Rangers were excellent - Kibale was amazing - and the chimps were the greatest fun we got up really close and they were brilliant

Uganda is without doubt an experience you will never forget and never want too.
An overall wonderful experience filled with friendly helpful people, never forget wildlife and scenery which will leave you breathless. Whether it is the falls at Muchison NP, do the hike it is so worth it or the Chimps of Kibale or the Gorillas of Bwindi you will have memories to cherish for the rest of your life. Your greatest challenge will be trying to keep up. And that is only a glimpse of what could await you in this adventure.
Bring dollars in large bills ($50 or $100) as you get a better exchange rate for local currency. Charging can be challenging in the more remote lodges so bring power banks fully charged if you can. Always carry your passport as many parks will look for it or at least the number of it.
Always eat a good breakfast, you will need it!!!!! Bring a mask to see the chimps and the Gorillas, for their safety not yours!!! Enjoy lots of the local fruits, it is excellent. Buy Ugandan coffee, I did, and it is excellent.
Whether your thing is Elephants or Giraffes or Hippos or Lions you will see them all. I saw more butterflies that I have ever seen in the most beautiful colors and to many little birds to even count never mind name.
No matter your expectations you will not be disappointed.

Amazing experience
I did a 5-day safari (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha + Hell's gate). It was amazing. My guide/driver was Francis and thanks to him, we were able to see the Big 5 and even cheetahs at least twice. We were 7 in the jeep, which can be challenging at some times, but Francis did his best to accommodate everyone of us to get the best view on the animals. The hotels in Lake Nakuru and Naivasha were very nice.

It was surreal totally amazing
I came across axis Africa safari while searching for an affordable safari tour as part of my planned vacation in Kenya. The staff, Lennox responded promptly and effectively with detailed itinerary and always ready to provide any further information He was able to schedule the tour with the very short notice and it was very smooth. They picked me up from where i stayed and I was very lucky to meet John, our tour guide who is very polite, approachable, knowledgeable attentive and respectful. He would explain everything you want to know about animals in the safari. We spent 3 days in Masai Mara and the camp we stayed Jambo Mara Safari Lodge was awesome. Very lovely rooms with good ambience, extremely warm and friendly staff and excellent food. It was surreal and I would definitely recommend you to try Axis Afica Safari and hope you will meet John.

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!

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.

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.
