A reliable and high quality tour operator
We had a two nights, three day visit to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to do gorilla trekking. The trek was amazing, seeing the gorillas in the wild was such a privilege. Our driver and guide Sulait was there to meet us off the plane and took care of us for three days. He was a brilliant driver on the most challenging roads and a calm and reassuring presence at all times. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Thank you so much, Kajie Safari!
Hello dear Kajie team,
Thank you so much for the wonderful time and everything you made possible for us.
You fulfilled our greatest wish: to see gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitat.
You put together a fantastic safari for us.
You, or rather you, Roland, were always there for us, at any time, and for all our questions.
You planned and organized everything perfectly for us. The lodges were a dream, and we were able to truly relax.
I would also like to mention the staff and managers of the lodges. They were simply wonderful, friendly, and everyone greeted us with a smile and was happy to see us.
We felt completely at home.
Roland was the nicest, best, and most flexible boss, and from the very beginning, we felt well taken care of at Kajie Safari.
Roland even arranged an earlier airport pickup so we didn't have to wait long.
Our tour started around 5 or 6 a.m. The pickup was on time, and when we saw Musimenta and Baluku, we knew we were in for the most wonderful and fun time with them.
Baluku is simply amazing. Please don't hesitate to plan and book such a fantastic safari with Kajie Safari.
Our guide, Baluku, tried to fulfill our every wish. He radiated positivity and is a truly kind person. He also explained a lot to us about nature, the animals, and much more.
We laughed a lot and spent a lot of time together. Roland is a good listener, and that's why he planned the perfect guide, Baluku, for us.
After our tour, we weren't just tourists and guides; we became friends.
We wouldn't want to miss this amazing time and still think back on it today.
We wish you, Musimenta, a great apprenticeship and know that you, too, will become a fantastic guide.
We would also like to mention Shivan and say thank you very much. She took us on a wonderful tour to the swamps and the village. There, we enjoyed a coffee tasting, and at the banana plantations, a schnapps and juice tasting. Shivan is a super nice and funny young woman; we had a great time with her.
Finally, for all of you who are still unsure whether to book your tour in Germany or directly with the agency on site!
Then don't hesitate and book with Kajie Safari.
The entire tour, the accommodations/lodges/staff, and the food were fantastic.
Roland is a great guy and perfectly plans the best tour for each individual. He listens and tries to fulfill and implement your wishes.
He has great staff, and through your conversations and emails, he knows which guide is the best fit for you. He was available to us at any time, and we received immediate answers to our questions.
The planned safari walks were superb, and the rangers, like everyone here, were incredibly friendly and explained a lot to us. We could ask them any questions we had.
We didn't do any night drives, so unfortunately, we can't comment on those.
Roland is a great guy and knows which guide would be the best fit for you. Dare to create your own safari with Kajie Safari! ❣️🤩

Absolutely Sublime.
Myself, my wife and my parents have just got back from Uganda after going on Kajie Safaris '8- Day Big-5, Gorillas & Chimpanzee Ultimate Trip'.
In short, we had the best holiday we've ever been on. Our tour guide/ driver was Arafat, who was very knowledgeable and experienced. He was a fantastic guide communicated with us well so we knew the itinerary and where and when we had to be places. Did a great job communicating with other guides within the National Parks trying to located 'The Big 5'. We managed to see all the animals we were hoping for and then some. We also had a laugh making some A.I videos with Grok :D
The lodges we stayed in surpassed all expectations, they were incredible, and the food at the lodges was superb. We would 100% recommend using Kajie Safaris if you are planning a tour around Uganda. Everything from the booking, to payments, communications with Ronald and his team etc was very smooth, and we felt completely relaxed through the process. And they're a local tour company rather than an intentional one.
Don't just think about it, book it!
Responsible, safe and well organized tour company
We had an outstanding experience with Kajie Safaris travel agency during our 6 days tour from Rwanda to Uganda. The entire itinerary (Kigali, Golden Monkeys trekking, Gorilla trekking, Safari in Queen Elizabeth Park, Water safari on Kazinga Channel, Chimpanzees trekking in Kibale and Kampala) was excellently planned and professionally executed. All logistics were handled seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the journey without any concerns.
The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the gorilla trek, which was a truly unforgettable experience. The safari was equally impressive, offering exceptional wildlife encounters in stunning natural settings.
We would especially like to commend our guide, Sulait, for his exceptional service. He was highly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the tour. His expertise, clear communication, and genuine care for our comfort and safety greatly enhanced the overall experience.
We highly recommend Kajie Safaris as travel agency and Sulait as tour guide to anyone seeking a well-organized, high-quality safari and gorilla trekking experience in Rwanda and Uganda. We would not hesitate to travel with Kajie Safaris again in the future.

My beloved Uganda...
This is my second trip to Uganda and, just like the first time, I decided to rely on Kajie Safaris again given the positive experience I had previously.
Kajie Safaris has proven once more to be highly professional, adhering strictly to the agreed-upon program and pricing. Our guide, Colly, was again incredibly friendly and attentive to our every need. He was meticulous and always prioritized the safety of his guests. Thanks to him, we traveled across most of Uganda without a single issue or hiccup, and he even managed to help us spot all of the Big Five.
Uganda is a stunning and diverse country; you truly have to see it to realize it is a part of Africa that remains genuine and not yet overwhelmed by mass tourism. It is rich in natural beauty and populated by warm, helpful people. The lodges we stayed in (mid-range category) were excellent and very focused on our well-being. The food was great and plentiful.
I am certain I will return to Uganda, and I will always choose Kajie Safaris. A well-deserved 5 stars!

