Exceptional 7 Day Trip Through Rwanda and Uganda with Kajie Safaris
I had the pleasure of working with Ronald at Kajie Safari to organize and operate my 7 day trip through Rwanda and Uganda in February 2023.
I was looking for a tour operator that could incorporate both the Gorilla Tracking in Rwanda and the Gorilla Tracking in Uganda and found that Kajie Safari could accommodate my request within the time frame I was looking at. Ronald was highly responsive, accomodating and transparent about the chances of getting permits and crafting an itinerary based on my specific preferences. For example, I had asked if it was possible to start and end the tour at the hotels I had booked in Kigali and Entebbe respectively. Ronald assured me that this was possible and when I got on the ground in Rwanda and Uganda, it was only then that I realized how far out of the way my hotels were for Ronald yet he still accommodated my requests anyways. I was absolutely grateful that Ronald agreed to this as he made my travel plans so much easier.
As a tour operator, I observed how Ronald and Kajie Safari are deeply connected in the Uganda tourist industry. Ronald knew all of the other tour operators, the lodging and hotel staff, and national park rangers. When we were on our game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Ronald was able to work with other tour operators and national park rangers to locate the big game within the park and drive to the spots to ensure that I was able to view the big game. Ronald has strong ties with the hotel and lodging staff which made staying at the local accommodations feel that much homier.
I feel like being this deeply connected within the industry is an important consideration when selecting the right tour operator because when you are abroad, you want to make sure that someone who is receiving you on the other end knows the community well and can help guide you and provide the best experiences possible.
Ronald’s knowledge of the scenic back roads in Uganda was truly amazing. He would maneuver through off road conditions with ease, drive through roads that were not shown on Google maps, and still get to our next destination on time all while showcasing the beauty of Uganda’s natural landscape. It would have been easier to take the main road to our next destination, but Ronald believed that driving through these scenic back roads was part of providing the best and most authentic experiences possible and he was not wrong!
If you are looking for a tour operator that will show you the main attractions and the hidden gems of Uganda, I would highly recommend you book with Kajie Safari. If you are looking for an authentic tour operator who is deeply entrenched in the Uganda tourist industry, I would highly recommend you book with Kajie Safari. Ronald and Kajie Safari will show you the best of Uganda and Rwanda in a one of a kind experience you will have lasting memories of.

Gorilla Safari was the trip of a lifetime. We loved our guide Ronald
What an amazing trip. All our dreams of seeing gorillas in the wild and lions and leopards and elephants and hippos came true. Ronald was an excellent guide. We had our own private safari, which was perfect. The accommodations were great.
One of our favorite parts was visiting a village in the mountains and interacting with the women, the Botwa (AKA Pygmies) and the orphans. I highly recommend this safari. The price is amazing. The Guide is so personable and caring. You won't regret booking the Safari.
Uganda discovered with Kaije Safaris
Everything was great: organisation, contact, price, the tour and the driver and guide Bob. New discoveries, animals in free beautiful nature and really a good spirit on all sides. Very pleasant and a new world for us. Thanks for that chance and experience!

Engaging, Enthusiatic,Funny, patient, good communicator, organized and sensitive tour operator...
Ronald's sense of humour and knowledge about almost everything that the team asked about during the safari. On good friday my friends and i set off from Ntinda a kampala suburb enroute Kidepo National park in the northeast part of Uganda, barely an hour onto the trip, Ronal whispers into my ears that "Florah you are soon tasting the best roasted chicken in this republic" oh boy we get to Namawojjolo and the chicken is finger licking of you cant compare it with the famous KFC chicken, we proceed towards the east part of the country.
Ronald is kind enough to describe the major scenery we come across like the famous largest forest Mabira, the old and new bridge at the river nile in Jinja, the ever green vegetation as we approach river Mpologoma, this rings a bell, reminds me of my high school geography lessons. he described the formation of the Wanale ranges and for once in a lifetime i missed school.
At exact 3:00pm we arrive at sipi town ready to hike the 3 Sipi falls sites, the joy that fill my heart is an equivalent of a little baby upon seeing their mom's breast. One would wonder why the place was filled with laughter and giggles only to be later informed that these people get excited upon seeing Ronald whatever it is God knows. fast forward my friends and i get to enjoy and experience the magical Sipi falls and spend the night.
I will be back tomorrow with review about Day 2 of this safari

Wonderful itinerary and incredible experience!
We just returned from an 11 day trip through Uganda for my family of 6, including our 4 children. It was AMAZING! I was concerned how our younger children would do on such a long trip (my youngest is 9), but we all loved every second. Each stop on the trip brought another adventure we were excited to have.
Ronald was very responsive while preparing for the trip. I had many questions, but he always responded to my emails and was patient while we made plans.
Highlights: The gorilla trekking was incredible. The permits are expensive, so we were hesitant if it would be worth it, but for most of us it was our favorite experience. My younger children loved river rafting in Jinja the most. And we all enjoyed the game drives. My favorite part was not having to worry about any of the details! Our guide (Simon) took amazing care of us and knew what we would need before we did.

Highly recommend Kajie Safaris for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Three generations of my family, ages 16 - 79. just returned from a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, doing the 11-day Safari, Gorilla and Chimp treking safari. All seven of us agreed that the trip exceeded our (already high) expectations. Ronald and team were responsive in weeks and months prior to the trip, answering questions promptly, and also helped us navigate hiccups with the visa process. Once in Uganda, our guide Simon went above and beyond to teach us about the wildlife and culture in his beautiful country. We were amazed by how plentiful and close-up all of the wildlife sightings were. The geography of each park was different from the one before it, all scenic and beautiful. And the optional cultural experiences in local communities were all worthwhile. Lodging was comfortable, even for my 79-year old father, and the attentive of the staff and the food at each lodge were fantastic.

Gorillas, Mountains and even more
What should I say?
We had an incredible experience together with Ronald to discover the amazing surroundings of Uganda.
From the very beginning of our planning process I knew that we will do our trip with the right guy!
Ronald was very responsive in communication and considered in detail all desires of our adventures. Tailormade … to bring it on the point
On site we met a humorous guy, very obliging and friendly who made the trip even more worth it!
We can recommend Kajie Safaris without any restrictions.
Stay as you are!
Gyebale Ronald!
Greetings from Nadine & Sascha
