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
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
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.

Once in a lifetime trip
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!
Can’t wait to go to Africa again!!!

Once-in-a-lifetime experience
We recently embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime safari across East Africa, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our goal was to combine different countries and wildlife experiences, and Kubwa Five offered the perfect variety of combinations.
From the very beginning, the team's commitment to providing excellent service was clear. They were incredibly organized and attentive, giving us all the necessary information well in advance of our trip. In fact, they stayed in touch with us throughout the planning stages and even followed up on our flights and all other details before arrival, which helped to ensure everything went smoothly.
Our adventure began in the breathtaking landscapes of Rwanda and Uganda, where we were fortunate to be guided by Smith.
He was incredibly approachable, always happy to answer our questions and share fascinating insights about the local life connecting with us on both personal and educational levels.
What impressed us most was his dedication to ensuring we experienced everything possible, always striving to help us see all the sights and fully immerse ourselves in every moment, making him a true highlight of our trip.
Our trip continued to Kenya, an extraordinary experience, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Godfrey. His deep knowledge of the landscape and sharp observation skills gave us the best chance to witness rare and breathtaking wildlife encounters.
His ability to read the behavior of the animals made the experience even more memorable. He was always willing to wait for the ideal moment, making sure we didn’t miss any of the incredible wildlife action.
The last part of our safari took us to Tanzania, where we were greeted by our incredible guide, Alfa! From the moment we met him, it was clear that Alfa was a safari expert, and his knowledge of Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was unparalleled. He knew the areas like the back of his hand and was able to locate wildlife with ease—spotting animals before other safari vehicles, which gave us an incredible advantage.
He could predict their movements and always positioned us perfectly for the best views. His sharp eye allowed us to see the Big 5, encounters that we might have missed otherwise… While luck plays a role in a safari, it’s the expertise of a guide like Alfa that truly makes all the difference.
We’ll always remember his unwavering enthusiasm, even after countless game drives over the years.
His desire to help us understand the animal kingdom, the culture and the places we visited enriched our experience and gave us a deeper connection to everything we saw.
While all the guides we had throughout our trip truly represented the company at its best, we were also impressed by how the company maintained constant communication with our guides ensuring that everything ran flawlessly.
This attention to detail made us feel reassured and well-supported from start to finish. It was clear that our experience was a top priority, and we genuinely felt like we were in good hands throughout the entire adventure.
If you’re looking for a safari experience that’s not only well-organized but also enriched by passionate, knowledgeable guides who truly care about the wildlife and cultures they show you, we cannot recommend Kubwa Five enough.

Experience was more than expected
My wife and I had the great opportunity to check a trip off our bucket list. In August, we traveled from western New York to east Africa. Our first stop was in Uganda to be one of the few to experience a gorilla trek. For those who do not know what a gorilla trek is, we hiked through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in search of a family of mountain gorillas living in their remote natural habitat. After several months of research and scouring reviews, we chose Kubwa Five Safaris to make this experience a reality. We chose a two night, 3 day tour which started at the Entebbe International Airport. The road trip from the airport to the camp in Bwindi was about 8 hours, but the time went by quicker than you would think. I would like to give thanks to our driver and guide, Charles, for keeping us entertained and accommodated every request we had. He was with us for all three days. We always felt safe and knew from the start that we had a very professional and organized safari company. Due to our later airport arrival, we arrived at our accommodations around 10 pm. Kubwa Five Safaris reserved the Agandi Uganda Eco Lodges and we could not be more pleased with their choice. I believe that these accommodations were considered a mid-range price point. Agandi Uganda was absolutely beautiful. The employees were very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was unforgettable. They kept the restaurant open and all the staff on property until we arrived. The food was amazing and we had to thank the chef personally for the great meals we received. The manager knew we were on our honeymoon and decorated our room with romantic decor and a personalized message in flowers on our bed. The chef also baked us a delicious cake and we reenacted feeding each other as we did at our wedding. On our second night, the owner of Kubwa Five Safaris, Joseph, met us after dinner to discuss our experience thus far. He was very pleased to hear that his company had exceeded our expectations. As we spoke, I learned all about his company and the variety of safaris his company provides. The prices that were discussed were right on the mark, but it's the level of service that, in our opinion, sets Kubwa Five Safaris above the competition. He explained that he not only provides gorilla trekking, but big five safaris in Kenya and Tanzania and much more. My wife and I came to the quick conclusion that we would re-visit. I know, after speaking with Joseph, after the wonderful experience we had with Charles, and the great stay we had at Agandi Uganda, that I can honestly, 100% trust and recommend Kubwa Five Safeties. We cannot thank them enough for our experience.
