Lake Mubro- great park with few visitors
Lake Mburo National Park is kind of great place to visit for 2 or 3 days. I went with my wife and our two young daughters. We stayed at Rwakobo Rock lodge that is provided as accommodation by Ngoni Safaris. We reached at park around 9pm, after that we leave for Lake Mburo National park via Masaka-Mbarara where have our lunch. At park, there were a couple of hippos in water. We were expecting to see Zebras, Impala herds, Warthogs, water bucks and we had that opportuniy.
The boat trip on the lake is an opportunity to see many hippos, a couple of crocodiles, and a lot of birds. Our guide/ranger was very nice, spoke good english, and having good details all about we were concerning about while viewing the things. We ate lunch at the small restaurant on the lake.
We then did a nature walk with our ranger, It was a rare experience to be able to walk in a park amongst the wildlife. This is an advantage to visiting a park without many predators. The walk was easy and with wonderful views, if not spectacular, were still a breath of fresh air from life in Kampala.
I recommend Lake Mburo to anyone with a love for nature, particularly birds, though there are no elephants, leopards are difficult to spot.

Nice park with zebras and impalas and safari walking.
Lake Mburo Park was our first park that we had visited in Uganda during our 10 days tour package. So, we were little excited and had high expectations. And, yes we were not disappointed!. Many zebra's and impalas dancing around our Jeep, and was kind breathtakking. We also have a morning walk safari before leaving to Bwindi, which was even more interesting because of the opportunity to move between the animals. To watch them eat and smell African odours while the sun is rising and colors are changing every minute, that was very special moment of day. I would like to visit here again and with same tour guides.

Murchison Falls is simply spectacular and amazing
Murchison falls national park is unique as in its own. Accommodation made by company was so good, we slept over at Heritage Safari Lodge with tour guide Nelson from Ngoni Safaris. We had done a nature walk to the top of the falls, where we got the oportunity to visualise the beauty of River nile,
We had made a game drive on next day, to Murchison falls park and this is what was the highlight of my trip to murchison falls. Here we used to made a stop at ziwa rhino sanctuary.....the park was having a vast variety of wild animals in each and every corner of the savana. We can see all of the animals very simply here such as, elephants, giraffes, bufalloes, kobs.....birds....lots of animals i can tell you..
The most amazing moment of oue tour was the boat cruise on the 3rd day,,,, gave us the opportunity to get a panoramic view of this beautiful mighty nile...IT WAS AMAZING.....BEAUTIFUL and SENSATIONAL.....

Kibale- dark and dense forest with Plenty of chimps
The main motive of visiting this park was my interest to see chimpanzees and truly, I was not disappointed. In fact, we were very fortunate and found a big family of around 20 - 25 within only few minutes' walk from the park head-quarters. Our guide Nelson was very informative and helpful, and the chimps were very approachable, without any distraction or notice of human beings. I had visited Mahale Mountains in Tanzania last year in may and on the basis of both visit, I would say my experience of chimp trekking in Mahale was slightly better than here in Kibale. The Mahale chimps were mostly out in the open, so it was easy to saw them and photographed more clearly. They also visited Kungwe Beach Lodge. In Kibale the chimps were in dense forest, so they could not be seen so clearly and there was poor light for photography. This is just my personal experience. Someone else might say quite the reverse.

Adventures feel at Lake Mburo
Lake Mburo is somehow smaller than other game parks in Uganda that we had visited during our 10 days trip with Ngoni Safaris. But can say it was so exceptional! You see so many wonderful animals in a more beautiful concentrated environment. The lake is breathtakingly beautiful and thus boat ride is a must for optimal hippo and bird watching. The zebras are worth the trip alone! So many types of birds, antelope, cape buffalo, zebra, monkeys, etc. will really make it seem like a safari! It doesn't contain giraffe or elephant as other places, but the rest of the wildlife are really amazing and worth the trip. We were able to arrive late afternoon from Kampala cantral, drive around and see many animals while trekking, spend the night at Rwakobo Rock lodge, then do a morning game drive and had a small boat ride and then at 1pm, leave to Bwindi Impenetrable forest national park. We stayed in the Gorilla Mist Camp provided at the company side, which were fine, good acccomodations and without fences.Yes, there are little entrance charges, that rest upto 24 hrs. It was definitely a highlight of my time in Uganda to see the beautiful zebras in their natural habitat!

Experience to Kigali on 3-day trip
For a wonderful gorilla trekking, I booked a tour package of 3-days trip for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park with Ngoni Safaris Uganda. About this travel agency, it is really very attentive to my needs and kind of so helpful. During the 3-days trip, my guide was Nelson, has been really very nice and is a friendly nature and talkative guide indeed. I will like to regard him as my travelling partner instead. I would like to show my great gratitude towards him, particularly for his great skill to travel in great rain in the first day of tour from Kampala to the Bwindi. About Accommodation, the lodges they arranged, were also great and nice, both in the nights in Bwindi were amazing. That was my first trip to Uganda, Africa and this tour was such a wonderful journey for me. Just because of their efforts and arrangement, I suggest this agency to every other traveller, to go through this area as well.

It was an Incredible experience
yes, this was the once in a life time experience. My self, my girlfriend and two other friends completed a 3 day trek with Ngoni Safaris Uganda. Very first day we were hiked for six hours, mostly up hill, to find the gorilla family. Finally, We were within 10/12 feet from the silverback and five other gorillas. Our guides were wonderful, that making sure we were positioned close to them to get excellent pictures. then on second day we asked to our guides, to see a family of gorillas with their babies. Then guides made it and we came upon the gorilla family after four hours of hiking throughout a dense jungle. This family had several mothers with babies (10 or 12). The silverback always positioned himself between us and his family. I suggest that everyone hire a porter. We were hiking in very dense jungle, through rivers, going up and down steep terrain. Girls in team was taking help by a porter, he pulled them up many hills and many times saved them from sliding down terrain. Be prepared with rain gear, gaiters, water, bug spray and one hiking stick( you need your other hand free for your porter to help you up the mountain

Incredible Safari in Kidepo National Parks
Kidepo National Park is distinct and spectacular whilst being visited than any other National Park in Uganda. You can book a tour with Ngoni Safaris to explore the park that is located at extreme North East of the Pearl of Africa Uganda. Visitors here will definitely encounter variety of animal and bird species, that sought solace in this park like rare cat species like cheetah that can only be found here while in Uganda. The vegetation here and the two valleys give you a real experience of being in the wilderness blended with amazing creatures. Try a short 5 days trip or more with this amazing tour company Ngoni safaris and discover secrets of nature in a park ranked as one of the best in Africa, which I may also refer it to as the incredible Kidepo!!!

Loudest falls in Uganda
While 7 days trekking, we went to several locations, Murchison falls was one of them. This place really leaves upto the expectations, the gals are very powerful and marginal to see on a boat cruise that takes about 2 hours. Enroute the cruise we spotted various wildlife including hippos, Nile crocodiles, elephants, several bird species and Buffalos.
There is the option of trekking up the falls to have a wondering magnificent view of the falls and live in the moment as u listen to the roars of the wild waters down the rocks.
I recommend truly must visit this place when on a safari in Uganda
