The best people to show you the Pearl of Africa
I went on an 11 day safari visiting Kampala, Jinja, Lake Mburo NP, Bwindi NP, Queen Elizabeth NP and Kibale NP.
Communications with Ngoni were prompt and easy from the start. As soon as I made my booking, Sedrick contacted me through WhatsApp and guided me through the rest of the process. Leading up to the tour he made sure I was well-prepared to begin. He was always very clear and friendly. Service was exceptional. I had the pleasure of going on this safari with three members of Ngoni's staff - Sedrick, Nelson and Joel. These guys made my comfort their priority from the moment we met. Whether it was checking if I was okay with the accommodations or making sure I always had a bottle of water, I always felt like I was being well taken care of. Nelson is an excellent guide. His knowledge about the flora and fauna of Uganda was extensive, always able to answer any questions I had and was eager to teach - it's obvious that he has a great love for his country and it's environment and is eager to share this love with his clients. My experience with Ngoni and Uganda surpassed all expectations I had. Absolutely amazing, and thanks to the guys at Ngoni it feels like a new home - can't wait to come back and visit. Webale, brothers!

Great Safari
Had a great trip to Murchinson falls with Cedrick, Nelson and Joel. They made sure I got to see everything I wanted. In addition to driving, Nelson also told me a lot about the places and the animals.
My trip was spontaneous, I only planned it two days before it started and I traveled alone. Still they managed to do the trip with short notice and for the same price.
Cedrick arranged a hotel in Kampala for the night before the trip for a fair price and even offered to drive me there if necessary.
They also dropped me of in Entebbe after the trip was over.

Best experience a female solo traveler could ask for from the first inquiry, to the airport drop off
Sedrick was unique and stood out from the rest in the high quality communication he provided since the first inquiry. He called me to provide information about the itinerary and see if I had any questions even before booking the tour. We communicated through WhatsApp for any other questions that came to mind after that call. After picking me up from the airport, he and Pilot (additional tour guide) provided plenty of information about the country to give me some context and we started our long drive to the impenetrable forest. The food was delicious with many options; the accommodation was very clean with exceptional service; and the transportation from Entebbe to Bwindi park was very comfortable (although long). As a solo female traveler, both tour guides (Sedrick and Pilot) did an exceptional job at enduring I accomplished everything intended to in Uganda, and always made me feel safe. I highly recommend to book your safari with this company because the quality and professionalism will not let you down.

Highly recommended
Highly recommended!!
I contacted Ngoni safaris-only 2 weeks before my arrival in Uganda-requesting a customized 3 day safari in Murchison while staying in specific lodges in both Destinations. Sedrick's communication was excellent all the way. He helped me create my dream holiday in this beautiful country and was quick to answer all of my questions in a professional and friendly way.
Sedrick was also my guide and I have to say that he is the best guide I could ever have asked for. Highly knowledgeable, kind, professional, friendly and with a clear love and respect for nature/animals and his job. He truly turned this trip into a once in a lifetime adventure.
I will definitely book with them again, the next time I will get the opportunity to visit Uganda.
Thank you for everything !

One of our best trip experience
Our safari tour with Ngoni safaris was a dream! We visited three stunning parks during the day and stayed in beautiful and welcoming lodges in the evening. Something to point out is that our guide was so well-informed cautious and professional that our journey was brought to a whole other level by him. Could not recommend this tour enough! Hope to come back one day.

