Uganda, a spectacular country
We are a couple who have just returned from a trip to Uganda, impeccably organized by Peter, a very helpful and professional person... the trip was well-balanced, the lodges very beautiful and the food also very good... we had a truly capable driver-guide, the great Simpson, who looked after us throughout the stay with care and dedication, very professional and expert... what can I say..."Buyaga safaris" highly recommended 💞

An Unforgettable Ugandan Safari
Our safari with Buyaga Safaris exceeded all our expectations. Everything was very well organized, and the entire trip went smoothly from start to finish. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, and the gorilla trekking was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives.
A special thank you to our guide, Simpson. He is a true professional—knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, and always attentive to every detail. His passion for Uganda’s wildlife and nature made our journey even more enjoyable and memorable.
Our whole family had an amazing time, and we highly recommend Buyaga Safaris to anyone dreaming of an authentic African safari. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

An amazing experience
My friend and I went on a 12 day safari. We had a lot of fun activities planned and each were more than we expected. We quickly warmed up to our tour guide Brighton who had similar sense of humor. He handled challenging situations very well while being professional. We both highly recommend a walking safari in Lake Mburo and the night drive. Hiking to see the gorillas was definitely challenging but definitely worth it.

Amazing Experience with Buyaga Safaris
We were lucky enough to do our 9 day safari through Uganda with Buyaga Safaris. Peter was incredibly prompt with communication and was kindly able to add an extra day to our trip on very short notice. The experience with Peter was great from start to finish and we recommend Buyaga to anyone thinking of visiting Uganda.
Our guide, Ossman, was the absolute best. He was kind, genuine, funny and was always willing to answer the dozens of questions we had along the journey. He was very knowledgeable of the wildlife and local towns we travelled through and would always accommodate for us to do small errands like go to the bank or forex bureau. We had an amazing time and had some of our most memorable experiences in Uganda. I’d 100% recommend.
Uganda the Pearl of Africa!
Everything was perfect.
Since the beginning Peter has always been available to answer all our questions at any time.
He managed to organize our trip exactly how we wanted.
All the lodges were clean, safe,close to the attractions and most of all the food was delicious.
We were so lucky to have Brighton as a guide.
Since the very first moment when he picked us up at the airport he made us feel safe and confortable.
He is a awesome and tireless driver and brought us in every place we want to go at all times.
He was very kind, with our parents , who speak just a little bit of English and he always tried to have a conversation with them.
He, also, told us a lot about Uganda's life, nature and culture, making us understand the love that he has for his job and all the efforts he put in it.
We discovered how Uganda really is. It is not just safaris, gorillas and,chimps but it is much more.
Uganda is the beauty of nature, has tasty food and most of all has friendly people.
It was a truly pleasure for us to know Brighton and Uganda.
We really recommend you to come here , but expecially to have him as your guide!!!!
Uganda the Pearl of Africa.

Great choice!
We chose Buyaga Safari for our tour in Uganda, and the overall experience was extremely positive. One of the aspects we appreciated the most was the flexibility of the tour operator. Although they offer well-structured standard itineraries, the team was able to accommodate most of our requests, tailoring the trip to our specific needs in terms of both itinerary and accommodation standards. Their willingness to adapt the program made the experience much more personalized and aligned with our expectations.
A special mention goes to our guide, Apton, who was a real asset throughout the journey. He was always punctual, professional, and willing to accommodate our requests, even when they involved small adjustments to the planned schedule. He kept the vehicle in excellent condition and demonstrated both safe and comfortable driving skills on paved roads as well as on more challenging off-road terrain. He was also proactive and resourceful in dealing with any unexpected situations or logistical issues that arose during the trip.
From a wildlife perspective, Apton has a solid knowledge of Uganda’s fauna, with particular expertise in birdlife. His ability to spot and identify a wide variety of bird species added significant value to our safari experience.
If there is one area for improvement, it would be the gradual renewal of the vehicle fleet. Although the vehicle we used was well maintained and reliable, a newer fleet would further enhance the overall experience and better match the high standard of service provided.
Overall, we would highly recommend Buyaga Safari to anyone looking for a well-organized, flexible, and customizable trip to Uganda, supported by attentive staff and knowledgeable guides who genuinely care about meeting travelers’ needs.

Simply outstanding, they made our trip to Uganda one of a kind.
My wife and I visited Uganda with the help of Buyaga safaris and we cannot speak highly enough of their services.
Our tour was 5 days and included several game drives, chimpanzee trekking and a gorilla trek. All of these experiences passed our expectations.
Between the amazing stops and adventures our guide Simpson was an absolute joy. He was a great driver, guide and companion who we enjoyed having with us every step of the way. He was informative, knowledgeable and very passionate about his country and you could sense the pride he felt when he showed us the beautiful Ugandan countryside. It was also clear that he is good at his craft and is well respected because everyone we seemed to meet a the hotels, treks and restaurants immediately recognized and greeted him like an old friend. It is very easy to feel comfortable and enjoy your trip when this kind of person is the one leading you.
Everything about Uganda and this trip was pleasant. From communicating with Peter who helped us craft the perfect itinerary and was always super easy to communicate with, even though we were planning our visit from the other side of the world as my wife and I are from Canada.
We also wanted to speak highly of the accommodations that we stayed in along the way. We stayed in three different hotels on our trip and every single one of them was amazing. They all had gorgeous rooms with unique views and all of the meals were fantastic. Every single night we got to select our own 3 course meal and each morning we were treated to a delicious breakfast cooked to order. Definitely exceeded our expectations considering we opted to go with a “budget friendly” itinerary to keep our cost down.
I could go on, but just know that booking with Buyaga is a safe choice and you will not regret it.
