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.

Unforgettable memories
My wife and I had a trip of 9 days of safari with buyaga. The owner, Peter was so good at responding everytime we needed anything. He was very nice and helpful. Our guide Derrick was very experienced in his work. We had a very adventurous and unforgettable time with him. In 9 days we visited Ziwa rhino sanctuary, Murchison falls, Chimpanzee tracking at kibale national park, Queen Elizabeth national park, Gorilla tracking at Bwindi impenetrable national park and lake mburo national park

Good value, enjoyable tour
I chose Buyaga because they offered the itinerary I was looking for at better value than other companies. Peter was very quick to respond to my many questions before the tour started which was really appreciated.
Overall a really enjoyable tour. Uganda is a beautiful country. Sometimes the timings weren’t as described in advance or in the itinerary but after the initial mismatch my guide made sure we went through the next days itinerary at dinner. He was also always concerned that the tour was going well and I was enjoying it. Some really lovely hotels on the way - not luxury but almost and with some amazing views and lovely people. I would definitely use them again.

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.

Highly recommended
Peter organized a tour according to my individual wishes: a 3-day trip to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the gorillas. Exactly what I wanted. He responded promptly to my email inquiries. Peter is a reliable and friendly tour guide. And he has chosen very nice hotels. Good value for money! Next time I (hopefully) visit Uganda, I won't hesitate to book another tour with Buyaga Safaris.

A wonderful trip with a outstanding tour operator
We have chosen Buyaga Safaris for our 11 days Uganda tour.
We have visited the major national parks such as Murchison fall, Kibale Forest, Bwindi impenetrable forest, lake Buyonyi and lake Mburo.
Since the beginning Peter has provided a lot of useful information to arrange our tour and satisfied all our requests on the changes for the accommodations.
On top of this, our guide Derrick really made our days special! He is a young man really kind, polite and passionate about animals and his country, always providing us details about everything we saw. He has always been really attentive to our needs and security, and we really felt secure traveling with him.
We loved everything we did in our 11 days tour from the activities, places and accodomations arranged by Buyaga so we strongly recommend this tour operator.
Last but not least, we will never forget the beautiful Uganda landscape and people from different communities who has always welcomed us with a big smile!

Buyaga Safari is a very reliable tour operator who guaranteed us a wonderful stay in Uganda.
With of 4 friends and I spent 10 wonderful days in Uganda in the company of Peter, who was our guide, driver and ultimately irreplaceable "gang member":)
Even at the stage of searching for the right package for us - Peter's offer turned out to be the most advantageous of all. And I checked 10 tour operators. Peter is a very communicative person who answered every question I had very quickly. He also helped us to organise things outside the safari package.
The whole trip was beyond our imagination. Uganda is beautiful. The encounters with chimpanzees and gorillas I will never forget. It was a big dream of mine and Buyaga safari helped me to fulfil it. I was also hugely impressed by Murchison Falls National Park and the waterfalls themselves. Anyway, each point of the programme is a separate adventure. On all the game drives Peter made sure we were accompanied by park rangers who were very familiar with the ecosystem there and had a wealth of knowledge about the wildelife.
All the lodges along the route were comfortable and served delicious meals. Most were characterised by a spectacular location that you won't find outside Africa.
Finally Peter himself, a super positive character, punctual, well organised, with a great sense of humour. Thank you for everything:)
