Gorilla trekking and lions
working with Buffalo was a great experience. The communication was very good leading up to the trip as far as planning with Tim, he was helpful in explaining the accommodations and overall trip. The tour was amazing and our guide was probably the best available. We had an amazing time and would book with Buffalo again.

Best Safari
What a safari! I've been on other ones before in Kenya, but this was my first in Uganda and we were advised to go to Murchison Falls National Park. Being on a strict budget our group was recommended Buffalo Safari Camps by friends. We met with the owner Tim in Jinja, and he was able to build us an individual safari. Without him we wouldn't have known where to start or where to visit, and he was really helpful in giving us friendly general advice about Uganda and the wildlife.
It was all simply organised for us, and at a good price, and our group spent 3 glorious days in the park where we saw lions, baby elephants and Giraffes. Accommodation was in the tents Buffalo Safari camps provided, which were clean and comfortable, and the locations were stunning, right on the river Nile. Our driver Emma and cook David, deserve special mention. They were such nice guys, easy to chat to, helpful, polite and very good at feeding us!
I would really recommend the Ziwa Safari park, where the Rhino's can be seen on the way into Murchison National Park. And although I was reluctant to do it initially, the boat ride to Murchison Waterfalls really made the trip, sipping beers as the sun go's down on the Nile was magical.
Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks alot, would love to come back soon!
safari in south west uganda
We gave Buffalo the areas and activities we wanted to do, and they did the rest. We stayed in some wonderful lodges in Ishasha, Queen Elizabeth national park and in Bwindi Inpenetrable Forest and a homestay in Fort Portal. All were great. In Bwindi and QENP, we were had local guides, but elsewhere our driver took us around and took great pride in ensuring that we saw as much as we possibly could. In Ishasha, at the end of two trips through this incredibly scenic area, he tracked down a tree climbing lion which had eluded us, and even a glimpse of a leopard. He was very a great source of information. Other than a roadslip which forced the cancellation of a trip to Lake Bunyoni, everything worked out very well.
Highly recommended.

Excellent Murchison Experience!
Communication with Tim is always clear. He's a highly organised individual and always flexible with changes to itinerary. The safari was above our expectations - the family cottage at Murchison River Lodge was stunning. We loved the personal trip in the boat down the river (even if it was quite close to the crocs!). On the Safari, Rogers went above and beyond to help us see all of the wildlife - so much so, that we would have enjoyed another game drive! The park ranger was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting information. Unfortunately the weather conditions weren't great for the chimp trekking, but such things can't be controlled. All in all, our expectations were exceeded in every way and it was a highly enjoyable experience - perhaps my parents' favourite place in Uganda!

4 day Safari
Great trip with Buffalo Safari! We went out as a group of 3, and our driver provided excellent knowledge of the country and went out of his way to ensure we were well looked after. We elected to camp throughout the trip and were taken to some amazing locations off the beaten pathway that really gave the feel of an adventure holiday.
We went to see the mountain gorillas which was a once in a lift time experience, and came up close and personal with the beautiful animals.

Amazing experience. Perfectly organisated, accommodated every need. Great company to deal with.
The safari was very well planned and everything went accordingly. Buffalo safaris fulfilled my many requests at a very reasonable price. Great communication and very helpful. Great company to deal with. The safari lived up to expectations and more. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and experienced, very friendly and fun. This was my 4th safari and by far the best in every way, food, accommodation, vehicle, experience. Highly recommend Tim and buffalo safaris.

One in a lifetime experience
Everything was incredibly easy, they handled everything for us, food, transport, accommodation literally everything. Our driver was very nice, very good English and knew so much about the country and everything we went to see. Could not have been a better trip
Awesome safari, Fantastic guide and decent price
Have been on a lot of safaris over the year and always wanted to do a Northern Uganda Kidepo/ Murchison falls/ Sipi falls trip. Buffalo Safari's took care of everything from picking us up at the airport to making sure we had coldish beers when needed! The parks were amazing, accommodation brilliant and the cook we had from Buffalo was really friendly, made amazing food and even managed with our teams hard dietary issues! Would strongly recommend these parks, especially bush camping in Kidepo and will always use Buffalo when in Uganda.
An experience I will never forget
Buffalo Safari Camps organised a tailor made trip for me and my friends to go to Kidepo National Park. I have been on many safaris before but this one was by far the best. We had an amazing chef who cooked us up some delicious food, we drove all across the park to find the amazing animals who live within and also just to experience the vast landscape. Every part of the trip was fabulous including the long drive up to Kidepo, the guides became part of the trip and joined in on all the fun we had along the way. The booking process was equally easy and great. I could not recommend Buffalo Safari Camps more.

Exceptional service for large group bookings and of course an incredible safari!
Tim and his team at Buffalo Safari Camps (BSC) provide our volunteering teams an exceptional experience every single time. BSC are able to manage group bookings ensuring that everyone has a personalised experience which they will never forget. The team always go the extra mile to make sure the clients needs are meet and exceeded. The activities on the safari speak for themselves, seeing animals in the wild is always an incredible experience but for us the great organisational and tailored experience is what makes Buffalo Safari Camps the best Safari company to go with.
