Reviews
Kajie Safaris helped enhanced my travel experiences in Uganda
Ronnie helped to organise my safaris to Kidepo and Lake Mburo, gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park as well as site-seeing visits in Lake Bunyonyi and Kampala. Ronnie is an extremely friendly and sincere tour guide. When you talk to him, you feel that he is listening to you, which not only makes for good companionship on the long drives but also enables him to tailor the travel to suit your interests. This is key; he has the knowledge and the contacts to make your trip to Uganda a better experience. He does this in a way that is not stifling, or pressuring you in any way to go to certain places or do certain things. He just facilitates the discussion to find out what you want to get from your Uganda experience, and then does his best to make it happen. During the visit itself he is flexible, willing to adjust the programme to match changing expectations. He is also extremely patient. I never once saw him lose his temper or get flustered, even in some stressful driving situations, which has the effect of making you feel at ease and enables the whole experience to be more enjoyable. I therefore highly recommend Ronnie and his company to all travellers going to Uganda.

Incredible, perfect!
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Kajie Safaris — from the very first email to the full planning process, everything was smooth, professional, and exceeded our expectations. During the trip itself, everything ran perfectly, and it was clear how carefully every detail had been thought through. The lodges and activities were all perfectly chosen.
A special thank you to our guide, Eddie. He was outstanding — always friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and generous in sharing insights about wildlife, nature, and the country. His driving was consistently careful and made us feel safe at all times.
And honestly — he is a master at spotting animals! His eye is unbelievable. He would find wildlife we would have never seen ourselves, making every game drive exciting and memorable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Good
Quite a good experience.
- Safari guide was very helpful and flexible. Thanks to that flexibility the quality of experience can vary quite a bit by the choice that the traveler makes. Perhaps what could be improved is to communicate available options and their experience value more clearly.
- We relieably saw everything we were supposed to see and managed to squeeze in a few extras.
- We had mid-range or upper mid-range lodges. I think they were good enough and by paying much is mostly pointless for most travelers unless they are very demanding. Some evenings it was nice to have nice lodge to relax but overall the time spent in lodges was quite limited.
- Uganda itself is quite a good value for money and has gorillas and chimps on top.
Some tips:
- Balance taking time looking at animals and birds that You do find and rushing around trying to see something better which can become exhausting after a while. We spent quite a bit of time chasing leopard, but perhaps a bit too long. Thankfully, Queen Elizabeth park had predator tracking tour available (big cats wear trackers around neck) which make locating them easy if You choose to go on this tour. It costs over 200 euros per person but I think it is worth it.
- At least 1 night game drive is good to have as it is different experience.
- Try to step out of car few km before your gorilla lodge and walk up to the lodge. The views are good.
- We managed to squeeze in shoebill sighting on the last day's afternoon and got a very good view of a shoebill.
- Kampala is worth visiting couple of days, but it can be a bit scary for traveler not used to chaos of developing country city.
- Drink as much Divine Bushera as You can.

An amazing trip that will stay with me forever!
Firstly, I was a female solo traveller that had never done this type of trip before.
I chose the 11 day trip with Kajie Safaris.
I primarily chose Uganda because I wanted to experience and see the mountain gorillas. I did not really know what to expect other than I would see amazing wildlife. I chose this company from the reviews and also how they replied to my emails so promptly and how friendly the replies were.
I was blown away by the service I received. I had my own driver called Arafat…. who was amazing, so knowledgeable, friendly and as a solo female I felt exceptionally safe. I would 110% recommend this company and Arafat…..
The accommodation was exceptional and the food was always a very high standard. The staff at the lodges were always friendly, helpful and had great smiles!
I am still on a high from all my experiences and would highly recommend Uganda and Kajie Safaris as a place to visit and create amazing memories !
Thank you Kajie Safaries and also Arafat !!

