Amazing trip!
Right choice and right decision i would say. Because it was really right decision to choose this agency. Tour manager George was answering all questions 24/7. He did his best to give us the best value for money. Our guide John tried his best to show us big five and we saw it

Highly recommend Katona Tours
We had an amazing 11 day safari with Katona tours.
From when i started planning this trip with Jackie of Katona over 1 year ago, she was very responsive and helpful in answering my emails and handling all my requests prior to travel. We landed in Entebbe Airport on 9th and were met by our guide Kenneth and headed to Murchisson Falls National Park for a 3 night stay, Queen Elizabeth National Park for 2 nights and finally did the Gorilla trek in Bwindi staying at Rushaga Gorilla lodge.
We added a day in Entebbe to visit Mabamba for a shoebill tour which also turned out to be a great idea, saw the shoebill for the first time.
The whole trip was flawless and Ken was very knowledgeable and all the accommodation facilities were really nice more than we expected.
Our experience was incredible and i would travel again with Katona tours. Do not hesitate to contact them for a memorable travel experience.

Review about Kyambura Gorge by Zsolt Banyai
The most beautiful forest I have ever been to. Wide river meanders at th bottom of the gorge, hippos aplenty everywhere. Did not see the chimps, but saw a lot of birds, and some other monkeys. The view from the rangers HQ is breathtaking!

Review about Kibale National Park by Zsolt Banyai
Great place to see the chimps. I was lucky to see them 4 different times, as we hiked around the park. Sometimes they are high up on the trees, sometimes walking thepight the forest, it just depends on your luck. I also managed to see most of the other p images in the park, plus th great blue turaco around the park. Loved it!

Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Zsolt Banyai
Seeing the gorillas upclose is something that is hard to explain. We were lucky with the hike, after 20 minutes we already made it to the gorillas, but as far as I heard this is rather the apartment exception.
Be aware, that even during the dry season rain can happen anytime, like it did for me in Feb.

Review about Uganda by Zsolt Banyai
First of all, we have to define "safari destination". In my response, I rather took this as "wildlife destination", since neither Kibale nor Bwindi are really "safari destinations" for me.
I saw 10 different pimates, which is extraordinary. Plus, you have a chance of enjoying hippos, elephants, and even lions, and a great variety of birds making this an amazing wildlife destination.

Individual safari with very experienced guide
We booked a 4-days safari for 2 people with Captain Abdalla as our tour guide for the whole trip.
Communication: The communication before the safari worked out perfectly via Email and Whatsapp. Lennox from Axis was very helpful to adjust the itinerary and arranging the payments via our hotel in Kenia.
Service: Both car and driver were perfect for that long rides. Abdalla is a very experienced driver in all terrains and knows how to fix minor issues at his car by his own. We felt very safe and throughout the whole journey Abdalla explained a lot about the country, culture and of course animals. He was extremely passionate about the wildlife and nature protection.
Safari: Abdalla spotted so many animals without binoculars and at full speed. We have even seen many animals outside the national parks. No matter which park we visited, we had always the impression he knows most animals in person and can tell an interesting story about the animal, its family or its history. The hotel which where picked by Axis were all gorgeous. We went for the more luxurious accommodations and didn’t regret it a second. After our official safari, we were dropped directly at our hotel.
Recommendation: As the hotels where all extremely nice, it would have been worthwhile to stay there a bit longer. Either for a longer break (whole afternoon) between the safaris or an extra day in between. Maybe it’s worthwhile to offer a package with 4 nights as well to allow a bit more relaxation time between the long rides. We would consider that for the future! Especially as you can watch so many animals for the hotel ground as each accommodation was located in the parks
