Excellent safari operator
I did the Kidepo safari itinerary suggested by Saso Uganda Safaris, with the amendment of adding on a visit to a Ziwa rhino sanctuary. Saso Uganda safaris were excellent from the start.
Quick to respond, answered all my many questions. I imitated another reviewer here and paid the full balance of the safari in advance, as this felt safer than carrying a large amount of cash.
On the safari itself, their chosen driver/guide, Ahmed, was excellent - a safe driver and an informative and interesting travel companion. I would strongly recommend their Kidepo safari in particular - Kidepo was beautiful, worth the long drive. We got lucky and saw a lot of wildlife, including lions. Thanks Saso Uganda Safaris!!!!!!!

Trip of a lifetime!
From the first time I contacted Saso Uganda Safaris until the end of my trip with them, everything went incredibly smoothly.
I contacted many different tour operators when I decided to go to Uganda, and out of all the ones I contacted, Wilson was the quickest to respond, with the most specific cost and itinerary information.
He was flexible as I changed the trip around, and once we settled on an itinerary, all went quite smoothly. Vincent, our driver showed up right on time, and proceeded to navigate the roads of Uganda flawlessly through rain and shine and all in between.
He was quick to point out all wildlife and intriguing sights, and took care of us every step of the way with ease. The places that Saso picked for us to stay were fantastic, and a great match for who we were as travellers.
The activities were also well-selected, and adjusted for our taste, such as when we wanted to add trekking in the Kyambura gorge to see the Chimpanzees Would recommend them highly as a great choice, with very reasonable pricing.

Value for Money Experience in Uganda with Saso Uganda Safaris
In June, my wife and l with our children planned to make a trip to Africa, We all finalize that we should visit Uganda to such that we trek the mountain gorillas . We contacted several companies regarding our trip to Uganda but we selected Saso Uganda Safaris because their pricing was friendly and also the nature of their package setup was unique.
My family and I have just returned from a two week trip round southwestern Uganda. We visited Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Mburo and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Our driver/guide, Wilson, was a fount of knowledge, a superb driver and a real pleasure to be with for the whole of the trip.
We have come back keen to visit other parts of Uganda in the future and would definitely go to Saso Uganda safaris again. I highly recommend Saso Uganda Safaris to all those we love to travel in Uganda, Rwanda and Congo. I will recommend my friends too.

Rwanda and Uganda Tour
I did this 12 days Rwanda golden monkeys, Congo mountain gorillas, Bwindi gorilla trek, Queen and Kibale Safaris on February 12th, 2018, with Trek Gorilla Safaris.
Our driver and guide, Wilson, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, friendly with a great sense of humor, punctual and professional.
A lot of driving was involved but he helped to fill the long journeys with many interesting facts and historical information about the areas we were driving through. He kept the group interested and laughing with his stories and jokes. Mountain Gorillas were the highlight of our trip.
The golden monkeys in Rwanda were stunning. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi, though hectic, was really a good experience. This was a highly memorable trip where I checked off several items from my bucket list.
I recommend this Safari for anyone planning to visit Africa.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
