Kampala City Tour With Friendly, Knowledgeable Ronald
I did a 1 day Kampala city tour with Ronald and was very satisfied. Price was fair but moreover Ronald was friendly, knowledgeable, imformative and I felt safe at all times. He’s a true asset to this company and Uganda tourism as a whole.

Makes sure it all works out.
I would always pick Kajie Safaris again for a tour through Uganda. The response and organisation of my trip was super easy and the team was very flexible on making sure I get all I was looking for during my 7 days in Uganda. Thanks to Ronald and Josephine for helping me out with all my requests. Needless to say that all the accommodations were top notch, from the Bweza Gorilla Lodge, Aakvard Safari Lodge, Chimp Nest - I loved them all and I was always sad to check-out after 1-2 nights only.
The biggest shout out and thanks go out to my on site guide Casmir aka Herbert who was not only my guide and driver but also my babysitter, 24/7-entertainer and car-pool-karaoke-buddy becoming more of a partner in crime (metaphorically speaking of course) during these past 7 days. Making sure we were always safe on the road, never missing on one of the scenic routs instead of the main-road, finding the best coffee places with a view and making this week of looking for wild-life and being in nature into one of the best weeks in my life. Travelling solo is not always easy, but with a guide like him there was no single moment to be worried or to be bored - time was flying way to quick, even during the long hours of driving/roadtripping across the country - he was really the best company I could have asked for. (althought he did not let me win at pool. ;-))
Thank you - it would not have been the same without you. ♡

Outstanding 10 day Ugandan safari for 2
After researching several tour operators, my girlfriend and I chose Kajie Safaris because of their strong reputation and the quality of lodges included in their itineraries, which already looked very appealing and noticeably better than those offered by many other providers.
We initially contacted them about one of their pre-planned tours, and from the very beginning the experience was excellent. They were extremely helpful in suggesting modifications, offering thoughtful recommendations, and tailoring the itinerary to better match our interests. After a few adjustments and extensions, we were very happy with the final program and decided to book.
Communication leading up to the safari was outstanding. Responses were always quick, clear, and detailed, and Kajie Safaris was proactive in reminding us about visas, yellow fever certificates, and other important preparations. This gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind before arrival.
The safari itself exceeded our expectations in every way. Uganda is an incredible country, with stunning landscapes that constantly change—from lush forests and crater lakes to wide savannahs and dramatic views. Every day felt different, and the scenery alone made the journey unforgettable.
The lodges were truly exceptional. We knew in advance that they would be nice, but in reality they were outstanding, often featuring spectacular views from both the rooms and the restaurants. They were comfortable, beautifully located, and added enormously to the overall experience, making it feel both adventurous and relaxing at the same time.
Our guide and driver, Eddie, was absolutely exceptional and elevated the entire safari to another level. He ensured everything ran seamlessly, from transportation and check-ins to schedules and coordination with the lodges, including dinner arrangements, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the trip. Eddie drove very safely throughout the journey, which was greatly appreciated given the long distances and varying road conditions.
Eddie was also incredibly attentive and proactive. A great example was when he extended an excursion in Queen Elizabeth National Park to include a visit to a crater with flamingos, simply because we had been talking about flamingos during the night drive the day before—without us even asking. He was an excellent wildlife spotter and consistently helped us see animals we might otherwise have missed. Everywhere we went, staff and locals greeted Eddie warmly, clearly showing how well-liked and respected he is. His knowledge of wildlife, local culture, and politics was impressive, and he answered all our questions with ease. Thanks to Eddie, we had fantastic game drives and excursions and truly felt we saw everything we could have hoped for—and more.
Our only disappointment was the vehicle. We paid approximately USD 700 extra to upgrade from a minibus to a Land Cruiser (or similar). While we did receive a Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof, it was a standard SUV rather than one of the larger, safari-specific vehicles shown on Kajie Safaris’ Instagram (which most other tourists had). That was probably a communication error on our end. However, the vehicle did not have air conditioning. Despite driving with the windows fully down, it was still very warm inside, especially during long stretches on the highway. This resulted in long, uncomfortable drives with wind buffeting, significant dust inside the car, and heavy truck traffic passing close by. Even if we wanted to roll up the windows, the door window tint was so dark you could hardly see out. Given that several drives lasted over six hours, air conditioning would have made a substantial difference in comfort. At this price point, we had expected AC would be included, and we were therefore quite disappointed with the upgraded vehicle.
In conclusion, we are very happy that we chose Kajie Safaris, but we would require a car with AC next time at that price point, or not pay to upgrade. The landscapes, wildlife, lodges, planning, and especially our guide made this an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we would absolutely recommend Kajie Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Uganda.

