Exceptional 11-Day Uganda Safari - Book with Confidence!
We have just returned from an incredible 11-day safari across Uganda with Wild Uganda Safaris, and I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough.
Like many UK travellers, I was initially a little apprehensive about booking directly with a company based overseas rather than using a UK tour operator. However, I can say without hesitation that Wild Uganda Safaris are completely legitimate, professional and trustworthy. From start to finish, everything was handled exceptionally well, and any concerns I had disappeared very quickly.
A special thank you to Ernest, who helped us put together an itinerary that worked perfectly within our budget while still maximising the wildlife experiences and activities. He was responsive, helpful and clearly understood exactly what we wanted from our trip.
The safari itself exceeded all expectations. Our guide and driver, Kasim, was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire trip. He immediately made us feel comfortable, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and was an excellent driver on some challenging roads. What really stood out was how much effort he put into ensuring we had the best possible experience. He frequently went above and beyond, adding extra stops and opportunities so that we could see even more wildlife and make the most of our time in Uganda.
Thanks to Kasim's expertise and determination, we were fortunate enough to see an unbelievable variety of wildlife. Highlights included lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos, jackals, hyenas and countless other animals. We were also lucky enough to see the incredible shoebill, which was a real bucket-list sighting.
For me personally, the primate experiences were unforgettable. Trekking to see the mountain gorillas was every bit as amazing as I had hoped, while spending time with chimpanzees and golden monkeys was equally memorable. The golden monkeys were an absolute highlight of the trip and something I will never forget.
Every day seemed to bring a new adventure, a new landscape and another incredible wildlife encounter. Uganda is a truly beautiful country, and Wild Uganda Safaris did a superb job of showcasing its diversity, wildlife and culture.
If you are considering a safari in Uganda, especially if you are coming from the UK and are unsure about booking direct, my advice would be simple: don't hesitate. Wild Uganda Safaris delivered an exceptional experience, excellent value for money and service that exceeded our expectations in every way.
A huge thank you to Ernest, Kasim and the entire team for helping create memories that will last a lifetime. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable Ugandan safari adventure.

Smooth safari experience
Super eagles was a great choice for a group safari on a budget with great value for price. They also organized for us a private transport at a good price with a very kind driver. Our jeep driver and safari guide was most knowledgable and his many years of experience made our safari incredible - we managed to see the big five in just two game drives! I would really recommend this agency.

Gilbert was the most professional and knowledgeable tour operator, absolutely amazing
Our tour guide Gilbert made our experience in the Serengeti an unforgettable experience, through his 13years as a tour guide he has accrued knowledge that not every guide will know. For every species we couldn’t identify and every question we had he knew the answer. His life of the party personality and his kind demeanour made the trip genuinely worth the price. Within the first day of the trip we had already seen three of the big five. Gilbert’s connections with our tour guides made it possible for us to see soo many things that not everyone gets to including not just one but two Leopards, the hardest of the big five to find and an animal that many people who go on safaris much longer than us never get to see. By the third day on our trip to Northern Serengeti within the first 15minutes of our trip to watch the great migration Gilbert knew all the best locations to watch the wilder beast cross and once again his connections with hundreds of other tour guides across Tanzania allowed us to see hundreds of wilder beast cross over the river within an hour of our arrival. While people with less experienced tour guides wait for days across week long safaris to see anything. On our fourth day we drove to ngorongoro to see the Rhinos the last of the big five we needed to see. Many people again wait several days to see a glimpse of Rhinos and we managed to see 5 within the first 4hours of our trip. Where Gilbert got us in the perfect position to take the best photos once again. His experience truly made our trip amazing!!!! Not to mention the once in a life time experience of watching an elephant herd of scare of a massive male lion trying to hunt their baby. His patience with our limited knowledge of the safari was great and at night time he was very conversational and willing to share stories of his experiences of his 13years on the job. If you ever need a guide to the safari Gilbert is your man for the job

Professional, motivational, knowledgeable
Excellent communication from staff and nothing was a problem to sort out. The guides and porters were thoroughly dependable throughout and couldn’t do enough to ensure our comfort.

Excellent
Ladi and the Almighty Kilimanjaro team were amazing in every aspect, it was a phenomenal trip and would highly recommend Almighty Kilimanjaro as a company. We completed the 7 day Machame route which gave us enough time to acclimatise and take in the views. As a result all three of us summitted. We found the group very welcoming and they went above and beyond to make it a great trip.

Anton had great hospitality!
We had such a great experience with Suricata Safari and would absolutely recommend them. We initially chose the company because the pricing was very reasonable, but the experience ended up being much better than we expected.
Our guide, Anton, really made the trip special. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and seemed to have an almost unbelievable ability to spot animals that we would have completely missed. He was also very patient and never made us feel rushed, whether we wanted to stop for photos, take a break, or just spend a little longer watching an animal.
We were lucky enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including many of the animals we had hoped to see before coming to Tanzania. Anton also gave us so much interesting information about the animals, their behavior, and the ecosystem, which made the game drives much more meaningful than simply seeing the animals from the vehicle.
Everything about the safari felt well organized, and we always knew what to expect for the day. It was an unforgettable experience, and we were very impressed with both Suricata and Anton. I would definitely book with them again!

Anton was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating!
We booked with Suricata primarily because of the competitive prices and good reviews. We had Anton as our guide and he exceeded our expectations. He clearly communicated the plan for the day each day, made sure we stopped when anyone needed a restroom break (or coffee), and most importantly we were able to see all the animals we were expecting to see on safari, and more. Anton also answered all of our questions about animals behavior. We highly recommend this tour.
