Ngoni Safaris provides the ultimate Uganda Safari experience!
From the moment we were picked up at the airport until the end of our 10 day Uganda Safari, our trip with Ngoni Safaris was nothing short of amazing.
Our guide Allan was awesome. He knows so much about Uganda, and the various animals and birds you may encounter along the trip. He loves what he does and his passion for the Uganda Safari experience was inspiring. Allan may also have the best eyesight of anyone I've ever met which is helpful when spotting wildlife from the road. If you're lucky to go on Safari with Allan you will have a wonderful time.
We arrived in Entebbe a day early and we're thrilled that Ngoni planned an extra tour of Kampala with Allan during our free day.
Over the following 10 days we experienced everything we could have imagined and so much more. Sedrick Bwire and his team at Ngoni have curated a perfect mix of wildlife safari experiences, cultural and historical tours and a few other fun stops along the way. The lodges ranged from rustic to luxurious but always had incredible staff, amenities, service and security. The delicious local food, along with other international offerings were some of the best I've ever had.
It's hard to believe we coordinated this entire journey with Sedrick over WhatsApp. He answered dozens of our questions and even came to meet us before we left Kampala.
We will be sharing our itinerary with all of our friends and highly recommend Ngoni Safaris for your African adventure.

A great day in Ngorongoro
We were very lucky because of OMARY, our guide/driver. He was very humble with us. He tried to show every animal with the best angle and he “fought” for our place, friendly! He explained a lot of things about, hienas, elephant, lions…

Knowledgeable guides, unforgettable experience
My girlfriend and I did a 3 days safari at Nyerere with Nkollo Tours, and it was an unforgettable experience! The transfers where smooth and Our driver Keresa and David the guide, were both fantastic knowledgeable, engaging, and always ready to answer our questions. They ensured we saw as many animals as possible, and David was an excellent spotter. Thanks to him, we saw lions with their cubs, along with giraffes, monkeys, impalas, buffalo, wildebeests, zebras, and even warthogs!
Our driver, Keresa, was also great very safe and professional, making our journey through the park comfortable and enjoyable. The selous safari lodge was lovely and relaxing, complete with a pool, which was perfect after a day of exploring. We loved the atmosphere with the playful monkeys running around. The food was delicious too
The boat safari was another highlight, with a guide who shared fascinating insights about the various animals and their habitats. However you get to see few animals. The walking safari was fascinating,a bushman whose lively personality made the experience unique and memorable.
Overall, it was an incredible adventure, and we highly recommend Nkollo Tours to anyone looking to explore Nyerere park. They truly made our holiday.

We did our homework...Narrowed Down to Elephant Herd from 5 vendors, NO REGRETS!!
We first found out about Elephant Herd "EH" through Safari Bookings. We have reached out to approximately 5 service providers, and ultimately settled for Elephant Herds for 3 simple reasons:
1) Fast Bias of Action
2) Customer-Oriented/Hospitality
3) Price - Experience Ratio
Where it took us about 3-4 days on average to hear back from other providers, EH on average came back in 0.5-1 day, with very concise and informative experience. Not only was Bev super patient, she was practical - and even proposed a couple version of itineraries to our needs.
We coordinated with Bev, and found out it's a relatively cozy family-owned dedicated team, where they focus on the quality instead of quantity of service. For example, due to a delay of flight from Europe, we missed Day 1's night safari drive - team EH was proactive enough to suggest on their own accord a replacement in Day 2, allowing us the full experience, we even had the owner Brandon picked us up one of the evenings himself.
In terms of Price - Experience ratio, team EH ensures the best - for example, in typical Kruger safari drives - most cars would be loaded to the maximum of 9, whereas in EH, they focus to ensure no more than 6 per jeep. These are the small little things that stands out.
We also had a lovely time with one of their guides, Bhekifa, and it felt more like a tour with a long lost friend, that has deep knowledge and great hospitality across.
Once again, a big thank you to team EH for the fantastic experience - they may not be the biggest in the industry, but they are certainly big in EXperience and ensuring a great memory in Africa.
