They are the best
Our trip to Africa with Kubwa 5 was more than perfect and exceptional. If you are looking for and efficient, and well organized trip which can adapt to what you need don't look for anybody else, just talk to Kubwa 5.
We went to Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. It included gorilla, chimpanzee and rhino trekking. It included sunrises and sunsets and the best tour guides that will explain to you how the animals behave and what you want to know about them. We found tons of elephants, giraffes, hippos and of course lions and their cubs. The trip was excellent on timing, great food at great hotels and it was mindblowing when finding and connecting with animals. We were able to even see 3 lions eating a wildebeast, cubs and their mother lion protecting them and even to see how they hunt. Also, about 70 elephants drinking from the Nile river with hippos surrounding them, we saw eagles, ibis and all sorts of birds. We were able to walk with zebras, giraffes, antilopes and wildebeasts in safe environments. And at the end, what made our trip the absolute best for our lifetime is that our expectations were exceeded in all senses. About 9000 photos in around 21 days will help us remember emotional moments and full connection between us and the animals
Mustafa, Godffrey, Alpha and Joseph really took great care of us as our tour guides and we will cherish forever in our hearts this amazing trip. Thank you Kubwa 5 safaris for making this dream come true.

Kubwa Five was very open and honest about all aspects of the tour both before and during the trip
My wife and I went on a 7 day safari in Uganda. Our tour guide Steven was excellent. He was both extremely well informed and very friendly. He was helpful in explaining everything to us in great detail and made sure we were both comfortable and safe the entire time.

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.

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.

Unforgettable Experience
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.

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

An outstanding tour and travel company in Africa
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.
