Carefree and flexible itinerary for a family with small children
I stumbled upon Tony during a (water!) conference in Kampala in 2020. I picked up the contact 5 years later and he remembered who I was! I stopped looking for other travel operators. Tony was swift in his response, with an eye to strike comfort and price and very flexible with our demands. We traveled with two young children (6 and 8) from Northern Rwanda, through Western Uganda to Kampala without hiccups, plenty flexibility (to allow time for the kids to roam around between long drives etc) and lovely company of Dennis qho drove us safely throughout, and provided a lot of information on the way and during the safaris. Spot on. Good service, swift replies, reliable, …I would recommend Maleng Travel to anybody looking for a relaxed, flexible yet packed with fun activities, and carefree holidays in Uganda/Rwanda!

A thoughtful, generous, exciting, and truly ideal tour of beautiful western Uganda!
I would very happily tour again with Maleng Travel Uganda. Tony Ofungi, owner of Maleng, was recommended by my business partner who knows Tony personally. I consider myself very fortunate that I did not have to look further than Maleng to find an absolutely top-notch tour operator who was patiently willing to answer many questions and propose numerous attractive and thoughtful itineraries to help me think about how I wanted to tour western Uganda during what was my first time in Africa. My girlfriend and I booked a 9-day tour with Maleng through Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Kibale National Park, which included a range of lodging accommodations and passes to track mountain gorillas (Bwindi) and chimps (Kibale). Tony took care of all arrangements. We appreciated the thought Tony put into his lodging suggestions, and the fact that he provided a range of selections for us that spanned from high-cost to low-cost. I elected to sample accommodations spanning... Read more the range of costs and found them all to be excellent, safe-feeling, pleasant, and memorable choices. We were fortunate to have Sam Kalema as our driver and primary tour guide. Sam's indefatigably positive and charming personality, and his deep knowledge of the areas, people, and wildlife on our tour helped the tour feel satisfyingly personal, engaging, and all the more memorable. In my opinion, employing Sam Kalema reflects great judgement on the part of Tony Ofungi. There are so many more positive things that I could say in support of Maleng Travel, Tony, and Sam. Most importantly, I very highly recommend Maleng, Tony, and Sam for a wonderful, safe, and smooth tour of remarkable places you will never forget. Happy travels!

Excellent itinerary that exceeded all our expectations!
We as a family of nine had an awesome safari to Murchison Falls National Park. Tony ensured that the itinerary fulfilled all the requests of our party of three generations. We were greeted by Tony personally upon arrival at the airport and he was always available for inquiries. The guides were friendly, respectful, punctual and knowledgeable of the destinations. The vehicles were best equipped for the safari and we had the most impressive safari experience in the park. We also highly appreciate Maleng Travel‘s commitment to operate environment friendly, and we look forward to the next tour.

Maleng Travel provide a stellar bespoke service!
Tony planned an itinerary based on my family's wishes and preferences. The tour was for a party of four and we travelled with Tony and a tour guide. Murchison Falls National Park was a true delight and the highlight of the trip was definitely the boat cruise on the River Nile aboard "The African Queen" no less, seeing elephants, giraffes, crocodiles and hippopotami in their natural habitat.
The icing on the cake was Tony placing an order at the 11th hour for a Birthday Cake to be made and presented to our sons at Chobe Safari Lodge, after dinner.
We found Maleng Tours knowledge and experience in the field invaluable when planning this trip at affordable rates and were very impressed with the results!

Goes above and beyond to meet the client's needs and establishes good and genuine relationships.
I was so satisfied with the support from when I first made contact. Tonight took the time on the phone yo understand what I wanted and it was great to co-design the trip together.
Communication including emails and transactions was easy amd seamless amd loved how I was introduced to the guide before the visit when they did a home visit.
Great care and loved that Toni sent a surprise gift with outer guide for the trip. It's the small things they do to make the client feel special.
Do give Maleng a try, you will absolutely love it

Tony planned a perfect Uganda tour for 15 days for us as a family
We approached Maleng Travel with the desire to do a 15 day Uganda trip as a family with our 15 year old son.
The tour planned by Toni was an unforgettable experience for us as well as for our son. Of the 2600 km driven and the 15 days we would not have wanted to miss a meter and a second.
Our round trip took us to the extreme north to Kidepo National Park and then led us across the west to Rwanda with a return flight from Kigali.
One of the highlights of the tour was the accommodation, which was very idyllic and often run by local communities.
Even spontaneous actions such as a rafting tour on the Nile could be realised easily.
Such a tour stands and falls of course always with the driver and guide .
We had the best!
Always in a good mood, with a very good eye for all animals and birds, he has brought us reliably and safely to every place of the tour.
We thank Toni for this great trip and can Maleng Travel only warmly recommend.

Very personalized planning and realisation
Maleng Travel have realized a very personalized and individualized journey for me. My trip was organized centrally for Uganda and Kenya. Maleng Travel also responded to all my short-term requests for amendments and adjustments while we were on tour.

Experienced tour operator, who has vast knowledge of the country and trade!
Tony provided sound advice and made all the bookings for a weekend getaway to Kalangala Islands. It was a great trip, to an unseen part of Uganda. The hotel he selected - Brovad, had great facilities. And overall, it was a very relaxing experience. I will definitely use his services for my next adventure in Uganda.

Outstanding, highly knowledgeable, respectful and pleasant
This was a beautiful once in a lifetime experience where we got to see God’s wildlife creation upfront and yet safely. It was so well done. We have recommended the tour to others already. The beautiful savannah grasslands were breath-taking from the lodge-view in the mountains. The tour guide was phenomenal! 10 stars!
Kudos to this company!

Our tour operator was an outstanding, knowledgeable and hospitable expert who went above and beyond
Our tour was amazing, truly a once in a lifetime experience. We got to see the absolute beauty of Uganda from the big cats, elephants and giraffe of on planes to the hippo and crocodile of the river. It was a wonderful experience and would recommend a Maleng safari to anyone and everyone.
