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!

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 🫡.

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.

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.

The safari tour exceeded our expectations.
5/5

The walking, trekking and driving tours were amazing. Trekking with the gorillas and walking with giraffes was the highlight of the trip. The Uganda’s were very kind and hospitable and our tour guide Andrew was knowledgeable about the culture and animals.

Wild Uganda provided an unforgettable, well organised, stress free adventure.
5/5


Wild Uganda provided an exceptional safari experience in both Uganda (4 day gorilla trek) and Kenya (7 day safari). It was very well organised with clear communication from our very first conversation. The accomadation and food at these places was truly out of this world.

Our guides Brian and Yasir were very informative and truly made the tour feel unique. Their knowledge and expertise were brilliant, and really made our experience even more enjoyable!

The wildlife encounters were out of this world, with Brian even managing to find us a Shoebill on our drive home which wasn’t part of our planned animal sightings in Uganda and Yasir managing to locate a black Rhino in Kenya!

10/10 would highly recommend Wild Uganda for safari in both Uganda and Kenya. When we compared the tours and pricing to other safari companies which we spoke too, Wild Uganda always came out on top with regards to value for money and ensuring you got the most out of the tour.

Once in a lifetime safari with the best toir guide ever.
5/5

This 10 day safari tour with gorillas was the most incredible experience of our lives. From start to finish the communication was impeccable from both Ernest and Kasim.

The trip was tremendously organized with clear itinerary followed to a tee, with flexibility allowing us to enjoy our experience further.

The boat safaris, game drives, food and accommodation were better than brilliant.

We had endless superb animal encounters in a safe and exciting way, helped by the extensive knowledge and expertise of our fantastic guide who provided us with interesting information on all animals.

We thought hard on our most memorable thing or moment. We considered the close encounters with rhinos and gorillas, the elephants washing in the lake, or the lions climbing trees.

However my wife and I agreed that the most memorable aspect was our guide and now friend called Kasim. Kasim is the most caring, kind, helpful, knowledgeable and genuine guide/person you could ever wish to be led by. We felt safe in his hands and enjoyed our every moment in his company.

If you want top notch service, amazing kindness and a wealth of knowledge pick Wild Uganda and Kasim.

We will see you again soon.

Thanks for everything.

Excellent communication, preparation and local knowledge provided by our tourguide.
5/5

Wild Uganda prepared our trip meticulously, communicated with us frequently and effectively and exceeded all of our expectations.
The accommodations were arranged according to our preferences and even though we understand the highlights of Uganda are oretty much already set out, we thought the entire safari was super diverse, interesting, and showcasing all the beautiful things Uganda has to offer.

Additionally, we had the pleasure of spending the entire time with our tourguide Brian. He excelled in knowledge and experience and was happy to answer all of our (many) questions abouy nature, culture, local habits, religion and many more. Moreover he is a pleasant, humble person to hang around with. He knew when to leave us at it, or when to join the conversation or meals. That takes good social skills.

He was fully committed to showing us as many animals as possible and we admired his sharp eye. Which led us to a close and totally unexpected encounter with some lions crossing a deserted path, and to a tree-climbing lion next to a path in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

He was never late, which for us as Dutchies is an important quality. He also knew exactly when we had to leave for a certain appointment and arrived everywhere in time. And perhaps even more important: he drove very safe and secure.

The accommodations were officially qualified ‘moderate’ as per our instructions, but all delivered very good value for money. Either because of their location, the food provided (all meals included) or the rooms itself.

We had one minor issue with an accommodation that provided only one power outlet in our room - which had to be ussed for the fan - and Brian immediately arranged an extension cable for us.

I am a very experienced traveller (female, 61) and I highly recommend Wild Uganda as Tour Operator. Make sure to ask for Brian as your local tour guide: you will thank me later!
