An easy and stress free booking experience with incredibly helpful employees.
Before I left for Uganda I wanted to have my gorilla trek booking set in place. So I found Bushman Safaris online and contacted them to help with this, I travel to Uganda often and work in a rural village so did not have any tour guides or the spare time to make the 10 hour trip to Kampala to collect my permit. Bushman Safaris went above and beyond to ensure my permit got delivered to the village where I work which in itself is amazing customer service. I can't thank Kate enough for all she had done for me throughout this process, from answering all of my questions before my arrival in Uganda to ensuring I made it back safely to the UK after my 10 week stay. The trek was obviously an incredible experience but with the help of Bushman Safaris it made the whole experience so much easier and stress free. Thanks again Bushman safaris and a special thanks to Kate.

Amazing Uganda Safari Experience!
My wife and I are so glad that we chose Bushman Safaris for our Uganda adventure! During the booking process Kate responded to all of our questions very quickly and was super helpful. Our guide Joseph was excellent, knowledgeable, and fun! He took great care of us the whole time and brought us to so many amazing places. We would definitely recommend Bushman Safaris to our family and friends.

Bushman Safaris with Kate (office) and Peter (guide) was the best provider - all contacts in advance for our tour and the guidance and care during our holiday was brilliant and very cordial - we just spent a wonderful time in Uganda

12d safari in Uganda
The trip was excellent. We spent 12 days in Uganda in 4 different areas : Bwindi forest, Queen Elizabeth national park, Kibale park, Murchison Falls park.
Treks in Bwindi and Kigale to see gorillas and chimpanzees up close were incredible. Amazing experience to stand 7 meters from such animals.
The usual way to explore the other parks is in open suv. We saw plenty of elephants, giraffes, hippos, antelopes, warthogs, etc also some lions, a leopard.
A thing to know is that guides are not allowed to leave the road in ugandan parks (as opposed to Kruger park private reserves in South Africa for example) so it can be difficult to see some animals up close (we weren't that lucky with lions for example).
Service from Bushmans safaris was good, everything went smoothly with Kate and Joseph, they were able to change accommodation and program on the spot for example.
I would warmly recommend this trip especially for gorillas and chimpanzees.

Great safari, pity about the construction.
Overall we had a fantastic time. The northern half of Murchison Falls National Park is beautiful, with all the wildlife we were hoping for. Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Budongo Chimp Tracking are both magical experiences; it was an incredible privilege to be on foot and so close to wild animals.
All of our guides were fantastic, helpful and informative. They all added a lot to our experience.
Sadly, it seems an accommodation hiccup caused a last-minute timetable rearrangement, which meant we spent a big chunk of time driving through construction and roadworks in the southern half of the park.
Bushman Safaris organised really nice accommodations for us, and aside from the unexpected changes causing some uncertainty, we were really happy with the experience we had. We'd love to see more of Uganda sometime!
Great company, top notch experience!!
From beginning to end we had a wonderful safari experience. Kate Okellele at Bushman was our main contact and organizer for our 18 day
tour covering much of Uganda, including Mabamba Swamp for shoebill viewing, Sipi Falls, Kidepo National Park, Murchison Falls NP, Kibale for chimp viewing, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for gorilla trekking, Lake Mburo National Park, Lake Bunyoni canoeing, and Entebbe Botanical Gardens. Basically we circled much of Uganda countercloskwise. Kate made it very easy to arrange the entire trip by email. Every time I had a question I would contact her and receive an answer and explanation within a few hours at most, always the same day. Ours was a camping safari, which added to the excitement since we had the opportunity to hear African sounds at night, such as hippos, and lions roaring in the distance. We were provided with a very experienced and knowledgeable guide/driver named Richard Mukasa for the entire trip. Our vehicle was a large Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4 with a poptop. I wouldn't hesitate to sign on again with Bushman Safaris for future trips.

For the time we spent in Queen Elisabeth and Lake Bunyonyi, Bushman Safaris booked our accommodation and made sure our days were filled with safaris, lake cruises, comfort and a hotspring. Perfect worriless traveling
