Unforgettable trip to Uganda!
We had the most beautifull experience in Uganda! In 3 weeks, we enjoyed Sipi Falls, Kidepo NP, Queen Elisabeth NP, the magnificent Murchison Park and the Falls (never seen such a stunning and powerfull Fall!), Kibale NP, with an unforgettable Chimpansee tracking!! We enjoyed a boatride on the Nile, a boatride at the Kasingachannel, we will never forget the stunning Gorillatracking, it was amazing!! Our last 2 days we stayed at M’Buro Lake NP.
we saw many buffalo’s, Lions, lions with cobs, a Leopard with a kob, snakes, hyena’s, girafs, zebra’s, Topi’s, impala’s, elands, elephants, hartebeests, lot’s of hippo’s, many, many little and very big birds, crocodiles, ….
We visited a school
We visited a coffee plantation and a banana plantation and we went to a community centre for women, we had also a tour with the very friendly Batwa people
The weather in september was very good, warm but everyday a little or a less little shower.
The local people were very friendly. Everyday, we had excelent food in the lodges and on the road.
The roads are very bad, you definatly need a 4wheeldrive and a local driver.
Thanks to Azas Safaris, our trip was well organised and we had the best driver/ranger Christopher!
We definitaly recommand Azas Safari! We might contact them to maybe organise our trip to Tanzania!

Unforgettable trip in Uganda!
Thanks to Azas Safaris we had an unforgettable tour in Uganda! Everything was arranged down to the last detail, the lodges they suggested were more than excellent, the trip was varied and they took our wishes into account, both in advance and on site. Our driver/ranger Christopher did everything he could to make the trip unforgettable. He is a good driver and explains a lot, knows how to find the animals and birds and does not impose himself.

Reliable & excellent service
My husband and I booked our travels to Uganda with Azas Safari and it was such a soul-filling and memorable trip for us. Of course, we went for the gorilla trekking and we went for 3 days trekking package.
Prisca helped us plan our stays and trip. She was very informative and attentive with all my questions. Our guide in Bwindi, Julius is immensely friendly and helpful. We stayed at Buhome Lodge and everything there was amazing. From service, cleanliness, food, and the people! We are beyond grateful to be surrounded by lovely people in Uganda. Simon was very accommodating too with our airport transfers and entebbe transits.
Needless to say, gorilla trekking was 10/10.
Overall it’s definitely a trip we won’t forget. We thank you everyone involved. It was short but sweet!

Enjoyable trip to Uganda
Did a week trip with my partner to Uganda.
Visited Bwindi (Gorilla's) - stayed at Mahogany Springs Safari Lodge. The lodge was 10/10, food, service, view. Would love to go back.
During time in Bwindi we did the Batwa Culture Experience, really didn't know what do expect but was one of the highlights of the trip. The history is kind of sad but the people were amazing.
Gorilla trek - 10/10 no real need to explain.
Visited Kibale National Park. Started at Turaco Treetops, ideally would have stayed there longer, only one night which meant we missed out on spending more time with the birds and view. Food also excellent!
Finished at Murchison Falls National Park. Game drives was awesome, felt a lot more natural than in South Africa. River Cruise was spectacular, loads of birds and hippos, elephants etc. Stayed at Pakuba Safari Lodge, the lodge itself was the least modern of the three (although only one with air con), but the service was awesome. Food was mostly buffet but the standard of food was still very good. One thing I really enjoyed about Pakuba is all the guides eat dinner with the people they are hosting, there is something really nice about that.
Our guide was Muhumuza Christopher 'Chris'. His knowledge of Uganda history was excellent, his animal knowledge was also almost flawless (we did manage to spot one bird that neither he or we could identify and he spend 30 minutes looking through books, checking with fellow guides etc to make sure he gave us the right information), but probably his best skill was spotting animals. He spotted a lion in a tree that many other guides drove straight past and he could see small birds in trees miles away. If you are looking for someone who is an expert in guiding he is your guy.
Chris is also super passionate about Uganda which I really loved. There is nothing more special than someone that takes such pride in what their country has to offer.
Only a couple minor issues with the tour, they misbooked our return flight which meant we had to drive it. Not the biggest issue but a minor annoyance.
Secondly I think we could have done with a bit more guidance on the tour, we probably ended up travelling a bit more than we first thought, but also could have done with a bit more advice on where to go and the route to take. That being said I enjoyed every minute of it but some people might not want to sit in a car for so long.

