Wonderful and amazing
Overall rating
5/5

Really fabulous. It exceeded all my expectations. I hired Gorillas and Beyond Safaris. I had an excellent guide and driver, Baluku, and I was able to see lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffalos, rhinos, zebras and hippos up close, in addition to enjoying the tracking of gorillas and chimpanzees and the wonderful boat ride through the Kazinga channel. All the hotels were excellent, as was the food. I thoroughly enjoyed it and definitely recommend it. I insist: they fulfilled everything and exceeded my expectations.

An anforgettable experience
Overall rating
5/5

We had the pleasure of taking a 10-day trip to Uganda where we were able to enjoy visits to the national parks and see a multitude of animals, including the "big five" and to top it off the Gorillas.
It has been a fabulous experience, enjoying the wild nature, the agriculture with extensive fields of tea and other products and above all the friendliness of the people that makes Uganda a fabulous destination.
We have made several trips to Africa, and I can assure you that this has been the best by far.
For all that, if anyone is thinking of taking a trip to Africa, UGANDA is without a doubt the country to choose.

Uganda has absolutely beautiful scenery and people.
Overall rating
5/5

Uganda was awesome. The natural beauty is stunning. The camps we stayed at were comfortable, clean, in great locations, and the staff wonderful. We felt safe at all times due to the diligence of our guide/driver (Vianny from Home to Africa) and the additional guides. In regard to highlights, the landscape was the hit for us, of course the wildlife, including birds, was amazing, but just the natural beauty was our favorite. Even though we were traveling at the end of the short rainy season, our weather was terrific, with only rain during the day for short periods or at night. The previous rain did make for interesting road conditions at times, but really that just added to the adventure. Honestly, we did not have much interaction with local people outside of the camps, but when we did, they were gracious and kind. We would love to return to Uganda and spend more time, 7 days is not enough to fully appreciate such a marvelous country and people.

Indescribably beautiful
Overall rating
5/5

The country is beautiful, the people are friendly, approachable, open, funny and always in a good mood.

The safari with NganiSafari was an unforgettable experience for me. I hit the jackpot with my driver, David. He always knows where and how best to master what. He knows the places where the BIG 5 hang out and knows great corners.

5/5

We had the most beautifull experience in Uganda! In 3 weeks, we enjoyed Sipi Falls, Kidepo NP, Queen Elisabeth NP, the magnificent Murchison Park and the Falls (never seen such a stunning and powerfull Fall!), Kibale NP, with an unforgettable Chimpansee tracking!! We enjoyed a boatride on the Nile, a boatride at the Kasingachannel, we will never forget the stunning Gorillatracking, it was amazing!! Our last 2 days we stayed at M’Buro Lake NP.
we saw many buffalo’s, Lions, lions with cobs, a Leopard with a kob, snakes, hyena’s, girafs, zebra’s, Topi’s, impala’s, elands, elephants, hartebeests, lot’s of hippo’s, many, many little and very big birds, ….
We visited a school
We visited a coffee plantation and a banana plantation and we went to a community centre for women, we had also a tour with the Batwa people
The weather in september was very good, warm but everyday a little or a less little shower.
The local people were very friendly.
The roads are very bad, you definatly need a 4wheeldrive and a local driver.
We had our trip with Azas Safaris and everything was well organised and we had the best driver/ranger!
We hope to come back!

Uganda is an underrated destination. I had a wonderful time. The people were so kind and I felt completely safe. I visited Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Kibale Natinal Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. I had top tier, once in a lifetime animal encounters at each location. Go!

5/5

Uganda is a wonderful country, full of explosive and lush nature. We saw many animals (elephants, giraffes, hyenas, lions, leopards, antelopes, zebras, hippos, buffaloes, all types of birds) and the encounter with chimpanzees and gorillas was truly exciting. We found the food good and basically cheap and the people were friendly and smiling. The rangers and guides were kind and very knowledgeable. Definitely one of the most beautiful trips of my life!

Overall rating
5/5

We were in Uganda for an internship and wanted to book a Safari last minute - therefore this website was great! We found the perfect match and the company managed to Organise the Start of our trip within to days!
The Country itself was really beautiful and we were surprised about the variety of the different National parks within Savannah and Rainforest. We felt safe the whole journey with our Safari-Guide and the park-Rangers. The weather was still good in the beginning of august, but it started to rain in the end of august(->Tip: visit country before rain-season). All in all it was a really lovely trip and we enjoyed it!
(One last tip: look for a proper car- the roads are really bumpy nearly everywhere and the “african-massage”, like our guide called it, isn’t that enjoyable after some hours of driving)
