Michelle was extremely knowledgeable and made all our dream vacation come to life.
We were 4 veterinarians (ranging in age from 66 - 84 years of age). We had carefully researched options before contacting Michelle- we wanted several gorilla treks, a trek to see the golden monkeys, a tour of a chimpanzee refuge plus a visit with their veterinarian, a safari with lion researchers, a discussion with a mongoose researcher, and a visit to a gorilla doctors facility. All these were very specific and she came through with all of them and arranged sedan chairs for the treks for those of us who needed them. Did not know about the habituated gorilla family in Mgahinga and she suggested getting permits for there as well as Bwindi. This certainly was not "an easy canned tour", but Michelle listened carefully and tailored the trip perfectly for us. Michelle checked in with us regularly during the trip to make sure everything was going smoothly. She made all this happen within our budgets - Uganda is a real value for your money. After every adventure we all exclaimed that each one was even better than we had anticipated! Thank you Michelle for a trip of a lifetime!!!

Outstanding experience!
My wife and I did a 6 day safari in Rwanda and Uganda, which included golden monkey, chimpanzee, and gorilla trekking. It really was a trip of a lifetime! Simon, the owner, did a great job planning the itinerary, which included enjoyable accommodations and interesting activities. His exceptional communication leading up to the trip was much appreciated.
Isaac Habiyaremye, our guide/driver, was outstanding! He was incredibly helpful, was there for anything we needed, was knowledgeable about the animals and culture, and always made us feel safe. My wife and I both consider him to be a good friend after our week long adventures. I can’t recommend him enough!
In short, I highly recommend Amakula African Safari Company!

Great service
The communication via WhatsApp was excellent, both before departure and on the trip. I did the 2-day Hwange tour with them as well as the helicopter flight over the Victoria Falls for which they offered me a competitive price. I was a solo traveller and on two of the three Hwange safaris I was the only passenger. The guide was great. They were also found to be completely reliable: when I paid cash for the helicopter flight they didn't have change but they came to my hotel in the evening to give me the change and dropped me off at a nice restaurant!

Easy to work with and great experience
We had a wonderful time. Amazing animals - saw the big 5. Our drivers, Ben, Edson, and Ian, were all very kind and knowledgeable. Felix was very easy to work with when making our plans, and he made absolutely perfect arrangements for us.

Incredible 4 days off the beaten track in Nyerere National Park
I feel so lucky to have found Uwanda tours, and our amazing safari guide Kapande.
Getting a quote and booking the trip was easy, with Salumu responding to our requests very quickly and making sure we had the perfect rooms for our group (4 x adult female friends).
On the day, Kapande picked us up perfectly on time, and was an absolute gentleman. He kept his cool during Dar’s rush hour traffic, and navigated the smoothest possible route over the bumpy road to Nyerere NP. Once we arrived, his skills as a safari guide really shone and he took great effort to make sure we saw all of the species that were on our wish list, whilst being very mindful of the welfare of the wild animals we were seeing. He searched valiantly for leopards, lions and elephants, and his enthusiasm about our African Hunting Dog sighting was completely infectious.
The trip completely exceeded our expectations, we have a new friend in Kapande and will be dreaming of a return visit

An Unforgettable Experience with Emmy
Our family of four, including our two college-age children, recently returned from an incredible journey through Rwanda, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about our guide, Emmy. From the very first meeting to our final goodbye, he exceeded every expectation we had.
Emmy was the epitome of professionalism—always punctual, completely reliable, and impressively knowledgeable about Rwanda's history, culture, wildlife, and people. His deep understanding of the country brought every location we visited to life, and he answered our endless questions with patience and genuine enthusiasm. Whether we were learning about the country's remarkable recovery and growth, exploring its stunning landscapes, or going on our treks to see the gorillas, Emmy's expertise enriched every moment.
But what truly set Emmy apart was his warmth and genuine kindness. Within hours of meeting him, we felt like we were traveling with a dear friend rather than a guide. He had a natural way of connecting with each of us—engaging each of us in conversations about our interests, sharing stories and laughter, and making us all feel like part of his extended family. That personal connection transformed our trip from a standard tour into something truly special and meaningful.
Emmy didn't just show us Rwanda; he helped us fall in love with it. Our time in this beautiful country will stay with us forever, and Emmy is a huge part of why. If you're considering a trip to Rwanda, we cannot recommend him highly enough. He's simply the best.
Thank you, Emmy, for giving our family memories we'll treasure for a lifetime!
