Everything we dreamed of
When we started planning our trip to Uganda, we asked many places. We chose Mamaland Safaris because of the rapid, positive and competent answers we got. And we chose right!
We saw everything we had dreamed of - and more. We saw mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, tree-climbing lions, shoebill, giraffes, hippos, elephants and much more.
We enjoyed it all in safe, inspiring and amusing company of our always caring driver and guide Paul.
Thanks to him, everything went as desired. all practical isuses he had mastered, so we could concentrate on enjoying and experiencing animals, humans, nature and culture of this beautiful country.
Do you want a customized trip to Uganda, please contact Mama Country Safaris. They know how to do it!

I highly recommend Twaha and WJT - they are very professional and our experience was perfect.
Our safari was incredible, action-packed with a wide variety of animals that we saw very close up. The staff was professional, the safari was comfortable, and the experience was everything we hoped for.

Amazing Experience - Highly Recommended
Our mission group went on a safari in Murchison Falls at the end of our trip. Twaha and Remy were experienced to know all of the ins-and-outs one would expect and also filled with great knowledge about each of the animals - elephants, giraffes, kob, Jackson hartebeests, birds, hippos, water buffalo, water bucks, warthogs, crocs, plus lions and a leopard! Everything you could ever want to see! Without their knowledge and expertise we would not have been able to see half of the animals in as close proximity as we did.
They were a blast to get to know and laugh with, and obviously spoke very good English so even us Missourians could understand! I always felt safe and confident in their hands and can't wait until the next trip over there - we will definitely be using them again!

This crew of Twaha and Remy are top notch. They know the area and the where to find the animals! We had our heads on swivels the entire time! Not only do they get you up and close to the wildlife, their extensive knowledge of the animals is amazing. They know the most amazing facts about all the wildlife, from the birds and insects to the elephants and giraffe.
I have been on safari with this group twice and was not let down on either trip. Highly recommend!!
Amazing Experience for the Entire Group!
I take mission teams to Uganda a couple of times a year. At the end of the trip, we visit Murchison Falls National Park for 2 nights with Wild Jungle Trails; every single time it is an awesome experience! Pre-trip information has been great and thorough; it is nice to know Twaha is taking care of everything for us. Their game drives always surpass our expectations; yet I know our safety and comfort is always important to the staff. The cost is very competitive - and you walk away with new freinds! Two thumbs up for these guys! If you're considering using them for a trip in Uganda, don't hesitate!

Always greeted with smiles, the best vacation experience I've ever had!
What an amazing experience. The entire trip was well planned. We went on 2 game drives, a boat tour and visited the top of the falls. We were never rushed through anything and the drivers did their best to get us close to the animals without putting us in danger. I would highly recommend this company.

The most exciting holiday I have ever experienced.
From the beginning to the end there were nothing to complain about this tour,food was fantastic,the driver tried hard to search and take us see the difficult to see animals.I was a bit worried about the camp with tent but it was awesome!The staff was so attentive all the time, inside the tent were neat and had enough sleep there and moreover we saw quite few animals and family elephants !
The vehicle was very comfortable with plenty of water.
Nothing to worry about for all.
It was really an amazing trip!Thank you for all your service!

A great and reliable tour operator
We just came back form a eastern safari tour with Regional Tours, Zanzibar.
Everything worked out perfectly. The tour operator manager Maturaf is very nice and helped us even in other area of his business. The guide Edmond was fantastic and full of attention. He was always on time, taking care of us, driving smoothly on bumpy roads after lunch. It has done everything possible to satisfy us and help us to see the Big 5. And we did ! The first day, at Ngorongoro crater, we saw a leopard ! And a family of lions lying around in the Serengeti national Park. Not mention about elephants, rhino and buffalos.
The stay at Zanzibar, The Z Hotel is a heaven after the safaris !
Last but not least, Regional Tours is the most competitive company we have seen on the web.
I can only recommend it

An excellent tour company
We used Safari Bookings when we searched for tour operators with office in Uganda and who had budget tours. We contacted 40-50 of them and Karumuna Safaris gave us the best offer. The company had some good reviews and a good web page but you never knew how reliable the companies are on Safari Bookings.
We were however very lucky and got a fantastic 7-days safari with a good guide/driver, Ashadu, who spoke perfect English.
We also got to know Richard Kisembo, the owner of Karumuna Safaris, who is really nice. Richard did many extra things for us which we appreciated very much. They were not included in our itinerary. He, and his family, invited us to a dance show before the safari. He transferred us between two hotels in Kampala free of charge. He came to our hotel after the safari and wondered how it had been and then he also gave us two t-shirts. He drove us from Kampala to a hotel in Entebbe. We only had to pay for the petrol. It was good to know that he care for his customers not only during the safaris. I am sure that he would have helped us if something would have happened to us in Kampala.
We really recommend Karumuna Safaris. They have three safari cars beside at least an ordinary car used for transferring customers between hotels and to/from the airport. They have around 10 guides. Almost all guides in Uganda are so called ”free lancers”. They prefer to get paid when they are contracted since they don’t get much if they get paid monthly. Richard informed us that Karumuna Safaris will most likely be a member of Association of Uganda Tour Operators ( AUTO ) during 2016. It cost 100.000 Ush and it has a yearly fee of 300 USD if I remember correct.
We would of course use Karumuna Safaris again if we return. I better say when we return since Uganda is a very lovely country.
