Safari
We did the 20 day Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. (Luxury)
And the reason why i give 4 stars and not 5 is because i think some of the Hotels could be better curated. Specifically the ones in Kenya and Bwindi (Uganda), Although they were good located inside the parks, they were a bit old. Not that they were cheap hotels, they must have been luxury at some point and they still hold the price tag. But i think it is worth exploring other smaller hotel/lodges with a boutique feel "understated luxury”, more personal. You can arrange all this with Joseph, because he wants to give you the best trip possible, i am sure of that.
The drivers/guides were professional and we got along with all 3 of them. Since the longest time was spent In Uganda with Samuel, we were sad to say goodbye to him at the airport after 12 days together. Samuel is a responsible and safe driver, polite, good sense of humor, a bit shy and a great smile.
Some of the hotels are upper mid range as specified on the list from the agency, and i was told that they choose this ones (instead of the luxury option) because of location. This is true for the 1st lodge in Murchinson National park. We only wish we would have had a little time to sit down and see the sunset over the river. The game drives can be as long or short as you want so one of the afternoons make sure you are back before sunset and take 20 minutes to sit outside and enjoy the views.
In Kibale, Uganda our tip would be to do the community walk (Note that the community walk can be as short or long as you want.) that afternoon instead of the next day after the chimpanzee trek. The reason being, that after the chimpanzee trek you can drive straight to Kyaninga and arrive there early. This is a beautiful hotel where you can do a few activities at the lodge….and we thought the setting is spectacular (they will also do your laundry complimentary so make sure you give it straight away as you arrive) We manage to be there by 13:00 and jump in the lake for a short swim, then we did a walk around the crater.

A very memorable trip
It is a very memorable trip for us and I think Joseph has us hooked to safaris. In fact we want to plan another safari trip with Kubwa Five Safaris. Our guide Joseph is very knowledgeable and experienced so we managed to learn the names of the variety of animals we spotted on our journey. Joseph also kept us safe and took good care of us during the trip.
We will definitely be back in Africa and book with this company.

Trip of a lifetime!
Our first trip to sub-Saharan Africa was a once in a lifetime experience. We took a 20 day trip through Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
Uganda provided great diversity, with some wonderful big game experiences as well as unique experiences gorilla trekking (very tough effort but worth every bit) and chimpanzees (a couple notches down the toughness scale, but still a sweat inducing effort). We were able to cap it off with a wonderful stay on the Nile river for two nights with enough white water to provide some wonderful sleeping sounds!
We then flew to Kenya. Starting first thing the next morning, we headed towards Maasai Mara for big game, especially big cats! We had a visit with a Maasai tribe, quite an experience. Many spectacular views, lots of hippos and pink flamingos than anyone could have thought existed.
We finished with a drive to Tanzania to experience the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. Lots of lions, wildebeest, zebras, and giraffe.
Our personal guide for Uganda was very knowledgeable and the head of the company made sure we had every amenity available to us. Our guides in Kenya and Tanzania were just as knowledgeable and took great care of us as well.
All in all, a great experience!!!

Fantastic
We had so much fun in this trip ! We were able to see the chimpanzees and the gorillas. It was an unforgettable experience. Amos and Joseph were incredible, they show us multiple parks and the culture of Uganda, we had so much fun, they really make you feel in family. Amos was very knowledgeable about the parks and animals, he was able to solve all our questions in addition of taking stunning pictures.The places we stayed were amazing, service was incredible, everything was very safe and clean.
We spent 7 days but it was not enough time. We went to Murchison Falls National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Kibale National Park, and Queen Elizabeth. The experience with the chimps and the gorillas is a MUST, we never thought that we will be having them so close and it was incredible. Thank you so much for this experience!

Uganda 8 Day Safari+Gorillas+Chimpanzee
A truly once in a lifetime tour, Kojoseph and Amos went well above and beyond in every facet of the trip. We always felt safe and that we were getting the best bang for our buck. The experience seeing the gorillas and safari and the falls was unforgettable and their attention to detail and customer service was beyond exceptional. I would wholeheartedly endorse them as a tour with my closest family and friends. Thank you Amos and Kojoseph for a remarkable experience! Came as strangers left as family.

A memorable safari
It was an awesome trip in Uganda as we spent four days exploring different attractions and most amazing were the Queen Elizabeth National Park and Murchison Fall National Park, which gave us a good sight of tree climbing lions in Ishasha, buffalo, elephants, hippo, different bird species and many other wild animals. This land locked country offers stunning scenery and she is a home of wide variety of primates including the charismatic chimpanzees in Kibale National Park. Moreover, we got the chance to see white rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.
Our guides were friendly and very knowledgeable about each attraction which made our safari more breathtaking. Visiting Uganda was indeed a lifetime experience.
We look forward to booking with you for another vacation in future.

It was an awesome trip
I was told by my friend that I should visit Uganda, the Pearl of Africa but I was reluctant at first until one day I decided to go for my vacation in Uganda and I can say that it was worth it. Thanks to Kubwa Five Safaris for planning my vacation and made it really wonderful as I got the chance to explore beautiful things found in Uganda. The amazing Murchison Falls found in most scenic national park, mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and other primates such as chimpanzees.
Trekking the Mountain Gorillas was an activity out of this world.
The meals were great and hospitality in hotels was excellent.
I recommend this company to anyone planning for a vacation in Uganda.

Amazing Safari Experience
This was a splendid getaway trip for festive season to view the wild. The game drive & boat cruise were both great. I am just looking forward to another trip with the Kubwa Five Safaris, many thanks for the well planned tour with you guys. The game drive early in the morning was the best, we got to see many animals as far as the eye could see. The guide was great at his explanation of the different animals.

Fantastic family trip
This trip to Murchison Falls National Park has been the best experience of our lives and we can't wait to come back and see more.
Our view of Uganda is cemented as one of the best places to visit, the people, wildlife and scenery is all spectacular. We couldn't have been happier with choosing Kubwa Five Safaris and her guides as the trip exceeded even our quite high expectations.
This company was very helpful and super responsive in setting up the itinerary. Kubwa Five had perfect recommendations for where to stay as well as what to do.
Patrick is a great guide who helped make sure that the entire tour went smoothly.
The attractions we had experienced were life changing! They were spectacular! I highly recommend Kubwa Five Safaris to you all.
