
If you are looking for a great, well organized Safari experience, look no further than Kubwa Five!
