Trip of a lifetime
We went on a bespoke 2 week safari around most of the main points of Uganda. It was arranged extremely well with fantastic communication throughout all of the planning stages. The price was extremely competitive and offered better accommodation lodges than other companies who were charging more. We always felt safe and all of our needs were attended to. Our driver Aire (elephant) was amazing and knew exactly where to go to find the best animals, it’s not just about luck. He had great knowledge of the different parks and knew where animals would usually be. Our chef, David, for the camping element was amazing and made better food on a camping stove then o could make in a full kitchen. It was great learning from them about Uganda. It was an amazing experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better safari company.

An unforgettable experience
My friend and I did a 1 week safari with Buffalo Safari Camps and we had an amazing time. It was easy to book and all of our emails were answered quickly. They personalized our itinerary for what we were most interested in, including adding a hike to the Ik tribe. We were picked up on time and had no problems with transportation throughout our week. Rogers was our driver/guide and was amazing. He was very knowledgable about the animals and about Uganda in general. He was great at finding animals during our game drives and found the animals we were most interested in. Rogers was well prepared for all of our activities, even getting things the night before so we didn't have to wait in line. I would recommend Buffalo Safari Camps to anyone! We truly had a trip of a lifetime!!

The guide made us feel extremely comfortable with the entire experience.
Everything was great. The one thing I would say is to have an emergency phone number before the trip starts.

Brilliant tailor made safari
Having previously worked in the safari industry some years ago, myself and my partner decided to take the in-laws on their first ever safari.
Booking with Buffalo Safari Camps allowed us to tailor make our tour for exactly wanted we wanted, and it didn’t disappoint... it was without a doubt one of the best safaris we’ve ever been on!
The overall tour itinerary, vehicle (huge fan of Land Rovers) and service were top notch, not to mention great value. Our driver Errie was awesome - very knowledgeable and always smiling.
I’ve recommended all of my friends.

Excellent Customized Group Tour with Chimp Trekking and Queen Elizabeth
I had family in town, and Buffalo organized and incredible week in southern Uganda for us. Unfortunately during the trip, our vehicle broke down, but Tim and his staff were so efficient in finding replacements and getting them to us on time that we barely noticed the issue (aside from a visibly different vehicle). I was super impressed with their problem solving efficiencies. In addition, the tour was amazing! We went gorilla trekking, toured Queen Elizabeth, and went chimp trekking. The lodges we stayed at were beautiful and well appointed, and the food was great throughout.

Trip of a lifetime
Everything about the trip was perfect.
From start to finish the trip was exactly what we wanted from our honeymoon. The organisation was seamless in a country that can often frustrate even the most patient. Our guide Kirunda was excellent - friendly and knowledgeable, but allowed us our space when needed.
The tour exceeded our expectations and we couldn't recommend Uganda and Buffalo Safari Camps highly enough.

Beautifully tailor-made and very well organized 12 day trip throughout Western Uganda
My mom came to visit and I wanted to be able to spend our time together exploring the beauty and abundant wildlife of Uganda without stressing about logistics. Tim built a wonderful itinerary combining our desires for wildlife and culture. Our guide/driver Roger was so knowledgeable and kind throughout the entire trip and our Chef David amazed us with excellent food suited for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. We could not have been happier with our experience with Buffalo Safari Camps.

Tim did a great job helping us develop an itinerary that matched our interests and budget.
We loved our safari. The animals were amazing. We saw lions, giraffe, cape buffalo, Nile crocodiles, baboons, monkeys galore, chimpanzee, hippos, rhino, elephant, water buck, antelope of all kinds, guinea fowl, warthogs and more birds that I can even name. The price was affordable. The accommodations far exceeded our expectations - absolutely loved all of the lodges. I think Murchison Falls was our favorite park. Listening to the animals at night was an unbeatable experience. It was the perfect combination of wilderness and comfort. Our guide, Emma, was an exceedingly good driver. I am certain we wouldn't have seen half the animals we did without his expertise. Would definitely do it again!!!!

Excellent Budget Option
I've lived in Uganda for years and have taken visitors on safari multiple times, through multiple tour operators. Buffalo has been the best option I've come across. It was very well organized, the staff were patient with our many bank transfer issues, and the hostels/lodges they partner with are excellent.
We enjoyed our driver, Emma, and were really appreciative of his expertise regarding timing in order to get the best chances to see animals during the actual safaris. A great experience overall! Will definitely be back when I have visitors in town, or simply need a break from Kampala.

Good and well arranged 3 day safari to Murchison
We went with four people on a three day safari to Murchison falls with Buffalo safari's. The communication with Tim and the office staff beforehand was both very clear and informative. They thought along with us regarding the budget as well as the activities we could do during the safari.
The safari itself was arranged perfectly. We had a pick up at a location in Jinja we chose ourselves exactly on time and from there on our guide (Rogers) could not have been more helpful and informative. Rogers speaks about 10 local Ugandan languages which is very usefull (espacially when going up north), and knows a lot about all the animals and the history of the park. Any communication with Rogers while in the park as well as with Tim back in Jinja, is easy and again very clear.
We saw a lot of beautiful animals and we were able to fully enjoy the beauty at and around Muchison.
All in all, a great experience. I would recommend Buffalo Safaris to anyone.
Cheers!
