He is a very respectfull and honest person and helps you solve all the problems you can have. A part from that he is a great person. I had a really great confortable and safe trip traveling with him. I really recomend him.

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!

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.

Every day was paradise!:)
Ronald went above and beyond to make us all safe and comfortable. He worked very hard every day of the 13 day safari and I recommend him to anyone that is planning a trip to Uganda. I told him as I do here again-every day is/was paradise on the Kajie Safari!:) it was crazy fun and beautiful! I wanted wild and rugged and it was!

Always prompt to respond to inquiries, wonderful, unforgettable and safe experience!
I have been to 10 African countries prior to coming to Uganda. Uganda has a unique charm. It is a gorgeous country with beautiful landscapes, beautiful parks, amazing animals and very friendly people. Ronald and Jowana were my guides. They should made the trip a pleasure. They were very familiar with all the different sites, parks, roads, animals and birds. It was great to have Ron driving as he is a very skillful driver conquering the African roads as smoothly as it was possible. Kajie Sadaris with Ronald and Jowana is a great to do a safari/gorilla trekking in Uganda. Highly recommended!

Best Guides and Experience
Our main guide Ronald, was always responsive to our emails and questions before our trip. This made us comfortable going with a company we knew nothing about other than reviews -which were all fabulous. He picked us up at 2:50am at the airport and was the perfect guide until he left our side 10 days later. He provided a great vehicle to travel in - equipped with water and snacks, and it was very comfortable. He brought along another guide, Jowana. They were great company, very informative, smart and attentive. Jowana is a bird expert and knows lots details about the country, culture and animals. Ronald is very articulate, smart and a great negotiator. He knows many people in each of the villages along the way and that made us feel very comfortable. He was very much in control and the people we met along the way respected him and did what he asked. There was a surprise at every turn. We hired him to take us to Kibale (chimps), Queen Elizabeth ( lions, buffalo, elephants, hippos) and Bwindi (gorillas). But along the way he offered to make little pit stops. We ended up dong some amazing things that we had no idea would be a part of our trip. We saw zebras at Lake Bhuro, went on a community walk and met lots of locals and went to a hot springs with medicinal powers. All this was part of what Ronald arranged for us. It was fabulous. Ronald and Jowana went above and beyond to make us feel safe and have the experience of a lifetime! We can't thank them enough and will be social media friends for life!

How to make a tour in Uganda unforgettable
Found Kajie on SafariBookings. It took almost 60 emails to arrange the 13 days safari and Ronald was really patient and always flexible in changing previous plans, since the first email to the last safari day. He cared for every little detail and you can feel his love and enthusiasm for the places you are going to visit. The safari at the end contained all the amazing things that made the tour unforgettable: looking for Big 5 in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth by car and boat, chimps in Kibale, gorillas in Bwindi, zebras in Lake Mburo, stunning views on Lake Bunyonyi, plus 2-day trekking on amazing Rwenzori Mountains and rafting on White Nile. Martin, the professional guide who took care of us, was such a friend: he suggested us little tricks to better appreciate what was going on and told us interesting stories about his country and culture. Also, food and accomodation was really beyond expectations, if you think that we had tried to be as cheap as possible on these subjects. People like these guys definitely need to grow in order to enrich Uganda!

13-days safari with Kajie Safaris in Uganda
The planning was really detailed and Ronald was really cooperating in the organization – also for the payment everything was clear and honest, even flexible because we had some extra free days to spend and they were available for driving us from and to the airport as needed. During the safari our guide was Martin, a good guy who was friendly and nice and helped us with some advice to be best prepared to the activities. Everything was well done: the car and boat safaris, the relaxing moments on the lakes shores, the car transfers always calibrated, and the lodges and the food. In one case we also had a free upgrade to a suite due to some workers making noise in front of the balcony! We also had some adrenaline activities: trekking on Rwenzori and rafting on the Nile.. it’s incredible how Uganda can surprise you with so many different things! Definitely recommended; with Kajie Safaris you can also make safaris in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda - we chose Uganda because it was our first time in Africa, but if we should come back in one of the other countries we would surely chose them again!

Amazing, incredible, marvelous Uganda…
We visited Uganda with the 11-day tour organized by Kajie Safaris in July 2018.
When we chose Kajie Safaris, the criteria were: price, reliability, positive feedback and lack of negative impressions among tourists, as well as quick answers to E-mail inquiries, flexibility in discussing the program.
Ronald Muvunyi worked with us. He met us at the airport and then accompanied him along the entire route both as a guide, as a driver, as an translator, and as a friend. He is a man with remarkable organizational skills, friendly, cheerful, with a fine sense of humor. We were very easy and interesting with him. We enjoyed our trip!
During the tour, we wanted to change the program a little. Ronald graciously helped to correct the route, rescheduled the hotels.
When traveling is organized by people who love and know their business - they are sure to succeed!
We were just fascinated by Uganda. The next visit to Africa will be planned only with Kajie Safaris!
We wish you all a pleasant journey and a vivid impressions,
Sergii and Lana.
