Perfect Tour to Rwanda & Uganda
I reached out to Ronald of Kajie Safaris early 2019 to see if they would be able to set up a customized trip itinerary for me and my friend which would include multiple gorilla treks in various parks in both Rwanda & Uganda, chimp trekking and a couple safari days. We are both photographers and so our goals for a trip are very specific and require more planning than the average tourist.
From the start Ronald's communication was prompt, courteous and concise. He answered countless questions for the whole year leading up to our trip and was amazing at obtaining all necessary permits, booking accommodations and even domestic flights for us to reach Entebbe for our flight back to the US.
Kajie was one of the only companies I could find that was willing to tailor a package to guest requests and even during the trip several times Ronald went above and beyond to make last minute changes to our itinerary to make sure that our experience was the best one possible.
All of the local accommodations he chose were fabulous and the staff very friendly. He clearly had very good working relationships with these lodges and their staff and it made for a better stay for us. He also did a great job of navigating the selection process at the national parks when it came to assigning guests to gorilla groups and ensured that we were placed in appropriate hikes for our physical abilities and also that would allow us wonderful photographic opportunities.
The whole trip was wonderful and we enjoyed our time so much we are already looking forward to planning a return trip to Uganda with Kajie. Ronald was fabulous to work with and to be around for our 12 day tour and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to explore more of East Africa.

Fantastic
Kajie safaris gave me one of my best trips ever in Africa (and i travel a lot)
From the pick up at the airport until the departure day Ronald my guide gave me an incredible trip and everything i booked was spot on.
Kibale is a fantastic place and the climate is perfect and if you go in Jan-Feb there isn´t much rain and it is very easy to walk in the forest (quite open) and not many mosquitos at all.
PS! Dont miss Bigodi Swamp nearby to combine with Kibale, good sightings of Colobus monkeys and also the nightwalk with potos and galagos.
Check this out what you can expekt to see

Amazing experience in amazing Uganda!
This was an amazing trip to amazing Uganda with excellent guide Ronald, who was very informative, helpful and communicative, great service in the car (plenty of drinking water, cold beverages, wifi). During our trip we stopped at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and saw many rhinos up-close, then moved to the Murchison Falls National Park with its eye-catching landscape, many animals to see (including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffalo) with few tourists around, took boat ride on the river Nile (about 2 hours) and hiked up to the amazing Murchison Falls (took us about 40 minutes, it can be a bit exhausting so take some water). Then we went on a scenic drive through Uganda to the Queen Elizabeth National Park. We saw less animals here than in Murchison Falls, but more animals up-close on our boat ride on the Kazinga channel, which took for about 2 hours.
We highly recommend Kajie Safaris as your tour operator and the Murchison Falls National Park as one of your destinations if you plan a trip to Uganda!

Amazing, incredible, marvelous Uganda…
We visited Uganda with the 11-day tour organized by Kajie Safaris in July 2018.
When we chose Kajie Safaris, the criteria were: price, reliability, positive feedback and lack of negative impressions among tourists, as well as quick answers to E-mail inquiries, flexibility in discussing the program.
Ronald Muvunyi worked with us. He met us at the airport and then accompanied him along the entire route both as a guide, as a driver, as an translator, and as a friend. He is a man with remarkable organizational skills, friendly, cheerful, with a fine sense of humor. We were very easy and interesting with him. We enjoyed our trip!
During the tour, we wanted to change the program a little. Ronald graciously helped to correct the route, rescheduled the hotels.
When traveling is organized by people who love and know their business - they are sure to succeed!
We were just fascinated by Uganda. The next visit to Africa will be planned only with Kajie Safaris!
We wish you all a pleasant journey and a vivid impressions,
Sergii and Lana.

We came for the animals, we left with memories for life
We booked a private safari in Uganda with this agency and it exceeded every expectation. Our guide Eddie was absolutely outstanding — friendly, incredibly safe behind the wheel, and with an eagle eye for spotting wildlife we would have never noticed on our own.
What really set him apart was his passion for sharing his country: from animal behavior and local agriculture to music and culture, every drive felt like a living classroom. He was also wonderfully attentive to all our requests throughout the trip.
The accommodations were top-notch, and the whole experience was seamlessly organized. This is a trip we will never forget. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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! 🫶🏻

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.
