Very professional and always kind.
4/5

In May 2026, I spent a few days with Vincent exploring Murchison Falls National Park and Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. My time with Vincent was very enjoyable; he is a friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable guide.

During the safari, I saw many elephants, giraffes, and a variety of other wildlife. Lions seem to have become less common in the northern part of the park since oil exploration activities began there. The boat trip on the Nile was also a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

I can definitely recommend Uzuri Safari⁠ as a professional and reliable safari operator.

The excursions he chose were amazing- He found us great guides and wonderful adventures.
4/5


For improvement, I think just communication... for example we had no clear idea what to expect re. the border crossing and how and where to meet our guide. That was a bit unnerving.
He was, however, a very good guy and very kind. We felt he knew the areas and always felt good/safe when with him.
The side trips were great- though I would have preferred to stay in just 2 hotels total (not 3) for our 4 nights in Uganda.
We absolutely loved the Birdnest resort and the boat tour there and both the gorilla and golden monkey treks were outstanding!
Loved the Heaven restaurant (in Rwanda where we had lunch after landing there) and were glad we went to the Rwanda genocide museum where we learned more about the absolutely sad and horrific atrocities that occurred there.

Well organized tour, good accommodation booked, amazing experiences with both Gorillas and Chimps!
4/5

This was a great, well organized safari. Eszra was very responsive to our inquiries. Our guide shared lots of information on the country, local customs etc. The accommodation provided was very good. The food was good at all the lodges - basic, but you have to keep in mind this is Uganda. We had amazing experiences in both Bwindi Impenetrable and Kibale National Parks. In Bwindi we had 2 gorilla permits - one for the north and one for the south. The troop we went to see in the South was definitely less habituated than the one we saw in the North; but still a great experience. The hiking to see the gorillas can be quite rugged with steep ups and downs and I would recommend that if you have ANY mobility issues that you hire one of the local porters to help you out. We were very fortunate to have very close encounters with the Chimps in Kibale. Uganda is a beautiful country but it does take a long time to drive in-between places as the road infrastructure is not that great. Give yourself plenty of time to explore the country.

I travelled with Africa Uzuri Safaris to see the gorillas in Bwindi. I had a fantastic time. Thank you Edris for responding to my emails promptly and making the arrangements professionally. It was an enjoyable trip.

Magnificent journey organized by Uzuri Uganda Safari.
5/5


Sincerely, a truly magnificent journey organized by Uzuri Uganda Safari.
The itinerary was perfectly designed, combining visits to waterfalls, game drives by car and on foot in the national parks, as well as boat excursions. We had the privilege of being accompanied by Joachim, an outstanding guide with an impressive knowledge of animals, trees and flowers, combined with a genuine sense of service and professionalism.

Unforgettable moments with gorillas and chimpanzees, in a well-organized setting that respected the animals.
Everything was spot on: the quality of the itinerary, the accommodations and the activities provided.

An authentic discovery of Uganda – one I enjoyed so much that I am already considering returning to explore the other parks!

Available, supportive, fully transparent!
5/5

Did a fantastic couple 4 days trip in Uganda with 1 day gorilla trekking in Bwindi, 1 day of cultural walk and, and stop and gos in Entebbe.
We chose Uzuri Uganda Safari for our trip and got the best possible service from Edris, who detailed our itinerary taking great care, Joachim, who guided us on the ground in Bwindi and surrounding areas, and Lovy, who picked us in Entebbe.
The team was always available and flexible to our asks, supported us with our followups very timely via WhatsApp and calls, and was always on time… making our experience in Uganda smooth and even more special!
Thanks Edris, Joachim and Lovy!

Fantastic country and fantastic guide
5/5

We did a private tour for 2 people for 11 days around Uganda.

From the beginning, Edris' preparation of the itinerary was excellent. He listened to our needs, explained everything in detail and sent us a very complete guide of what we should bring (very useful, we recommend following it and not forgetting anything on the list).

Once there, we were picked up by Joachim, our guide and driver, who accompanied us until the end of the trip. The treatment with him has been unbeatable: he has made sure that we saw as much fauna as possible in a respectful way, that we had the best places in the group activities, that the trackings were adapted as much as possible to our needs and of course he has given us information about the fauna, flora and culture of the country.

We have not had any unforeseen events during the itinerary, but we had full confidence that if we did, Joachim would take care of it efficiently. He has shown to have a very extensive knowledge of all the places we have visited and a super professional attitude, asking us for feedback so that we can fully enjoy the trip.

Regarding the tour itself, our expectations have been more than met, we have been lucky to see almost 100% of the fauna we expected, Uganda is a beautiful country.

We were recommended by some friends and now we are the ones who recommend Uzuri without a doubt.
