I went with Kajie Safaries in July 2025.
The wheather was not as I had expected humid and hot but moderate temperature about 25-29 degrees celsius, only some few short rain showers.
Landscape was assoous: prairie in the middle, big lakes with lots of wildlife, waterfall of nile river, „impenetreble“ forrest , mountains near Rwanda
Most exciting different trackings to view wildlife eye to eye: rhinos, chimpansees, gorillas, golden monkeys, elefant. Was able to stand in a distance of 4- 20 meters away from those animals in Wildlife. Unforgetable

Uganda is heaven on Earth ~

The nature of Uganda is beautiful. The animals, mountains, rain forests, rivers, lakes, savannas, and BIRDS! I was not a big birder before, but the sheer cariety and abundance of bids is spectacular *download the free App: Merlin Bird id
I booked with African Adventure Travellers and worked with Brenda to set a preliminary itinerary. Then my guide & driver, Huzaima, refined it and made my safari something special. It really was like going on a 15-day road trip with a friend. He knew what I wanted to see and do and made every effort to make it happen.
Uganda is also a special place for its people. Everyone, everywhere I went from the national parks to local markets were exceedingly open, warm, welcoming, and friendly. Everybody is so quick to smile and wave, say hello and strike up a conversation. Uganda is a magical place in my heart and I cannot wait to return!!!

Go for the mountain gorillas, the rest is OK but Tanzania for the other animals if you can do both..

Our 15 days in Uganda were excitng and fun and the gorilla trek in the Impenetrable Forest was outstanding . Our lodges were mostly outstanding and the Turaco Treetops was the best. That said, some advice: Skip Kampala City, don't spend an hour more than required--there is nothing of real interest there--the "historical stuff" is lame, the sites unimpressive and and the rest of the city is just dirty and crowded and very, very poor. The botanical garden in Entebbe is nice-ish and do take the boat tour into Lake Victoria from Entebbe to see the Shoebill Cranes on your way in or home--amazing. Bring lots of cash in small denominations of shillings--the hands are always out and every place you go you will be assigned rangers, guides, helpers, porters and whatever (aside from your own guide). I spent over $700 in tips before my main guide tip of $300 (he was funny, not great, but he had our back). If this is your one trip to Africa you will have an excellent chance of seeing
Read more many of the main animals, but aside from the incredible gorillas you would do better in Tanzania (where we have also been). Last piece of advice, and I hate to say it, but don't fly Ethiopian Airlines if you have an alternative. Some parts of the experience are great but the customer support if anything gets messed up in the slightest is just awful (our seconf try with them).

We had a brilliant time in Uganda. We toured the country visiting many of their national parks on a 2 week safari trip. The people made us feel very welcome, always friendly & helpful. The gorilla & chimpanzee trekking is a must when visiting Uganda. We visited a gorilla family of 10 & was well looked after by the guides & guards who located the gorillas & chimpanzees. We felt safe at all times whilst trekking. The food in Uganda was very nice, including the local dishes. A big shout out to Ngoni Safaris for arranging our trip & to James out tour guide that looked after us & made us feel very welcome & safe at all times. Would definitely visited Uganda again & 💯 recommend if you are looking for an adventure ;)

We did a 13-night safari with Ngoni Safaris Uganda, and it was absolutely incredible. We trekked to see the gorillas and chimps (pictures and words can't describe what you feel and see). We walked with rhinos (with horns), white water rafting down the Nile, saw tree lions and travelled through the most beautiful scenic country. The Ugandan people are so friendly and at no time did we ever feel unsafe.
Uganda is a hidden gem and an absolute must see!

My husband and I did a 9 day tour of Uganda with Dav Safaris at the beginning of June. It exceeded our expectations. We arrived in Entebbe mid afternoon. I must say I found the whole process at the airport challenging and funny. After experiencing immigration queue jumpers, a whole family pushing in in-between my husband and myself, so I needed to wait for him to be processed before finding our bags, having our finger prints scanned and then trying to access our bags from the carousel where people blocked the carousel with at least 3 trolleys each, I thought to myself this is going to be an interesting trip. It also took me a couple of days to get used to seeing people (rangers, security guards and the like) walking around with machine guns. Just a heads up, you can only have 1 person at an ATM at a time. Well we started our trip with a visit to the rhino sanctuary, seeing so many rhinos up close was great and you could tell that the staff are very passionate about the conservation
Read more of and ultimately reintroducing them back into the wild of Uganda. With our tour covering Murchison Falls National Park, a boat ride on the Nile in Murchison National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, a boat ride in the Kazinga Channel , chimpanzees in Kibale Forest, gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Lake Bunyonyi, and Mabamba Swamp, we were able to see a large range of animals and birds. The animals seen included elephants, giraffe, rhinos, hyenas, lions, leapord, Jackson Heartbeast, crocodiles, Cape buffalo, Shoebill Stork, Thompson Gazelle, Civet, shell-less tortoise, warthogs, hippopotamuses, baboons, black and white Colobus monkeys, chameleon, chimpanzees and of course gorillas. Uganda is a bird lovers paradise, we saw at least 75 different bird species and we weren't even looking for birds. The people were warm, friendly and welcoming. They all seemed extremely happy and genuinely thankful that we chose their country to visit. The landscape of Uganda is gorgeous. Uganda has something for everyone and if you are only going to visit 1 country in Africa I encourage you to make that country Uganda.

Bwindi is unique and gorilla trekking is a once in a lifetime experience. Interacting with the Batwa people was also amazing and highly recommended!
