The gorilla experience was absolutely astonishing

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"

5 / 5 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,
Read more 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!

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.

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! ;-)

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!

My visit to Uganda was to fulfill my dream of Gorilla trekking. My travel was from Kampala to Bwindi forest by road. The roads itself are not the best as they are very bumpy but regular stops helps. We had amazing tour guides and we got to stop at various towns along the way. The equator line stop is lovely and a unique experience. The weather was quite humid and hot. Gorilla trekking experience at Bwindi forest was well-organised and experienced guides and trackers took good care of us and made sure we had an unforgettable experience. Our accommodations were really comfortable and all amenities were good. Visiting the Uganda lakes is a must. This beauty needs to be marketed more as I never expected to be so amazed by this experience. I was blown away by how kind and friendly the people are. So much patience and excellent hospitality. The food in Uganda is quite nice. More on the bland side though. I never felt unsafe at all in Uganda. Our tour operator was Montero Safaris and we did the
Read more 3-day gorilla trekking experience with them. I was very happy with their cost and what they delivered on.

Magnificent Uganda The Pearl of Africa

Through Safari booking we booked a 10-day trip to Uganda with Lulu Safari. Booking through Elvis was simple and transparent. Our guides Samuel, an excellent driver and Claudio, an excellent translator into Italian, satisfied us with all our requests and were very professional, informed about everything, plants, animals, habits and customs. Uganda has given us fabulous scenery from national parks seeing all the animals leopards lions hippos giraffes buffaloes crocodiles hyenas rhinos hundreds of types of birds. the icing on the cake was the gorilla trek that we met after three hours of walking and they were three meters away in front of us. during the journey we met several villages and were able to observe their way of life. We passed through savannahs and forests and mountains and lakes. One thing you can't forget is the smiles of the children. temperatures were pleasant in some places a little warmer in some places a little cooler with two or three afternoons of rain. we

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.
