We had a very good safari with our guide Ronald, and experienced a lot of different things. It was all very exciting, and strongly recommend it!

Uganda's Best Guiding Company
Where do I start? We wanted to go with a local agency to avoid the rip-off that is paying an external agency a huge mark-up.
We chose Kajie for the reviews and they only exceeded expectations. We did a 9 day trip including 2 days of gorillas and chimps, QE national park, Murchison Falls, and Rhinos.
Firstly, Ronald, the founder of Kajie, was our tour guide. He is an exceptional human being and travel partner. My partner and I had such fun sharing the nine days with him and felt such a sadness leaving him behind. He is extremely bright, sharp-witted, superbly knowledgeable, an organisation machine, with a gigantic sense of humour and a big heart. From the first day we knew we had not made a mistake!
The tour itself was exceptional. Gorillas incredible (recommend more than one day) as was the area of Bwindi. Kajie organised exceptional accommodation (especially in Bwindi at Bweza and at Turaco Treetops, being the notable highlights). Chimps incredible. QE incredible. Murchison incredible.
Honestly there is nothing I can fault about this trip. It was a once in a lifetime experience and it was made all the better by sharing with such a great companion and guide.
Thank you so much to Kajie and Ronald for the passion toward guiding, nature, and conservation.
Vamos!

Kajie Safaris were phenomenal, outstanding, wonderful. The best!
I also picked Kajie Safaris - as others - on the back of reviews and was not disappointed. The experience was exceptional from my first email to Kajie Safaris to saying goodbye to Ronald, who was my tour guide and founder of the company, the tour was perfect. Ronald is so knowledgeable and proud of his beautiful country, which is only infectious. Book with Kajie Safaris and you will have a trip of a lifetime.
Ronald tailored my tour as I only had 4 nights and 5 days.
After a picturesque road journey from Entebbe we arrived at the amazing Bweza Gorilla Lodge, located at the edge of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. The service and accommodation were second to none. Judy, Gavis Alex and the team gave me a warm welcome and I was made to feel like a member of the family. The outside open fire at night was lovely. This place will always remain special to me.
In the morning I joined a trek to see the Gorillas, this was a magical experience. You are with a small group of people on the trek and spend a significant time with the Gorilla family.
Day 3 we drove again through spectacular scenery to the wonderful Elephant Hab Lodge, this is located on the periphery of Queen Elizabeth National Park and in the spectacular Kyambura Gorge. Another wonderful greeting from Barbara and her team with lovely accommodation, food and what a view of the park from the lodge.
We headed off late afternoon to Queen Elizabeth National Park and within an hour saw 2 lionesses, Uganda Kob, Elephants, Water Buffalo, Water Hogs.
The next morning I went on a Chimpanzee Trek and again not disappointed. My pictures say it all. In the afternoon I joined a boat cruise which is underestimated. You are so close to Hippos, Elephants, Crocodiles, Water Buffalo and amazing bird life.
The final day was the drive back to Entebbe. Ronald provided great pit stops throughout the tour for lunch or drinks.
I know this review is long but I can't stress how wonderful the tour was. Thank you Ronald....

A great 8 day safari in Uganda with Kajie Safaris
From the moment of our first email, we knew Ronald and Kajie Safaris was going to be our tour group! First off, Ronald was very responsive in the beginning, answered all questions and gave us suggestions of things to add on before/after the safari. (for example, white water rafting in Ginja, wow what a thrill!)
All of the selected accomodations were top notch, we didn't have to worry about checking in/out, meals, everything was ready and people were there to greet us at every place we arrived.
Our guide Azariah was amazing. He was on time to pick us up at the airport, on time for every early morning departure, and made sure we always had water and anything we needed. He was so knowledgeable in all places we went to, being a park ranger before he was a tour guide, he knew all the right people and the ins and outs of every place we visited! He always had an answer for our questions and we very much felt that he went above and beyond to make our experience a memorable one.
Ronald at Kajie, thank you for coordinating an amazing 8 day safari trip! and giving us Azariah as a guide! we have made a life long friend.

A Remarkable Uganda Adventure with Kajie Safaris
I recently embarked on a 7-day journey to Uganda with Kajie Safaris, and I can confidently say it was one of my best trips to Africa. My decision to choose Kajie was based on thorough research into local travel agencies, and it turned out to be the best decision I made for this adventure.
From my initial query to the moment I departed, the founder, Ronald, exhibited exceptional professionalism and a passion for providing an unforgettable experience. The meticulous planning started with numerous email exchanges to craft the perfect itinerary. Ronald's suggestions, backed by his extensive experience, proved invaluable, and I'm grateful for his insights.
What truly sets Kajie Safaris apart is the personal touch. Ronald was by my side from the moment I landed in Entebbe until my departure. His warmth, sense of humor, and deep knowledge about Uganda added a unique dimension to the trip. I felt like I was learning more from him during our travels than I could have from any online source.
What impressed me most was Ronald's flexibility. He seamlessly accommodated last-minute changes to my itinerary, providing me with the opportunity to explore more of Uganda. The accommodations he recommended were not only comfortable but also affordable, striking the perfect balance between quality and cost.
In just seven days, I fell in love with Uganda—a credit to Kajie Safaris' ability to showcase the country's beauty and diversity. Ronald's commitment to ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience has left an indelible mark on my memories. Without a doubt, when I return to Uganda, it will be with Kajie Safaris. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and memorable African adventure.