Top of Uganda travel agent
A year and a half ago, I planned a month-long trip with my wife to three African countries, including Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. After searching for travel information on the Internet and contacting many travel agencies, I finally chose to take a ten-day trip to Ngoni Safari Uganda after comparing the itinerary, price and reputation. The itinerary includes Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls National, etc.
Sedrick, the person in charge of Ngoni Safari, responded promptly and gave me a lot of useful accommodation information and itinerary suggestions. They also confirmed the information with me many times before the trip so that I was fully prepared! Although my flight was delayed due to visa issues when I entered Uganda, Sedrick and tour guide Eddy contacted me immediately and provided assistance, including changing itinerary, accommodation, etc. So that our trip will not be delayed. I deeply appreciate Ngoni Safari's adaptability and handling, and provided us with high-quality vehicles and accommodation at an affordable price.
Eddy is a punctual, helpful, polite tour guide and driver with professional knowledge of all wildlife! His driving skills are top notch, fast, safe and comfortable! He speaks multiple languages including English, Russian, Spanish, French and various tribal dialects. He has a deep understanding of the history, national conditions and people of Uganda, and is often willing to share interesting things he knows with you! During the trip, he often took the initiative to assist us in shooting, and we always enjoyed the interaction with Eddy during the trip. He was very thorough and explained everything clearly to us. Due to the unforeseen changes in Gorilla Tracking's itinerary, he had to drive for up to 10 hours to send us back to the hotel in Entebbe before the end of the trip. Eddy made proper arrangements for us. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Eddy for this😘😘😘😘
Although there were some setbacks and unsatisfactory things during our ten-day journey in Uganda, with the assistance and companionship of Sedrick and Eddy, we completed a wonderful and unforgettable travel experience, which made me feel the friendliness and enthusiasm of the Ugandan people. Thank you again Ngoni Sedrick from Safari and tour guide Eddy. If you want to travel to Uganda, Ngoni Safari is your trustworthy professional travel company! Eddy can give you a different travel experience!

We have used Ngoni safaris three different
We have used Ngoni safaris three different times, for three very different trips in Uganda. Each time we have been thrilled with the groups they have paired us with and had amazing and memorable experiences!

If I could do it again I wouldn't hesitate
If you could gurantee the same team, group and even half the wildlife encounters I'd book it up tomorrow. We were very lucky with both the wildlife and to have such an enthusiastic and fun group of guides and guests - which made the trip all the better. The locations are stunning - in two days in the Murchison falls national park we saw the big 5 and had an epic balloon ride at sunrise.
Then we were off to Ziwa for Rhinos and the rhinos, with the smiles getting wider as the wildlife encounters got better. At Jinja even novice rafters got to experience the thrill of white water and again the provided photos and videos had us all laughing and reliving the day. The Adrift campsite was also brand new and had great facilities. So the experiences built, Murchison has impressive waterfalls and the boat trip was a good way to get out of the heat of the day. Gorilla tracking in Bwindi again had us being lucky, being in the middle of chimps hunting, a once in a lifetime opportunity and not something to be expected, but if you get to experience time with the enigmatic chimps you cannot be disappointed. Queen Elizabeth has less diversity of wildlife but still provided lots of Elephants and on the river you see birds and elephants everywhere. Lastly the gorillas - I did two treks and they were both different but magical experiences.
The first involved a long trek but we were surrounded by a group and followed them, experiencing interactions with several different family members. This would be a tough trek if you are not physically fit and used to walking up hills. The second trek involved spending an unforgettable hour with Xmas, the largest silverback in Bwindi and his 1 and 2 year old babies. We could not see other members of the family and the trek was shorter and easier, but a very close and magical encounter - when a baby gorilla looks at you from less than 7m you get a sense of how special and privileged your time with them is. You are also given certificates to help remember your time with these beautiful animals. The trip to the genocide museum was a very poignant reminder of what Rwanda has been through as well. Some facts - the trip involves a lot of early starts and quite a bit of travelling.
Your reward is the trip of a lifetime. The truck is large and spacious but keep things in the lockers or that room fills up quickly. If I could do the same or similar trip with the group and crew I would book it tomorrow, if you promised me half the wildlife too I'd still jump at the chance. Thanks Ngoni Safaris for another epic adventure.

Great Experience at Murchison Falls
As a solo female traveler, assuring my own security has been a top priority while choosing a tour operator. I picked Ngoni after reading the review of another solo female traveler, and the experience couldn’t have been better! My guide, Sedrick, was very knowledgeable about the park, and did everything at his reach to make me feel comfortable and have the tour as natural as possible.
The cottage was also the best choice by far, providing me with comfort and very good food along my stay, in addition to a beautiful view of Lake Albert and a cozy garden.
