ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
If I had to summarize this trip in two words it would be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Every aspect was absolutely amazing. The game reservation Maasai Mara, the lodge, the staff, the organization and quick responses of Polly and of course our awesome guide/driver Daniel.
Finding a fitting Safari was not easy. We were a group of 6. Four Adults and two 11-year-old boys. One of the adults is a nature photographer, so we needed to find a good combination that gave the photographer plenty of time get all of her perfect shots without the rest of us getting bored. We nailed it.
There are so many different Safari Operators to choose from. We decided to go with Mufasa Tours because for one the reviews were great and because Polly was so great in helping us plan our trip. She suggested the Tipilikwana Mara Camp which was a perfect match for us. It was pure luxury. We got so spoiled. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating and the food was delicious. We were told to watch what we eat when we left home “Boil it, peal it or leave it”. After being careful the first day, we were convinced that everything is carefully prepared and ate everything even the salad. Nobody in our group had any problems.
Our guide/driver Daniel was the bomb! He picked us up in Nairobi with a comfortable 4x4 Landcruiser with a pop-up roof and drove us to the Camp. A six-hour drive with a few stops to stretch. Daniel is extremely knowledgeable and funny. He explained so much on the way to the camp and answered all of our question, which were plenty

Great Safari tour, experienced guide and coordinator!
The Safari was great! Hilary was extremely accommodating, including a few changes I requested last minute, and everything was on point. He even was answering fast and giving recommendations at all times on the day. Food was amazing all throughout, and the service was optimal. We managed to see all big five thanks to our guide Floridi, and so so so many lions. Serengeti is amazing for sure. Met also really cool people in the tour, specially for someone traveling solo. I highly recommend this tour to anyone else interested in traveling here.

Amazing tour
Awesome tour with Bujo Safaris, Johnson is always there to take care of everything and make sure you enjoy every minute of it! The service is very personalised as it is a smaller company which is amazing. We personalised our tour as we wanted to do extra things and it all went really well. All the places we stayed at were great and the service was really good too. Johnson will go out of his way to provide the very best tour experience for you. Recommended 100%!

Fantastic Safari Team
I just returned from an outstanding trip to Uganda! I began working with Edris over 3 years ago to plan this trip for a "large" group - 13 people. Covid happened, we had to make date changes, we had participant changes, and lots of other challenges thrown at us. Edris was flexible, helpful, and always available. I truly can't say enough positive things about working with Edris. Finally we were able to make the long planned trip the end of August 2022.
The trip was wonderful, we saw and experienced so much. We had wonderful gorilla and chimp treks. Our driver and guide Joachim prepped us on what to wear, what to expect, and how to behave in the presence of the animals. His prep was spot on as one member of our group was approached by a large male gorilla. She did exactly as instructed and all was well.
We also went to beautiful Lake Bunyonyi and did a sunset cruise, visited the EXCELLENT Ride 4 Women Cooperative (a MUST visit on your trip), hiked in the Bigodi wetlands, visited the Equator (twice!!), drove through Queen Elizabeth National Park and got to see a lion in a tree among on things! Plus we got to see a lot of the beautiful countryside and crater lakes. Uganda truly is a stunningly beautiful country.
Edris, Joachim and Ronnie treated our group to a fantastic trip. The guys were upbeat, positive, funny and REALLY hard working. We quickly all became friends!
The lodging was wonderful and the food was truly outstanding. Edris even worked with one of the lodges to provide a birthday cake for my mom who turned 75 on the trip. The cake was wonderful and it meant so much to me that we were able to have the cake for her. The only complaint from the group was that the food was too good and that everyone gained weight! If that's the only complaint, then you know the trip was great!
Here's one last specific example of the outstanding customer service we experienced. Like a dummy, I left a number of items in my windowsill at a lodge. It was night vision equipment, a solar charger, other chargers, etc. These were expensive items. The lodge contacted Edris after we'd left, explaining that I'd left all the items. Edris and Joachim coordinated the shipment of all of these items back to Kampala, so I would have them before I left to head home. I was shocked that they got it done. This team is truly amazing.
This is an EXCELLENT team that will work with you to provide your dream trip to Uganda. I wholeheartedly recommend them and hope to see them all again someday!!

Once in a lifetime trip!!
My partner and I booked an 11 day tour with Bujo Safaris starting on the 3rd of September 2022. The plan was to leave from Kampala and visit many of Uganda’s attractions: Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth NP, Kibale NP, Bwindi NP, Lake Mburo NP, Lake Bunyonyi, and more. What can I say? Everything went perfectly according to plan and this tour has exceeded our expectations! Johnson is an excellent driver and has always made sure that we were taken care of and that we would not miss any of our activities. You can tell that nothing made him happier than seeing us being mindblown by Uganda’s incredibly beautiful nature, animals and people. When we had small mechanical issues, he reacted very quickly to find suitable solutions while the car was being fixed so that it wouldn’t delay our trip.
Would highly recommend Bujo Safaris to anyone going to Uganda in the blink of an eye!

Great driver
The safari was done by Amos. He arrives everyday at the exact specified time, has great personality, knows the entire reserve, and has a great network of contacts to be able to see any animal you want.
We saw everything we wanted, even a river crossing during the migration. Rhinos and leopards are the only scarce animals we weren’t able to see, only the lucky ones do.

The Best
We highly recommend Nkuringo Safaris. Catherine, our Safari Consultant, planned an excellent itinerary for our family’s two week tour of Uganda, smartly balancing adventure and relaxation. Also, the lodges she selected were truly first-rate. In addition, she was a tremendous help during are arrival and departure from Entebbe. We also can’t say enough about our guide, Jack. He’s a fantastic conversationalist, and his expertise regarding the various communities, parks, and animals of this beautiful country is exceptional. Furthermore, he did a fantastic job of handling our three teenagers and adjusting the day’s schedule based on conditions and energy levels.

Knowledgable, engaging, and amazingly talented at finding animals we never would have seen!
My college friends and I had a fantastic experience with Mazingira, and would recommend using them to anyone. Our guide Boniface was so informative and amazing at finding animals we never would have seen without his sharp eyes and talent. Value for money was excellent, and we were very pleased with hotel choices providing excellent food, comfortable beds and additional amenities such as a swimming pool to take a dip in after a long day of safari. Going on safari is a once in an lifetime experience, and Mazingira is a wonderful company to go on safari with!
