Exceptional 11-Day Uganda Safari - Book with Confidence!
We have just returned from an incredible 11-day safari across Uganda with Wild Uganda Safaris, and I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough.
Like many UK travellers, I was initially a little apprehensive about booking directly with a company based overseas rather than using a UK tour operator. However, I can say without hesitation that Wild Uganda Safaris are completely legitimate, professional and trustworthy. From start to finish, everything was handled exceptionally well, and any concerns I had disappeared very quickly.
A special thank you to Ernest, who helped us put together an itinerary that worked perfectly within our budget while still maximising the wildlife experiences and activities. He was responsive, helpful and clearly understood exactly what we wanted from our trip.
The safari itself exceeded all expectations. Our guide and driver, Kasim, was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire trip. He immediately made us feel comfortable, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and was an excellent driver on some challenging roads. What really stood out was how much effort he put into ensuring we had the best possible experience. He frequently went above and beyond, adding extra stops and opportunities so that we could see even more wildlife and make the most of our time in Uganda.
Thanks to Kasim's expertise and determination, we were fortunate enough to see an unbelievable variety of wildlife. Highlights included lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos, jackals, hyenas and countless other animals. We were also lucky enough to see the incredible shoebill, which was a real bucket-list sighting.
For me personally, the primate experiences were unforgettable. Trekking to see the mountain gorillas was every bit as amazing as I had hoped, while spending time with chimpanzees and golden monkeys was equally memorable. The golden monkeys were an absolute highlight of the trip and something I will never forget.
Every day seemed to bring a new adventure, a new landscape and another incredible wildlife encounter. Uganda is a truly beautiful country, and Wild Uganda Safaris did a superb job of showcasing its diversity, wildlife and culture.
If you are considering a safari in Uganda, especially if you are coming from the UK and are unsure about booking direct, my advice would be simple: don't hesitate. Wild Uganda Safaris delivered an exceptional experience, excellent value for money and service that exceeded our expectations in every way.
A huge thank you to Ernest, Kasim and the entire team for helping create memories that will last a lifetime. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable Ugandan safari adventure.

Incredible Safari Tour
My wife and I had an incredible experience with Ndutu Green Explorers. Our first contact with them is through Godson, who was extremely kind and patient in crafting our honeymoon safari to my expectations. He even arranged pickup and droppoff to and from JRO airport as part of our package.
Our incredible guide was Ima. A lot of reviews say that the guide was the one factor that made or break your trip. With Ima, we saw not only all the Big 5 animals, but also cheetahs and giraffes. Within hours of our central Serengeti drive, we a leopard sleeping in a tree and two adult lions fighting over a kill. These memories will stay with us forever. Ima is also very kind and humble, always making sure we’re doing fine and even helping out other drivers and sometimes the local children in neighbouring towns. He has the Serengeti paths mapped in his head, allowing us to be one of two jeeps in viewing two lions relaxing underneath a tree and one in the tree. He was very easy to talk to and made the drives between camps engaging.
Thank you, thank you Ima and Ndutu Green - we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives and hope to be back soon.

Incredible adventure - Hakuna Matata
Our 3-day Masai Mara safari was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Our guide -Peter Ndungu was simply outstanding - incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and always happy to share fascinating stories and insights about the animals and the Mara. He was also a fantastic driver, navigating the roads with great skill and making us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
My friend and I felt very well looked after from the very first moment. Nothing was too much trouble, and our guide really went the extra mile to make the experience special. And the best part - we saw everything we had dreamed of seeing!
Every game drive brought something exciting, and we came home with amazing memories and so many incredible photos

The perfect way to spend our honeymoon, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish.
In 30 years, if anyone asks about our honeymoon, this memory will be the first thing that comes to mind, it was truly the highlight of our trip. David was a legend, and his patience and knowledge made our experience fantastic.
Cpt. Ahmed was equally brilliant, both skilled and friendly throughout.
The rest of the team deserves a huge shout-out too, from the cameraman to the launch and landing crew, and the breakfast staff.
Every single person made this a truly memorable day.
