The charm of Africa still virgin in the company of Kajie Safaris
My 6 days in Uganda followed by Kaje Safaris. In a short time, but full of strong emotions, I had a beautiful image of Uganda, thanks above all to the experience and professionalism of Kajie through my guide (now friend) Colly. From mountain gorillas, to the safari in Queen Elizabeth Park, up to the pursuit of chimpanzees and, finally, a river excursion which completed the observation of the big five. I was lucky enough, thanks to the experience of the guide, to see 4 big ones in a single day. Lions, hippos, African elephants (the largest in the world) and the very rare leopard. In addition to the fauna and the fabulous landscapes, I cannot help but say that the friendliness of the people and their gratitude touched my heart and I am already thinking of returning to Uganda as soon as possible.
To conclude, I would like to recommend Kajie Safaris for their professionalism, seriousness and preparation. They make sure you don't lack anything and satisfy every request. I couldn't have chosen better.

Perfect
We spent 2 weeks on a private trip to Uganda with Kajie Safaris.
A big compliment goes to our driver Bob.
Bob always tried to show us the most beautiful places and explain them to us. He saw many animals before we saw them and took us very close to them. He really has eagle eyes :)
We were also impressed by Bob's careful driving style, which always brought us safely to our destination.
The selected lodges were also very nice, clean, well maintained and the staff were always friendly and helpful.
We can highly recommend Kajie Safaris and Bob as a guide.We spent 2 weeks on a private trip to the south of Uganda with Kajie Safaris.

Amazing experience with Kajie
Thank you Kajie for an amazing trip! Our tour was very well planned and organized by Ronald. He was always attentive, quick to respond and very helpful with all concerns or adjustments. Our guide was Baluku who is the best tour guide ever. He is friendly and kind, has a great knowledge and did his very best to make this trip unique. He organized a surprise for my birthday and a banana pancake cooking class for my parents! We loved the lodges in Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth, staff was so hospitable and the food was amazing. Gorilla trekking exceeded all our expectations. We can highly recommend booking your Uganda tour with Kajie!

Unforgettable experience in Uganda!
We approached Kajie safaris to provide us with a complete package for our holiday in Uganda which included game drives, community visits, experiences with the primates and every other detail required. Our entire trip was overseen by Ronald who provided us with a very reasonable price and kept us informed of every detail in advance of our trip and during. We were given plenty of opportunity to tailor our trip to our needs and did so with their knowledge and experience. Our guide for the trip - Colly - met us at the airport and was with us the entire trip. Our experience with Kajie was absolutely fantastic. Every aspect of our trip was run very smoothly with Colly building a great relationship with us throughout the journey. He was knowledgeable and friendly with a great sense of humour and we honestly would recommend everyone to request him as their guide should they choose Uganda!
There is not a single thing we can say could have been improved, Kajie were proactive and highly responsive to our needs and requests. Our transport, hotels and food organised were exceptional and they organised every aspect of our trip. They went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best opportunity to see the primates and every species we could want to see with excellent opportunities to photo and video them.
Colly's local knowledge was brilliant and ensured we had a smooth trip from start to finish. These guys are a 10 out of 10 for us and, whilst other tour companies may be good, from experience we would recommend anyone and everyone that can to go to Uganda, book with Kajie, and ask for Colly to be their guide! Amazing stuff :)

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.

Fantastic
Kajie safaris gave me one of my best trips ever in Africa (and i travel a lot)
From the pick up at the airport until the departure day Ronald my guide gave me an incredible trip and everything i booked was spot on.
Kibale is a fantastic place and the climate is perfect and if you go in Jan-Feb there isn´t much rain and it is very easy to walk in the forest (quite open) and not many mosquitos at all.
PS! Dont miss Bigodi Swamp nearby to combine with Kibale, good sightings of Colobus monkeys and also the nightwalk with potos and galagos.
Check this out what you can expekt to see

Amazing experience in amazing Uganda!
This was an amazing trip to amazing Uganda with excellent guide Ronald, who was very informative, helpful and communicative, great service in the car (plenty of drinking water, cold beverages, wifi). During our trip we stopped at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and saw many rhinos up-close, then moved to the Murchison Falls National Park with its eye-catching landscape, many animals to see (including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffalo) with few tourists around, took boat ride on the river Nile (about 2 hours) and hiked up to the amazing Murchison Falls (took us about 40 minutes, it can be a bit exhausting so take some water). Then we went on a scenic drive through Uganda to the Queen Elizabeth National Park. We saw less animals here than in Murchison Falls, but more animals up-close on our boat ride on the Kazinga channel, which took for about 2 hours.
We highly recommend Kajie Safaris as your tour operator and the Murchison Falls National Park as one of your destinations if you plan a trip to Uganda!

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.

Very well organised tour that covered our needs. The Murchison NP accommodation was below standard
We had a great trip enhanced by our guide Barluku. He went out of his way to ensure we had some amazing experiences. The best of which were the Rhino Sanctuary, the chimpanzees and the Gorillas of course. All of which we viewed from between 2 to 3 meters away. This was totally unexpected but what unforgettable experiences. Barluku was friendly with a great sense of humour. He gave us insight into life in Uganda and is very well connected and made things happen for us. 5 star tour guide.
