5* are not enough!
5/5

Our 5-day safari with Wild Uganda was simply unforgettable!

From the planning stage to departure, everything was perfectly organized. The team was always available and took all our wishes into account. The accommodations were excellent, perfectly tailored to our needs, and offered breathtaking views.

The safari itself was an absolute highlight: from Queen Elizabeth National Park to chimpanzee trekking and our personal highlight – gorilla trekking – every moment was unique. The walking safari in Lake Mburo National Park was also a very special experience. It was incredible how close we sometimes got to the animals – a feeling we will never forget. We truly went through every emotion: tears of joy, goosebumps, and moments of complete speechlessness.

A very special thank you to our guide Allaine! He was simply amazing – always helpful, friendly, and attentive. We shared many laughs with him and felt safe and perfectly taken care of at all times. He always brought us to the best photo spots, allowing us to capture unforgettable memories. With his extensive knowledge of wildlife and plants, as well as his experience, he taught us so much and shared his passion with us.

If we ever go on a safari in Uganda again, it will only be with Allaine and Wild Uganda!

Thank you for everything – this is a trip we will never forget!

We highly recommend Wild Uganda and would book with them again anytime!

Exceptional guides, flawless planning, unforgettable experiences.
5/5

We had an absolutely wonderful trip to Rwanda and Uganda with Wild Uganda.

From the very beginning, everything was organized at the highest level. Despite being experienced African travelers, the team managed to create a perfectly tailored itinerary for us in just one day. Every detail was taken care of - from excellent lodges to a comfortable and well-balanced program that allowed us to enjoy the destinations without feeling rushed.

This journey would not have been the same without our guide, Linus. From start to finish, he was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about making our experience special. He always tried to secure the best possible conditions for us during activities, listened carefully to our preferences, and adapted the trip accordingly.

We especially appreciated his great sense of humor and the fascinating insights he shared about local culture, traditions, and daily life. By the end of the week, Linus truly felt like a member of our family.

He also personally guided our game drives, and when we jokingly mentioned that it would be amazing to see a leopard, he somehow made the impossible happen. Thanks to him, we had our very first leopard sighting in the wild - a moment we will never forget.

We highly recommend Wild Uganda to anyone looking for a seamless, professional, and memorable East African adventure. Thank you for creating such a special experience for us!

Unforgattable trip across Uganda
5/5

We had an amazing and unforgattable 10 days trip in Uganda. Starting with the rhinos in Ziwa Sanctuary was the perfect first activity, followed by game drives and a boat safari in Murchison Falls national park, where we were amazed by the wildlife. Our tour guide's enthusiasm and knowledge about wildlife made the game drives even more enjoyable. Watching to the world's most powerful waterfall is also a wonderful experience. The 10 days tour included some cultural experiences, like coffee tour and vanilla farm tour, where we could learn about the processes and the plants, and also spent some time with the local people in Uganda, who are one of the nicest people. We also had a surprise activity by our tour guide. Crater lake hike and Lake Bunyonyi are both beautiful activities. The highligt of the tour was the gorilla trekking in Bwindi, where we could spent one hour with a family, and made memories that will last forever. During our last day, we stopped at the Equator and had a game drive in Lake Mburo NP where we had some of our most memorable wildlife experience. Throughout the tour the company was quick to respond and we appreciated the flexibility and the value for money as well! Accommodations were beyond expectations, all of them added to the tour to make our Uganda trip even better. On the top of all these, our tour guide was the best we could hope for, and we are looking forward to another trip to East Africa with Wild Uganda.

Excellent vacations in beautiful and diverse Uganda - fully recommended
5/5

- as an intro: this was our first safari and to be honest, at first we were a bit reluctant to book our vacation in Uganda directly through a travel agency based there, because we couldn't meet and discuss in person beforehand. It is a somewhat strange feeling to transfer a (for us) big amount of money to a person/company we have not met in person. So we did our due diligence (checked reviews, website, checked registration with UWA, trusted our gut feeling after initial communication,...) and decided to take the "risk" - and we were rewarded heavily :-)
- the trip: Based on a travel guidebook about Uganda and input from different sources (including Wild Uganda's website), we planned our individual 20 day itinerary through Uganda and sent this to Wild Uganda. Ernest (from Wild Uganda) gave his input on the itinerary, suggested additional things to do, searched for suitable lodges and accommodation on our way and made us an offer. So the whole trip was tailored to our wishes and it was just the two of us with our driver/guide (no group travel). Note to myself for future safaris: don't forget to add a leisure day here and there, which is also nice.
- the communication: very easy in english, mostly through whatsapp. Ernest reacted very fast and answered all our questions (even more exotic ones, for example about yellow fever vaccination exemptions because one of us was for medical reasons not allowed to be vaccinated). he first sent us a sample 10 day programm with price ranges so we could get a feeling for the prices. Only after this we made our itinerary and sent it to him. He understood fast and precisely, which kind of lodges we would like regarding comfort and pricerange and proposed suitable ones (some even better than we could hope for). He asked back about unclear points in our itinerary (much appreciated) and made sure we were on the same page with everything. He sent us our guide/driver's contact details a couple of days in advance and we set up a whatsapp group (us and the guide). Also with him, the communication was easy in english and his response time was very fast. Communication was a great plus and gave us confidence.
- the service: impeccable. Our guide/driver Kasim (insta: on_safari_with_kasim) was phantastic. He picked us up at the airport (we were delayed for two hours) and from then on accompanied us till we flew away again 20 days later. He is a warm, welcoming and easygoing person who knows a lot about the animals, people, country etc. and shares his knowledge. At the same time he has a fine feeling of when you'd prefer to sit in silence and just enjoy the landscape passing by. He is great at spotting animals and also knows about photography and taking great pictues. You can feel his own interest in the animals and also his excitement about them. I especially appreciated that he is a very safe, cautious driver (I am picky in that regard and had no problem to relax). At one point, one of us had a bacterial infection and we had to rush for medical help - those are the moments you really realize if you're in good hands or not, and we obviously were. Kasim reacted fast and decisive. After half a day in the local hospital, we had to stay longer at the lodge we where at this moment to get healthy again. He arranged for everything. We went together through the options on how to continue our travel which was straightforward, no nonsense. Luckily, health got better and we could continue (skipping two days in the initial program and passing on a couple of game drives). Even Ernest reached out to us during this time and wished good recuperation! So, flexibility was great.
- value for money: We didn't compare to many other local agencies, so we can't judge there. But compared to agencies in Europe, it was much, much cheaper and made it affordable for us. Considering all the service and the level of the lodges we had (some mid range, some more lux), we would say it was a very good deal and definitely worth the money.
- overall: we can recommend Wild Uganda and Kasim (driver/guide) without any reservation. If we go back to Uganda/Rwanda/Kenya one day, we would definitely book with them again!

Outstanding
5/5

We have recently finished seven days visiting the gorillas & golden monkeys in the Kisoro area of Uganda. The whole trip met our needs perfectly. I struggle to think of anything that Ernest at Wild Uganda or our fantastic driver Kasim could have done to have improved it. Ernest was flexible in terms of what we wanted to see and do. Kasim was punctual, attentive, good company and an excellent driver on some pretty appalling roads. I have already recommended Wild Uganda to a good friend and would do so to others without hesitation