Amazing Uganda trip in every way....
6 days trip to Uganda is a story I will always tell. Thanks to Prisca and Chris, I had no knowledge about Uganda, I contacted Prisca the manager of the organization (Azas) to make for me best itinerary that covers primates and wild life, she made for me a good plan that covers all of them, I wanted a budget trip and Prisca booked for me midrange hotels what a great organization, more so I went on a trip with Prisca her self and Chris a guide, Chris is amazing, he tries his best to make a trip amazing, a prompt pineapple party was amazing :), also Prisca was amazing , since I was alone, Prisca decided to travel with us, Uganda is blessed with gorillas, chimpanzee, wild life and amazing communities.

Amazing 3 days with my wife. Thanks Simon!
Amazing 3 days in Tanzania, me and my wife had a dream to visit Tanzania and have a hot balloon flying around serengeti national park, Azas safaris made it possible . We contacted Prisca through a friend who did the same trip before and Prisca did the best for us, we were picked from Kilimanjaro airport, Cyrus our guide first took us to sight mountain Kilimanjaro and later headed to our lodge in Arusha , the following morning we headed to Serengeti national park, and had an evening game drive and we saw wonders, what a plenty of animals, many wild beasts, a lot of zebras, lions, Buffors, indeed Serengeti is a game park of wonders, the following morning which was our last day, we had a hot balloon safari, it's amazing , it's a recommendable activity to everyone dreaming of visiting Serengeti national park, thanks to our guide Cruys, he's so good in describing animals and their behaviors, he helped us too feel at home, and taught us some Kiswahili, habari :) meaning how are you.
We can't wait to visit Tanzania again, and also Uganda because Simon the owner of Azas described Uganda and we desired to visit it one day, I recommend Azas safaris Uganda.
All over the trip was amazing!
I recommend Azas safaris Uganda, I booked a trip with Azas , since i was lone. I requested Prisca to help me join a group. The trip was amazing,
I could say the accommodation was good, food was good, our guide Christopher was good and a good driver.
Prisca always communicated to me in time and always updated me how far my bookings for the trip was going. I liked chimpanzee trekking and bigodi community in kibale where experienced how that community lives.
Late we headed direct to bwindi and we did an amazing gorilla trekking, we were lucky to have seen more than one family of gorillas, they have a great history and amazing to watch,
I highly recommend Azas safirs Uganda for its tremendous work towards hosting us in Uganda.

I will come again in Uganda with Azas safaris.
After my Tanzania internship, I had a plan to visit Uganda, most especially to bwindi national park to check gorillas. I went on internet , and checked out different trips, and chose 3 days trip to visit gorillas, Azas safari Uganda had a good itinerary with a good price since I was a budget traveler and a student. I thank Prisca who was always replying promptly and all my arrangements were awesome, she arranged for me Buhoma community haven lodge which is a good midrange lodge and all people at the hotel were hospitable, I loved the local food, it's so organic. On our way back Chris my guide and Prisca , gave me an extra visit to lake Mburo national park at no cost , Which was amazing , giraffe and zebras are amazing calm animals.
I thank Azas safaris Uganda for making my trip easy and arrangements so smooth. I recommend every first time traveler to Uganda to use Azas safari uganda. I left Uganda when my trip was so sweet, I can't wait visit Uganda again and move to more places. Every one was talking about Murchison falls national park. Am eager to visit it. Bye

A memorable and satisfying safari in Uganda with my wife.
It was a great 8 days self drive trip to Uganda, me and my wife contacted Azas safaris Uganda last year in June to organize for us a midrange self drive trip to Murchison falls national park, kibala national park, queen elizabeth national park, bwindi impenetrable forest national park and lake bunyonyi. It was a great trip with careful organisation. We told Prisca to get for us a four wheel vehicle that wold not have any mechanical conditions and it was amazing , the vehicle was fantastic, we also asked Prisca to book for us accommodations(midrange) and buy us all the permits, which was organised so well.
We thank Azas safaris Uganda for preparing for us a great trip.
Uganda community is amazing, people welcome us and interacted with us, we visited Buhoma community, Bakiga community and Kabila eccommunity which was a unique adventure for us.
We recommend everyone to contact Azas safaris Uganda especially madam Prisca for a well tailored self drive trip Regards.
