Epic 13 day journey around Uganda
Libby has already reviewed this trip, but I'd like to add my appreciation of the whole experience. Uganda was incredibly interesting and Emma added to our enjoyment with lots of local knowledge and insights, and I'm sure his good nature helped to keep us on track and on schedule. His skills and know-how most likely also prevented unexpected mechanical delays with the vehicle. It was a very enjoyable trip and everyone got along very well. Would recommend Buffalo Safari Camps to anyone wanting a tailored tour of this beautiful country.

Fantastic self-drive trip in Uganda
Buffalo Safaris exceeded expectations on all fronts. From assistance with acquiring gorilla tracking permits to helping us plan our trip through Uganda Tim and his team were incredibly helpful. The car was great, as was the equipment, and Tim stayed in contact with us during our trip regarding any information we needed, like road conditions etc. We really did have a great time and I would recommend the self-drive option to anyone who enjoys 4x4'ing, camping and the outdoors. Uganda is a special place!

Great value
I travelled to Uganda end of November 2017 with my mom and we met a friend who was doing charity work in Kampala.
Tim was very professional when I contacted him for a quote. He redid the quote several times to meet my criterias (budget and activity wise).
The trip was awesome. He managed to fit all I wanted to do in an 8 day trip (Bwindi/gorillas, chimps, Queen Elizabeth and Murchinson). It was intense but completely worth it and amazing. Uganda is a very pretty country - but do NOT expect good roads ^^ - and we saw amazing things all along the trip. It was our first time in Africa, and we were definitely wooed! Our driver, Emmanuel, was both super nice, very knowledgeable and helpful. It was a very nice trip. Definitely recommend the company.

A magical stunning experience in Kidepo.
I travelled with Buffalo and another company while in Uganda recently. Buffalo was outstanding and professional from beginning to end. Buffalo were flexible and accommodating and went out of their way to ensure a fabulous trip. They are very efficient with replying to emails and the entire booking process was very easy. I did the 5 day trip to Kidepo and it was absolutely stunning, words cannot describe how amazing Kidepo is. The food and the driving was excellent as was the knowledge and friendliness of the crew. This was the perfect end to my Ugandan adventure.
I would recommend Buffalo without hesitation. I will certainly travel with them again. They are the best.

Efficiently organized safari with a fabulous, knowledgable, friendly guide!
We used Buffalo Safari Camps to plan and organize our 7 day trip in Uganda. Tim was very easy to work with and came up with a wonderful itinerary that included a night in Entebbe then flying to Kidepo and overlanding from there to Murshinson Falls, the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and back to Entebbe. Our son ended up joining us at the last minute and Tim was able to seamlessly include him on our itinerary.
Our trip was amazing! Tim’s friendly driver, Ellie, welcomed us to Uganda and transported directly to and from the Karibu Guesthouse in Entebbe which was very helpful. After our stay in Kidepo we were picked up by Paul who was our guide and driver for the remainder of our trip. Paul took great pride in sharing information regarding the villages we passed through, identifying all the animals and birds we saw, and answering all our many, many questions. He went out of his way find rare animals and waited very patiently while we took our time watching the wildlife. He made sure our time in Uganda was very special.
Asante Sana!

Excellent in every way
We had a courteous and highly knowledgeable guide who took us to see elephant, a leopard and lions as well as many other animals.
The organisation was efficient, fitting our budget and our interests. We stayed in a beautiful lodge, falling asleep to the sound of hippos in the lake below.
I highly recommend Buffalo Safari Camps - a great way to enjoy this beautiful country and its rich wildlife.
Fantastic Wildlife Watching Experience
Everything was well organised & ran seamlessly. Buffalo Safaris surpassed my expectations. A wonderfully rich and diverse wildlife watching experience whilst taking in the Pearl of Africa’s ever changing landscapes, cultural depth and magical skies. Felt very safe and looked after & the camps were very comfortable & the food was delicious.
I can it recommend the safari up to the Gorillas enough. It’s was a dream to see them & great to know that the eco tourism is conserving the region and its inhabitants for Uganda and the generations to come.
Thanks again Buffalo Safaris. This really was the trip of a lifetime.

Excellent choice of itinerary and delivery.....thanks Tim and the team
We'd been thinking about a safari for a while but decided to wait until our daughter was old enough to appreciate it - very glad we did. We spoke to Tim and told him what we'd like to experience and that was all we had to do!!! Tim advised us what, in his opinion, would be the most enjoyable for us and suggested how long we should spend in each destination. It worked out perfectly and each day felt like a new adventure with enough time to chill out but not so much that we felt like we should be doing something. I'd thoroughly recommend Buffalo Safaris to anyone that's thinking of seeing Uganda. Our guide Emmanual was very knowledgable friendly and keen to tell us about his country. Try the pineapples - they are amaaaaazing!!!!!

They can handle any challenges
I had a wonderful time with Buffalo Safari Camps on a private trip to Kidepo. Rodgers (the driver/guide) and David (the cook) have great personalities and many stories and we had lively discussions which I thoroughly enjoyed. David is an excellent cook, and Rodgers a knowledgeable guide and highly experienced driver (a true Kidepo expert). My communications with the office were always promptly replied, and Tim helped me choose an itinerary that was best suited to me.
My trip was not without complications (including getting stuck in the mud, encountering a flooded road [becuase it was raining in Kenya, we were told], and two car breakdowns). NONE of the issues we had were caused in any way by the staff, nor the quality of their equipment/vehicle (the breakdowns were a consequence of the extremely bad roads which we were forced to travel for hundreds of km because of the flooded out road). The staff handled all of our problems extremely professionally. We all kept our spirits up, and ultimately made it to Kidepo and had a great time. I'm sure my safari ended up going over-budget because of the added fuel (due to re-routing around the flooded road), and extra food/accommodations in town, and ultimately an extra vehicle, but Buffalo Safari Camps did not even mention this as an issue.
I would highly recommend Buffalo Safari Camps to my family/friends. Not only do they provide high-quality service for a budget price, but also with them, you can rest assured that if anything goes wrong, they will know how to deal with it and you will be well taken care of!
