Great Safari !
We did the 15 days Magic of Nature Tour and enjoyed every minute of it!
As my husband and myself were travelling alone (no group) in the good company of our driver/guide Paul, there still was some possibility to sometimes personalize the program, which was great.
We have seen the big five (!), chimps, gorilla's in Bwindi and Rhino's in Ziwa Sanctuary.
It was an amazing trip, reliable driver (thank you for everything Paul), solid jeep.
Also very good communication with Tony, owner of the company, as far as planning of the trip etc is concerned.
I would definitely recommend Mamaland Safaris for an unforgettable holiday in Uganda !

An unforgettable stay
Like a home away from home. Amazing staff, delicious food, comfortable rooms, and an breathtaking view of the savanna within feet of the cottages.

Fantastic experience, well organised timings and excellent hospitality.
Had a great time on this safari trip with Paul my guide. Was collected from my Kampala hotel early in the morning and began the long trip heading towards the equator point and eventually Bwindi National Park, stayed at a fantastic lodge overnight and was refreshed and ready for the Gorilla tracking adventure the next morning. What a fantastic experience to see these magnificent creatures up close and in their natural habitat. This was followed by a trip to QENP where all manner of animals can be seen including three tree lions expertly spotted by Paul. Stayed over at Pumba cottages that night, stunning views across the QENP! The following morning was a thrilling but exhausting chimpanzee tracking adventure in the forest before the trip back to Entebbe as I had a flight to catch.
Overall and fantastic experience meeting some amazing people on the way who went the extra mile to make me feel welcome. Many thanks to Tony and Paul (epic driving!). Highly recommended.

10 days Gorilla, Chimp and Safari
I had an absolutely fantastic time with Mamaland Safaris. I completed a tour of Uganda where I saw chimpanzees, gorillas and many other animals in several different national parks. The service provided was brilliant, all accomodation was top notch and my guide was helpful and informative throughout. If you are thinking of a trip to Uganda, I would thoroughly recommend using these guys. Thank you Mamaland!

A personal, individually tailored Tour with a great guide.
The standard packages which Mamaland Safaris provides are full with interesting stops and nice lodges to stay. We booked "Magic of Nature" and Mamaland adjusted the Tour to our wishes, which was great and very uncomplicated. The communication was very good and they provided us with all Information we needed in advance. The Tour itself was amazing, full of very interesting places and our guide had a huge knowledge and could answer almost all our thousands of question about life in Uganda and nature.

Amazing honeymoon - Uganda Tanzania - 3 weeks private tour
Contacted Tony from Mamaland after a positive reference from my brother and reading only but positive reviews about them online .. and yeah they're amazing , they gave us the honeymoon we've dreamed of !!
Honestly, looking back now, we would do exactly the same honeymoon: same company, same route, same accomodations, ... not change a thing ! That says it all, no?
Tony is a fantastic, warm, friendly, flexible and passionate tour-guide, bird-lover and football-addict with an astonishing knowledge of nature and culture, not only from the countries they offer tours for, but also from many other countries in the world !
The contact through mail went very fluent. Tony proposed a route based on our interests and available days and we were able to adapt both the route as the accomodations, based on things we've read online and from other tours.
Of course, Tanzania (Ngorongoro and Serengeti) has amazing NP's, unique in their type and is a must see! But Uganda as a country has suprised us very positively as well, especially the people's hospitality and the variation of activities and sights throughout the country (rafting on the Nile, seeing the big 5 in Murchison Falls, doing walks with birds and monkeys in the crater area, seeing the gorilla's in Bwini, etc etc). Yep, a true undiscovered pearl!
Thank you Tony for organising it all and thank you Charles and Hussain for guiding us around !
Cheers,
Joachim and Loes

We had a guide who really knew everything about the nature AND culture of Uganda. Very appreciated
We got a full and proper information about the safari both before and during the trip. Everything went smooth taking account to our six grandchildren we brought (8-15 years) and their parents.
We believe we got as much as possible out of the safari.

I will be back!
Have had such nice experience during last years safari celebrating my birthday! It was a private tour for four people. South west Uganda, Lk Mburo, Bushara island, Gorilla trekking, QENP, Murchison falls and some more. Had a first smaller safari with a group of 15 people in 2011 combining Uganda Tanzania, so this will be third time returning. Am right now planning a trip late december 2017 with my teenage kids and mother. Really looking forward to it and can warmly recommend Mamaland Safaris!

Perfect 2-week private safari tour through Uganda!
We (couple, 31 and 35 years old) did a 2-week safari through Uganda with Mamaland Safaris. We started from Entebbe and spent the first day at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, drove all the way up to the northern Kidepo Valley National Park and went on to Murchison Falls National Park, did the Chimp Habituation in Kibale Forrest, visited Queen Elizabeth National Park and the Ishasha Plains and finally went on the Gorilla Habituation in Bwindi Forrest before going back to Entebbe.
The tour was perfectly organized and I would do it again the same way. Approximately three months prior our vacation, we contacted Anna from Mamaland Safaris who responded immediately and set up a great schedule containing all the things we wanted to see and do. She was very flexible in changing accommodations and routings at our request. She also sent us copies of the (highly expensive) Gorilla permits in advance. We always had a very good feeling concerning this tour operator.
Upon arrival, we spent one night in a guesthouse in Entebbe and were welcomed by our wonderful and passionate tour guide Moses the next morning. He took an amazingly great care of us during the whole tour and shared his incredible knowledge about the country and its wildlife. Due to our routing, we had some very long drives, but always felt really save in our car (4X4 with pop-up roof) and enjoyed even the bumpy and dusty roads. All lodges and guesthouses were booked and we did not experience any problems there. Also, all activities (game drives, spotlight night drives, boat safaris, chimp habituation and gorilla habituation) went per our itinerary. During our tour, we learned a lot about the country's culture and people and enjoyed the excellent hospitality everywhere. We were also really impressed by the variety of Uganda's landscapes and wildlife and had numerous unforgettable and very close encounters with the animals. It was really one highlight chasing the other!
Mamaland Safaris is an excellent tour operator. I strongly recommend them and would definitely go on a tour with them again!
