A wonderful experience
We had the best time on a 12-day tour with Buyaga Safaris through Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth NP, Kibale National Forest, Bwindi, and more. All of the lodges we stayed at were clean and comfortable (many were even nicer than we expected), food was exceptional everywhere, and the staff were so kind. Peter was so helpful and made the booking process easy.
The highlight of our trip was getting to know our guide, Richard. He went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great time and that we saw the Big 5! He was always communicative, had a positive attitude even after long days of driving, and had a great sense of humor. He taught us so much about Uganda. We were also lucky to meet Osman and Anderson from Buyaga for part of our trip, and Osman helped us see a leopard and a lion up close — what a treat! I would absolutely recommend Buyaga and our guide Richard for any safari trip.

Fantastic and very good
Our trip was 10 days, we visited Rhino Park, Murchison Falls National Park, Kibale National Park, Chimpanzee Trekking, Bwindi National Park with Gorilla Trekking, Lions in the Trees and more.
Peter was great at finding a solution on the first day with the flight problem in Kigali (Rwanda).
It was a beautiful experience and Buyaga Safaris did everything to make our trip unforgettable that I will remember forever.
Our guide Anderson was great, caring and knowledgeable who made everything go smoothly.
Thank you so much Peter and Anderson.

Knowledgeable, patient and very proud man of Uganda
My experience was amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dalson, our guide through Uganda was awesome and so knowledgeable! Anything we needed he helped us with and he was very reliable!
Every place we stayed at while traveling through Uganda was unique and special in its own way. The food was delicious and the service was great!
We got to see so many amazing animals, we saw the most powerful waterfall in the world, and we even got to go whitewater rafting down the nile river.
When we started our journey in Uganda Dalson stated "we will meet as strangers and by the end we will be the best of friends!"
That statement could not be any truer.

Superbly organized, safe, flexible and personal!
My father (64) and I (27) from Germany booked the 9-day safari, and it was absolutely amazing. We saw the Big Five and felt like we had more luck than any of the other groups. Our guide, Ossmann, was super laid-back, friendly, and funny, and he really made an effort to organize things in a way that allowed for spontaneity. Everything was perfectly organized, the food was consistently delicious, and the hotels were excellent choices given the locations. It included everything you’d imagine in a safari experience, and we would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Experience in Uganda with Buyaga Safari
I would like to sincerely thank the Buyaga Safari team for the 5-day tour I did with them.
The service from the very beginning was spectacular. They answered all my questions, and Erick, my guide, was amazing.
I felt safe, comfortable, and accompanied throughout the experience, and I was very happy to be welcomed by such a wonderful team.
The tour was incredible. I chose the “5 Days Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking” tour, and it was an excellent choice. The timing was perfect, and every detail of the tour was well coordinated by the Buyaga team.
When I was worried about the Ebola situation in the country, they guided me and helped answer my questions. I want to emphasize that I had absolutely no issues entering the country; I only had to complete an entry form.
Thank you so much. I 100% recommend them.

A unforgettable experience!
The tour showcased the beauty of western and southern Uganda. And what can I say... Uganda is absolutely stunning! A fantastic blend of nature, African wildlife, relaxation, adventure, and enjoyment. The tour with Buyaga Safaris was superbly organized. The accommodations were wonderful and unique: overnight stays in tents, in lodges with outdoor showers, and even a private cottage. My guide, Simpson, did a fantastic job. He drove the vehicle expertly, I always felt safe, and his communication was transparent. I would book another tour with him through Buyaga Safaris without hesitation. I highly recommend this tour outside of the peak and rainy seasons. Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience.

Well organized tour arranged with excellent communication and delivered as expected.
I went on the "Seven Days Uganda Gorillas, Wildlife and Chimps Safari" in February. The itinerary was great, and it made full use of every day.
I was met at my Hotel in Entebbe by my driver/guide Osman and we immediately set off on our journey. As we drove I was given a thorough history lesson of the area and continual informative info. The vehicle was comfortable, and the places we spent the nights were very nice.
The touring was well planned, and the entrance into the Chimpanzee and Gorilla treks was taken care of flawlessly. Osman went above and beyond on the game drives, and his knowledge and communication with other guides allowed some awesome encounters that made the trip memorable. His decision to head into Queen Elizabeth NP in the late afternoon even though it wasn't scheduled let to an unbelievable up close encounter with a leopard. It was an experience of a lifetime. This was an excellent tour and even though it was more expensive than my normal budget, it was indeed still great value for the price.

An impressive experience and really recommend wild safari in Uganda
My guide Simpson is a very kind guy and also the travel agent also reply to my request very fast. Just one day before the start of trip, I tried to add on another destination which is in the opposite direction to our planned route. The director kindly helped me designed a very reasonable new route, my guide also drove safely and fastly everyday, and we also had very nice culture communication. The agency provided a wide variety of experience, in 5 days I visited diversified wild habitats, made several safaris at Queen Elizabeth National Park, and finished the chimp and gorilla trecks. Uganda really has rich natural resources and can offer visitors purely wild experience. The only disadvantage worth to mention is the food in Uganda is not that delicious in China, however, it is not the problem of travel agency and guide but a problem of eating habit.

One of the best travel experiences thanks to the Buyaga crew!
It was a fantastic experience to work with Peter on an itinerary that was more complete than other operators. Peter was super responsive with all questions and is an amazing tour operator, caring for his clients. The hotels were lovely, the driver Eric was a superb guide, and I’m lucky to have just relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful country of Uganda. Peter even arranged the return of my gorilla certificate after I left it in the vehicle. Highly recommended!
