Amazing tour was much more than I expected!
5/5

My driver Azariah was simply amazing. Very helpful, informative, and caring. The organizer Peter was very courteous and answered all questions promptly and was an immense help when I had issues with my visa. I was so grateful couldn't thank him enough. I would highly recommend buyaga tours to anyone interested in a tour in Uganda.

Uganda tour with Derrick from Buyaga Safari
5/5

What an adventure! The private driver from Buyaga Tours, Derrick , made this adventure customized, personal, safe and fascinating.
We learned so much about the variety of birds and wildlife because of his expertise.
We did the Chimpanzee, Gorilla and Golden Monkey Treks. All included in such a reasonable price. The visits to local communities and views from amazing accommodations were awesome. Beds were top quality as was the service and food. We can’t wait to go again.
Do this while your body still can. You will not regret it. Uganda and the people are welcoming.

A very friendly and personal safari in the Pearl of Africa.
5/5

I went on a solo Safari with Buyaga. I booked last minute as I had some changes of plans. The prompt communication and value for a 12 day solo safari was pretty incredible. The tour was really great I am really happy with our time exploring the many national parks looking for wildlife in Uganda's many parks. Some highlights were Chimpanzee's, Mountain Gorillas, Red Tailed Monkeys, Lions, Barbets, and Golden Monekys.

Lovely tour with Peter
5/5

Had an amazing 2-night solo gorilla tour with Peter. Always felt safe and in good company! Always timely as well. Peter was happy to answer any questions I had and taught me a lot about Uganda during our many hours spent on the road.

Unforgettable memories

My wife and I had a trip of 9 days of safari with buyaga. The owner, Peter was so good at responding everytime we needed anything. He was very nice and helpful. Our guide Derrick was very experienced in his work. We had a very adventurous and unforgettable time with him. In 9 days we visited Ziwa rhino sanctuary, Murchison falls, Chimpanzee tracking at kibale national park, Queen Elizabeth national park, Gorilla tracking at Bwindi impenetrable national park and lake mburo national park

Good value, enjoyable tour
4/5

I chose Buyaga because they offered the itinerary I was looking for at better value than other companies. Peter was very quick to respond to my many questions before the tour started which was really appreciated.

Overall a really enjoyable tour. Uganda is a beautiful country. Sometimes the timings weren’t as described in advance or in the itinerary but after the initial mismatch my guide made sure we went through the next days itinerary at dinner. He was also always concerned that the tour was going well and I was enjoying it. Some really lovely hotels on the way - not luxury but almost and with some amazing views and lovely people. I would definitely use them again.

Reliable and customer oriented service.
5/5

Our tour started in Sipi and went to Kidepo NP, Murchison Falls NP, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and ended in Entebbe. As my wife and I came on our own from Kitale to Sipi the tour had to be planned according to our ideas. Emmanuel was our tour guide and driver. He is very resourceful and flexible and showed us many highlights especially in Kidepo NP. He knows the place very well. We had an extended stay in Kidepo and Murchison. It's worth to be there a bit longer as a "normal" tour suggests. The tour was well organized, the lodges were nice and convenient. Communication with Peter from Buyaga for planning and fixing the tour was easy and fast. We really enjoyed our stay in Uganda.

Highly recommended
5/5

Peter organized a tour according to my individual wishes: a 3-day trip to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the gorillas. Exactly what I wanted. He responded promptly to my email inquiries. Peter is a reliable and friendly tour guide. And he has chosen very nice hotels. Good value for money! Next time I (hopefully) visit Uganda, I won't hesitate to book another tour with Buyaga Safaris.

Discovering Uganda in the best way.
5/5

If you are going to visit Uganda, do not hesitate, book your safari with Buyaga Safaris. Since hiring them, we have been very satisfied with the speed with which Peter has solved all our doubts, and for the reliability that he has transmitted to us, but above all for allowing us to design together the trip of our dreams.
If you are lucky enough to have Ossman as your driver and guide, success is assured: professional, polite, always ready to satisfy our requests and very friendly. In addition to all that, he is a good driver, flexible and fun. We had a really good time with him and we would definitely hire Buyaga Safaris again for the quality of the accommodations he suggested, the 10-day route visiting 5 national parks with specialized guides who made us feel safe and at home at all times. Not to mention the good price and, I insist, the good treatment by Peter, the owner of the company and Ossman, the best guide, who after our trip has become our friend.
If you are reading this review, do not hesitate, you will not regret living the safari of your life.

A wonderful trip with a outstanding tour operator
5/5

We have chosen Buyaga Safaris for our 11 days Uganda tour.
We have visited the major national parks such as Murchison fall, Kibale Forest, Bwindi impenetrable forest, lake Buyonyi and lake Mburo.
Since the beginning Peter has provided a lot of useful information to arrange our tour and satisfied all our requests on the changes for the accommodations.
On top of this, our guide Derrick really made our days special! He is a young man really kind, polite and passionate about animals and his country, always providing us details about everything we saw. He has always been really attentive to our needs and security, and we really felt secure traveling with him.

We loved everything we did in our 11 days tour from the activities, places and accodomations arranged by Buyaga so we strongly recommend this tour operator.

Last but not least, we will never forget the beautiful Uganda landscape and people from different communities who has always welcomed us with a big smile!
