Great place with excellent national parks
I enjoyed Uganda very much. First I made a five day safari with Green Zones and I had the best guide ever. We did not only see the wild animals, we had a lot of time to explore them. We saw lions hunting a warthog, gorillas with a two month old baby, a lot of elefants, giraffes,...
After the trip I visited a school were my son works as volunteer and I experienced how hard life can be specially for kids. Parents often don’t have the money to pay the school fees and the boys and girls spend their whole day carrying water from the boreholes to the villages.
Travelling in Uganda was safe, even for a women alone and adventurous with many people sitting in a taxi or on a boda boda.
I would like to visit Uganda again to learn more about the country.

An amazing country! The people are super friendly, the landscapes are beautiful, and the wildlife is
We did Chimpanzee & Mountain Gorilla trekking, which was the highlight of the trip. The close access to the animals was such a surprise, but also amazing. The trek to the Mountain Gorillas was a challenge, but so worth it. The guides and the entire staff helping with the trek were just awesome. It was a "once in a lifetime" experience for sure. Our tour guide from the agency Home to Africa, was Derrek and he made the trip amazing for us.

Magical with amazingly people and hospitality.
My experience in Uganda exceeded any expectations I had. The scenery was beautiful and varied: tranquil lakes, wild waterfalls, lush mountains with incredible vegetation and birds, dense forests and the open bush. Unbelievable sunsets and sunrises. The amount of wildlife is not as dense as other safari destinations so not a lot of big cats, however, the gorilla and chimpanzee treks make up for that. If you are a birder it is a must go. There are so many varieties and as one’s eyes adjust you begin to spot them everywhere. We went with a small local Uganda company, Azas, and Simon the owner came through on all that was promised. Our driver/guide, Allan, was one of a kind. He became like family. He made sure we were well cared for and went out of his way to accommodate us. The people of Uganda were welcoming and had such beautiful spirits. Our accommodations were amazing as was the food. I would skip the cities like Kampala and Entebbe except as a point of entry and departure. But the rest is pure magic.

Short-Long stay!
Unfortunately we've spent Just 6 days in Uganda, and considering what this Land can offer is very short time!
We've travelled through 2000 km in those days and we've being able to spot different landscape and an amazing wildlife!
I really reccomend Uganda and in future i would love to visit again this terrific country!

Great variety of animals
The organized tour with Home to Africa and more specifically with Karim was great! We enjoyed touring around the country, seeing more animals than expected, more beautiful sceneries than expected and meeting many very friendly people. Karim was very knowledgeable, friendly and flexible, which contributed greatly to this wonderful experience! ;-)

Marvelous
The trip was fantastic. Uganda is marvelous, People are very friendly and the landscape is really spectacular. The experience with gorilas was amazing, something to do at least once in life. But the trekking with chimpanzees disappointed us, we did it in Queen Elizabeth and not in Kibale and the truth is that it was not worth. We didáctica everything with Home to África, and everything except trekking with chimpanzees were fantastic.

We came as guests and left as friends after a fantastic 6-day-primate "Safari with Jon"
Thanks to his knowledge, we were given valuable tips on when and where to go, and we have learnt a lot about Uganda, its wildlife and its history. Jon was really ambitious to get us enthusiastic about his country and its people - and he succeeded 100%.
We opted for the fly-in option and in hindsight were very glad that we didn't have to do all the transfers by 4x4, but of course the overland route has the advantage that you get to see a lot more of the villages along the roads,

so it's no wasted time if you opt for this way of travelling.... and Jon is a great driver who skillfully tries avoid the potholes.We are very grateful for this incredible experience and highly recommend "Safaris by Jon" to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience at a very fair price in Uganda - the value for money is excellent!

The charm of Africa still virgin
My 6 days in Uganda followed by Kaje Safaris. In a short time, but full of strong emotions, I had a beautiful image of Uganda, thanks above all to the experience and professionalism of Kajie through my guide (now friend) Colly. From mountain gorillas, to the safari in Queen Elizabeth Park, up to the pursuit of chimpanzees and, finally, a river excursion which completed the observation of the big five. I was lucky enough, thanks to the experience of the guide, to see 4 big ones in a single day. Lions, hippos, African elephants (the largest in the world) and the very rare leopard. In addition to the fauna and the fabulous landscapes, I cannot help but say that the friendliness of the people and their gratitude touched my heart and I am already thinking of returning to Uganda as soon as possible.
To conclude, I would like to recommend Kajie Safaris for their professionalism, seriousness and preparation. They make sure you don't lack anything and satisfy every request. I couldn't have chosen better.
