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.

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!

A well-organized company that provides friendly guided tours at a good value for the price
We had a wonderful experience with Buyaga Safaris from start to finish. Communication before and during the trip was clear, reliable and well organized, and everything went according to plan.
Our guide Anderson was professional, friendly, kind and always ready to help. It was obvious that he genuinely enjoys his work and has a real passion for Uganda’s wildlife and nature. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the safari even more enjoyable, and we always felt safe and well looked after.
The tour was very well planned, with a great combination of wildlife, beautiful landscapes, gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, and local experiences. The service and value for money were excellent.
We would definitely recommend Buyaga Safaris and especially Anderson to anyone planning a trip to Uganda.

Amazing roundtrip in Uganda
I had an excellent round trip experience in Uganda. Everything was delivered exactly as agreed in the itinerary contract, and the whole journey was smooth and well‑organized. The lodges were comfortable, clean, and welcoming, with delicious food throughout the trip. The staff everywhere were kind and attentive.
Above all, our guide Simpson made the journey exceptional. He was reliable, knowledgeable, and truly trustworthy — the kind of guide who turns a good trip into a great one. The owner of the company, Peter, was also outstanding, replying to every question immediately and ensuring that all arrangements were clear and stress‑free.
Overall, I had a very positive experience and would highly recommend this agency for a round trip in Uganda.

All you can dream, Buyaga Safaris makes come true
We spent 13 days in Uganda, using the services of Buyaga Safaris.
Buyaga Safaris is extremely flexible in tailoring the itinerary to the client's requests and needs, and responds very quickly with detailed and accurate information.
The program that was planned was followed 100%, and thanks to the passion and extensive knowledge of nature, the territory, and Ugandan society demonstrated by our guide, Ossman, the trip — calling it simply a safari would be an understatement — went far beyond our expectations!
Moreover, we always felt safe, and the attention and care shown towards us were outstanding throughout the entire journey.
The lodges selected by Buyaga Safaris were all of excellent quality, and every excursion was truly exciting and enriching.
We highly recommend contacting Buyaga Safaris to organize your next trip to Uganda.

Such an amazing and memorable trip with a fantastic guide
Buyaga Safaris provided us a wonderful itinerary where we had so many incredible experiences from seeing chimpanzees in the wild, seeing so many elephants and other wildlife on a safari, to obviously the gorilla trekking itself. Our guide Brighton was fantastic, knowledgeable and kind, facilitating so many beautiful moments including romantic accommodations at our hotels (as we were celebrating a recent engagement but didn’t even make any requests in advance, so this was impressive). Being treated to beverages while overlooking the twin crater lakes was so fun, and getting to try local cuisine based off his recommendations was fantastic. His seamless organizing of the day’s events with local guides was very helpful and appreciated too. After this trip, I have such a newfound love and appreciation for Uganda, and I would highly recommend Brighton and his company to anyone that seeks once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Superbly organized, safe, flexible and personal!
My father (64) and I (27) from Germany booked the 9-day safari, and it was absolutely amazing. We saw the Big Five and felt like we had more luck than any of the other groups. Our guide, Ossmann, was super laid-back, friendly, and funny, and he really made an effort to organize things in a way that allowed for spontaneity. Everything was perfectly organized, the food was consistently delicious, and the hotels were excellent choices given the locations. It included everything you’d imagine in a safari experience, and we would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Experience in Uganda with Buyaga Safari
I would like to sincerely thank the Buyaga Safari team for the 5-day tour I did with them.
The service from the very beginning was spectacular. They answered all my questions, and Erick, my guide, was amazing.
I felt safe, comfortable, and accompanied throughout the experience, and I was very happy to be welcomed by such a wonderful team.
The tour was incredible. I chose the “5 Days Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking” tour, and it was an excellent choice. The timing was perfect, and every detail of the tour was well coordinated by the Buyaga team.
When I was worried about the Ebola situation in the country, they guided me and helped answer my questions. I want to emphasize that I had absolutely no issues entering the country; I only had to complete an entry form.
Thank you so much. I 100% recommend them.
