This is what biodiversity means.

If wildlife is a passion of yours, then this is the place to go. Everywhere you look, a new colourful bird will show it self. Rolling, green hills everywhere. The gorillas are an experience that can only be understood when you see them for yourself.

I did a budget tour with Home to Africa and Benon was our guide. Just an amazing experience. I went for the gorilla trekking and came back with so much more. Once in a lifetime experience. Saw so much other wildlife! The Batywa community was so interesting. All staff at our accommodations were so welcoming. Benon our guide was amazing always looking out for our best experiences. Go to Uganda it’s an amazing experience!!

we booked a safary by Karumuna Safari. we got the chance to see lots of the beauty of the country, especially the western part.
we came across many different landscapes, from very fertile parts to the savannahs'.
also the many different species of animals and birds were very impressive, the majestic species Gorillas were our highlight.
the parks are well conservated and reserved.
another higlight was the culturecenter Ndere in Kampala with many traditionell tribal dances, its a must see.

Uganda is marketed as the pearl of Africa and this is true! This country is green, with beautiful nature and animals (GORILLAZ!).
The country is safe. People are kind and polite. The food is delicious. If you go to Uganda, you should book Safari (e.g., 5 days) which is the best way to visit Uganda. Nice difference to other African countries that are not so prepared for tourists from Europe.

My daughter and I spent 5 Days in Uganda on safari and viewing the mountain gorillas. Both the culture and scenery were amazing. We always felt safe and Home to Africa was an efficient tour company. Highly recommended!!

The charm of Africa still virgin
Overall rating
5/5

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.

We came as guests and left as friends after a fantastic 6-day-primate "Safari with Jon"
Overall rating
5/5

We had unforgettable days in Uganda, thanks to the great company of Jon! From the first contact to planning the itinerary to saying goodbye, we were looked after warmly and reliably! We planned our tour individually and Jon fulfilled all our wishes. On request, various options were checked and we got valuable recommendations - so in the end the trip was perfectly personalized and even unexpected requests on the way have been fulfilled with a smile - at the end we felt like friends!

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!
