Amazing commitment to provide the most unforgettable experience in Uganda
First of all the company is very quick and professional answering all inquiries. I love the easines of being able to contact them through a chat on their webpage or just by writing a message to them on facebook.
They answered my inquiry just within hours and I could sense the dedication to make all our wishes possible for a four day safari. We were hoping that we could do Kazinga Channel cruise, gorilla and chimpanzee tracking, batwa visit and a game drive in Uganda, and finalizing the safari with a visit to the genocide memorial in Kigali, Rwanda within four days - many companies told us this is too much for that period of time but Kajie Safaris seemed to have a really good knowledge about the driving times and what is realistic and what is not. They gave us an itinerary with everyrhing we wanted and more - we were able to fit in a visit to lake Bunyiony with canoeing and all.
The company was also very open about the cost structure, and kept us up to date on accommodation reservation status and getting gorilla permits etc. Also the payment method they provide is reliable and secured. I felt comfortable doing business with them at all times.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and super nice - it was really nice to have him at the safari with us. If I go back, I will use Kajie Safaris again and would recommend them to any traveller. The accommodation they booked for us exceeded our expectations.
I felt that there is quite little variation in the prices after asking for a few quotes from different companies. Therefore price was not the driver in our decision making when we decided to pick Kajie Safaris - we chose them because of the can-do attitude, quick and professional communication and providing better visibility over the full booking process.
To wrap it up - We could have not hoped for a better service.

Passionate friendly people who do all they can to make sure you are happy
I emailed Kajie Safaris after finding them on safaribookings. At the time, i was not sure if i should book with a bigger international company that had more reviews on safaribookings or if i should book with Kajie who only had a few reviews, although Kajie was highly rated. After exchanging some emails with Ronald and seeing how flexible, responsive and friendly he was compared to the other tour operators i was dealing with, i chose Kajie. The price was better than the other operators i had contacted for the same exact tour/specifications and Ronald was more genuine than the others.
Initially we had booked the tour for three people.
The day before we were set to travel, a friend decided they would like to join our trip as well. I message Ronald on the night before we were traveling to ask if we could change the bookings to accommodate 4 people rather than 3, and he was so helpful and sorted everything out for us. I don't think you can get that sort of service from another company.
Ronald and Hamida took us around Uganda. They made sure they showed us every amazing view they knew about, all the best photo spots. They were very friendly, and the general feeling was that they were more like friends showing us their country, than just our tour guides. We were very comfortable with them.
You can tell they love what they do and they want you to experience the best they can offer. Even while there, if you decide you would like to change something in the tour they are happy to make it happen.
We had an amazing time. Thank you Ronald and Hamida!

Great tour guide and itinerary. Beautiful country and wildlife.
Ronald was a great tour guide for my week in Uganda. His communication and organization were first rate. The accommodation and food was also excellent, especially considering the remote location of some of the sites. If possible, I would time my arrival and departure from Entebbe and Kampala to try and avoid the traffic, which can be really bad. Great tour!
Kajie Safaris helped enhanced my travel experiences in Uganda
Ronnie helped to organise my safaris to Kidepo and Lake Mburo, gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park as well as site-seeing visits in Lake Bunyonyi and Kampala. Ronnie is an extremely friendly and sincere tour guide. When you talk to him, you feel that he is listening to you, which not only makes for good companionship on the long drives but also enables him to tailor the travel to suit your interests. This is key; he has the knowledge and the contacts to make your trip to Uganda a better experience. He does this in a way that is not stifling, or pressuring you in any way to go to certain places or do certain things. He just facilitates the discussion to find out what you want to get from your Uganda experience, and then does his best to make it happen. During the visit itself he is flexible, willing to adjust the programme to match changing expectations. He is also extremely patient. I never once saw him lose his temper or get flustered, even in some stressful driving situations, which has the effect of making you feel at ease and enables the whole experience to be more enjoyable. I therefore highly recommend Ronnie and his company to all travellers going to Uganda.

Great trip with a great guide
We had an amazing trip – all thanks to Ronald! Right from the start he was very helpful and flexible when we wanted to make some changes from the initial route that was proposed on the website. I think this really was the biggest advantage of booking the trip directly at a local guide instead of a travel agency in Europe: we had so much more flexibility on the dates, the routes and an extra day of rest in comparison to everything else we had been offered at the agency (for a much better price was well).
The booking process was very secure via credit card and was without any problems. Once we were there Ronald was a great guide indeed, always trying that his group got the best spot to see animals, that we were given the best room etc. Besides his great knowledge about the country and its animals, he was also very funny and it was a real pleasure to have this adventure with him on our side.
Thanks to him we really got to know the country and its people and had a great time throughout the whole trip!
10/10 – really fantastic trip with a really fantastic guy!

Kampala City Tour With Friendly, Knowledgeable Ronald
I did a 1 day Kampala city tour with Ronald and was very satisfied. Price was fair but moreover Ronald was friendly, knowledgeable, imformative and I felt safe at all times. He’s a true asset to this company and Uganda tourism as a whole.

Amazing
I actually travelled with Ronald twice during my trip to Uganda. My intention was to only do an ordinary safari (Queen Elizabeth), but after my first incredible experience, provided by the ever professional Ronald, I wanted to experience more. Ronald convinced me that seeing the gorillas was an opportunity I could not let slip me by, but seeing as my time and budget was fairly limited I thought that it couldn't be done. Ronald made it happen, by squeezing in tracking to only two days and by restricting the budget to match my resources. All in all I'm very satisfied with both my wild life experiences and believe that I got the best safari provider out there. So yes, I recommend Kajie safaris to anyone wanting to get the experience of a life time.

Would deffintely highly recommend to anyone
Very professional & very experienced!! We loved our tour guide Ronald's passion for his job, his knowledge about Uganda & on the game drives, we had lots of laughs & would recommend to any of our friends and family to book with him! Nothing was ever too much trouble if we needed something & he was always on point with keeping us very well hydrated. Our favorite part of our 3day trip was hiking Murchison falls...it was hard work..but worth it once your up the top as the views were breath taking...and once again Ronald was waiting for us up the top with cold bottles of water & always willing to take a photo for us too!! You won't regret going with this amazing company..you'll be very well looked after that's for sure!!
