7-Day Gorilla, Chimpanzee and Wildlife Tour in Uganda
This was the first leg of a honeymoon trip to Africa and couldn't have been a better introduction! From the very start Ronald was an excellent tour organiser and helped us to customise the itinerary to suit our budget.
When we arrived we were delighted to have Ronald as our guide for the week, his passion for his country was infectious and his local knowledge really enhanced the trip. The journey was relaxed and we had plenty of options to take part in local tours.
The scenery in Uganda is incredible and the variety of wildlife was more than we expected. We took in safari in QENP, chipanzees in Kirala and Gorillas in Bwindi - all highly recommended!
All in all this trip was great value for money and exceeded expectations! Thank you Ronald!

Perfect Tour to Rwanda & Uganda
I reached out to Ronald of Kajie Safaris early 2019 to see if they would be able to set up a customized trip itinerary for me and my friend which would include multiple gorilla treks in various parks in both Rwanda & Uganda, chimp trekking and a couple safari days. We are both photographers and so our goals for a trip are very specific and require more planning than the average tourist.
From the start Ronald's communication was prompt, courteous and concise. He answered countless questions for the whole year leading up to our trip and was amazing at obtaining all necessary permits, booking accommodations and even domestic flights for us to reach Entebbe for our flight back to the US.
Kajie was one of the only companies I could find that was willing to tailor a package to guest requests and even during the trip several times Ronald went above and beyond to make last minute changes to our itinerary to make sure that our experience was the best one possible.
All of the local accommodations he chose were fabulous and the staff very friendly. He clearly had very good working relationships with these lodges and their staff and it made for a better stay for us. He also did a great job of navigating the selection process at the national parks when it came to assigning guests to gorilla groups and ensured that we were placed in appropriate hikes for our physical abilities and also that would allow us wonderful photographic opportunities.
The whole trip was wonderful and we enjoyed our time so much we are already looking forward to planning a return trip to Uganda with Kajie. Ronald was fabulous to work with and to be around for our 12 day tour and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to explore more of East Africa.

Best Trip EVER!!!
First a huge THANK YOU to Ronald and Kajie Safaris for making my dreams of Gorilla trekking in Rwanda and Uganda come to life! If I could rate them higher than a 5 star I would!
From the very start of planning this trip Ronald's willingness to help make our goals happen and enthusiasm was apparent. My Friend and I are both Photographers and we can be very specific in what we what to see, when and for how long. Ronald was able to customize our trip to a perfect balance of gorilla treks (four) ,chimpanzee trekking, community nature walks and safaris to accommodate everything we had hoped for. Even our last minute (about three weeks prior) addition of an extra gorilla trek day. Ronald even recommended we explore trekking at another park we had not even heard of which turned out to be our absolute favorite! Throughout the trip Ronald did everything possible to be sure we were happy with our safaris, lodging and transportation. He took care of it all for us and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend traveling with Kajie and Ronald to any photographer looking to experience Rwanda and Uganda.
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime, fabulous memories and I can't wait to start planning another adventure with Ronald and Kajie Safaris for 2022!!

Uganda Roadtrip 2020
If you’re looking for an excellent and reliable tour operator, look no further than Kajie Safaris!
Our trip to Uganda was cancelled twice this year due to COVID, but finally we managed to jump on a plane when Africa reopened it borders. Ronald constantly provided us with updates on the local situation, responded quickly to questions and was extremely helpful and flexible in setting up our Ugandan adventure.
We had the most amazing 10 day vacation. Not only did Ronald treat us like family but everything was perfectly organized according to the itinerary we wanted. Ronald is knowledgeable, kind, has a great sense of humor and quickly sorted out challenges, like arranging a last minute PCR test before flying home.
We have not only gathered incredible memories, but we left Uganda with a new friend and look forward to coming back again next year. We love Ronald and Kajie Safaris!

The Pearl of Africa together with the best tour guide ever!
One of the most beautiful vacations that we've ever had!
We booked a 10-day tour including gamedrives and boatrides at Murchinson Falls, Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo NP as well as chimpazee and gorilla trekking in Kibale and Bwindi forest and added also a boat ride at lake Bunyoni and a river rafting tour in Jinja.
Ronald is just the perfect guide - he has a broad knowledge about nature and wildlife, a lot of experience with international tourists and is such a lovely person to have around! He helped us to find all of the animals that we wished to see (even leopards and tree-climbing lions) and organised everything that we needed including a last-minute covid test. It was very hard to say goodbye in the end...
Uganda itself is indeed the Pearl of Africa and if we had had more time, we would have loved to stay for at least three or four weeks. So we'll definetely be back to go hiking in the Rwenzori Mountains and also see the Northern and Eastern part of the country.
Don't hesistate to book your tour with Kajie Safaris!

Truly Breathtaking 7-Day Trip!
Absolutely every element of my 7-day trip was incredibly amazing! I've been to some fantastic locations before, but this tops the list and Kajie Tours was the key piece in making it so successful. From the beginning when I was considering the safari to taking off at the end of the trip, they were always ready to fully answer my many questions, make suggestions for the best possible outcome, and ensure everything went smoothly (a particularly difficult goal during pandemic times).
Ronald, my guide, was perfect! He was a wealth of knowledge about everything in Uganda, including the history, current trends, wildlife, destinations, and more. I was solo on this trip, so having a great guide is even more important - truly a total professional and a pleasure to spend time with. He was always ready to be companionable during the trip and at destinations, but also let me have space to explore alone (or take a nap) when needed. Anytime I mentioned being interested in something, he made it came true - from finding a chameleon to trying a number of particular local foods/drinks. I couldn't have wished for a better guide.
Regarding the trip itself, we did chimp trekking in Kibale, gorilla trekking in Bwindi, and game drives/boat rides in Queen Elizabeth & Lake Mburo. Highly recommend trying to fit as many game drives in as possible, especially in the early morning and late evening. All the accommodations were wonderful (in the thick of nature) and the food was always great (and fresh!). It's worth it to get some freshly picked/roasted/brewed coffee and to try the fresh banana gin.
Wholeheartedly recommend the trip with Kajie Safaris to anyone thinking about visiting Uganda!!!

Amazing Safari Experience with Kajie
I just came back from a 16 days Safari tour in Uganda with the local tour operator Kajie Safaris
The communication with Ronald Muvunyi - managing director- was from the first day excellent. Ronald is easily accessible and flexible. The program was custom made and changes were possible where needed. The necessary COVID test were very well organized. Ronald gave good advice in time before the journey about all necessary paperwork and waited for me at the Airport. He was also very helpful during the whole process entering the country.
All the accommodations were were wisely chosen, comfortable, clean and had a nice atmosphere with excellent friendly staff.
Ronald has a wide network, connections, informations were exchanged easily.
During the tour we used a powerful vehicle with open roof to get the best view during the game drive. Unavoidable engine problems were solved quickly and without negative effect on the program.
The food was tasteful, clean everywhere and personal dietary wishes were taken into account.
Ronald is an enthousiast service oriented professional driver, guide , friendly and has a huge knowledge about his land, the wildlife, customs, history. That makes him a pleasant travel companion.
I recommend to visit Uganda to every nature lovers , as it really deserves it’s name : The Pearl of Afrika

First Class experience
We had an amazing trip with Ronald at Kajie safaris. Lodges were beautiful, the chimp trekking and game drives were fantastic but the highlight was by far the gorilla trekking experience. I would highly recommend them and will be sure to use them again in the future
