Pamoja Tours were great, even individualized our Murchison Falls Safari!
5/5

The office staff (Regina) listened to our needs, noting our limited budget and time and individualized the 3 day safari in Murchison Falls to suit those needs. They were FULL days but such a beautiful adventure thanks to Amos, our guide who was both an excellent driver and incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. We saw all of the big 5 (elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, water buffalo) plus giraffes, antelope of different species, baboons, monkeys, hippo, crocodiles and birds, butterflies, bugs and lizards of all kinds. Finishing the tour at the magnificent Murchison Falls was a perfect ending. Highly recommend this company and both Regina as the tour arranger and Amos as a guide. They even did pick up and drop off at our hotel in Kampala. Ask about any personalizations you might need!

Everything perfect!
5/5

I’m so happy I’ve booked through Pamoja! First they exactly offered the trip of our dreams. We exchanged and they perfectly understood what was the best for us.
And secondly we had the best guide we could have, professional, great knowledge of the region, very nice and flexible. Thank you so much Tyson, our trip wouldn’t have been so perfect without you!

Excellent tour with a reliable company and excellent guide
5/5

Communication was good, efficient, accurate.
Everything promised and planned was fulfilled to precision.

The guide, Zaid, was excellent: very professional and reliable, friendly and most accommodating. His continuing affort to see that all went well made the tour a wonderful experience.

The Toyota vehicle was very old, though sturdy, and worked well, but its age showed in some respects regarding comfort, especially with seat environment, too weak a suspension system, and difficult to operate seat belt.

The tour covered all major and intersting sites, as promised and beyond, and all technical and administrative aspects were well taken care of.
Hotels and lodges were fine except a few where hot water was not always available.
Meals were mostly good, except in one location (Kidepo) where portions were insufficient.

During discussions with the office that led to the tour, some price quotes seemed too high, which required further negotiation in order to reach reasonable agreements.

Some members of staff were clearly interested in meeting the needs and wishes of the customer and his well being, while others focused mostly on payment details in a manner that could be more sensitive.

In conclusion, it was an excellent tour, rewarding and most enjoyable, with a very reliable and experienced guide who went out of his way to ensure all went well.
At the same, vigilance and close attention during cost discussions prior to concluding the itinerary can prove money saving.

Safari experience with more than you are expecting
5/5

On February 2024 we were on a stunning 10-days safari tour with our beloved company Pamoja! We were relieved to find such trustable and honest people in this company. 🙏🏼

When you book your safari from far away it's always a gamble to decide who you should trust. Via Whatsapp Pamoja gained our trust by giving us all the informations with pictures and videos we needed to see. We did the 40% payment in advance and hoped this company really exists. They do, haha. They organized everything from our pick up at the airport to our very last day of our trip! We were blessed with the confidence they gave us and the professionalism these guys operated with.

Pamoja helped us in any situation and was even flexible in extending our itinerary as we asked them to do so. They informed us about the fair prices and made the bookings rapidly after we wished for it.

With our guide David Katantazi we were more than happy! He is an invaluable person with great experience and a very comfortable way of treatment. The way he adapted to our wishes and concerns is remarkable, we have no words to thank him. His driving style is calm and secure, we enjoyed every hour in his car, the time flew by so rapidly! David had very interesting things to tell us about his wonderful country and I'm honored, that he and the people we met on our way, were open to share their culture with us like they did. We felt very welcome!

I haven't described all the impressive things we have seen on our journey because that would let this review explode, haha. Apart from all the wonderful animals sightings that nature blessed us with, we could see breathtaking landscapes, get inspiring insight into Uganda's culture and experience all the warmheartedness of the ugandan people. David took us everywhere we wanted to go. I recomend every national park, but especially the ones with Gorillas and Chimps, as they are also a good variation to the safaris in car.

Thank you Pamoja for this inspiring experience! It changed our way of looking at things and we made a lot of friends on this journey! We liked it so much that we are thinking about comming back within one or two years, lets hope to meet again soon!☺️🫶🏼

Best regards, Jonathan!

Very helpful guide, Would definitely recommend!
5/5

Our tour guide was very helpful and made us feel safe in Uganda. The touring car was very comfortable also and we were always feeling safe, even in hectic traffic places like kampala. The guide knew a lot about the animals and the way of life in Uganda, but there was also nice banter during the tour. Overall a 10/10.

Pamoja are true professionals
5/5

What an amazing experience in Uganda.
And all thanks to Pamoja Tours and Travel.
From day one the communication was great.

They met all my expectations doing varied activities such as white water rafting in Jinja, gorilla tracking in Bwindi and a city tour in Kampala.
A first class team and special mention to Regina and Sperito.
From tour guides, transportation and hotels all where first class .
Thanks for making this trip so special.

I’ll be back in Uganda and fot sure I’ll make arrangements to do it with Pamoja Tours and Travel

Worth it
5/5

We went on a 3-day gorilla trekking trip, but ended up extending the trip thanks to our wonderful guide Sperito, who always plans and tailors the best trips for us. His flexibility makes our vacation time more relaxed and filled with memorable experiences! We got to see Lake Mburo National park in addition to Bwindi impenetrable rainforest and Lake Bunyonyi. The accommodations on this trip were also definitely my favourite from all I have ever been to! Gorilla trekking was unforgettable, Bwindi is a magical place in the morning fog and the mountain gorillas so amazing to witness in their natural habitat. I can say the trip was worth evey penny.

Previous trip we took with Pamoja Tours was a tour to Jinja and Sipi Falls, and also Ssezibwa Falls on the way. We did white water tubing on the Nile and abseiling in Sipi Falls, and both experiences made me absolutely overcome myself and gave me adrenaline rushes I've never felt before. Experiencing the rapids of the Nile and the breathtaking nature of Sipi Falls left a lasting impression that I'll always be greatful for. Sipi especially is a place I recommend everyone to see!

Sperito and Daniel were great guides to us, answering questions and listening to our wishes, in addition to sense of humor that makes the trip more fun. I can say Sperito has become a friend! Pamoja is a great company with great values ja respectable ambitions and a desire to make a difference not only in great tourism experiences but also for the wellbeing of the local communities. Supporting them supports a good cause and rewards you greatly in return.

Outstanding Uganda Tour to see Gorillas!
5/5

I had the best tour to go see gorillas! The two accommodations organized for me were just amazing. You get to see so much of Uganda on the lengthy drive to the national park. David, my driver, was the coolest guy and super supportive when I needed his assistance.

And for the gorillas, I saw a silverback and a mother and 2-week baby up close! It was probably the best day of my life.

Highly recommend this tour operator for the quality of the tour and their amazing support. Will have memories for life.
