The Ugandan Safari that Mamaland Safaris provided was one I will always remember
Thanks to Mamaland Safaris we had a terrific holiday.
Together with the owner we set out a ideal trip for us to see as much as we could in the limited time that we had. Every stop we had was better and even more beautiful than the last. The wildlife is always an unknown variable, but thanks to the expertise of our guide we managed to see almost every animal we wanted to see. The guide, Michael Lutembe, can be considered an expert in wildlife as well as a cultural guide. The information he could provide was an overload and information that one can not normally find in the tourist guide books.
Thanks again Mamaland for the unforgettable holiday and we are proud to have made new friends in the process. We hope to see you again soon.

A trip with Mamaland Safari is a perfect way to experience Uganda!
Mamaland Safari is a great company easy to communicate with and very service minded. Both the management and the guides are professional and experienced! For a good price I did an amazing three day trip from Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to see the mountain gorillas. Everything was very well arranged:
-The travelling, safe drive by car.
- Accommodation, very nice and cosy lodges.
- Food, tasty and chiefs being very flexible and taken into account various food preferences (I’m a vegetarian and I don’t eat wheat).
- The meeting with the gorillas in the jungle, it was simply amazing!
I definitely recommend others to go on trips with Mamaland Safari

Unforgettable trip to Uganda
Uganda is a great destination which not too many people know of. The varity of views and wildlife is incredible.
But what makes it so unique for us and made this trip so enjoyable is the way Ugandan welcome visitors, always with a smile and kind attitude. And this is exactly what made our experience with Mamaland Safaries so great. Because like all Ugandans, the team members of Mamaland became our friends in no time. Is there any better way to travel than with a local friend??
Blew me away
Tony stayed with my school-based service trip for three weeks, from Kampala to Kisoro, back through Queen Elizabeth and Murchison to Ziwa. We had set up the itinerary well in advance, and the only question mark in our trip was where we would stop at Queen Elizabeth. We wound our way through the banana trees and scrub to his truly remarkable guest house. My students' jaws dropped. It is really hard to compete with the beauty of Kisoro, but Pumba Lodge did it. Imagine half a dozen American teenagers glued to the infinite view to the horizon. It was breathtaking.

Amazing People and Amazing Sights
Mamaland Safaris is run by an amazing group of people. Tony was so friendly and really made the trip fun. Not only was he knowledgable about all the wildlife and everything around Uganda but he was personable as well! My group and I were able to see amazing wildlife and experience an amazing culture. Hopefully I'll be going back to Uganda in a year or so and I am excited to see Tony and the others again! Truly great people!

Watkinson School's Service Learning Trip
From the moment I contacted Mamaland Safaris from the United States months before my school's trip to Uganda, Mamaland and Tony in particular, were incredibly helpful. Throughout our journey from Kampala to Kisoro where we worked in several schools, to Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls National Parks, the service went far beyond merely driving us to destinations. Tony helped explain the history, culture and society to our group of teenage students. With humor and a beyond encyclopedic knowledge of the birds and wildlife, we fell in love with Uganda's people and wildlife!
Add in some magical moments and surprises like the Pumba Safari Cottages overlooking Queen Elizabeth National Park, it was a transformative experience for me and my students that would not have been possible without Mamaland's personal touches. Logistically, the planning was smooth and clear. My school was more than satisfied with the arrangements. And the problem solving around the minor change of plans we made mid-journey were all handled well.
I cannot recommend Mamaland Safaris more! We will be back in March 2015 with Mamaland leading they way!
Absolutely amazing and the only group to use.
Everything went flawlessly and if there was a change in plans they were flexible. I highly recomend this group. They are extremely friendly and talk to you about Uganda and hands down are the only way to travel around beautiful Uganda.

The best planned journey I have ever exterienced
We were an extended family of six people and all of us were experienced travellers. I was responsible for the booking and to my great relief everyone was extremely satisfied. We planned the safari in close contact with our guide Tony and he managed to fit all we wanted to do into the two weeks we booked. Tony was an excellent guide, great fun and very well organised. His knowledge of animal, especially birds, was fantastic and he could always answer our questions. The accomodation was superbly situated, the food was good and the gorillas, elephants, giraffes, lions, rhinos, hippos, leopards, monkeys, buffaloes, chimps etc were exactly where we were!
Incredible discover Uganda. Birding, gorillas and much more...
We are a couple from Spain and the last year we made a safari with Mamaland Safaris. All the travel was amazing! The guide, Tony, was incredible in birding! The places for sleep were confortable, and all the people from the company was very friendly.
