Professional,
Where to start?
When we booked our 5-day safari with Zohar, we had no idea we were in for the experience of a lifetime.
From the very first moment of our stay we were swept away by the magic of this exceptional trip in the true sense of the term. The organization was outstanding and the professionalism was top, making the experience unforgettable.
I can't talk about this trip without mentioning our guide SOLOMON. We started the trip as clients, and we quickly became best friends.
Thanks to his perfect knowledge of the parks and his audacity in the face of nature, we were able to witness scenes that will certainly mark us for life.
With the surprises and the original little attentions, Lilian engraved this trip in our memory forever.
I will never forget the bottle of champagne while admiring the sunset over the endless plains of the Serengeti and the Seronara Valley, or the picnic improvised by Solomon on a wild cliff of the savannah while contemplating the group of baboon curious by our presence.
The only negative point of this trip is the heartache we have to feel when we leave these spectacular landscapes and these ultra endearing people.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, and see you soon.

Highly knowledgeable and flexible timely response
Before this trip, Fahari Uganda Safaris had organized my travel in2019 but this time, i and my friend had only 3 days. They were able to customize a short but action-packed safari for me and my friend including a visit to Murchison Falls National Park to see the great Falls and a game drive. We also had a water cruise on the River Nile, Africa’s Savannah, the national park and finally the half day visit to the Source of the Nile in Jinja.

Extremely well organized, knowledgeable and careful
The most difficult part of this tour was getting a COVID test BEFORE we got to Tanzania. On the safari, it was a breeze! Walter set up the testing appointments at the airstrip and handed us our hard copy results before we got on the return flight. It couldn’t have been easier. NOW is the time to go! There are hardly any tourists and we saw loads of animals close up and personal, even the elusive cheetahs and leopards. Many lions; many baby animals. Take the balloon ride for extra $$$- it is worth it, and the company even let my brother make up a day he missed due to illness. Our tour guide, Lawrence, has eagle eyes and incredible knowledge of the habits of animals and birds. I felt entirely safe in his hands; he is an excellent driver on rutted roads. Be sure to look for birds- remarkable plumage and colors! The accommodations were top notch with great to excellent food, including gluten free. I have an odd personalized anti- inflammatory diet and never went hungry. The lodges are sublimely soothing- we took a few afternoons just to hang around watching the herds pass by. I even did yoga with an elephant. How about a personalized swimming pool on your porch? No kidding! At Kuria Hills Lodge! We did the luxury tour and it was worth it. These memories will sustain you for years. Go and rejoice in Nature’s wonders!

Amazing service. Very responsive.
Had the pleasure of working with compass odyssey for my wife’s 50th present trip. The trip was amazing. Darren took the time to have a zoom chat with us to learn about our interests. Then customized a trip just for us.
When SA informed some stricter covid rules that precluded us staying in Jo’burg Darren was able to quickly rearrange our travel plans we end up staying longer in the Okavango delta longer.
I would absolutely use them again and strongly recommend Compass odyssey.

Excellent Safari
Mercy she’s so professional at doing her work. Booking safari with her makes everything so easy. My friend and I went on a 3 days Masai Mara safari with Jadi safaris and it was excellent. We will definitely be back for another adventure.

Amazing tour operator
I did a 4-day mount Meru hike and simply it was perfect, i booked everything with Emanuel and it was all smooth, he is very reliable, replies quickly, very helpful and you can trust him and he really cares about you having a good time first and foremost, he even helped me take a tour at the market and helped to buy things i missed to bring with me from home...the hike was amazing all the itinerary was done exactly and even more, it was pretty well organized and safe, they did all they can to help me complete the hike successfully which wasn't an easy hike at all...the food and the service was really great i felt dealing with professionals and at the same time felt like family...if i'll ever go back again i'll go with crater explorers which i highly recommend.

Fantastic experience. Great value for money!
This was not our first safari experience, yet it was a fantastic trip and we enjoyed every minute of it. The whole team always tried their best to make sure we had a great time! Our special thanks to Bryson-our kind and helpful guide and driver, and Prosper-our incredible and accommodating super chef! They always had a positive attitude and made us feel safe and enjoy our time.
The car was spacious and comfortable with an open roof, and it had electricity to charge our devices. The routes and parks chosen were fantastic, and the game drives super fun- we saw many many beautiful animals and landscapes.
The accommodation was better than expected (as we thought we would be camping in ground tents every night), but we stayed in nice and comfortable rooms in 2 out of 3 nights, still giving us the chance to also experience camping with zebras around Ngorongor crater for 1 night.
Great value for money, and we totally recommend it.

Truly Breathtaking 7-Day Trip!
Absolutely every element of my 7-day trip was incredibly amazing! I've been to some fantastic locations before, but this tops the list and Kajie Tours was the key piece in making it so successful. From the beginning when I was considering the safari to taking off at the end of the trip, they were always ready to fully answer my many questions, make suggestions for the best possible outcome, and ensure everything went smoothly (a particularly difficult goal during pandemic times).
Ronald, my guide, was perfect! He was a wealth of knowledge about everything in Uganda, including the history, current trends, wildlife, destinations, and more. I was solo on this trip, so having a great guide is even more important - truly a total professional and a pleasure to spend time with. He was always ready to be companionable during the trip and at destinations, but also let me have space to explore alone (or take a nap) when needed. Anytime I mentioned being interested in something, he made it came true - from finding a chameleon to trying a number of particular local foods/drinks. I couldn't have wished for a better guide.
Regarding the trip itself, we did chimp trekking in Kibale, gorilla trekking in Bwindi, and game drives/boat rides in Queen Elizabeth & Lake Mburo. Highly recommend trying to fit as many game drives in as possible, especially in the early morning and late evening. All the accommodations were wonderful (in the thick of nature) and the food was always great (and fresh!). It's worth it to get some freshly picked/roasted/brewed coffee and to try the fresh banana gin.
Wholeheartedly recommend the trip with Kajie Safaris to anyone thinking about visiting Uganda!!!
