The best Safari company in Uganda
Kubwa Five Safaris had the most reasonable rates, and they were great in communication, so I felt pretty good about booking a tour with them. Kubwa Five Safaris was more attentive, tailor-making the tour to our exact specifications, giving excellent tips and recommendations, and putting through all the detailed changes we requested quickly and efficiently.
Our driver/guide, Joan was a really lovely and knowledgeable person. We greatly enjoyed this company for the days we were in Rwanda. The gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park was beyond all expectations in terms of our proximity and views of the gorillas. We trekked the Sabinyo group and after a couple of hours, we met the endangered giants up in the hills. It was an amazing experience to see the gorillas close up in the wild and this is one of the most memorable trips that I have ever taken.
In the afternoon, after the trek, we enjoyed a relaxed evening at the Iby'wachu Village where we learned about the history, culture, and heritage of the Rwandan people. This is another amazing experience that you should not miss while in Rwanda.
All of our accommodation was lovely and really showed us the variety Rwanda has to offer. From staying in a luxury high rise hotel in Kigali to jungle camping in Kagera National Park and staying in a variety of safari lodges, all hotels were lovely, with great facilities, great food and drinks, friendly staff (& wildlife!) and lovely rooms.
I strongly advise you to request Joan as your driver and guide when you are in Rwanda! For one week, she was both our friend and our professional guide; enabling us to see all the highlights of a truly beautiful country in a relatively short length of time.
I have no hesitation in recommending Kubwa Five Safaris to anyone planning a safari holiday in Rwanda in the future.

An equally magical experience
We booked with Kubwa Five Safaris and we got to know them through a friend, who had gone to Kenya a year ago, and him and his family booked with this company.
We went to Naivasha, Amboseli, Masai Mara, Nakuru and Tsavo, all very different experiences and all great in their own way.
We saw more wildlife than we ever dreamed possible (the big five and many more!) and had the holiday of a lifetime. Would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya.
Our guide Anthony made the wildlife come to life, and I greatly learned many new things from him. He also answered all of our questions regarding flora and fauna, and was very patient and kind with us.
Without a doubt, we will again plan a trip with Kubwa Five Safaris to give us an equally magical experience!
The whole safari was amazing and we would totally recommend Kubwa Five Safaris.

Highly recommend
Everything was impeccably planned and executed. Before and during the trip we always felt perfectly informed and well taken care of.
During planning, Joseph was highly flexible and created an itinerary tailored to us. He was a great tour guide with knowledge about all animals and birds we encountered. He is also a very likable person and we felt very secure with him all the time. We especially valued his punctuality and high standards of professionalism.
After the 3 days visit to Murchison Falls National Park, were taken to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for Gorilla trekking, and then transferred to Kibale National Park for Chimpanzees tracking. Kubwa Five Safaris organized permits for Gorilla and Chimpanzee visits so we didn't have to worry about this.
The two activities in Bwindi and Kibale were out of this world. The hikes were a bit long but worth it, you got to travel to Uganda and book with this company to have such a great lifetime safari experience. Uganda is greatly gifted by nature, there is a lot to explore.
Thanks again for the wonderful time and we can highly recommend going on a safari with this company.

Wonderful experience
Planning & organization with the company was exceptional before, during, and after the tour. The company was responsive throughout the process and made recommendations on the overall tour for our group of 6 friends. Thank you Joseph and team for helping us out and planning this amazing trip.
The tour was culturally rich as well as the opportunity to be with nature and an abundance of wildlife. We saw lions, gorillas, chimpanzees, zebra, elephants, giraffes, warthogs, water buffalo, birds and so much more.
We also had the opportunity of being with the people of Uganda and ventured through several villages including a specific pygmy village where they performed (sang songs and danced) for our group - a wonderful experience learning about the Pygmy people.
Highly recommended!!!

Amazing
I honestly had an amazing and unforgettable vacation in Uganda, and I am glad to tell, that Kubwa Five Safaris was the best choice for Uganda. And I already made recommendations with my family and friends.
I was a single traveler and made a lot of research by myself prior to searching for companies, who offered tours like that. So my main purpose was the Mountain gorillas, but for sure, I was happy to have some other activities besides that as well.

Everything about my vacation with this company was wonderful
Kubwa Five Safaris offered quick and efficient communication prior our vacation. Everything about my vacation with this company was wonderful. Our guide Kevin was very accommodating and knew the answers to all our questions about the animals. We had an amazing experience with Kevin. He was really flexible and went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience.
The lodges we used were inside the national parks, and provided excellent views of the animals whereby buffaloes, elephants and antelopes would come around the lodges to graze. And during the game drive, we got to see everything we wanted to see.
I would definitely recommend Kubwa Five Safaris.

Absolutely amazing
We were two people for a budget six days safari in Uganda.
Our experience was wonderful. Good communication, best price offered, and a great car. The guys made their best to reshape the initial proposal based on our preferences, and in the end, the tour went beyond our expectations.
Our driver and guide were driving sporty but definitely safely, and had a deep knowledge of all the places, which allowed us to spot very many animals, including leopards and lions.
Absolutely recommended to those who love exploring alternative routes.

Amazing
We were wondering where should we go for our family trip in this year but finally decided to go to Uganda and that was the perfect decision we could ever make. We enjoyed the game drives and got the chance to see the African big five, scenic view of Murchison Falls, gigantic Lake Victoria, and world-class white water in the White Nile. One of the most amazing things we experienced was hiking from the bottom of the falls to the top.
Thanks to our guides Steven and Fred for the well-guided tour, both of you made our safari the most memorable one.
I believe Uganda has the best pineapples, I miss them, I how wish to have carried some of them with me...lol

Very helpful and great guide
This trip to Murchison Falls National Park has been the best experience of our lives and we can't wait to come back and see more.
Our view of Uganda is cemented as one of the best places to visit, the people, wildlife and scenery are all spectacular. We couldn't have been happier with choosing Kubwa Five Safaris and her guides as the trip exceeded even our quite high expectations.
This company was very helpful and super responsive in setting up the itinerary. Kubwa Five had perfect recommendations for where to stay as well as what to do.
Patrick is a great guide who helped make sure that the entire tour went smoothly.
The attractions we had experienced were life-changing! They were spectacular! I highly recommend Kubwa Five Safaris to you all.

Awesome trip
It was an awesome trip in Uganda as we spent four days exploring different attractions and most amazing were the Queen Elizabeth National Park and Murchison Fall National Park, which gave us a good sight of tree climbing lions in Ishasha, buffalo, elephants, hippo, different bird species, and many other wild animals. This land-locked country offers stunning scenery and she is home of a wide variety of primates including the charismatic chimpanzees in Kibale National Park. Moreover, we got the chance to see white rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.
Our guides were friendly and very knowledgeable about each attraction which made our safari more breathtaking. Visiting Uganda was indeed a lifetime experience.
We look forward to booking with you for another vacation in the future.