An Unforgettable 9-Day Safari in Uganda
We (My husband and I) traveled to Uganda for a 9-day safari with Kajie Safaris, and it exceeded all of our expectations in every possible way. Ronald, the manager, was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process. He handled all of our requests with great care and professionalism, making everything smooth and stress-free from the very beginning.
Our trip was absolutely amazing, and a huge part of that was thanks to our wonderful guide, Baluku. He was not only friendly and funny, but also exceptionally professional and attentive. He went above and beyond to make sure every single one of our wishes was fulfilled without any issues.
We would highly recommend Kajie Safaris to anyone looking for a truly exceptional safari experience.

Outstanding Experience with Kajie Safaris – Exceptional Guide Timothy
Our recent trip to Uganda was nothing short of extraordinary, and Kajie Safaris played a central role in making it so memorable.
From the initial planning phase to the final day of our journey, the level of professionalism and customer service was impeccable. The team carefully listened to our requirements and designed a truly tailor-made safari that perfectly matched our expectations. The itinerary was thoughtfully structured, well-paced, and flawlessly organized. It was clear throughout that Kajie Safaris operates with high standards and a genuine customer-oriented mindset.
A special mention goes to our driver and tour guide, Timothy. He was with us for the entire trip and quickly became much more than a guide. Timothy is an exceptional professional with a warm, calm personality and an impressive sense of responsibility. He was always punctual — never once late — and managed the schedule with precision, ensuring we arrived at every destination comfortably and on time.
His standards of hygiene, both personally and in maintaining the vehicle, were excellent. The vehicle was consistently clean and well-prepared each day. Safety and security were clearly a priority for him, and we felt completely at ease throughout the journey.
What truly sets Timothy apart is his patience, dedication, and willingness to go the extra mile without ever being asked. He was always ready to assist, answer questions, share insights about Uganda’s wildlife and culture, and adapt where needed. His deep knowledge of the country, combined with his approachable and friendly nature, transformed our trip into something genuinely special.
Without Timothy, the experience would simply not have been the same. He brought the journey to life and turned wonderful moments into lasting memories. He is a true ambassador for Kajie Safaris and for Uganda.
We highly recommend Kajie Safaris to anyone looking for a professional, well-organized, and customer-focused safari experience in Uganda.

Absolutely amazing and even better than expected!
As a group, we went on a 10-day safari in January/February and visited the national parks at Murchinson Falls and Lake Mburo, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Buyoni, Bwindi, and Kigale. It was incredible to get so close to the animals, especially on the walking safaris and the to see the chimpanzees and gorillas. A wonderful experience that I can absolutely recommend. Kaje Safaris put together a great itinerary for us and offered us many inexpensive extra activities (e.g., a village visit in Kigale and a visit to the Batwa in Bwindi), which were great.
We were very happy with our guide Collin. He showed us lots of animals and told us all about them, often made us laugh, and mastered even the bumpiest roads with ease. Thank you very much, Collin, and thank you to Kaje for these great experiences! 🫶🏻

We came to see animals- but left fallen in love with the people and the country
Uganda was trip with high expectations from our side. First time on the African continent, first time with a a tour operator and a guide to plan our journey.
After an extensive research, we get a pretty good idea what we wanted to see and with whom we wanted to do the trip.
The reviews for Kajie were great, so we decided to give it a try - and they delivered a world class service, Including every idea we had in our trip, always responding quick, very transparent in the pricing, and very flexible, and always friendly.
So we felt in good hands starting the trip.
Arriving in Entebbe on our 15 day trip all these high expectations have not only been matched, they have been surpassed dramatically.
And you cant talk about exceeding expectations without speaking about one guy Andrew Murari. Andrew is just ticking all boxes you can expect, an excellent driver through all the difficult conditions, we have been challenged with, and expert for every animal you can encounter, and we did encounter many. Fluent in many languages, equipped with a great network to get the best out of every game drive and lunch stop. Andrew has a combination of being ambitious, stubborn and patient which results in making sure you not going home with without seeing every single thing you wanted to see, even if you start to loose hope, he will never give up.
He is great teacher and ambassador for his country giving you the right mix of knowledge about country and people without feeling beeing in a lecture.But most important he is a great human being, respectful, reliable and incredible funny. It will be 100% not our last trip with him, and when you want to make the same experience ask for him.
The lodges where amazing and we would love to stays for a longer time in every of them. Kidepo Savannah Lodge has been our a favourite, as Kidepo was our favorite region and park in Uganda. But KaJie also surprised us with an upgrade to Buffalo Safari Lodge in QNP which was an awesome experience. So the review comes to an end and we have still not mentioning animals. So even without all the encounter it would be a great trip but, being close to baby gorillas and a silverback, walking with giraffes and rhinos, spotting leopards, and lions, seeing a pyhton eating and antelope, being among chimpanzees and golden monkeys. If you want to have the journey of a lifetime go to Uganda book with Katje and drive with Andrew. Thank you for giving us this experience.

Really the Pearl of Africa
We spent 10 days in Uganda with Kajie Safari. In particular with Arafat as our guide, and the experience exceeded all expectations. His extensive knowledge of the country, its national parks, and its traditions enriched every part of our journey.
Arafat stood out for his kindness, calm attitude, and ability to anticipate our needs. Always punctual, organized, and incredibly helpful, he turned a great trip into an unforgettable one.
We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Uganda.
