Jamal provided a very personalized safari adventure ensuring we experienced the best of Uganda
5/5

Jamal was an exceptional guide and from the moment he picked us up at the airport, he made us feel welcomed. It was a joy to get to know him over our 10 day tour and by the end of our safari Jamal felt like family! This was our first trip to Africa and Jamal made sure our experience in Uganda was one to remember. Jamal immersed us in the local traditions, city highlights, local foods, local shops/markets, and wildlife safaris. We always felt we were in good hands and even when we had truck trouble, or if we came across others having difficulty with their vehicles, Jamal was able to quickly identify the problem and lend a helping hand to get the adventure back on track again. Jamal even customized the tour on the fly to be sure our Uganda experience was complete.
Jamal was a great guide, who could make quick decisions and changes seamlessly to ensure the safari runs smoothly. I would recommend his company for your next Uganda adventure.

5/5

Wild Village Safaris and Jamal organised the best 14 day tour of Uganda for me and my family! It was wonderful. We trekked to the Gorillas and Chimpanzees, plus so much more! Jamal took such good care of us and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip and were safe.
I would highly recommend Wild Village Safaris!

We did a 7-day Uganda safari with Jamal in October 2023. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Uganda in the future. Jamal was a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide and we felt safe at all times throughout the tour. Excellent value for money!

Knowledgeable and experienced tour guide with awareness for guests preferences.
5/5

Me and my wife are experienced travellers and Jamal was absolutely among the best guides we have ever had. We had a 10 days tour around Murchison NP, Kibale, Queen Elisabeth NP, Bwindi and Mabamba. He has vast knowledge on wildlife and also a lot of experience on the field. This really helps him give the best guidance - knowing when and where we could find the animals we are looking for and recommending activities which are most appropriate for the time of the year. He is also in good contact with many local guides, which was vital for us to be informed what animals we could find and where we should look for them.

I am enthusiastic amateur photographer, and Jamal went above and beyond to help me take some great photos. He also quickly adapted to our routine (we just wanted to do more and more in this amazing country) and recommended the best experiences - including hiking tours, community tours, boat trips, and special game drives inside the park with local rangers. It was once in a lifetime experience.

All in all, Uganda has been the best travel experience so far for us thanks to Jamal, so don’t think twice about exploring this wonderful country with Wild Village Safaris :)

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.

I went to see the gorillas with Jamal and honestly it could not have been a better experience!

Super well organized based on what I wanted to do and the budget I had available he found amazing lodges and was available to make changes to the itinerary based on what I wanted to do!!


He is fun and kind and simply made the whole experience a unique one and so much fun!
