Amazing trip with an exceptional Tour guide (Brian)!
My 5 day Gorilla and Chimp trekking trip with Kajie Safaris was excellent and very smooth. My tour guide Brian was constantly making sure I had everything I needed to have a great trip. He really went above and beyond anything I expected! It was just me and the guide and we spent many hours together in the van learning about Uganda and the history of the 5 kingdoms. He always knew where we were going, the best roads to take and seemed to know all of the park rangers and staff everywhere. I highly recommend Brian as your guide!
The only potential drawback on the whole trip, would be to confirm the vehicle you are travelling. While my trip was just me, the van we travelled worked great. However, if you are in a group (most likely) for safari comfort and visibility to the wildlife I suggest confirming the vehicle type.
On my trip I spent two nights at the Bweza Gorilla Lodge: highly recommend, very intimate location (only 6 rooms), very friendly staff, and excellent food. Not much of a bar selection, so maybe bring your own alcohol if interested. For QEP, I stayed at the Elephant HAB Lodge for 2 nights. Also, very comfortable, nice views, good pool (although with all the adventures, not really much time to swim).
Overall, I had a great experience dealing with Kajie Safaris. Ronald was very quick to respond to questions and modifying trip details as necessary. Definitely recommend using them to book your trip, but do be proactive about reaching out for any details as the trip date approaches.

Outstanding!
The four of us were met at Kigali airport by our guide Simon late at night after flying in from the UK. From that moment on, Simon steered us through some once in a lifetime experiences from iconic gorilla trekking in both Rwanda and Uganda, various safaris, a boat cruise, a chimpanzee expedition and to an assortment of well chosen hotels and lodges. At all times, Simon kept our best interests at the heart of the holiday, accommodating any requests that we made of him and tailoring the activities to suit our needs. He is calm, personable, extremely knowledgable and is clearly well known and respected by the people he works with at the various locations on our trip.
Altogether an amazing adventure which we would highly recommend. The gorilla treks were challenging but not to be missed - be sure to use the invaluable services of a local guide to support you as the terrain can be very steep and uneven. It’s not for the faint hearted!!!
Thank you Simon for your wisdom, friendship, skilful driving and your trusty van Precious - not the most glamorous vehicle but she was constantly reliable on the unpredictable African roads!

Kajie Safaris EXCEEDED our expectations
We booked this trip 3 years ago, just before COVID, and finally realized our dream adventure a few weeks ago. Ronald was always available to answer questions via email or WhatsApp. Simon was our brilliant guide/driver. I cannot say enough or give enough praise to Kajie Safaris for exceeding our expectations. Simon seemed to have an extra set of eyes…one on the road ahead and one scanning for animals and birds. His knowledge of nature is vast. His love and pride of beautiful Uganda is quite evident. We fell in love with Uganda too. We got to meet Ronald as he was with some clients whose tour intersected ours a couple of times. Ronald and Simon took care of so may little details and never hesitated to assist. We HIGHLY recommend Kajie Safaris

Ronald made it a trip of a lifetime
Kajie Safaris was absolutely the best. From day one, designing the trip with us to helping us with needed paperwork and packing lists to being there for us the day we arrived until the day we left. The accommodations were top notch. Loved the private villas with all the fabulous views. We throughly enjoyed the game drives seeing multiple species of antelope, baboons, monkeys, giraffes, elephants, zebra, water buffalo, lions and leopards. We did the rhino sanctuary and saw a rhino family. The chimpanzee trek was great. The gorilla trek was amazing and we were entertained by a baby for gorilla for an hour. Uganda food is organic and delicious. A special thanks to our guide, Ronald, who made this a trip of a lifetime. The price was more than reasonable and the service we got was unbelievably great.

Unforgettable experience with one-of-a-kind guide!
If you’re considering a safari, Uganda should be your top choice, and if you’re considering a guide in Uganda, Kajie should be your top choice!
We were lucky enough to have Ronald for 11 full days and we couldn’t have asked for a better companion on our adventure. He is so knowledgable, friendly, funny, welcoming, reliable, generous… overall an amazing guide that we now count as a friend.
Kajie offers great value for money for wonderful accommodations (we genuinely liked every single one of the 7 places we stayed), delicious food, amazing activities, and most importantly a fantastic knowledgeable guide who always goes the extra mile to make your experience special.
We saw everything we wanted to see (including rare animals with the help of Ronald’s very keen eye), and leave Uganda with many wonderful memories. It’s the best trip we’ve been on and we can’t wait to return (with Kajie of course).
Thank you Ronald and see you again soon ❤️

5 day tour in Uganda: Kampala, Bwindi and Jinja
Though the most normal would be for me to say that the best part of the trip was the actual encounter with the Gorillas at Bwindi I must admit that it was all the trip with Ronald. His friendly and humble behavior during the whole tour made me and my father enjoy our holiday to the limit. I normally do not write reviews online for anything but in this case and considering he was possibly the best tour guide I’ve ever encountered I am indebted to him. We covered tons of topics during our car rides, shared my music from Spain with his music from Uganda (Eddy Kenzo!) and eventually extended our tour around the country with him. Its a must to visit Uganda and hence to reach out to Ronald to enjoy it to the fullest.

Absolutely amazing experience.
We did about two weeks with Katie. Ronald put together our trip, and Simon was our guide. I have nothing but great things to say a bout the entire experience. Ronald was attentive and made great decisions with regards to stops and places to stay. As a guide, Simon was amazing. He was so attentive and has an amazing eye for spotting all kinds of great wildlife! He was so incredibly kind to our 10-year old daughter. He made sure there were lollipops in the backseat for her, and once when she complained that her feet were cold, he stopped and returned with a pair of socks for her! He was incredibly knowledgeable and really ensured that we learned a lot during our time. He was fantastic and accommodated special needs and figured out what our family members all enjoyed. I cannot recommend Kajie more. They will truly give you an Ugandan experience to remember forever.

Amazing honeymoon in Uganda
We chose to spend our honeymoon in Uganda and could not recommend this tour enough! From the beginning Ronald was friendly and attentive and well informed. He even bought us snacks and allowed us to pick our own meals, it really felt like we were travelling with a friend, which he soon became! The choices of lodge were beautiful and all in the most scenic settings I could imagine. We wanted to visit Lake Bunyonyi in addition and be dropped in Jinja, Ronald accommodated all of these requests with no hesitation or stress involved. The gorillas were a truly unforgettable experience but the wildlife was abundant everywhere and we really fell in love with Uganda. Thank you! Do not hesitate if considering this trip.
