Excellent experience - third time is a charm!
I just returned from accompanying a group to Uganda on mission work. At the end of these trips we always include a safari and I ALWAYS use Jewel Safaris. Dona is excellent at providing exactly what I want and need to make the trip memorable, exciting and safe. Dona is quick to respond to questions and requests and the value we receive for our money is outstanding.
I have had Moses Motavu as a guide each time and this trip we had the added pleasure of Benjamin as our driver! Both of these men are extremely knowledgeable and personable. They proved to be flexible and humorous as well. We had a GREAT time!
I'm returning again in August and will contact Dona and Jewel Safaris again -- and each visit hereafter! Thank you, Dona and your amazing staff!

Wonderful experience in Uganda
My 16 year old daughter and I had a remarkable vacation with Jewel Safaris. Not only everything was very well organized by Dona, but we felt that our guides Moses and Benjamin were also very flexible to meet our personal needs. They did their best to make this trip memorable. For two well-traveled people like us this definitely has become an unforgettable and adventurous journey that we will always remember. Both my daughter and I had been to Africa before and been on safaris but it was our first time in Uganda. We were pleasantly surprised by this wonderful country of happy people, crazy Kampala traffic, best mangos in the world and wholesome cuisine.
Dona was an excellent host meeting us in person and always checking if we were safe and satisfied with our travels. From his quick response to my first messages to drop off at the airport to fly home, his attention to detail and his consideration for his clients is exceptional.

Excellent
My partner and I went to the Queen Elizabeth National Park with the Jewel Safaris and our experience was phenomenal. The lodge was booked in time and service was exceptional. Eric was excellent in organising our trip, replying always on the same day. He made everything work according to our availability and our requests. We had Lazarus as our guide and driver who were also good people. He was great and we learned a lot about the region and about a lot of wildlife with him. I highly recommend Jewel Safaris as a tour agent and ask for Lazarus to be your guide, you won't regret.

Caution! Unsafe, unprofessional
Our (already beat up) safari vehicle broke down on the way which caused a 2.5 hour delay and a rush through the main site of Murchison Falls. The company didn't bother to send a new one so we had a 4.5 hour mechanics trip on the way home. We didn't feel safe (and the driver never turned the car off when we stopped because the mechanic told him not to). There were starter and wiring issues. This van had 365000 km on it - and the roads are rough.
The guide was lovely but the owner was untrustworthy and the way this was resolved was not satisfactory. Unprofessional, questionable safety. You'll get the same itinerary with better service elsewhere.
You can do better with another company - keep looking.
