Excellent safari, one of the best experiences we had in Uganda
My wife and I did a 3-day safari of Murchison Falls NP with these folks. We have just the best memories of the entire trip. We could not be more satisfied.
Some of the highlights:
- The owner, Wilson, is friendly and directly reachable on the phone. I wanted to be extra-sure before committing to these folks. So I went and met Wilson at his home in Kampala and he immediately put me at ease.
- They own and rent out several modern, clean vehicles in very good condition, and run safaris all the time.
- Kassim, or driver, was a pleasure to interact with. He is young, very helpful and dedicated to his job. Further, he is observant, drives very well, and is a good conversationalist with lots of interesting tidbits.
- Further, probably because Kassim is such a pleasant person, he has a very good network with what we presume are other drivers and safari guides, because once we enter a park he switches into a different mode. He is actively working the phones, and you as a passenger just have to sit back and watch the amazing scenes unfold. For example: in Murchison Falls NP, we got to hang out with 12 lionesses and lion cubs for almost an hour, watching them as they ate and played. This was only one of many sightings during the day.
- The trip itself: we were very happy because Saso does not do the usual nickel-and-diming that is very prevalent in other economy safari companies, for example in Kenya.
- Itinerary: even though we made a few last-minute changes to the overall plan, Wilson and Kassim handled everything admirably and made sure we got where we wanted to go
- Arrangements for food: I don't know if this is standard across all their safaris, but the food arrangements were all uniformly excellent. Further, Kassim took note of our dietary preferences and only took us to places where we would get good options
All in all, a simply superb safari experience. If you're looking for a good safari company in Uganda, look no further!
Side note: something that caused me a bit of anxiety before the safari began was the fact that they have very few reviews! Unfounded anxiety, as it turned out. These guys are the real deal. Book them with your eyes closed, and rest assured.

Extremely wonderful 4days in Uganda
I know it is the right agency I want through the first email contact with Saso Uganda safari. Everything is perfect, the food, accommodation and the guide. My guide Ben is so knowledgable, he always knows exactly where the animals are. If Uganda is on your plan, definitely try Saso. It's a 20/10 company, I promise you will never regret your choice.

Fantastic helpful service minded tour operator with a superb guide!
We’re really happy with Saso Ugandan Safaris, they made our 18 day safari through Uganda better than we expected! Everything worked out perfect, the response to our mail before the trip was really quick, the payments were smooth and our whishes to change the travel plans were arranged in a second. Turkish Airlines had lost our luggage upon arrival but thanks to Saso, who picked the luggage up for us, we got it back whitin a few days-really serviceminded! Our guide Gerald was the best guide we ever had (and me and my husband travells quite a lot) fun, an excellent spotter with very good knowledge of the animals and the parks. The standard of the accommodation was better than we expected (tented camps) and the food was so good throughout all of our journey! We strongly recommend Saso as your tour operator on your Safari!

I had such a wonderful safari with Saso Uganda Safari.
Setting up the safari was very easy. My concerns about payment were put aside because the company was in constant contact with me though out the months I was planning my vacation. They picked me up exactly when they said with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Ours was 3 days, I honestly wish it was longer. I would call them again next time I come visit.

Fabulous Visit to Rwanda
This company knows how to organize a safari! Our guide, Wilson, was AMAZING! We spent five days with him and really loved his professionalism, personality, and stories and honestly just really enjoyed his company.
We were met at the airport in Kigali and transported to our hotel. Next day Wilson took us to Volcanoes National Park. We learned so much, visited the genocide museum it was really very exciting.
Every time we needed to go somewhere he was there and when we wanted a specific safari trek with the gorillas, he always got us in the right group. I am so happy to travel with Saso Uganda Safaris/Rwanda.
I highly recommend it.

Unforgettable Gorilla& Golden Monkey Tracking Trip in Rwanda
Saso Uganda safaris organized an excellent four-day trip to Rwanda for us.
At the airport we were meet by Kasim who drove us to our hotel in Kigali for an overnight stay. Kasim gave us a briefing of our itinerary for the next four days while still at the lodge.
Kasim, our guide-driver gave us a history of Rwanda and provided us with a detailed insight into the country. We visited the Genocide Museum in Kigali and had a Kigali City tour, and then we headed to Volcanoes National park to see the Gorillas and Golden Monkeys.
We had not known what to expect on our travels in Rwanda but we found that the people all very friendly. I cannot recommend the company highly enough if you wish to visit the country. We will certainly return to see what else the country has to offer.

12 Day Rwanda Uganda Best Tour
My husband and I did 12 Day Rwanda Uganda Best Tour ever at the end of March. It was a great experience. Our tour guide Wilson was very knowledgeable about the area, which always impresses me when we go on any kind of tour.
They always seem to educate their passengers extremely well on whatever the tour is about. It feels more personal to us this way. Our tour started off early in the morning, with the driver picking us up at our hotel.
They provided us with drinking water, accommodation and meals were excellent. All the locations were unique and amazing in color. The park is absolutely huge and we were only able to see a small fraction of it. Seeing the gorillas was just amazing.
The weather was perfect that day...only at some points during the day did it warm up. All in all, this tour was more than enjoyable.

15 days in Uganda
It was a great trip! We were a group of 4 people, in a comfortable van.
The visits generally did not felt rushed, providing opportunities not only to take pics, but to take a breather and relax.
From the beautiful scenes of Murchison Falls, to gorillas at Bwindi and most interesting, the tree climbing lions in Ishasha sector'.
It was great. I should further add that our tour guide Kasim made this trip much better than just a good trip. He deserves more credit.
