An amazing 7 days to see Gorillas and chimps in Uganda
We were unsure what to expect from Uganda – having arrived from Kenya where we visited the Masai Mara, which was a lot of fun! However, the 7-day safari Uzuri Uganda Safaris ably arranged for me and my wife far exceeded our expectations. Uzuri Uganda delivered a fantastic itinerary which combined gorillas and chimpanzees in Bwindi and Kibale. The accommodations were fantastic even on a mid-level budget and the Land-cruiser was comfortable, clean and had AC. From the moment I stepped off the plane in Uganda where the driver was already waiting for us to my departing flight, I was treated as a priority with this company and could not have asked for a more well organized and meticulously planned out adventure that included everything I requested at reasonable price. Our driver Joachim is an expert driver, was always on time, gave us good advice and he spoke excellent English. He made us feel comfortable and he was a good conversationalist during the long drives! My personal advice to any prospective Uganda visitor would be not to waste time, just contact Uzuri Uganda Safaris and Edris and his team will custom- build the best itinerary according to your needs.

Unique and life changing trip definitely above expectations !
From the very start communicating with Edris via email was easy and reliable. He answered promptly and was very professional, a real testament to the quality of the service at Uzuri Uganda Safaris. We received a detailed itinerary of our trip.
We had very little time, only one week, but the tour was diverse and packed with great activities (game drive, chimpanzee trekking and rafting among others) that made it a lot of fun.
Starting in Kampala we stayed 2 days in Jinja and then headed Murchisson Falls for 3 days. Short but definitely worthwhile thanks to Edris' skillful planning. The choice of lodges was great and the food (all included) was absolutely delicious ! We particularly enjoyed Murchisson River Lodge. In short, everything was perfectly organized, comfortable and very safe.
Our guide Vincent was fantastic, always attentive and a lot of fun, he made sure our trip was memorable !
I definitely recommend Uzuri Uganda Safaris. They made our first experience in Uganda amazing... We will be back !

Amazing tour with an amazing guide
Everything was totally perfect and well-prepared. The guide, called Vincent, picked us up at the hostel. He is amazing, really funny and he is really good at his job.
The tour was even above our expectations. We were not disappointed.
People that we met were nice and friendly, the choice of hotels was great, the car was great and the food was awesome.
Thank you for this amazing trip.
I will definitely recommend your company.

Everything about our Ugandan trip was well planned, coordinated, and executed by Uzuri Safaris!
The timeliness of our responses from Edris were perfect. Everything was covered an inclusive including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our travel to and from each location from the Airport to our trips tracking animals and the Safari were all taken care of prior to us ever landing in country. The ease of transition from one location to the next allowed for my travel partner and I to thoroughly relax and enjoy our week long vacation. Our tour guide was name Joachim and I recommend him to anyone that plans to utilize Uzuri Uganda Safaris for their future travel plans. Amazing trip, excellent food, safe, fun, and friendly environment and culture as a whole.

Fantastic experience and tour operator - everything you want from a tour in Uganda! Loved it!
From the start the communication was always excellent: quick responses with clear answers. It was exceptionally easy to plan with Edris via email, who never failed to answer every inquiry completely. We outlined what we wanted, which was to have everything planned and taken care of and paid for in advance (lodging, food, transportation, activities) and we were not disappointed! The lodging at all hotels was great. My favorite was the cabin that opened up on the Nile in Murchison Falls National Park - I will never forget the playful vervet monkeys on the tree outside and the hippos just steps away in the Nile. Amazing! The tours were incredible - we saw rhinos, chimpanzees, baboons, monkeys, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, antelope, warthogs, many birds, and even a leopard. The game drive was a moving feast for the eyes and by far my favorite day. The activities were filled with everything you'd want: ATVs, river cruises, tracking in the forest, hiking to the top of a waterfall, and shopping for souvenirs. What a wonderful experience, I was sad to leave and look forward to returning in the future!

Best time of my life!!!!
Ive always wanted to travel to Africa and what better place to go to than the "Pearl of Africa"!!! Uganda is absolutely beautiful and on my "will always go back" list. While getting to see this beautiful country, Uzuri Safaris took myself and a great friend to many great places. this was the first time I traveled on my own to another country and was nervous but with our tour guides smile and kindness, It was quickly apparent to me that we were in great hands. Joachim was an amazing tour guide that knew plenty about Uganda, its beauty, and its overall history when we asked. During our trip we visited and stayed at many places. Starting with the beautiful Murchison River Lodge, this place was amazing. At night we could hear the Hippo's, the quietness of the forest and it was very peaceful. on the final night locals visited the lodge and we sang and danced together till we couldn't dance anymore. we went on a game drive and saw the Giraffes, elephants, lions and so many more animals. took a boat cruise and traveled to Murchison Falls, after the hike to the top it was great to feel the water from the falls splashing on my face. we also traveled to Jinja to water raft on the Nile. this was my first time and the best time of my life. Joachim was with us every step of the way and provide his expertise. Joachim would tell us about the culture of his beautiful homeland and natives. he taught us about the day to day life of the average Uganda and it was beautiful to see the respect that was displayed by everyone to everyone. when I get the opportunity to travel Uganda will deff be on my list and Uzuri safaris will be my go to guide to show me more of the pearl of Africa.

The most beautiful roadtrip with the kindest service; seeing the most beautiful animals in the world
The Safari was fantastic! The communication was 100% on point. We knew what we were doing, when we were supposed to do it. The living accommodations were beautiful! The first resort we stayed at was right off the Nile, you could hear the hippos and other animals; very peaceful. The last hotel in Kampala before going home was extraordinary, better than anything I could have ever expected. The local food is fantastic, we picked some up along the way and we couldn't have been happier. The safari was fantastic. We saw elephants, giraffes, lions and even a leopard. I would suggest bringing some binoculars for the far away animals such as the leopard because you have to stay on the road with the vehicle, but a game warden joins the tour and they are extremely knowledgeable. We saw way more animals but without going to in depth, it was like I was in a national geographic episode. This has been the best experience of my life and I highly recommend you book through Uzuri.