THE BEST!
LOOK NO FURTHER! You just found the best company for your safari in Uganda. We had the most amazing time on our 11 day trip with Kajie! The communication prior with Ronald and his team was excellent. They make sure you have all the information you need and more (and even send you reminders regarding your visa/vaccination :)). And then we had the best guide ever -hi Baluku! He took us to amazing local places when we told him we wanted to eat more local food, always made sure we had the best guide & group for the Trekkings and he introduced us to Ugandan Dancehall music during the long drives. The lodges are all absolutely GORGEOUS, the pictures in the brochure don’t do them enough justice. The service & food everywhere is excellent. We were always sad to leave. Thank you so much for this once in a lifetime experience, we will never forget it!
We can’t recommend it enough!
This is just the beginning! ;)

Amazing! ⭐
We did a 10-day safari with Kajie and it was truly amazing! 😍🦛
Our Road Trip: Murchinson Falls - Kibale Forest - Queen Elizabeth - Lake Mutanda - Lake Mburo 🚙🌴
Our driver "Uncle Bob" was a very good driver and also very good company! 😁 He makes sure you feel comfortable and that you have a good time! We managed to spot the Big Five on already on the first day! 🐆
Also no complains about any of the lodges where we stayed. Everywhere we went we got to meet a super friendly and hard working staff. 🙏🏼
Would definitely recommend! ⭐

Outstanding!
The four of us were met at Kigali airport by our guide Simon late at night after flying in from the UK. From that moment on, Simon steered us through some once in a lifetime experiences from iconic gorilla trekking in both Rwanda and Uganda, various safaris, a boat cruise, a chimpanzee expedition and to an assortment of well chosen hotels and lodges. At all times, Simon kept our best interests at the heart of the holiday, accommodating any requests that we made of him and tailoring the activities to suit our needs. He is calm, personable, extremely knowledgable and is clearly well known and respected by the people he works with at the various locations on our trip.
Altogether an amazing adventure which we would highly recommend. The gorilla treks were challenging but not to be missed - be sure to use the invaluable services of a local guide to support you as the terrain can be very steep and uneven. It’s not for the faint hearted!!!
Thank you Simon for your wisdom, friendship, skilful driving and your trusty van Precious - not the most glamorous vehicle but she was constantly reliable on the unpredictable African roads!

Unforgettable experience with one-of-a-kind guide!
If you’re considering a safari, Uganda should be your top choice, and if you’re considering a guide in Uganda, Kajie should be your top choice!
We were lucky enough to have Ronald for 11 full days and we couldn’t have asked for a better companion on our adventure. He is so knowledgable, friendly, funny, welcoming, reliable, generous… overall an amazing guide that we now count as a friend.
Kajie offers great value for money for wonderful accommodations (we genuinely liked every single one of the 7 places we stayed), delicious food, amazing activities, and most importantly a fantastic knowledgeable guide who always goes the extra mile to make your experience special.
We saw everything we wanted to see (including rare animals with the help of Ronald’s very keen eye), and leave Uganda with many wonderful memories. It’s the best trip we’ve been on and we can’t wait to return (with Kajie of course).
Thank you Ronald and see you again soon ❤️
