The Wild Uganda experience was far beyond expectation
As a fairly experienced safari traveller (Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa), this was my first visit to Uganda. I booked my vacation directly at Wild Uganda. I was charmed by its reviews and the very good value for money in comparison with other operators. There were quite some extra wishes to the standard 10 days offer such as an extra day and different lodges. Communication was very easy and fast via WhatsApp; I also had a very nice video conversation with Ernest. He was very friendly, helpful, flexible and fulfilled all our extra wishes.
Then the journey itself: as said we made several Safaris before in other countries and I must say this one was the most diverse. We did a lot of game drives in Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo and saw a lot of wild life: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos and so on. On top of that we had walking safaris at Ziwa (rhino 's), Kibale (chimps), Bwindi (gorillas) and Lake Mburo (giraffe, zebra etc). We also had boat trips at Lake Victoria (shoebills), Murchison Falls, Kazinga Channel and Lake Bunyonyi. Along the way we visited local communities such as a coffee farm, vanilla plantation, banana beer brewery and primary school. The Ugandese people are very warm and hospitable and real ambassadors for their country. Although it is hard to make a ranking in all of our activities, I must highlight the gorilla track since before booking we were in doubt whether we wanted to spend relatively much money on this tour. I must say it was stunning and worth every penny!
Accommodations were very nice, especially for its locations, welcoming staff and good meals. See reviews on Google maps to get an impression of what to expect. I read some rare negative stories of the lodges we visited, but the only thing I can say is that these are mainly based on unreasonable standards or expectations and ours are solely positive.
Most of all I'd like to mention our guide Allanie, who did a wonderful job at accommodating and establishing this breath taking experience! We had an informal daily briefing and everything was fitted to our wishes. He provided very useful information and extra stops at places of our interest.
If you have the opportunity, I would certainly recommend to book for 10+ days. This will give you the chance to relax every now and then and process all the experiences.
Im short, whenever I return to Uganda I will definitely book at this organisation again and can recommend anyone to do so as well.

This is a professional travel company. Traveling with them will bring you a unique experience that w
I traveled to Namibia with this company twice, in 2018 and 2024. During both trips, their meticulous care and thoughtful arrangements gave me profoundly different and memorable experiences each time. Moreover, they always managed to create unexpected surprises, making the entire journey exceptionally warm. Highly recommended!"

Absolutely amazing
Amazing company. We did a 3 night, 4 day safari. Reasonably priced compared to competitors. Worked around us to ensure we had the right accommodation.
Accommodation was phenomenal.
Tour guide Eliis managed to help us find all of the big 5. Even beat a record for the driver for amount of lions spotted.

Memorable Tsavo East and West Safari
I went for Tsavo East and Tsavo West safaris with Wecam Safaris from Nairobi. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. The guide was very patient and knowledgeable, taught a lot about animals. It was easy to take photos with the roof off the car. Beds were comfy and clean. The food was fun, too. Coming to Africa for the first time was such a beautiful experience that will be remembered for a long time.

Super friendly, informative and passionate
Marvin was a great communicator before, during and after the tour. He picked me up promptly from my hotel and took me on my ‘Cradle of Humankind and Caves Tour’.
He loves to have a chat and talk to you about Johannesburg and South Africa. I thoroughly enjoyed my tour, it was a great start to my trip.

Peter and Sebastian made a once in a lifetime experience come true!
Our recent trip with Peak Season Safari was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we landed, we were warmly welcomed by our coordinator, Peter, who ensured every detail was perfectly arranged. Our driver, Sebastian, was exceptional, navigating the landscapes with skill and knowledge that made our experience even more enriching.
We embarked on an unforgettable journey through iconic locations like Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and the stunning Diani Beach. Each stop was more breathtaking than the last, providing us with incredibly picturesque views and unique experiences. The accommodations were impeccable—100% all-inclusive with incredible buffets that catered to every taste. The hospitality we received was truly five-star, making us feel right at home throughout our stay.
The wildlife encounters were perhaps the highlight of our adventure. We were lucky enough to see an array of animals up close, including lions, giraffes, monkeys, and cheetahs. Observing rhinoceroses, elephants, zebras, hippos, wildebeests, impalas, gazelles, and an impressive assortment of birds was mesmerizing. Each sighting brought joy and excitement, and we even helped pull other jeeps out of the mud, with Sebastian’s Land Cruiser ! We by far had the best safari jeep in the entire group of vehicles! Our jeep never got stuck ,a testament to the quality of vehicle among safari-goers.
One of the standout experiences was the wealth of knowledge we gained throughout the tour, enriching our understanding of wildlife and the regions we explored. We returned home eager to share stories and facts with friends and family, ensuring that they too could appreciate the beauty of Kenya.
The warmth of the people we encountered, from our guides to the lodge staff, added to the overall experience. Their friendliness and willingness to share their culture made our journey even more meaningful.
In conclusion, this was by far the best trip of our lives. It exceeded our expectations in every way, and we left with cherished memories and a deep appreciation for the wonders of nature. We highly recommend Peak Season Safari for anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. Thank you, Peter and Sebastian, for making this tour the best ever!

Honest, reliable and flexible
No regrets going with Jonam adventures. From the start, communication with them was very prompt and responsive. After confirmation, we communicated via WhatsApp and it was easy contacting them.
For the tour itself, our guide/driver, Victor, was amazing. He was always smiling and very friendly. Great with kids too. The drive was not an easy one, especially the last 2 hours which was really bumpy. But he handled it really well. The jeep itself was very comfortable and spacious too, and even had a fridge to keep our drinks cold!
For the game drive, Victor was very passionate on sharing with us all the fun facts about the different animals that we spotted. He was very experienced and knowledgeable, which made our drive so much more interesting. We saw so many animals up close - elephants, giraffes, buffalos, zebras, warthogs, hippos, wilderbeast, hyenas, jackals, impalas, lots of birds including the national bird (lilac roller).
The stay was very comfortable at Jambo (4star hotel), full board with all meals provided. And our kids slept really well.
Overall we felt safe travelling with Jonam Adventures especially when we have 3 young kids with us. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great safari experience in Kenya!
