Excellent in every way
Rating:

We had a courteous and highly knowledgeable guide who took us to see elephant, a leopard and lions as well as many other animals.
The organisation was efficient, fitting our budget and our interests. We stayed in a beautiful lodge, falling asleep to the sound of hippos in the lake below.
I highly recommend Buffalo Safari Camps - a great way to enjoy this beautiful country and its rich wildlife ... Read more.

Fantastic Wildlife Watching Experience

Everything was well organised & ran seamlessly. Buffalo Safaris surpassed my expectations. A wonderfully rich and diverse wildlife watching experience whilst taking in the Pearl of Africa’s ever changing landscapes, cultural depth and magical skies. Felt very safe and looked after & the camps were very comfortable & the food was delicious.

Thanks again Buffalo Safaris. This really was the trip of a lifetime.

Incredible especially when the gorilla family come to you by the roadside?

The whole booking process was very streamlined from regular communications with Dan, to extensive experience and knowledge from Roger our driver / tour guide. The accommodation was great for glamping! The stops numerous if requested the scenery picturesque, with plenty of wildlife and towns to view. Overall a great experience in the beautiful Uganda. The best part was not having to walk far to see ... Read more the gorillas they came to us!

Epic 13 day journey around Uganda
Rating:

Libby has already reviewed this trip, but I'd like to add my appreciation of the whole experience. Uganda was incredibly interesting and Emma added to our enjoyment with lots of local knowledge and insights, and I'm sure his good nature helped to keep us on track and on schedule. His skills and know-how most likely also prevented unexpected mechanical delays with the vehicle. It was a very enjoyab ... Read morele trip and everyone got along very well. Would recommend Buffalo Safari Camps to anyone wanting a tailored tour of this beautiful country.

Just completed a two week safari with Buffalo Safari Camps and wanted to share what a fantastic experience it was. Our guide and driver, Emma, did a fabulous job in taking us on a full circuit of Uganda, while taking account of our interests and needs. We always felt safe with his driving (not something to be taken for granted in Uganda), things ran to time and he provided some great insights duri ... Read moreng our travels. Buffalo put together a full itinerary for us with all accommodation, meals and activities included. We had specialist guides in each of the parks and other attractions and found the whole experience to be an excellent one. Would definitely recommend their services.

Fantastic experience and excellent guide.

Our family of 2 adults and 3 children visited Murchison Falls with Buffalo Safari Camps in July. We had a fantastic time. Our guide Emma was extremely knowledgable and friendly and we all really enjoyed his company for the 3 days. We stayed at Murchison Treehouse where the food and accommodation were great. The morning safari drive was the highlight of the trip and we also loved the boat trip ... Read moreand hike up the falls. We booked the trip at short notice with the help of Dan who was quick to respond to our queries. I will definitely recommend Buffalo Safari Camps to friends or family visiting Uganda.

Budget Safari to Murchison Falls
Rating:

Buffalo Safari Camps came highly recommended from friends who live in Uganda and used their services. Our experience was top notch from booking, to game drives, visiting the falls all the way thru our return to the airport in Entebbe. Our guide Emma was fun loving and helpful, he made everyone from my wife to out youngest son feel comfortable, safe and excited all at the same time. His knowled ... Read morege and flexibility made the trip an outstanding - once in a lifetime experience. If you have the opportunity - I highly recommend staying in the park. We stayed at Pakuba Lodge and our travel time was greatly reduced. Tim built an excellent literary for us that hit every highlight in the area in just 3 days. If your looking for a budget friendly family adventure with the feel of a private experience, Buffalo Safari Camps Budget Safari to Murchison Falls is a great choice.

Great experience, we saw loads of animals, but accommodation and food were very average and limited.

Overall I had a nice time and was able to see many of the animals which live in Uganda I thought that the range of activities were great and your guides were very knowledgeable. The campsites were very good and the fact that we did not have to carry tents made things much easier. However, there are a few points of issue which I would like to raise.

Firstly, we were only offered one small bottl ... Read moree of water throughout the entire trip which was not an issue when we were at the campsites, but was an issue during the long journeys. This became such an issue on the first day that after the walk up the waterfall - which was extremely hot and sweaty - one of my friends became ill with dehydration. One bottle of water was not enough to sustain us from 6am through to 7pm when we were served dinner and had access to a Jerry can.

Secondly, there was not enough food. The chefs made delicious food, but there was not enough - one girl in my group did not have lunch on the second day because there was not enough. On trips like this in a group of my size (which was 22), there should be more than enough food. Moreover, we were told on day one that we would not need any money for food as a packed breakfast and lunch would be provided. Instead, however, we stopped at a petrol station after 3 hours of driving and were told to pick up something from the shops. This would have been fine had we been told beforehand, but we were expecting a packed breakfast. Then, lunch was simply a wrap - delicious as it was, that and a banana was not enough to sustain us from midday to 7pm. I expected more in this packed lunch.

And finally, I have never been so frightened in a car before. Our driver drove ridiculously fast over potholes and puddles which was incredibly uncomfortable and nauseating. One of my friends was sick because of his driving. Furthermore, he would chase both animals and children to get them off the roads. This was unnecessary and frightening for us passengers. We would rather have gone slower and taken an hour longer to get to our destination than have to consider the prospect of our driver being imprisoned for manslaughter caused by reckless driving.

I hope that these comments will help you to improve your safari in future.

Amazing scenery and animals

Tim was so easy to work with and easy to communicate. We did a 4 day excursion including a rhino trek, chimpanzee trek, 2 game drives and 2 river cruises. Emma was our driver and guide. He was fantastic. We were able to find lots of animals (lions, giraffe, elephants, hippos, etc...). Absolutely zero stress for the whole trip. Emma took care of everything. Rhino and chimpanzee trek were spectacula ... Read morer to be that close to these amazing creatures. Lodging was such a relaxing part of trip. Amuka Lodge for one night and Bakers Lodge for 3. Bakers lodge was so, so nice. The staff were incredible. Right on the Nile, hippos just in front of our cabin in the water. The food was first rate. All in all a wonderful experience. Tim and his team do it Right!!!
