Unforgettable safari experience! Knowledgeable guide (Daniel), great service, and stunning wildlife.
We stayed in three different national parks/sanctuaries—each one breathtaking. The views from the lodges were stunning, surrounded by nature and wildlife. Daniel, our amazing guide, looked after us from beginning to end. He was not only hilarious and kind, but incredibly knowledgeable, doing everything he could to help us find animals—including the lions we were so excited to see!
The trip started on a high note when we met the owner at our hotel, who gifted us safari blankets, hats, and water bottles—such a thoughtful touch that set the tone for a truly unforgettable adventure.
I now officially have safari fever! Thank you to Family Leisure’s Safari Tours for making this trip with my parents and boyfriend so special. We'll absolutely be back. And Daniel—thank you again for everything. Wishing you all the best!

Cheerful
I had a lovely Safari with tour guide Othuman. He was always very reliable, friendly, cheerful and knowledgeable, and communication in English was very good. The 3 1/2 hike which goes up and down quite a lot, is definitely worth the effort, and there is a rewarding view in the end. The local food we were served was very good, and the personnel very friendly. The lake, which was very beautiful, was also a bit smaller than I imagined, but it was still a very fun Kaneo experience. We overall did not see many animals along the hike, and the lake only harbors fish, yet I had a very great time since it was such a diverse tour with many different stops, and would definitely do it again with our friendly tour guide Othuman.

Good
Patrick my tour guide was amazing, he is so patient to explain all the animals questions I had and knowledgeable about them. Very happy with his service.
Although, the tour shouldn’t have put people doing hot air balloon in the same group, the waiting time it was too long.

A memorable safari in Uganda
Unforgettable trip to Uganda with Buyaga Safari – 15 days of wonders!
From August 7th to 22nd, we experienced an extraordinary journey through Uganda thanks to Buyaga Safari, booked by Nakupenda Africa Tourism. The organization was flawless, allowing us to explore breathtaking landscapes, enjoy close encounters with wildlife, and immerse ourselves in the local culture.
During the trip, we were lucky enough to spot the Big Five, an unforgettable thrill!
Most notably, the encounters with primates, especially the mountain gorillas and chimpanzees, were deeply moving and unique—truly some of the most memorable moments of the entire itinerary.
The accommodations were excellent: comfortable, well-maintained, and perfectly integrated into the surrounding environment. Each lodge or facility contributed to making the trip relaxing and enjoyable after full days of excursions.
The food was consistently delicious, offering a perfect balance between local dishes and more European-style options, always well-prepared and varied. A real pleasure for the palate!
A special thanks goes to Osman, our guide, who maintained an extremely professional attitude throughout the journey. He was always helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive, providing detailed explanations about the local flora, fauna, and culture, and proving to be a skilled and cautious driver, always mindful of passenger comfort and safety.
We highly recommend Buyaga Safari to anyone looking to discover Uganda in an authentic, safe, and well-organized way. Thank you for making our trip so special!

An 8-Star Guide
Our guide Bariki deserves 8-stars. He made all the difference on the trip with his sightings of leopards, cheetah and cubs, elephants basking in mud with their young, lion and lioness on their 'honeymoon'. a rare sighting of orix, wildebeest herds and more. He made our safari experience rich and memorable by teaching us how to differentiate male and female animals such as the elephants, ostriches, giraffes. We also saw an amazing array of bird life - spur winged geese, white faced whistling ducks, knob billed ducks, cranes, flamingoes...the list goes on. A good guide makes all the difference on a safari! I would not hesitate to recommend Bariki.
I wasn't too happy with a couple of hotels we were booked into - Okarien eco camp and Acacia luxury. But we loved the staff who tried very hard to make up for these two camps that need refurbishing. Other hotels were fine.

Excellent
The tour operator was very helpful, any queries were answered promptly. All accommodation has been excellent though we did opt to book our own hotel in Zanzibar as it worked out cheaper!
The main reason for the 5 stars 🌟 was our driver, Gilbert! He was great! Kept us updated with the plans for the day, we saw loads of animals and he was very knowledgeable on them all! Nothing was too much trouble! Absolutely brilliant!
