Unforgettable experience
We booked a weeklong tour in Uganda, including Safaris and Gorilla trekking. The communication was easy and everything was set up as discussed. Our guide was very nice, open and an excellent driver and animal spotter. He organized everything perfectly during our trip and managed to make some changes when it was raining without any problems. Furthermore he explained a lot about country and the animals. We saw lions, a leopards, elephants, giraffes etc and of course the Gorillas. The lodges we stayed in were also really nice and comfortable.

Great safari to Kidepo and Murchison with Uzuri Safaris
We had a wonderful 11-day Uganda safari with Uzuri, to Kidepo and Murchison Falls with some additional activities.
Edris who runs the company was very easy to communicate with and offered great advise for how we should tailor our trip. He stayed in touch with us throughout our safari to make sure everything was good.
Our guide was Sam Wako and he was excellent. A super pleasant person to spend time with (and you do spend a lot of time with your guide), very knowledgeable about the country and wildlife, a very keen sense for what we were interested in, a good planner and very punctual, great at spotting game. We've been on quite a few safaris in different countries and have fairly broad experience from safari guides and Sam is top notch.

Comprehensive Uganda Experience With a Superb Guide
We were privileged to to have Joachim as our driver and guide for the seven day tour of Uganda. He was knowledable, personable and a careful steward in driving on the roads and in the parks. He is well versed in mammals and birds, along with the past and current history of his remarkable country. He was attentive to our health and safety, and adept at finding the animals we sought. He was a pleasant breakfast and dinner companion, and genuinely nice man. We enjoyed and benefited from all aspects of the itinerary and appreciated the diversity of landscapes and the fact that different animal poulations were situated in different parks. We were fortunate to have participated in game "drives" in the company 4x4 (comfortable and capable), a boat tour, and several walking experiences (notably chimpanzees, mountain gorillas and a close encounter with a tower of giraffes). Arranging the trip with Edris was easy. The materials were clear and illustrative, the arrangements as we arrived and departed clearly articulated and accomlished with a smile by Joachim, and the accomodations - a delightful variety - exemplary. I highly recommend this team and this trip. Thanks!

The tour operator was very professional and attentive to our requests. Amazing organizers!
The tour was incredibly well organized , maximizing each day to the fullest. They also ensured we could see as many experiences as possible, despite the long distances to reach the diverse natural attractions. The package was very convenient and we feel we saw so much in such short time span

Amazing trip to meet gorillas
y husband has planned an amazing surprise trip with Uzuri Uganda Safaris for our 20th wedding anniversary.
Everything was just perfect: from the airport pick-up to the amazing Bisate lodge or Mount Gahinga Lodge, not forgetting to mention the very comfy huge car for the 2 of us and finally the cherry on the cake: the gorilla encounter.
I had always dreamt to meet those huge apes and I couldn't have expected anything better than what Edris has organized for us.
I can only recommend Uzuri for your trip in Rwanda and Uganda.
Thanks Edris for the organization and Johachim for driving us during those 4 days!

Amazing Safari Experience
We (2 females) went to Uganda for two weeks: Murchison, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi, Lake Bunyonyi, and Lake Mburo. We saw way more than we expected to see which I attribute to our amazing guide, Joachim. Setting up the safari was very easy with Edris. He was very willing to make adjustments and tailor it to our interests in the planning phase. Edris was always very quick about returning emails. Our guide, Joachim, was really amazing. He is very knowledgeable about the animals and plant life, he has an amazing eye for the animals, he has a great network of fellow guides, and will go above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience you can. I highly recommend this company to others and would use them again.

Fantastic country and fantastic guide
We did a private tour for 2 people for 11 days around Uganda.
From the beginning, Edris' preparation of the itinerary was excellent. He listened to our needs, explained everything in detail and sent us a very complete guide of what we should bring (very useful, we recommend following it and not forgetting anything on the list).
Once there, we were picked up by Joachim, our guide and driver, who accompanied us until the end of the trip. The treatment with him has been unbeatable: he has made sure that we saw as much fauna as possible in a respectful way, that we had the best places in the group activities, that the trackings were adapted as much as possible to our needs and of course he has given us information about the fauna, flora and culture of the country.
We have not had any unforeseen events during the itinerary, but we had full confidence that if we did, Joachim would take care of it efficiently. He has shown to have a very extensive knowledge of all the places we have visited and a super professional attitude, asking us for feedback so that we can fully enjoy the trip.
Regarding the tour itself, our expectations have been more than met, we have been lucky to see almost 100% of the fauna we expected, Uganda is a beautiful country.
We were recommended by some friends and now we are the ones who recommend Uzuri without a doubt.

Available, supportive, fully transparent!
Did a fantastic couple 4 days trip in Uganda with 1 day gorilla trekking in Bwindi, 1 day of cultural walk and, and stop and gos in Entebbe.
We chose Uzuri Uganda Safari for our trip and got the best possible service from Edris, who detailed our itinerary taking great care, Joachim, who guided us on the ground in Bwindi and surrounding areas, and Lovy, who picked us in Entebbe.
The team was always available and flexible to our asks, supported us with our followups very timely via WhatsApp and calls, and was always on time… making our experience in Uganda smooth and even more special!
Thanks Edris, Joachim and Lovy!