Kajie Safaris combines great guides, beautiful lodges, and perfect planning for an amazing safari.
Our 11-day safari took us from the Mabamba Swamps near Entebbe to Lake Mburo National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, and via Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary back to Entebbe.
Throughout the trip we were constantly amazed by the incredible variety of wildlife and the breathtaking landscapes Uganda has to offer. Combined with the welcoming warmth of the staff at the carefully selected lodges and the kindness of the Ugandan people in general, it creates a truly special travel experience.
The absolute highlight of our trip – and probably of all Uganda – was the gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Sitting just a few meters away from a gorilla family and observing them quietly in their natural habitat was an unforgettable and deeply moving experience.
Eddie and the team at Kajie did an outstanding job making this trip perfect for us. From selecting beautiful lodges and organizing little surprises for our honeymoon to driving us safely across the country and, last but not least, helping us spot all of the Big Five.
We are incredibly grateful to Eddie, Ronald, Maxine, Josephine, and everyone behind the scenes at Kajie for creating such a wonderful and seamless experience. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Uganda.

Exceptional trip through Uganda with the best company and guide
Our 11 day trip through Uganda with Bob was an absolutely incredible experience. Our guide did an exceptional job in providing the most personalised and special moments for us. Every hotel was great, every ride was interesting and every Game Drive offered a new highlight. We saw all big five animals and more and some even so close, we still cannot believe it. The execution of the trip and the communication with Kajie was smooth and always very quick. We will be an advocate for Uganda, Kajie and Bob in particular who made our vacation memorable for ever.

Amazing
We had an amazing gorilla safari experience in Uganda, and we were extremely satisfied with the entire trip. Everything was very well organized, and we felt safe and well taken care of from start to finish. Our guides, Sualit, Jamal, and Joan, were absolutely fantastic — professional, kind, and always attentive to our needs. They truly went above and beyond, especially when they helped us resolve an issue with our lost luggage, which took a lot of stress off our shoulders. Their support, knowledge, and positive attitude made this journey unforgettable. We highly recommend this gorilla safari to anyone looking for an incredible adventure with outstanding guides and excellent care.

Highly Recommended
From start to finish we were very impressed with Kajie. They had excellent communication throughout the booking process and were very quick to respond to any enquiries. Our tour guide, Bosco, was intelligent, informative, friendly, kind, fun to be with and so knowledgeable about the local wildlife and particularly the birds. We have never experienced such a variety of animals and birds in one tour. Anyone interested in birds should request Bosco!
We had amazing accommodation, an excellent itinerary and a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend Uganda and Kajie to anyone considering a visit to this wonderful country. One of our all time best holidays.

Amazing African Safari Gorilla Adventure! Thank you, Sulait!
I was fortunate to come across KAJIE Safaris on Safaribookings.com when looking for a Safari to fulfill a lifelong dream of visiting the gorillas in the wild. I’m so glad I did! I didn’t have a lot of time, so I selected the 5 day, primate- focused safari in Rwanda and Uganda. It was amazing! Sulait was my guide and he far exceeded my expectations! The tour included treks through three beautiful National Parks of Rwanda and Uganda to see the Gorillas, the Chimpanzees, and the Golden Monkeys! Sulait made each day and each experience seamless - from time schedules, to paperwork, to communication between parties, to crossing the border into Uganda. When there were options for a particular experience, Sulait advocated on my behalf. In times where I wasn’t quite sure what to do next, I would look up and Sulait would appear and be there to lead me to the next step. He delivered a great client experience and was exceptional at anticipating all my traveler needs.
The accommodations were wonderful, tucked away in the jungle close to the Parks with a great nature ambiance. The rooms were clean with nice, culture- specific decor and were supplied with everything I needed or wanted. The service was truly exceptional at each location!
Thanks Sulait for a great experience! I highly recommend Sulait and KAJIE Safaris!

Excellent communication! Well run.
Excellent quick communications! Super fast to respond to emails. Ronald, Justine, and Maxine all responded to my emails very quickly, which when talking with other people is not always the case.
Initially started as a solo trip and picked up 2 people as the trip neared. Added two people no problem and they were even able to secure a Golden Monkey permit after they were sold out when my cousin decided to join us 12 nights away from the trip. They worked very hard to make the safari what we wanted.
In the planning I changed the itinerary to exactly what I wanted and they do it with no hesitation.
We a did a quick 5 night safari as didn’t have a ton of time off. Safari was well run, and they clearly have experience doing this before. Benjamin, our guide, really worked hard to help me get the pictures I wanted. The lodges were all very nice and have no complaints there. I would recommend them with no problem.
Really a great trip overall.
