Culture tour and gorilla 🦍
I was recommended to azas safaris Uganda by our friends here in Germany who travelled with the organization before , our interest was in gorilla trekking in Uganda and Hadza people in Tanzania ( lake wayside) . We contacted azas safaris on email , they made for us a great arrangements.
Gorilla trekking was epic , and Treekers lodge was great.
They organized for us a transfer to Tanzania, we met Daniel their partner at the airport, We visited a hadza people and masai people they are amazing.
Daniel told us about Serengeti national park , we would like to go back again next summer .
Thanks to Daniel .
Contact azas safaris Uganda for a good trip . Bye

Exceptional
We had an amazing trip to Uganda with Azas Safaris, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We went gorilla and chimpanzee trekking in Kibale and Bwindi National Parks. We also visited Queen Elizabeth National Park and Murchison Falls National Park because we were also interested in other wild life. We were able to visit the Kazinga channel too, which we were not aware of prior. Prisca was a pleasure to communicate with beforehand, and she was always quick to respond to our emails and WhatsApp too . While we were on safari, Simon also got in touch with us to make sure everything was going well. Jimmy, our tour guide, made the experience unforgettable, and we heartily recommend him to show you around stunning Uganda. He looked after us really well and gave us lots of time to spend with the animals. Throughout our entire visit, we were made to feel incredibly comfortable and safe. At the same time, we visited Mabamba Swamp to see a shoebill, but it was unfortunate we were not able to see it. I advise other travellers to always consider visiting the swamp twice to get higher chances.
We highly recommend Azas!

Azas Safaris are Excellent and professional in what they are doing. Customer care at its best. 😊
Beautiful country
Last year in June 2023 I booked a trip with azas safaris Uganda , me and my other 3 friends kept on talking to Simon and prisca monthly and they promised us a great trip. At first I was abit worried but after viewing their work online , I decided to move with them. And the rest was history.
It was a fly in trip from Entebbe to Bwindi and then relaxing in bunyonyi .
Azas safaris Uganda recommended us a one day relaxing after gorillas trekking activity, yes it’s kinda hectic.
I knew English but my colleagues only knew Spanish but azas safaris Uganda provided us a translator who helped us all through.
We had our gorilla trekking activity, it was nice to see human like creatures in the wild , it’s safe though scary 😃
Accommodation was up to our expectations, mahogany lodge was awesome and bird nest resort in bunyonyi was amazing with a great view to the lake . We also interacted with a community which was great. Later we came back to Entebbe airport through kisoro , a hilly area with amazing views.
For gorilla trekking activities, I recommend this company ( azas safaris Uganda ) , they gave us a great memory , we have already referred them to our friends who are travelling with them next year in summer.
We shall miss Uganda. 🇺🇬

Just Amazing
In April this year we visited kenya 🇰🇪, our plan was to visit Masai Mara but due to flooding, we couldn’t finish our trip , we were evacuated back to Nairobi.
We got an idea to visit Uganda , mostly to trek gorillas, we went on safari booking and azas safaris Uganda was popular for gorilla trekking , we chose 3 operators but azas was competitive and their quote was budget friendly.
We talked to prisca on WhatsApp, she planned our trip from Entebbe to Bwindi and back to Entebbe with in 3 days. It was perfect.

Dream Africa Safari come true
This was our first ever holiday to Africa all the way from Portugal. From the time I started talking to azas safaris uganda team , from customary made itinerary, planning and communication was excellent.
We mostly preferred camping , and each camp had incredible staff , view , guides and accommodation. The food was amazing, uganda has organic food.
At each location we sighted different animal species , birds and plant life.
The organization of each camp were amazing, we enjoyed cultural diversity of Uganda , batwa people in Bwindi had an amazing story , Bigodi community activities in kibale national park was amazing.
And the highlight of all , gorilla trekking, what an amazing experience, it was worth every moment.
Thank you to each staff at azas safaris uganda and all people we had on our trip. We shall always share this experience.

Fabulous on-the-ground experience in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Our 3-day fly-in Gorilla safari was an amazing experience. Adam, their driver/guide in Bwindi, is a fabulous representative for them and for Uganda as a whole. He could not have done more for us, and was completely reliable and there for us with information and support. Our accommodation at Mahogany Springs could not be improved on - it was simply the best - impeccable service, super friendly staff, brilliant rooms, and great food. Salvan, our local guide for the Community walk and the Batwa people visit, was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely pleasant to be around. What can I say about the Gorillas? WOW, what an unbelievable experience and a privilege to be able to experience. The organisation of the walk was first rate, our ranger guides were personable, helpful and supportive. They made the walk into the Gorillas, even the uphill bits, very enjoyable. I had a porter who carried my backpack and was always there with a helping hand and a push on the steep bits, for which I was very grateful. All in all, a fabulous on-the-ground experience.
Up until arrival in Uganda, I was the point of contact via email with Azas Safaris for our group of three, and they were always prompt in responding and answering my question fully which we all appreciated. On arrival in Uganda, they suddenly switched to WhatsApp messaging with another (male) member of the group, and things fell a bit apart in terms of what was promised (and included in the price). Our hotel in Entebbe got us to the airport in time for our flight, after Azas said they would pick us up half an hour before departure. They also brought our stored luggage to the airport for us on return. Both of these had been promised by Azas. We are all seasoned travellers so working with our hotel was no problem for us, but really might have been so for less experienced people.
The only other criticism, and it's minor in the whole scheme of things, is that they could have provided more information about the number of times we were expected to put our hands in our pockets while on the local walks. Australians do not have a tipping culture, and it was a bit embarrassing to not have sufficient small local currency with us.
Would we recommend Azas Safaris to other travellers - we most certainly would!! An unforgettable experience!!

Highly recommend Azas Safari for anyone looking for a well-organized, thrilling adventure!
