Fantastic
I had an incredible experience with Azas Safari! Their professionalism throughout the trip was top-notch, from the detailed planning to the expert guidance. The highlight was the gorilla trek—absolutely breathtaking! The guides were knowledgeable, ensuring we had a safe and unforgettable encounter with these majestic animals in their natural habitat. Highly recommend Azas Safari for anyone looking for a well-organized, thrilling adventure!

Fabulous on-the-ground experience in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Our 3-day fly-in Gorilla safari was an amazing experience. Adam, their driver/guide in Bwindi, is a fabulous representative for them and for Uganda as a whole. He could not have done more for us, and was completely reliable and there for us with information and support. Our accommodation at Mahogany Springs could not be improved on - it was simply the best - impeccable service, super friendly staff, brilliant rooms, and great food. Salvan, our local guide for the Community walk and the Batwa people visit, was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely pleasant to be around. What can I say about the Gorillas? WOW, what an unbelievable experience and a privilege to be able to experience. The organisation of the walk was first rate, our ranger guides were personable, helpful and supportive. They made the walk into the Gorillas, even the uphill bits, very enjoyable. I had a porter who carried my backpack and was always there with a helping hand and a push on the steep bits, for which I was very grateful. All in all, a fabulous on-the-ground experience.
Up until arrival in Uganda, I was the point of contact via email with Azas Safaris for our group of three, and they were always prompt in responding and answering my question fully which we all appreciated. On arrival in Uganda, they suddenly switched to WhatsApp messaging with another (male) member of the group, and things fell a bit apart in terms of what was promised (and included in the price). Our hotel in Entebbe got us to the airport in time for our flight, after Azas said they would pick us up half an hour before departure. They also brought our stored luggage to the airport for us on return. Both of these had been promised by Azas. We are all seasoned travellers so working with our hotel was no problem for us, but really might have been so for less experienced people.
The only other criticism, and it's minor in the whole scheme of things, is that they could have provided more information about the number of times we were expected to put our hands in our pockets while on the local walks. Australians do not have a tipping culture, and it was a bit embarrassing to not have sufficient small local currency with us.
Would we recommend Azas Safaris to other travellers - we most certainly would!! An unforgettable experience!!

The staff at azas safaris was amazing ! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone
Our trip to Uganda and Rwanda was amazing , at first we were hesitant to book via Safari booking because it was our first time , but we found azas safaris Uganda , they really had good itineraries. We chose a trip to Rwanda but simon customized it and added uganda. Double gorilla trekking (Uganda + Rwanda ) was phenomenal. Everything was arranged and coordinated perfectly.
It was an amazing experience not to worry about the quality of accommodation, the transport means and timely replies . We just focused on enjoying the trip. Jimmy our guide was amazing, he is well trained guide and driver
We absolutely recommend them to everyone
Thank you so much all.

Dream Africa Safari come true
This was our first ever holiday to Africa all the way from Portugal. From the time I started talking to azas safaris uganda team , from customary made itinerary, planning and communication was excellent.
We mostly preferred camping , and each camp had incredible staff , view , guides and accommodation. The food was amazing, uganda has organic food.
At each location we sighted different animal species , birds and plant life.
The organization of each camp were amazing, we enjoyed cultural diversity of Uganda , batwa people in Bwindi had an amazing story , Bigodi community activities in kibale national park was amazing.
And the highlight of all , gorilla trekking, what an amazing experience, it was worth every moment.
Thank you to each staff at azas safaris uganda and all people we had on our trip. We shall always share this experience.

Efficiency
I booked a safari with azas safaris Uganda in March 2024 , I wanted to spend summer holiday in Uganda. I searched them online via their website and on safari booking , they replied instantly and prisca made it easy for me to book the trip. They kept on giving me weekly updates about my trip until 15th June 2024 when I began my trip.
Fast forward , my 10 days trip was very well organized with nice hotels , I liked kyaninga lodge in kibale national park and mahogany springs hotels in Bwindi . The highlight of my trip was gorilla trekking in Bwindi and murchison falls , what a beautiful scenery .
My guide Jimmy was good , with best knowledge about animals , and a care full driver .
😊 our vehicle got stuck in a muddy road in kibale forest , it was a moment pushing it out from the mud with the locals .
I recommend azas safaris Uganda and jimmy the guide.

Alan was sweet and kind and knowledgeable and very patient!
They selected very beautiful lodges for us and a perfect itinerary where we got to see the gorillas and chimpanzees. We were more than happy with the service that we received. I would choose them again.

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!
