Fantastic 10 day trip in Uganda with Nsavi Safaris
I decided to travel to Uganda only for the Gorilla trekking, but decided, since in the country, I would visit other places it had to offer. Thank God I did so. This country is amazing. Above all expectations. So diverse. While driving through the country with my fantastic driver Jacob, I could not take my eyes off the scenery and views. Breathtaking. Although some trips were quite long, they were not tiresome. Jacob would go out of his way to make me feel comfortable, have enough “bathroom” breaks , and fresh fruit, bought from the local sellers. Always with a smile on his face and so proud of his country.
I travelled alone and decided to book everything through a local tour operator. I opted for Nsava Safaris because from the first email I wrote to them, Victoria proved to be the professional and passionate person she is. She was so patient and caring during the whole booking process and always there for me when I had problems and answered all my questions. I also received a welcome gift from them, an African themed cosmetic bag and Ugandan coffee, which by the way is my favorite. I would only drink that.
The lodges were perfect, the staff very kind and helpful, and food excellent. Jacob also made me taste local Ugandan food. Very good indeed, especially the grasshoppers!!! Thank you Jacob
If you want to visit Africa, you must go to Uganda. If you need a tour operator, you must choose Nsavi Safaris. Not only for the hard work they put in making sure everything is perfect for the traveler, but also because it is a young company, with young employees, nonetheless with so much experience and knowledge. And the manager director is Victoria, a young courageous lady who has decided to open her own company.
Thank you so much for this great holiday. Hope to see you soon. Webale!!

exceeded expectations!
we had an amazing experience with nsavi safaris. from the moment we saw the sign with our names on it to hugging our driver goodbye, it just was the best. egide was our driver and we enjoyed his company immensely. he shared so much history and information with us. his spirit was consistently cheerful and as a professional he made sure to always get us what we needed. egide was on time, always consistent and took great care of us. we were truly sad to say goodbye to him. when i come back to rwanda i will definitely be reaching out to hire him again. he was the best!

Incredibly interesting, friendly and very flexible
I booked this tour alone so really wondered how it would develop.
Nsavi Tours made sure from the moment we met, (pick up was punctual), to the moment we parted, (me in tears), that every wish I had was fulfilled.
I was looked after so well, (although not needed), and cared for like a family member.
My guide and driver Jasper, went out of his way to make sure every detail of the tour was just perfect.
From the birthday cake, to returning to the falls, yet another game drive to look for lions, the hotsprings, every lake we drove past.
He listened to me and heard what I wanted to see and made it happen.
He is so knowledgable and knew an answer to all my questions, which were at least a thousand a day and drove constantly looking for motives for me to catch on the camera.
The result is over 7000 photos, a million memories and the desire to visit Uganda again as soon as possible.
Nsavi can be very proud of such an amazing guide, that makes all the difference in a tour.
I live and work in South Africa and know hundreds of guides, but Jasper is by far the best, I have ever met.
He is polite, consistent, careful, punctual and friendly.
Nsavi gave me the holiday of a life time and it was worth every cent and more!
Value for money? Definitely!
I couldn’t have asked for better lodges and the itinerary was full but covered all I wanted to see and do.
Will I be back? Definitely!
Will I book with Nsavi again? I’m sure.
Will I recommend Nsavi? Absolutely.
Keep up the good work, you guys rock!

A professional & knowledgeable tour operator who showed genuine interest in our travel plans.
From the planning stages of our trip to our arrival in Entebbe a few weeks ago, there was help at hand at every stage, it was a pleasure to deal with a company with such professional values.
Thanks to Victoria for the time and care shown throughout the months of planning, for answering the many questions along the way and for guiding us in our decisions. Everything worked out as planned and our week in Uganda was simply wonderful.
Our journey through Uganda was with Bob, a skilled Nsavi driver, knowledgeable guide and considerate person. Our preference was to drive from place to place to take in the Ugandan countryside. Although each transfer took several hours it was in the comfort of a spacious 4x4 vehicle.
Thanks to Bob for all the interesting information shared along the way, for the care shown and driving us safely around Uganda.
Asante Sana Nsavi!!!!

Nsavi had thought of everything!
The whole experience with Nsavi from airport pickup to drop-off 4 days later was perfect! They really went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. Jacob was incredible as our driver and guide - very friendly and knowledgeable! And he treated us to the best tiny bananas and pineapples we have ever eaten on the drives between lodges. We did the chimp trek and gorilla trek and both exceeded expectation. The lodges were in beautiful locations and the organisation meant that we didnt have to worry about anything from the moment we arrived in Uganda. We met Victoria at the end of our trip before leaving and she had arranged a day bed in a hotel near the airport due to our late flight. Couldnt fault a thing - would so highly recommend Nsavi to anyone thinking of a safari or trek in Uganda! Just incredible! Hope to go back soon!

Great Adventure
Victoria was the most efficient person running a tour company I have come across. She contacted me via whatapp to find out where I was as I had been delayed in arriving in Uganda. Victoria then helped to get my Ugandan visa processed quickly so I was able to arrive and start on my safari even though I was much delayed. Also my luggage ended up in Kigali and Victoria helped get it to me in my accomodation up country.
I would have not hesitation to use Nsavi again, which I am already planning to in the near future.
My driver Jasper was excellent too and was great at sorting out any vehicle issues. I will request him again next time.

Wants continuous improvement
Victoria is the owner of Nsavi and is hands-on. We had an excellent gorilla trekking adventure, stayed at a great lodge (Four Gorillas Lodge), and their Landcruisers were very comfortable. After a long day of flying in from Serengeti, Tanzania then driving several hours to the lodge, we were tired. What our group appreciated was how receptive Victoria and the drivers/guides were to our feedback as they want to provide excellent service and continuous improvement. They are customer service oriented, and prior to our trip, they provided us with a packing list and asked if we had any food restrictions. I recommend booking with Nsavi.

An experience we will remember for the rest of our lives!
Our Nsavi tour was such a memorable holiday! Nsavi was very helpful throughout the booking and traveling process. They made the trip simple and worry-free. The hotel was comfortable with wonderful bird watching. The food was delicious and the service was friendly. Our driver was invaluably helpful, friendly, and great company. The gorilla and golden monkey experiences were something we will remember for the rest of our lives. We had an absolute blast and can't wait to come back and do it again. There is so much more we want to see!

Amazing service, incredibly friendly and ensured the best trip possible
From the moment we were picked up to the moment we were dropped off Francis looked after our every need. All of the accommodation was of an excellent quality, all the hotel staff were extremely attentive and helpful, Nsavi have obviously done their research on the best places to stay. The itinerary was actioned packed (why we chose this trip) and lived up to our expectations and exceeded them. We had excellent opportunities to view the wildlife throughout the trip and that Francis worked very hard in the game parks to locate the wildlife and find what we wanted to see. Both the chimp and gorilla trekking were well worth the price of the permits. From the point of enquiring and booking the trip Victoria was extremely responsive in answering all our questions and coming back to us almost immediately. We couldn’t have asked for more from a tour company. We would highly recommend Uganda as a country to visit and Nsavi as a tour company to travel with.
