Uganda's Best Guiding Company
Where do I start? We wanted to go with a local agency to avoid the rip-off that is paying an external agency a huge mark-up.
We chose Kajie for the reviews and they only exceeded expectations. We did a 9 day trip including 2 days of gorillas and chimps, QE national park, Murchison Falls, and Rhinos.
Firstly, Ronald, the founder of Kajie, was our tour guide. He is an exceptional human being and travel partner. My partner and I had such fun sharing the nine days with him and felt such a sadness leaving him behind. He is extremely bright, sharp-witted, superbly knowledgeable, an organisation machine, with a gigantic sense of humour and a big heart. From the first day we knew we had not made a mistake!
The tour itself was exceptional. Gorillas incredible (recommend more than one day) as was the area of Bwindi. Kajie organised exceptional accommodation (especially in Bwindi at Bweza and at Turaco Treetops, being the notable highlights). Chimps incredible. QE incredible. Murchison incredible.
Honestly there is nothing I can fault about this trip. It was a once in a lifetime experience and it was made all the better by sharing with such a great companion and guide.
Thank you so much to Kajie and Ronald for the passion toward guiding, nature, and conservation.

Professional, knowledgeable and intuitive to what we actually wanted from our time in Southern Afri
Our trip was everything and more. Matthys from discover Africa was very professional and knowledgeable. Easy to make contact with and listened, working with me to put together our trip. Clearly not his first rodeo.
The places and safaris we did, so well organised . Not touristy, home cooked food , local enthusiastic guides. Incredible experience.
Highly recommended Discover Africa

Two weeks adventure in Botswana
We spend two weeks in Botswana and Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) with Moonlight Safaris.
Everything was perfectly organized. Guides Bogosi and Judah took great care of us from arriving at the airport till our departure. They are very friendly, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about the animals and the life in Botswana.
We visited the Victoria Falls and made several boat tours on the Chobe river. Went on a special camping in Savuti, Khwai and Moremi for a 6 nights with two vehicles and support team of 4 people. They set up great camping for us, cooked delicious meals and made our life in the bush a real pleasure. It ended with two days boat tour in the Okavango delta with a one night special camping in the delta and a panoramic flight above it.
Needles to say we saw a lot of animals during these two weeks - elephants, lions, giraffes, leopards and cheetahs, wild dogs and zebras to name a few.
It was a great adventure and we returned full of unforgettable memories. I would highly recommend Bogosi, Moonlight Safaris and his team for everyone looking to experience Botswana's wildlife!

Trying hard but not there yet
I've been on over 200 safaris to East Africa in the last 25+ years.
When my first 2 vendors were not able to assist me on this trip I turned to these guys.
I was told they worked with many photographers in the past and understood what was needed.
We struggled to get our guide to do what we wanted/needed for the right shot - all within the rules. He was nice enough and kind BUT he was often on his phone making it difficult to communicate with him as we had to repeat ourselves almost every question/statement.
The guide did not even have binoculars - how can you be a guide and not have binos?
The vehicle was not in great shape. It did what we needed but for only having 3 in the car it was tight, narrow, and the way the rear seat was positioned it meant that the person riding in the back often hit their head on the top of the interior - this was often with the way our guide drove - often going way too fast over certain parts of the roads.
The camps we stayed at were all fine - I'd stayed at them before so knew what to expect.
The value was OK as their price was very aggressive, but the overall level of service was not up to the standard I like.
I give Kameraz a 3.5 out of 5.

unique experience
We traveled with Safari Africa United and it was a blast. Cornelius was attentive to our needs from the first contact at the airport. Our guide Tesha, who accompanied us during all the days of the safari, was attentive to our requests. I must say that he is a magnificent driver and an excellent guide, 100% respectful of the animals, which we really liked. The accommodations went from good to better and at the end of the safari we had a meeting with Cornelius to talk and exchange opinions. Everything was much better than expected, 200% recommendable experience with them.

Incredible, very beautiful
fantastic experience with blue range connect. everything was perfect as we asked for our personalized safari (Masai Mara-Serengeti-Ngorongoro). as for the guides (moses) for the masai mara and (richard and papa) for the serengeti and ngorongoro they were all fabulous. the price for 10 days was very good and the lodges were beautiful, especially Engilerata Lodge Camp.

Excellent. I went on a private 12 safari. I would recommend staying in the park.
My sister and I picked 5 national parks and resorts in the parks. This is very important to save time and maximize longer drives on your safari outings. We saw so many lions, approximately 100, cheetahs and cubs, leopards, rhino and the great wilderbeest migration! Our driver Lawrence was very accommodating and wanted to please us.

Good luck was wonderful in every way!
Our experience with good luck made our adventure better than we could have imagined. we were very lucky!
Anyone traveling would be lucky to have good luck as their guide. Good luck went above and beyond in every capacity to assist us and knows just where to guide.

Adventure of a Lifetime
A truly magical experience. We saw a huge array of animals in various settings. Our tour guide was always keen to get the best views, and even chased after a pair of cheetah cubs hunting a jackal, incredible!! Accommodation was stunning, particularly enjoyed camping (or glamping) out in the Serengeti and hearing animals outside our tents.
