The complete Africa experience
We (me and a friend) booked a 10 day tour with Bushman going past all the highlights of the country with Joseph our personal driver. The program was well thought off - a good variety between safaris and other activities, despite the fact we love animals spending more than 2 days in a row driving through savannah landscape becomes boring - Bushman knows this and therefore makes sure that the program is diverse. We saw the big 5 and leopards in all national parks. We had an encounter with 50 chimpansees and saw a gorilla family with 3 babys. Bushman knows who to contact to give you the best experience. Furthermore the accommodation was amazing, the driving was safe and sound and Joseph became our companion - perfect experience! Extra point was the service: we were picked up from the airport the day before our tour actually started and they were flexible in dropping us off on any location we wanted.

Trip of a lifetime!
Bushman Safaris is such a great company. Kate was responsive and very easy to work with. She answered all our questions prior to our trip.
Our guide, Ayub was the best! So smart and knew everyone and everything about the country. He kept us informed while we traveled around and made sure we were comfortable.
Our safari experience was fantastic , from the game drives to the chimpanzees, golden monkeys and the most thrilling silver back gorillas. We were immersed
in the local culture in all our locations.
Highly recommend this company.

5 stars!!!
5 stars! From the moment you first message Bushman’s safaris you will be impressed by their professionalism and friendliness. Organizer Kate is 1 of the most organized people I have come across. She goes above and beyond. We booked a 6 day tour and were lucky enough to get guide Joseph. He is very friendly and very knowledgeable on all things Uganda. We had some amazing experiences with animals (Gorillas, Chimps and Lions)
The accommodation Bushmans provide are all 1st class for different reasons. Chimp lodge (Incredible views and peaceful) Bush lodge (Hippos right outside your accommodation) Ride 4 a women (Outstanding community work). Bushman’s really know how to organize a tour! Doubt you will find a better company. Highly recommend!!!
The best safari ever!
Bushman Safaris is hands down the best safari company you could book. Kate was incredible and handled everything for me when planning and booking my safari. Everything was perfect, down to the smallest details. And my guide, Ayub, was incredibly knowledgable and helpful throughout my 11 day safari. From Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks for game drives (including one night game drive which was extra special) to Kibale for chimp trekking and Mgahinga for gorilla trekking the entire tour was spectacular. Couldn't have asked for a better holiday.

A Christmas Surprise Safari!
December 25: My wife and I live and work in Uganda. I planned a 33rd anniversary surprise for my wife by having our children and their spouses fly in from the US for a week's visit. I contacted several tour companies, and Kate was the first and most efficient/professional in her response. She and Shafic, from Bushman Safari's, picked up our children from the airport while I set up the surprise in the hotel restaurant. I told my wife to expect a culinary surprise, but when the blindfold came off, instead of a table of food there sat our children! She was quite surprised: said she didn't know "whether to scream or cry!" After lunch Kate and Shafic took us to see the equator, which was a first time visit for our children's spouses, took many photos, did some memory making!
The next morning it was off to Murchison Falls National Park, with a stop to see the rhino sanctuary. Shafic was an excellent driver, while supplying us with much information/history of Uganda and its native wildlife. After seeing many animals on our way in to Pakubah Lodge, we all had an excellent dinner and nice, clean comfortable rooms for a good night's sleep. After a 0530 breakfast, Shafic took us to all the places where he knew the animals were hiding out! Leopard, lion, elephant, hippo and the giraffes, which are so graceful and elegant to watch! Took a boat ride up to the Falls, and later trekked up to the top of the Falls for a great view! Shafic knew exactly where to go for each place, everything was taken care of and went so smoothly! Kate, cooked up a surprise for our anniversary by having us (not the children) transported to another Lodge for the night, for a special dinner and a flower petal-decorated room just for us! It was well done and much appreciated! The next morning we saw even more animals, especially elephants as we headed to our residence in eastern Uganda for the conclusion of our time with Bushman. It was a great trip all the way, as Shafic dropped us off right in our driveway!
If you are looking for a superior tour company that will give you a great experience touring Uganda then I highly recommend Bushman Safari's without reservation! Kate handled every detail, and was very quick in responding to all the issues/questions that I had. Shafic was excellent in driving, we always felt safe, and he possessed a wealth of knowledge of all we experienced! Overall, a great time of memories for us and our children!

Holiday of my dreams
The team at Bushman Safari went above and beyond to make sure our time in Tanzania and Uganda were amazing. Our tour guides Camillus and Steven are skilled drivers, friendly, kind and so knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to ensure each day is adventurous but also make sure you are safe! Kate did an amazing job assisting us with organizing the travel plans and ensuring we get the best experience possible. Our safari experiences were incredible each day topping the one before! It just kept getting better and better! Our gorilla trekking was jaw dropping. I look back at my pictures in aww that they really happened. We highly recommend booking bushman safari for your safari / gorilla trekking dreams. You will not be disappointed!! Trust me!

Thanks to Bushman Safari we genuinely had the holiday of a lifetime!
Kate was incredibly helpful with our planning - accommodating our numerous individual requests and working with us to resolve questions or challenges with regards to planning. She was very quick to respond in communication and was eager to tailor the trip in order to meet our specific desires.
Our tour guides, Camillus (Tanzania) and Steven (Uganda), were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. They kept us well informed throughout our experience and were a pleasure to have accompanying us.

We will never forget the memories we made!
5 Stars for Bushman Safari‘s and these are our reasons:
- Our booking with Kate was uncomplicated and she was friendly and flexible even though our traveling request was very late.
- The 7-days Trip was just amazing - we loved every second of it!
The days were filled with a lot different things to see, nice places to stay at, breathtaking nature and a lot of wildlife. All the people we met throughout our travels were super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
- Shafic was an amazing driver and made us always feel safe on the african roads. He has a lot of knowledge about nature, culture and animals (especially birds). He was always caring, flexible and funny.
We would highly recommend Bushman Safari‘s for your african adventure.

Kate is amazing.
Kate arranged a fully Kosher 12 day safari including 2 full days fishing in Murchison Falls. We traveled with a new set of pots dishes and cutlery and in every lodge the chef cooked a kosher meal for us. It was all arranged in advance and it worked beyond our expectations. Kate called us many times before the trip to help plan all the little details and when we told her that we wanted to eat local dishes she invited us to her home for the first night dinner. Shafic our driver guide is incredibly knowlegable in all fields and lucky for us is an experienced birder which is one of our hobbies. Many times he stopped on the highway to see a bird on a pole or wire. He is a great driver and now I would call him a good friend.
