Fantastic safari!
5/5

We had a fantastic safari with Kubwa Five! Our safari took us to Kibale to see the chimpanzees, Queen Elizabeth National Park and then to Bwindi to see the gorillas. Smith, our guide, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had lots of laughs together! I also really appreciated how Kubwa Five went above and beyond to ensure our safari went smoothly. We had an action-packed day filled with chimpanzee trekking and then a boat safari on the Kazinga Channel. I wanted to check-in to my hotel in Queen Elizabeth before the boat safari (we were meant to go on the boat first) and they were happy to accommodate me. But because of my request, we actually ended up missing the boat. Kubwa Five told me it was no problem and promptly arranged another boat on the spot which I really appreciated. So the safari went incredibly smoothly. The highlight had to be seeing the mountain gorillas. Nothing quite prepares you for seeing these magnificent animals!

5/5

We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari journey with Kubwa Five Safaris, and we were thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. Our guide, Charles, provided exceptional service, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the trip.

The accommodations at each location were of the highest standard, conveniently situated near the attractions we visited, making them easily accessible. The booking process was efficient and streamlined, with our expectations clearly understood and meticulously organized.

The overall value for the price was outstanding, as it encompassed all aspects of the trip, including meals, transportation, and park entrance fees. Each lodge we stayed at had its own unique character, adding to the richness of our experience.

This trip far exceeded our expectations, and we are already eager to return. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Kubwa Five Safaris for providing us with a truly unforgettable experience. We highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a memorable safari adventure

Kubwa Five Safaris offers a reliable, well-organized, and unforgettable safari experience.
5/5

My experience with Kubwa Five Safaris was exceptional from start to finish. Their communication was prompt and detailed, ensuring I had all the necessary information before my trip. The service was outstanding—our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated to making our safari unforgettable. The accommodations were comfortable, and the meals were delicious, offering great value for money.

Reliability was a key highlight; everything was well-organized, from airport transfers to game drives. The safari itself was breathtaking—we saw the "Big Five" and many other animals in their natural habitat. The boat safari and cultural village visit added depth to the experience.

Kubwa Five Safaris exceeded my expectations with their professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for creating memorable adventures. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-planned and authentic African safari!

Wonderful world of animals
3/5

We saw a lot of animals, thanks to our guide. He tried very hard to get us as close to the animals as possible. It was never boring, there was always something to discover, he explained everything we wanted to know.
The lodges varied greatly, from clean, friendly and just perfect to...well...
I can only recommend that everyone book the mountain tour separately. Unfortunately, this was a catastrophic organization and very annoying. The mountain guide had no contact with KubwaFive, he didn't know the program we had booked!!! - The reason for only 3 stars!
As mentioned, we were very lucky with our guide Tony - he made the vacation unforgettable and beautiful for us

Excellent Pilgrimage Package
5/5

Kubwa’s Five Safaris was an excellent choice for my Lalibela Pilgrimage. I really liked the itinerary for my package deal. I accomplished my main purpose of blessing the rock-hewn churches ,of Lalibela, with cash donations, and establishing a point of contact for a future charity campaign. Melkamu and Taye were very knowledgeable, kind and insightful tour guides. I would recommend the packages Kubwa Safari has to offer.

We just had the most amazing 25 days in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda with KubwaFive!
Since the beginning, the agency demonstrated to be a responsible and replied us throw WhatsApp anytime.

We had seen many animals during ours safari’s, specifically lions (15 at once! 😁), and saw even a baby lions and a baby leopard! We also never forget our meeting with the gorilas, such a surreal experience!

Thank you so much for organizing this amazing trip! African food was delicious and the lodges were outstanding!

We had 3 different guides, one in each country and they were all wonderful!
We also want to make a special complement for our guides! This trip would not be the same without them! Tony, Smith and Mustafa were wonderful!!!

I spend my birthday during this journey and the agency was very kind and provided a special birthday cake for me!
