Professional
5/5

We just completed our 4-day, 3-night journey with Wild Uganda, exploring both the savannah and the rainforest. The experience was truly unforgettable—we were fortunate to see the Big Five, track chimpanzees, and enjoy a guided walking tour with rhinos up close.

Our guide and driver, Kasim, was outstanding. His driving was excellent, and he was consistently knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the trip.

The entire booking process and communication with the company were also smooth and efficient, making the whole experience seamless from start to finish.

One of the best I dealt with - very professional and caring
5/5

Uganda is one of the most beautiful places on earth - especially for nature and wildlife lovers. But getting around can be tricky.

Wild Uganda made this trip possible, smooth, comfortable and complete. I saw all wildlife I wanted to see and covered all areas I wanted to visit.

I highly recommend Wild Uganda for anyone interested in visiting Uganda.

A Well-Planned Adventure with Safety and Comfort
5/5

We had the great pleasure of touring with Wild Uganda last month. As this was my first trip to Africa, I was admittedly a bit skeptical at first, but the Wild Uganda team made it a truly wonderful experience.

I would especially like to highlight Mr Matiya, who was our guide throughout the journey. His knowledge of wildlife, the local areas, and even the roads was exceptional. He also had a great sense of humor ☺️and also no matter how late we returned the previous night, the vehicle was always neat, tidy and ready on-time for the next day's adventure.

On the other hand Mr Shafik, such a wonderful person, no matter how late we finished the previous day, he would always show up the next morning full of energy and enthusiasm, greeting everyone in the group with a smile 🤓. His positive attitude helped set the tone for each day of the trip.

Together, they made this a memorable and stress free trip. We never had to worry about anything throughout the journey, as everything was handled professionally and with genuine care.

Matiya and Shafik are real assets to the company, and they deserve great recognition for the outstanding experience they provided. Kudos to both of them and the team 🫡.

Thank you Wild Uganda and Brian!
5/5

My partner and I traveled Rwanda and Uganda with Wild Uganda, and our guide/ driver Brian was amazing. He picked us up from the airport on day one and dropped us off at the end, with no stress on either end. He quickly helped us through lodge check-ins, getting to/ from airports, and getting across the Rwanda-Uganda border. Having all of those things handled while abroad was immensely helpful.

Brian’s knowledge of the wildlife and landscape was exceptional and really added to the trip. On a driving safari, he spotted animals that no other guides around us caught— including leopards, which are notoriously difficult to find. He was equally knowledgeable when it came to our own questions, offering answers and facts to about anything we saw.

Wild Uganda helped us customize our trip entirely, which we loved. Brian also helped us shift things day-of as plans changed. If a trek wrapped early or Brian thought there was something nearby worth seeing, the plan would simply adjust. That kind of flexibility made the trip feel much more like our own exploration than a pre-packaged tour.

Brian was also a great driver, the car was always clean, and he always had fresh water ready. The whole trip made us excited to return to Uganda and we can’t recommend Brian enough. Thank you!

The Greatest Adventure
5/5

This was the adventure of a lifetime! Wild Uganda amazed us in so many ways.

I emailed many operators when we started planning our Uganda and Rwanda trip. From the first message I was struck by Wild Uganda’s professionalism, dependability, and value. I corresponded with Ernest who had a deep knowledge and helped us craft a custom itinerary that checked everything on our list. We wanted to see a lot of gorillas and chimps while also getting a taste of the savannah. This was offered at a very attractive price and we locked it in.

We were met at the airport by our guide Brian and over the course of 9 days and 1200km we got to know him and his country, Uganda. Brian was a highlight of the trip - not only did he take care of all the details for us day-to-day, he was a wonderful ambassador of Ugandan culture and we felt like we learned so much from him. He also arranged an extra banana gin tasting experience that hadn’t been on the itinerary. And also his knowledge of the different gorilla families helped us get into a trekking group that saw a gorilla family with a ton of babies - our favorite! Another highlight - Brian spotted some antelopes in the distance that were all looking in one direction - we went to investigate and saw two leopards stalking them!!

The trekking itself was beyond awesome. Cutting through the rainforest with machetes we felt like explorers of old. We were left speechless by the power of the mighty silverbacks and felt such a connection to the families with babies wrestling and beating their chests. It was the coolest experience imaginable.

Upon arriving home I started recommending Wild Uganda to family, friends, and anyone else who would listen to me!

The best!
5/5

We just did a tour with Shafik and Matiya and it was incredible. The most well organized trip I’ve experienced in Africa. The cars were comfortable and always clean. The guides were accommodating and extremely knowledgeable and helpful, they’re more than tour guides, they’re lifelong friends now. I would highly recommend traveling with them. Simply the best.

Amazing and best experience with Shafik Topkins
5/5

We had the best experience with Wild Uganda Shafik Topkins and Mathias were our group drivers and travelled with us to different cities and took care of our belongings and rearranged some of the program to make the trip easier on us so we can relax and chill in between our program and activities. They were going above and beyond to make sure everyone is doing well, comfortable and having fun ❤️🙏 Thanks to them and we will always recommend Wild Uganda to all our friends.
