Murchison Fall NP with Jamal
5/5

I had the pleasure of travelling with driver and guide Jamal, while he was subcontracted for Kisoboka Tours.
Jamal is a caring and knowledgeable guide, and a safe driver.
During the safari tours he has a keen eye on spotting wildlife.

I was particularly impressed by the respect he pays for the safety of the visitors as well as the local wildlife. He speaksup if either visitors or colleagues do something that endanger either of the two.
Besides that he is a nice and sympathetic person as well.

I would certainly contact him if I wanted to see other parts of Uganda.

Amazing experience
5/5

I recently had the incredible opportunity to experience a safari in Uganda, and it was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was five-star.

Communication with the tour company was smooth and prompt, making it easy to arrange every detail. They were always responsive and accommodating, which really put us at ease even before our journey began.

The service we received throughout the safari was exceptional. Our guide, Elton, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. His knowledge about the wildlife and the landscapes was impressive, and he shared it with such enthusiasm that it made the experience even more enriching.

When it comes to value for money, this safari was more than worth it. We were taken to the most breathtaking spots, stayed in beautiful accommodations, and had experiences that will stay with us forever—all without feeling like we were overspending.

Elton was not only reliable but incredibly knowledgeable and personable, which made a big difference. His passion for the wildlife and local culture shone through, and he tailored the experience to suit our preferences and curiosities.

The tour itself was beyond words. From spotting the Big Five to witnessing stunning landscapes and vibrant ecosystems, every part of the journey was a highlight. Elton’s attention to detail and deep understanding of the area made every moment memorable.

If you’re considering a safari in Uganda, I highly recommend it—and if you’re lucky enough to have Elton as your guide, you’re in for a truly extraordinary experience.

Amazing tour guide, Jamal and Tubale gave us the trip of a lifetime!
5/5

The safari was an absolutely unforgettable experience. We got so lucky and saw the big five animals and many more!! It was such a unique experience being able to do a nature walk in Lake Mburo National Park and walk amongst the giraffes and many more animals! A personal highlight was gorilla trekking in Bwindi! I loved the boat safari tours as well, they were such a different way of viewing the animals- and the staff were so knowledgeable and helpful. My sister and I loved the White Nile Rafting on the Nile river - so lucky to have done this!

Jamal (our guide) who planned the safari went above and beyond to make this experience personalised for us. Jamal was super friendly and lovely throughout the trip and honestly made the experience so amazing. The lodges we stayed in were amazing, with so many differing environments and fantastic views. Thank you Jamal; this was truly the trip of a lifetime that my family and I will never forget!!!

Good tours in Uganda
4/5

We visited the chimpanzee sanctuary on the island and the rhino sanctuary at Ziwa Park. We were very well attended by Jamal and our guide Isac, whom I recommend. However, I do not recommend visiting the rhino park if that's the only thing you have to do and you are in Kampala. It's a 3-hour drive to the location, and once there, it's only a one-hour tour, then 3 hours back by van. We would have liked to do more tours in the park area, such as bird watching and the boat tour to see the shoebill. We had arranged with the agency to do these tours in addition to the rhino visit, but when we got there, they did not allow us to do these other tours.

Excellent guides for marvelous Safari experience
5/5

Last month I went on safari, our guide was Jamal. We saw all of the big 5, with a very special close encounter with a Leopard just a few meters away. Jamals tracking skills where excellent, he gave us great background information and ensured we had a great time overall! I highly recommend traveling with this organization!

Exceptional
5/5

Uganda the best country ever.
Africa experience. That is why we opted for a tour with a guide. And that was such a great experience. You will be picked up, driven everywhere So you can enjoy yourself optimally. You feel safe and completely unburdened.
The accommodations were beautiful. Everything is perfectly arranged. The food is delicious! And then the country itself, the culture, the people and all the beautiful animals , the ever green vegetation all this made my trip one of the most beautiful trips ever. And I have already seen a lot of the world. This 11 days tour has everything. It was very special to see the chimpanzees and gorillas in the wild.
We had a very nice guide Elton who was a good driver and also told us a lot about his country. And also about all the animals we saw. Also thanks to him. He knew where to look and could also communicate with other guides on the savannah. To be able to spot even more. And we also thought the price for this trip was very important. We got a lot for our money. All meals and water included, all accommodations, the entrances to the parks, the Permits for the chimpanzee trekking and the gorilla trekking. The car, the diesel costs. Everything all inclusive. I can recommend wild village safaris to everyone!

What a great trip to Murchison Falls. On the first day, we saw 4 of the big 5 and on the second day we added rhinos to the list. Excellent spotting and communication skills
