I have just returned from a 7-day safari in Uganda with Ngori Safaris, and all I can say is that it was a truly wonderful and unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, the agency was extremely kind, flexible and professional, and I would especially like to highlight the excellent way they managed everything throughout the trip.
Our journey started with an unexpected situation: my travel companions arrived one day late because their flight was cancelled. Despite this, Ngori Safaris did everything they could to reorganise the itinerary and make sure we were still able to do practically everything we had planned. To me, this really shows the ability of a travel company to adapt to unexpected circumstances and find solutions so that travellers do not miss out on their experience.
In my case, I arrived before my companions and was alone in Entebbe. Steven came to pick me up at my hotel and arrived right on time, which immediately gave me a great sense of professionalism and reassurance.
As I still had a few hours before my companions arrived, Steven immediately made sure I was comfortable. He asked me what I would like to do and what I wanted to see, and he recommended different places for me to visit and enjoy my time in Entebbe. He was attentive to me throughout and made sure that, even though I was alone, I felt accompanied and very well looked after.
And I have to say that Steven deserves a very special mention.
Over those seven days, I discovered that he is much more than just a driver. He is a kind, warm, patient, fun and, above all, incredibly thoughtful person. He was constantly checking that we were okay, that we were comfortable, that we had everything we needed and that everything was to our liking. Always with a smile and a wonderful attitude.
As a driver, he is also exceptional. He knows Uganda, its roads, tracks and routes extremely well, and he makes you feel completely safe. You can immediately tell that he has a great deal of experience and knows the terrain inside out. Throughout the seven days, we did not have a single problem.
But what really makes Steven stand out is that he genuinely cares about making sure you have a great experience. He does not simply drive you from one place to another. He gave us recommendations, explained things to us along the way and paid attention to all those little details that made the trip much more comfortable and special.
He also ended up becoming our official photographer! 😂📸 He was always happy to take photos of us, looking for good spots and showing incredible patience. Thanks to him, we now have so many beautiful photographs and wonderful memories of the trip.
Another thing he took great care of was the food. Whenever we ate outside the hotels and lodges that had already been booked for us, Steven always made an effort to take us to good-quality local places, so that we could also experience Ugandan cuisine. One day, he took us to a local restaurant where we had the most incredible roast pork — incredibly tender and delicious. It was absolutely fantastic.
The organisation by Ngori Safaris was also excellent. When I arrived, everything was perfectly organised and I did not have to worry about paying for small expenses that were already included in the programme. Even the entrance fee to the Lake Victoria gardens and the juice I had at Java Café were included. These may seem like small details, but for a traveller they make everything so much easier and more relaxing.
Our safari was an express 7-day safari, as part of a 19-day trip around Uganda, so we really needed to make the most of our time. Despite this, we managed to do practically everything we wanted to do and we did not experience a single problem during the safari.
Even on the days when we changed lodges, everything was very well organised, and Steven was always there to make sure everything went smoothly and comfortably for us.
And there is one thing I would especially like to highlight: thanks to Steven, I had one of the best travel birthdays of my life. 🎂❤️ Throughout the trip, he went out of his way to make me feel special and surprised me several times with thoughtful gestures I was not expecting. He turned what was already a special birthday, celebrating it while travelling through Uganda, into an even more beautiful and unforgettable memory.

Amazing Safari Experience!
We had the most wonderful time on this safari as a family of 6! Idris organized everything beautifully and was incredibly quick to respond to all our questions — you can tell he really knows how to put together a smooth, well-run trip.
A special shoutout to our guide, Apollo — he is a true nature man! He genuinely seems to hear the whispers of the wild, and his knowledge and passion made every moment feel magical. If you're booking this safari, do yourself a favor and request Apollo as your guide — you won't regret it.
The whole team did an amazing job from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience with family!

A perfect African safari anniversary trip
My husband and I went to Tanzania for our 25th anniversary. We chose Lion King for the numerous 5-star reviews. From the emails and WhatsApp calls to customize our trip to the fantastic team members at the lodges, everything was professionally and courteously handled. Even when we didn’t know if our bank transfer would get there in time, we were reassured by the owner Jim that everything was going to be fine. Our guide Youssef was phenomenal with his friendly demeanour and extensive knowledge of the wildlife. The accommodation was luxurious, comfortable, with great staff and amenities. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning on going to Tanzania. Asante sana Lion King.
