The most amazing experience
Peter is a truly great guide, from the time I made my initial enquiry right up to the end of the trip. He was friendly, communicative, passionate, professional; and made sure that all my interests were included and within my budget. I asked for a hard trek, he made it happen! It was truly an unforgettable experience.
The booking process was super easy, Peter and his team provided detailed information and tips on what to expect and how to prepare, ensuring I felt ready for the journey. Amazing accommodation, beautiful locations and delicious food.
I wish I could do it all again! I can’t thank Peter and Buyaga Safaris enough!

Amazing experience!
Uganda is incredibly beautiful and a Paradise for nature and wildlife lovers. Peter was always trying to be available for us during the trip pero and went beyond the line to exceed our expectations. Derick, our guide, was simply AMAZING. We really loved him being our guide. He explained many things to us and is very easy going not to mention his driving skills. Thank you so much Buyaga team and be sure we will come back and ask for Derick to be out guide in Uganda/Rwanda.

Very reliable and flexible tour operator providing the best services, always on time
I arranged my termin with Peter and he was ready to meet and go through the program before my departure, even adapt the program according to my wishes. He replied immediately to all my questions either via email or per whats app.
I was travelling with Mr. Anderson and we had very nice time I would say we even became friends during the whole trip so there was no lack of communication. My 9 day program was very intensive and I managed to see almost everything I wanted. The only factor that nobody can predict is the weather. I personally think the money was adequate for what I saw and what accommodation and food I had (much better than I expected) I could rely on Anderson anytime and I enjoyed the trip very much. He also had a very good knowledge about the country so he guided me often himself.
The only thing which everyone has to be aware of is the tips for tour guides/rangers, which are expected basically everywhere, however, it is also written in the contract, but might increase your expenses.
Thank you Buyaga for making my trip so adventurous and complex. I had opportunity to see really a lot.

Excellent Company & Guide
I booked a 6 day safari including chimp and gorilla trecking as well as activities in Queen Elizabeth National Park. From the start Peter Amanya was super helpful and facilitating to my needs. He was quick to reply and helped out with last minute visa issues making the whole thing stress free and inspiring complete confidence with his total professionalism.
My guide, Alex, was amazing. I could tell from the start that he was a really professional guy and for the whole time I was with him there was not a single thing I had to worry about in terms of organisation or admin. He was great at little things, and I found that by the time I'd even thought of something he had already arranged everything.
The hotels chosen were all great, as was the food throughout. Alex really knew what he was doing on the game drive and was genuinely enthusiastic about making sure I saw the animals I was there for. I also really enjoyed the crater tour in QE National Park and the boat tour.
Overall I highly recommend both Buyaga Safaris and Alex as a guide. There is no shortage of activities in this region and next time I am back I will go back to Buyaga safaris without hesitation!

Amazing tour was much more than I expected!
My driver Azariah was simply amazing. Very helpful, informative, and caring. The organizer Peter was very courteous and answered all questions promptly and was an immense help when I had issues with my visa. I was so grateful couldn't thank him enough. I would highly recommend buyaga tours to anyone interested in a tour in Uganda.

A very friendly and personal safari in the Pearl of Africa.
I went on a solo Safari with Buyaga. I booked last minute as I had some changes of plans. The prompt communication and value for a 12 day solo safari was pretty incredible. The tour was really great I am really happy with our time exploring the many national parks looking for wildlife in Uganda's many parks. Some highlights were Chimpanzee's, Mountain Gorillas, Red Tailed Monkeys, Lions, Barbets, and Golden Monekys.

Lovely tour with Peter
Had an amazing 2-night solo gorilla tour with Peter. Always felt safe and in good company! Always timely as well. Peter was happy to answer any questions I had and taught me a lot about Uganda during our many hours spent on the road.

Reliable and customer oriented service.
Our tour started in Sipi and went to Kidepo NP, Murchison Falls NP, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and ended in Entebbe. As my wife and I came on our own from Kitale to Sipi the tour had to be planned according to our ideas. Emmanuel was our tour guide and driver. He is very resourceful and flexible and showed us many highlights especially in Kidepo NP. He knows the place very well. We had an extended stay in Kidepo and Murchison. It's worth to be there a bit longer as a "normal" tour suggests. The tour was well organized, the lodges were nice and convenient. Communication with Peter from Buyaga for planning and fixing the tour was easy and fast. We really enjoyed our stay in Uganda.
