The best safari operator in Africa
Fantastic value for money, Philip Boaz our tour driver went above and beyond for us, anything we needed he had or would sort for us, he made it into a once in a lifetime safari trip we will never forget, We booked with safari soles directly and they are so easy to deal with quick replies and easy to work around us.
Philip found us multiple big 5 animals + a couple cheetahs and leopards he knew exactly where to go and when! 10/10 would book again

Great choice!
We chose Buyaga Safari for our tour in Uganda, and the overall experience was extremely positive. One of the aspects we appreciated the most was the flexibility of the tour operator. Although they offer well-structured standard itineraries, the team was able to accommodate most of our requests, tailoring the trip to our specific needs in terms of both itinerary and accommodation standards. Their willingness to adapt the program made the experience much more personalized and aligned with our expectations.
A special mention goes to our guide, Apton, who was a real asset throughout the journey. He was always punctual, professional, and willing to accommodate our requests, even when they involved small adjustments to the planned schedule. He kept the vehicle in excellent condition and demonstrated both safe and comfortable driving skills on paved roads as well as on more challenging off-road terrain. He was also proactive and resourceful in dealing with any unexpected situations or logistical issues that arose during the trip.
From a wildlife perspective, Apton has a solid knowledge of Uganda’s fauna, with particular expertise in birdlife. His ability to spot and identify a wide variety of bird species added significant value to our safari experience.
If there is one area for improvement, it would be the gradual renewal of the vehicle fleet. Although the vehicle we used was well maintained and reliable, a newer fleet would further enhance the overall experience and better match the high standard of service provided.
Overall, we would highly recommend Buyaga Safari to anyone looking for a well-organized, flexible, and customizable trip to Uganda, supported by attentive staff and knowledgeable guides who genuinely care about meeting travelers’ needs.

5 days safari trip was amazing, unforgettable experience.
We really enjoyed 5 days safari trip organized by Julius. We visited Masai Mara, Amboselli park and Tsavo East, saw a lot of fantastic animals just few meters from us, could observe their natural behaviour. It was perfect experience for us. We would like to thank tou our driver and guide Charles, who was excellent and very helpful. Everthing what we agreed on was kept. We definitely recommend it.

Great customer service. Wonderful safari toors.
First of all, customer service is the best, whey are supportable and always available for any questions, and recommending the best route to enjoy the adventure, since I’m travelling with my wife and two kids. Big thanks to Ms. ilham
Secondly, the toor guide. They are friendly and gives us a wonderful experience. They are doing their best to make us happy and enjoying the adventure, and giving many information about the animals. And all questions related to the animals they have the answers, which we like a lot. Especially, Mr. Ismaeel and Ramadan.
I would recommend Makini and I will choose Makini again if I’ll go to Tanzania in the future.

Fantastic to work with, Wonderful experience
This was an absolutely fantastic experience. I highly recommend this company. We did a 3 day gorilla and golden monkey tour. We also went to the Rwanda genocide Memorial, Ellen DeGeneres/ Diana Fossi education center, and the gorilla guardians cultural center. Hermosa was so well organized and communication was seamless. We had last minute flight delays and changes, they were easy to communicate with and flexible with the changes. Victoria made sure everything was taken care of for us. They took amazing care of us from the time that we arrived at the airport until we left at the end of the trip. Our driver Abou was amazing. Handoffs between him and the guides were easy. We were never confused about where we were or left alone to find our own way. They got the gorilla tracking license for us. We stayed at the Ingagi resort which was absolutely beautiful. The staff were so friendly and knew our names. All meals were included and they even gave us snacks to take on our hikes. When we returned to the resort after hiking to the gorillas, the staff took our gators and hike shoes and cleaned them for us! The entire experience was five stars! I would use this company again, and I highly recommend them. Rwanda was very safe in our experience and beautiful.

Incredible tour operator and tour guide
We organised a three day trip with Umurage Eco safaris and from initial contact, to the end of the tour was perfect. Jophride's commitment to ensuring that everyone has the best tour possible is incredible. He is a passionate, kind, funny, organised and engaging tour guide. I cannot recommend him highly enough. In our short visit we were able to go Gorilla trekking, see the golden monkeys, and see some of Kigali, including the genocide museum. I would definitely use Umurage Eco Safaris for my next trip to Rwanda.
