A fantastic guide who grew up in the Okavango Delta and knows animal behaviour intimately
Sox was recommended highly to us by some friends and he lived up to our expectations. As others have said, it was the trip of a lifetime. We had our safari in the last 10 days of September in Moremi Reserve and it was very hot with average highs of 38C or 100F. Sox said the best months for cooler weather are June and July. Having grown up in the Okavango Delta, he has in intimate knowledge of animal behaviour and was the consummate guide. He takes safety very seriously and when we had to stop for a bathroom break he keep driving until he’d scouted a safe place.
He has a great sense of humour and an excellent dinner companion. His brother is a chef by training and prepared all the meals, including fresh baked bread every day. Never had camp food like this! Sox also has 2 helpers who attended to any needs we had. I haven’t got one critical thing to say.
Sox said we were particularly lucky to see what we did in 10 days. The total included untold number of giraffes and elephants; 25 lions including a pride of 16 with 5 cubs; 7 cheetahs and 3 leopards. Almost all of these were within 10-15 feet of the vehicle. There was one experience that Sox had never seen before: a leopard hiding in the grass and jumping out at a cheetah that had invaded his territory, giving chase to him. Of course the cheetah was faster but the leopard didn’t give up and repeated the chase about 5 times, having to rest in between. It had a comical edge to it.

We came to see animals- but left fallen in love with the people and the country
Uganda was trip with high expectations from our side. First time on the African continent, first time with a a tour operator and a guide to plan our journey.
After an extensive research, we get a pretty good idea what we wanted to see and with whom we wanted to do the trip.
The reviews for Kajie were great, so we decided to give it a try - and they delivered a world class service, Including every idea we had in our trip, always responding quick, very transparent in the pricing, and very flexible, and always friendly.
So we felt in good hands starting the trip.
Arriving in Entebbe on our 15 day trip all these high expectations have not only been matched, they have been surpassed dramatically.
And you cant talk about exceeding expectations without speaking about one guy Andrew Murari. Andrew is just ticking all boxes you can expect, an excellent driver through all the difficult conditions, we have been challenged with, and expert for every animal you can encounter, and we did encounter many. Fluent in many languages, equipped with a great network to get the best out of every game drive and lunch stop. Andrew has a combination of being ambitious, stubborn and patient which results in making sure you not going home with without seeing every single thing you wanted to see, even if you start to loose hope, he will never give up.
He is great teacher and ambassador for his country giving you the right mix of knowledge about country and people without feeling beeing in a lecture.But most important he is a great human being, respectful, reliable and incredible funny. It will be 100% not our last trip with him, and when you want to make the same experience ask for him.
The lodges where amazing and we would love to stays for a longer time in every of them. Kidepo Savannah Lodge has been our a favourite, as Kidepo was our favorite region and park in Uganda. But KaJie also surprised us with an upgrade to Buffalo Safari Lodge in QNP which was an awesome experience. So the review comes to an end and we have still not mentioning animals. So even without all the encounter it would be a great trip but, being close to baby gorillas and a silverback, walking with giraffes and rhinos, spotting leopards, and lions, seeing a pyhton eating and antelope, being among chimpanzees and golden monkeys. If you want to have the journey of a lifetime go to Uganda book with Katje and drive with Andrew. Thank you for giving us this experience.

Exceptional
Samuel was absolutely wonderful all the way through our safari. Extremely knowledgable and a very safe pair of hands behind the wheel. He even tracked down a Leopard on our last day. Would recommend him without any hesitation at all.

Perfectly organised event from collection to return at hotel. Minimal unnecessary waiting arround.
At the time of booking our hotel (Matemwe Altitude) had not opened but it was effortlessly simple to sort out later. They were quick to confirm booking and step by step to finalise the day via WhatsApp. The Safari was great and the guides worked hard to make sure we saw as much as possible and also very informative, totally dedicated and clearly enjoyed making a great day out for all.

Responsible and honest
This is the best experience for coffee lovers. You can see the coffee trees and experience the entire process from harvesting the fruit to drinking the coffee. The staff are very kind and willing to explain things to you carefully and take photos and videos. And best of all, the freshly brewed coffee is delicious. There are also some cute, docile dogs on the farm, which is very relaxing.

Amazing trip - thanks to the operator
The first contacts were amazing with Bernard - reactivity, easy communication, flexibility, reliability. Bernard provides quotes and answers so quickly, it is a pleasure to organize a trip with him. I hope every of my future trips will be assisted with Bernard…
We feel considered, and expected. Everything is perfect and he is so arranging.
Then, upon our arrival, we had an amazing welcome, as if we were coming home. Bernard welcomed us and introduced us to our guide, Sam.
During our 4-day safari, Sam was really amazing. He went above and beyond to show us the best scenes of animal life. He explained us so many things about the secrets of the wildlife, that was really impressive. He is kind, flexible and really reliable. He showed an amazing sense of service, and a deep expertise in the safari.
Finally, our trip would not have been the same without those guys. They are the best, and they really made us feel home.

Great experience in Kenya
We really enjoyed the safari experience with Jocky Tours & safaris. Our driver was David Mukami and he made every effort to make us see all animals in their habitat. He is a good driver, he managed to take us safe to the destination, although the weather wasn't friendly at all.
I recommend this experience for all it offers.
