We can highly recommend this tour operator
My husband and I made a 14 days-tour in Uganda operated by Mamaland Safaris and we can highly recommend this tour operator. Everything was perfect: from the communication in advance with Edrisa, to the planning, programm, car, lodges and food, ... Coming back to Uganda we would choose this company again.
One of the most important parts for this very positive experience was our guide Moses. He was always very friendly, very carful and reliable, and he always gave us a lot of interesting information. So we only can say thank you to the team of Mamaland Safaris and especially to Moses!

What an amazing experience!! Mamaland Safaris made our holiday unforgettable. The people, food, accomodation and tour was incredible. I could not fault it! Thank you so much to Edrisa for organising it all and to our tour guides when we arrived. I would recommend this company to anyone travelling to East Africa.

Perfect experience with Mamaland Safaris
We are very happy to choose Mamaland for our 9 days safari. We just arrived 2 days ago and we will never forget what we lived.Thank you for making this experience so easy and unforgettable. The communication before the safari was fast and perfect. Edrisa send us mails all the time with any info we needed and answer questions any time.
Charles, our guide. was so nice we will remember him forever. We feel as comfortable with him as he was traveling with one of our friends. He was respectful, funny and professional and he made our trip the best experience. Webale Charles!
Unforgettable Ziwa Rino sanctuary, Kabalega Park(Murchinson Falls National Park), Kazinga Park (Queen Elisabeth NP), the gorillas at Bwindi NP, The batwas , the people, the kids...
The lodges was very very good, and the food was super! We was afraid because we don’t eat meat, and everything was perfect!
We enjoyed Uganda to the maximum and we definitely will come back.
We absolutely will recommend Mamaland Safaris to all of our friends, they are just loving all our pictures and histories.
It’s because we think that to choose the correct safari company can make the same travel nice or the travel of your life.

Amazing Uganda for 1 week - The Pearl of Africa
In September 2018 my girlfriend and I travelled the second time to africa (after south africa three years before) with our main goal to visit the mountain gorillas in Uganda. From todays perspectice Mamaland Safari was the perfect provider, because they organized everything. Already the communication before our trip started was great and absolutely helpful to be well prepared for the safaris etc. Particularty to be mentioned is that we lost one our bags on the way there. Without Edrisa from Mamaland we wouldn't have got the bag back today probably. And a special thanks go to Enock (our personel guide for one week) for showing us the diversity of uganda. All together this trip was the most exciting, adventurous and impressive destination so far. The Mamaland-Team is mainly responsible for these unforgettable memories. A big thank you for your hospitality! Fabian and Berit from Germany

Mamaland Safari’s provided us a wonderful experience.
We are delighted that we chose Mamaland Safaris to guide our Uganda safari experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our safari through Lake Bunyonyi, Bwindi gorillas, Kibale chimpanzees, and Murchison Falls, as well as our cultural experiences with the Bakiga and Pigmy people.
Mamaland’s Edrisa was wonderful to work with as we fashioned our itinerary. The accommodations he recommended all suited us well and were staffed by friendly and helpful people. We especially enjoyed our stay at Bakiga Lodge in Bwindi National Forest.
Our driver-guide Paul was fabulous! He knew a lot about Ugandan culture and animals. Paul took great care of us, for examples facilitating our gorilla and chimpanzee trekking after a knee injury. He also taught us greetings and gratitudes in multiple local languages, which enriched our connections with the people we met. We enjoyed our conversations with Paul as we journeyed on safari, as well as our refreshing pineapple “stopovers”.
Mamaland Safari’s provided us a wonderful experience. When you’re planning a trip from 10,000 miles away, it’s important to have local expertise. We wanted to go with a Ugandan-owned tour operator and we’re happy we chose Mamaland. We’d go with them again and are already recommending them to our family and friends.

An adventure of a lifetime!
Mamaland Safaris was thourough ans speedy when communicating with me. They were wonderful to work with. The safari itself was incredible. Our guide, Obed, was so knowledgeable and he had an eagle eye for spotting the animals. My sons and I loved every minute of the trip.

A friend for life
I travelled to Uganda last september in order to supervise the construction of a school in a rural area and decided to take advantage of my stay in the country to go on a couple of safaris with my boyfriend. I am a very organized person, so, even though I didn't know the country at all, I decided to design my own safaris from home in Spain. First, I had to choose the company I would hire. Of course, I wanted a local company, so I checked some Ugandan websites and read some good reviews about Mamaland and Tony (he owns the company with his wife Anna). Without hesitation, I got in contact with them and they organized two safaris, just for the two of us, exactly the way I wanted, even though I was super specific about the fact that they should drop us in some rural village in the middle of nowhere.
Our first guide was Tony, "the bird-lover", who can always spot a lion sleeping on the grass, no matter how far he is. He's super patient and basically knows everything about both animals (particularly, birds) and Uganda by heart (although he also organizes safaris in other countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania or Congo). He's also the nicest person ever and really funny (or, at least, that's what he thinks [take that, Tony!]). Oh, and he has the best taste in music. So, if you travel with him, you'll surely have a great time. Besides, he's a really good guy. After our first safari, I had a slight problem. Going back to Kampala from the rural village where Tony had dropped us, the matatu (a minibus for around 14 people) driver decided to stop the vehicle somewhere in the city, tell us to get off and drive away with our suitcase. Don't suffer for us, my boyfriend immediately jumped on a boda-boda (motorbike-taxi) Tom-Cruise style and chased him until he got it back ("Oh, I hadn't realized, sorry!" OF COURSE NOT...). The thing is that we had no idea where we where or how to get back to Jinja, our final destination. So... WE WENT TO TONY'S HOUSE. Really, we just took another boda-boda and appeared at Tony's door like... "Hello, Tony. Um... WE NEED HELP". And he helped us. He took us to the centre of Kampala and showed us the way. So... I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL TO HIM FOR THAT.
Our second guide was Richard, "serenity man". Tony got sick on our first safari during our visit to the gorillas and has actually stayed sick for a really long time afterwards (sorry for that!), so he couldn't accompany us on our second safari. However, Richard did, and he was also great. Richard is sooo knowledgeable and sooo calm; he really makes you feel there is nothing in this world he doesn't know or have completely under control (even when flocks of tse-tse flies try to eat you alive). Also, if you travel with Richard, you will have the most amazing conversations, besides an amazing time.
That said, Tony has for sure become a friend who I know will be there for life, so... travel with Mamaland and enjoy The Pearl of Africa to the fullest! And if you want an additional reason, take this one: supporting Ugandan local businesses supports Uganda.

Wonderful holidays and breathtaking Safaris in Uganda with Mamalands Safaris
Communication per E-mail and service were quick and perfekt. All our expectation were full reached. We had an excellent guide and driver,
he has a great knowledge on Birds, Butterflys, spots all the animals around and can give details about their life. The service , fruit and water in the car, breaks to lunch and coffee time was always perfect.
The organisation of the whole trip was perfect and all the lodges and camps were a pleasure to stay in.
The Gorilla tracking and Chim tracking were a particularly beautiful experience.
From us 100% recommendation.
