Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, oh my!
4/5

First of all, I must say that I was very impressed with the communication and prompt response to all of our questions as we prepared for this adventure. The level of information we were provided left no questions unanswered.

This was more than just a safari, which I envisioned as sitting in a car and driving around, spotting animals all day. In addition to driving around, we rode bikes, took boat rides, ziplined, hiked, and enjoyed a balloon ride. It was an adventure of a lifetime!

We visited Uganda (chimpanzees and gorillas!), Kenya, and Tanzania and all of our guides were incredible. They were well-informed, kind, and put up with my sarcasm and my husband's terrible jokes. They were also good listeners to our needs. I particularly wanted to see cats in Tanzania and our guide spent the day making sure that I was not disappointed.

We chose the "luxury" option and I am still thinking back to several of our lodges and how breathtaking they were.

I would absolutely recommend KubwaFive Safaris to anyone. It's time to start filling the Africa Trip jar again!

An outstanding tour and travel company in Africa
5/5

Kubwa Five Safaris is a reliable source for all your travel needs; not only they being a reliable source but they provide excellent travel services as well.

We booked with them for a trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park, and we had a trip of a lifetime.

Activities were well arranged and we greatly every activity. The game drives and boat ride were outstanding; I saw animals that I had never seen.

We really like the hotel booked for us, Engiri safari lodge was great hotel with great customer care, and the meals were delicious. The lodge is in the middle of the park, and you get to see animals anytime passing by, elephants were grazing besides our lodge and one of the nights buffaloes grazed from the same place. I enjoyed seeing them grazing at a very close distance.

Thank you for an outstanding vacation to Queen Elizabeth National Park that you gave us.

We will book with you again in future; you guys are the best travel company in Uganda.

Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing and Wildlife Safari Experience. What a great vacation experience in Ta
5/5

Early this month we booked with this company for the Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing trip and a Wildlife Vacation.We started climbing the Mt. Kilimanjaro and then went for Wildlife game drives in Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park.We had a great experience climbing the Kilimanjaro. The guides, cook, and porter were all really nice, they did their best to enable all of us to make it to the summit in the best possible conditions! They took into account the individual needs of our group and were very calm and experienced in dealing with our concerns.We feel privileged to have experienced Mount Kilimanjaro with Kubwa Five Safaris and met such an amazing group of people. Thank you so much.The food was really good and varied, which in camps at 4600m is anything but easy.The game drives in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and lake Manyara were out of this world, we got an opportunity of seeing 4/5 of the big five (lions, leopards, elephants and buffaloes).And our guides Benson and Godfrey did so well in guiding and driving us, we had two jeep vehicles, they were very comfortable and we had internet connectivity in the vehicles so we were able to be in touch with people back home 24/7.Benson and Godfrey knew a lot about their country, wildlife and culture and we greatly enjoyed listening to them, they have great communication skills and very knowledgeable.The genuine care Kubwa Five Safaris shown to us made our experience unforgettable.We recommend you book your mountain climbing and wildlife vacation through Kubwa Five Safaris for a trip of a lifetime.We look forward to book with them again.

Unforgettable Experience
5/5

Our stay in various hotels became so much more than expected. The trip to Zambia became memorable because of Kubwa Five Safaris. Initially we planned our trip for 8 days and we extended it for 7 more days so that we could visit Botswana too. We had 2 of day of chilling in each country.
Innocent, our guide was a great guide, he showed us some places which were not part of our itinerary. He's a brilliant man who really loves where he comes from and did a spectacular job of making me love it too. I must say he's gem of a person and I will highly recommend that you plan out your trip with Kubwa Five Safaris for your amazing holiday in Zambia and Botswana.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience
5/5

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.
