Amazing experience!
My husband and I booked a 5 day safari with Kubwa Five Safaris and had an excellent experience. From picking us up at the airport to dropping us off, everything was well planned out and well executed. The meals, excursions, accommodations, transportation, etc was all taken care of for us. It was so wonderful to be able to relax and fully take in the safari experience and not have to worry about the logistics, because there's a lot that goes into it! It was all very well organized. We had a well laid out itinerary emailed to us with all the info we needed prior to the trip. Communication was great, we were able to get all of our questions answered prior to the trip.
Our guide, Mukisa Silas, was wonderful. He truly made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. When we would go on an excursion he would always speak with whoever was in charge and make sure everything was good and that my husband and I were taken care of. It was like he was dropping his kids off at their first day of school and he wanted to make sure everything was good to go before leaving us! I ended up getting car sick on one of our drives (tip: bring Dramamine) and he was genuinely concerned about me and willing and ready to do anything to help me feel better. He drove slow the rest of the drive and I'm sure it took longer than planned to get to our destination, but it really did help me feel better.
He takes his job very seriously, and is committed to ensuring his clients have a trip to remember. It is very evident that he puts his heart into his job and doesn't just go through the motions. He really does care about the client and their experience.
I would absolutely recommend Kubwa Five Safaris to anyone. We have memories to last a lifetime!

Nice People Good Trip
When we arranged our trip, Joseph was very responsive and helped my Iranian wife get her visa. During the trip, our guide Samuel is a soft- speaking considerate gentleman. Generally speaking, in comparation with its neighbors, Uganda’s infrastructure is weak(especially the bumping road) , but its people are extremely warm-hearted, and its food is purely organic. We came on rain season, so the animals in Queen Elizabeth Park were sparse, while the Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking became easier, we found the gorilla in impenetrable park within 30 minutes.

Great trip perfectly organised
Our trip around Namibia was booked through Kubwa Five Safaris, main contact was Sylvia (from their sister company Ompo Travel). Everything was organised perfectly, Sylvia listened to our needs and constantly adapted the trip according to our (many) changes of mind, to ensure we could get the best out of it, both in terms of things to do and accommodations where to stay; but she also added her local know-how to advise our decisions on what really worth seeing and what to skip (given the limited time of two weeks). She was also very responsive, both prior the trip as well as during the trip, taking immediate action if needed (only once, due to a misunderstanding on the check-out from a lodge).
Namibia is an amazing place with plenty of wilderness and photo opportunities, and we have enjoyed it fully!

Amazing safari through 3 countries
Kubwa 5 did an amazing job planning our safari vacation. We had them arrange a 7 day trip through Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe that had a variety of activities from game drives, river cruises, quad biking, and more. Everything that they planned went super smoothly and all of the places we stayed were great! Kubwa 5 went above and beyond when our flight to Africa was cancelled and rebooked to a day later by rebooking all of hotels and activities to accommodate our unexpected change in plans. We were still able to experience our trip originally as planned thanks to their quick action to help us. We would definitely book with them again.

Welcoming and Hospitable
The itinerary was well prepared before our safari, and everything listed there was delivered as promised. It was an ideal adventure, filled with stunning scenery, the Big 5, and nature unlike anything we would ever seen.
The meals on our safari were great, and our guide was knowledgeable and helpful with our questions, in fact he never got tired of our questions. The rooms were pristine, and the bathrooms and showers were of excellent quality.

Wonderful safari itinerary, first class services and excellent team
My wife and I had a wonderful safari trip two weeks ago in Uganda. I have contacted 5 safari operators and evaluated the safari itinerary before the trip. In the end, we decided to select the 8 days safari luxury package from Kubwa 5 Safari. Kubwa 5 team, Joesef and Samuel, greeted us at Entebbe airport and we had a private land cruiser with open top. We went through Lake Mburo, Bwindi Forest, Queen Elizabeth NP and Kibale Forest. We encountered endless wild animals, such Gorilla, Chimpanzees, tree lions and many more. The Kubwa team is excellent, they are very knowledgeable, friendly and flexible when we want to change some stop point. they are also working hard and providing first class services.
One additional point we would like to thank Kubwa 5 team specially: they arranged a heart touching Batwa community visit. Before the trip, Kubwa 5 team informed us that we will visit Batwa community at Bwindi Forest and reminded us to being some gifts for Batwa people. We brought 10 solar powered lanterns from Australia, and Kubwa 5 team worked with local community guide and help us to present the 10 lanterns to 10 Batwa family. it became a heart touching moment when we saw the happy smile of Batwa people.

Highly recommendable
Various cat species were observed such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Apart of the big cats, we also saw animals. The most unforgettable experience was seeing a leopard chase an antelope.
The guide had a high level of enthusiasm and a willingness to accommodate our needs, ensuring that we had the most comprehensive safari experience available.
He ensured our sense of safety for the entirety of the safari and accommodated our requests to stop the vehicle for the purpose of capturing photographs.

Welcoming, organized and engaging the tour operator shared knowledge in an engaging, interactive way
Peter had exceptional proficiency in positioning us in close proximity to the game, displaying a remarkable sense of direction. During our observation, a significant number of animals and a diverse array of bird species were sighted.
We had the opportunity to observe the renowned "Big Five" creatures, an experience that left an indelible impression on us. Additionally, we had the chance to tour a Maasai village, engage in dialogue with members of the Maasai community, and get insights into their cultural practices and lifestyle.
The entire experience was quite enjoyable and filled with numerous thrilling encounters. The safari landcruiser provided a comfortable and spacious setting.
