A well-organized company that provides friendly guided tours at a good value for the price
We had a wonderful experience with Buyaga Safaris from start to finish. Communication before and during the trip was clear, reliable and well organized, and everything went according to plan.
Our guide Anderson was professional, friendly, kind and always ready to help. It was obvious that he genuinely enjoys his work and has a real passion for Uganda’s wildlife and nature. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the safari even more enjoyable, and we always felt safe and well looked after.
The tour was very well planned, with a great combination of wildlife, beautiful landscapes, gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, and local experiences. The service and value for money were excellent.
We would definitely recommend Buyaga Safaris and especially Anderson to anyone planning a trip to Uganda.

A Story Comes True
A favorite bedtime story I told my daughter came true when we visited Tanzania and Kenya together. The elephants, zebras, lions, rhinos, and other animals I described nightly appeared right before us in our game truck! Along with my husband we enjoyed 12 days of exploration, delicious cuisine, authentic safari camps, and conversations ranging from wildlife behavior to local customs. We really enjoyed the company of our guides and the hospitality of everyone who made our trip memorable.

She organized every detail very well, we didn’t need to worry about anything at all
We had 4 days safari tour for our honeymoon, 2 days Serengeti, a day of Ngorongoro and another day of Tarangire which has become a priceless experience thanks to the team.
Flights, transfers, accommodation and meals were well arranged. They have power sockets for each seat on the car and a fridge, lunch is a real food like pasta with chicken and vedges and biscuits. Pack of snack with fruit was also available along with a safari tshirt, a traditional Maasai cloth. Special thanks for hundreds of red roses, wines, Champaign and honeymoon tshirts.
We have seen 4 of the big 5 on the very first day, our driver Adrian was brilliant, knows what he is doing, feeds you with info about the animals, land and culture. Also seen big migration, a buffalo hunt by a lion and many more.
I would trustfully recommend this company and ask for Adrian as a driver.

Outstanding Private Tour in Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara
Great personalized tour with Nelson who gave us a once in a lifetime experience in Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Due to his experience, we were able to see the big 5 and witness the great migration. It was a very rare experience. I highly recommend this tour with Nelson.

Great
This tour was amazing. Highly recommend the 8 day trip to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Mombasa. I had a blast and loved my tour guide, Kennedy. He was so nice, funny, knowledgeable, and overall just great to be around. I feel very lucky to have had him. The value was great. The only bad thing I would say about this tour is the boxed lunches. They give you absolutely terrible sandwiches, mediocre snacks and extremely dry chicken. Some days they don’t even give you protein. I highly recommend bringing your own mustard and/or mayo because the sandwiches are so dry for lunch. The breakfast and dinners were good though. For the price we pay, we should be getting WAY better lunches. But I still highly recommend this tour regardless because every tour in Kenya seems to give everyone terrible lunches no matter which company you book with. They are quick to respond via WhatsApp.

Great experience for a great value
I was nothing but impressed with this company. Our guide Gilbert was truly amazing. He was always on time, polite and really knows what he’s doing. He found us every safari animal including the rare ones and used our time wisely since we only had 1.5 days in the Serengeti. I also set up a birthday surprise for my fiance and he was so helpful coordinating everything so it could stay a surprise. I highly recommend using this company and also requesting Gilbert as your guide!

Patient guide, good knowledge about Tanzania culture
The day before my safari, my guide (John) took me on a tour of Arusha town. It was a wonderful experience; John was very patient and provided detailed explanations of Tanzania's history, culture, and religion, taking me to the cultural heritage center, the central market, and the Maasai market.

Go with Lion King
Communication from the beginning was excellent, they updated us about changes and were even checking in to be sure we had Visas. They gave us a final itinerary and the travel in country matched this exactly. Everything was also on time! I thought the value of the food (there was SO much) and lodging was excellent. We always had water without having to worry, they even brought wine and beer for us on safari!
The safari itself was beyond amazing. We did 4 days and thought that was perfect. We did a lot of driving but were in excellent hands with our safari guide, Tembe. Would rebook with him or recommend to anyone going on safari! He always kept us updated on the plan and where the next washroom stop would be. The roads are rough but his driving skills were excellent and safe for these conditions.
We saw so many animals and our guide Tembe was able to find animals I didn’t even know were there until he pointed them out. He was able to take a side road and track down a cheetah for us to see, that hopped on the back of the car! He was knowledgeable about the roads of the parks, shared incredible knowledge of the wildlife as well as ecosystem and country culture. We were so appreciative for this and learned a lot. Also for the safety, attention, patience, and kindness showed by all the lion king staff!
Also, the driver who picked us from the airport, Justin was very kind and also shared knowledge about the country culture and personal details. Would highly recommend. He was the first person we met in country and offered a warm kind welcome!
Thank you lion king, Justin and Tembe