Amazing, incredible, fantastic, shall I say more?
Let me start by saying if you are considering booking with Kajie safaris, ask for Martin!! He was incredible and made it his mission to make it the best possible trip! I left just in awe of what we (my friend and I) were able to experience in 9 days. The trip was planned and executed perfectly, Ronald was amazing at helping us craft a perfect trip! I will be back and I will be requesting Martin! Take this as your sign to book the trip!

Amazing! ⭐
We did a 10-day safari with Kajie and it was truly amazing! 😍🦛
Our Road Trip: Murchinson Falls - Kibale Forest - Queen Elizabeth - Lake Mutanda - Lake Mburo 🚙🌴
Our driver "Uncle Bob" was a very good driver and also very good company! 😁 He makes sure you feel comfortable and that you have a good time! We managed to spot the Big Five on already on the first day! 🐆
Also no complains about any of the lodges where we stayed. Everywhere we went we got to meet a super friendly and hard working staff. 🙏🏼
Would definitely recommend! ⭐

The charm of Africa still virgin in the company of Kajie Safaris
My 6 days in Uganda followed by Kaje Safaris. In a short time, but full of strong emotions, I had a beautiful image of Uganda, thanks above all to the experience and professionalism of Kajie through my guide (now friend) Colly. From mountain gorillas, to the safari in Queen Elizabeth Park, up to the pursuit of chimpanzees and, finally, a river excursion which completed the observation of the big five. I was lucky enough, thanks to the experience of the guide, to see 4 big ones in a single day. Lions, hippos, African elephants (the largest in the world) and the very rare leopard. In addition to the fauna and the fabulous landscapes, I cannot help but say that the friendliness of the people and their gratitude touched my heart and I am already thinking of returning to Uganda as soon as possible.
To conclude, I would like to recommend Kajie Safaris for their professionalism, seriousness and preparation. They make sure you don't lack anything and satisfy every request. I couldn't have chosen better.

It is not often you meet something that exceeds your wildest expectations, but Kajie sure did.
Back in January 2023 my friend and I started planning to go to Uganda to visit the mountain gorillas of the misty Bwindi mountains. It had been the lifelong dream of my friend and I was not hard to talk into it. We did a lot of research on which company to use and settled on Kajie Safari after seeing what they offered compared to other companies. We got in contact with Ronald and since the first email we got to experience the immense hospitality and professionalism from Ronald and his crew. Every question we had, both big and small, was answered quickly and with great care and interest. That meant we had great faith in Kajie already before stepping onto Ugandan soil.
We arrived to Uganda in late January and there we first met Ronald who fetched us from the airport and was as friendly as we could have imagines. A day later we met our guide for the 10 day trip we settled for. From the get go we were so happy because Martin was the best possible guide we could have hoped for. Calm, great listener, great knowledge, great humour and with great people skills. We were a bit nervous before the trip since going around the country for 10 days with a stranger can be difficult but Martin made us feel so comfortable and after a few days it was as if we were three friends driving around. You could tell he was very senior and well connected making our trip even more exclusive while answering any questions we had about Uganda and it's culture and history. Martin always had our best interest at heart and found solutions and adventures that we didn't even know was on the menu. Kajie definitely delivers that little bit of extra, going above and beyond what we got read about in the pamphlet. We've been so lucky chosing Kajie and having Martin as our guide. All the lodges we stayed at were amazing and some of them had among the greatest of views which could trick you into just wanting to stay there a few more weeks.
We felt completely safe the whole trip and fell in love with the beautiful landscape and the hospitality of the people we met. It is a true testiment to Kajie Safari that I haven't even mentioned yet all the great amimal encounters we had on our trip. We saw everything we could have dreamed of and more. Close encounters with all big five and more. Relaxing evening drives, fun hikes that can be adapted to your level, exciting night drives, wonderfully breezy boat trips and early morning cat tracking. Meeting gorillas, elephants, lions, chimps and leopards. And when I say close I mean staring into the eyes of the most wonderful creatures and seeing their intelligence reflect back. This was an experience beyond all others and I would recommend anyone choosing Kajie for your Uganda adventure and ask for Martin as you guide. I am sure we will be back in the future. THANK YOU!
