Amazing Safari
5/5

I was going on a gorilla safari with my friend and this was going to be the first ever safari for the both of us. Luckily, the communication with the office was super easy and we got answers to all of the questions we needed. The driver / guide (Sedrick) was very professional and funny and made our time very pleasant. Also, he had a proper knowledge of the local area close to the Mgahinga national park and he promptly spoke some 7 languages which we thought was super positive.

The safari was surely the highlight of out East African trip!

5/5

We had a group of 10. We took an evening sunset game drive and an early morning sunrise game drive. Both were exceptional. We saw a lot of wildlife - elephants, giraffes, lion, lioness, hippos etc. Our guides did a good job of explaining different parts of the the trip. This was my first time with this crew - I can see why we continue to use them. Their service is awesome! I would highly recommend them!

We visited Uganda with day trips to Tanzania last year. Our travel plans were arranged perfectly to suit what we all wanted to do and more. The itinerary was very thorough and beautifully made. Sedrick our agent was very quick to respond to all our needs. We did not encounter any problems at all. Overall we were very happy and impressed with their service.

Excellent for gorilla trekking
5/5

We used Ngoni Safaris as a tour to trek with gorillas in Uganda. They were amazing and so helpful. We had some issues with last minute flight changes and the team and our guide, Mubarack, worked with us so that we could still see gorillas even with less time than intended.

Magical /spectacular—a truly transformative adventure filled with breathtaking wildlife encounters
5/5


Our safari with Ngoni Safaris was nothing short of spectacular—a truly transformative adventure filled with breathtaking wildlife encounters, impeccable daily service from Reagan our personal guide , driver , who’s role included seamless logistics that exceeded every expectation, making it the trip of a lifetime with memories we'll cherish forever.

From trekking with gorillas , cheetahs and rhinos to intimate moments with lions, elephants, hippos and more, every game drive / boat safari was magical. Our guide Reagan was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate and brought the wilderness alive with his knowledge and made us feel completely safe and immersed. We highly recommend Ngoni Safaris to anyone dreaming of an authentic, unforgettable African adventure.

Once in a lifetime Experience
5/5

It was an absolutely fantastic experience. The diversity of this trip is incredible and hard to beat; we saw the Big 5 and much more. But meeting the gorillas was definitely the highlight for us. The trip was perfectly planned by Ngoni, and they took care of all our needs during the trip. We didn't have to worry about a thing. A big thank you also goes to our wonderful guide Hillary, who had extensive knowledge about his country, animals and culture. We had a lot of fun together and can only recommend him. This trip was a 10/10!

Ngoni Safaris provided a well-planned, customized gorilla Safari
3/5

Gard was our amazing driver for our Safari trip from the Kigali Airport in Rwanda to our hotel and then on to crossing the border into Uganda and on to our Lodge in the Rwindi Impenetrable Forest (and back again at the end). He always had bottled water available for us in the car which mattered so much! We felt totally safe with his careful driving (as Rwandans drive on the right side and Ugandans drive on the left). He helped us negotiate security and immigration. We made lovely stops along the way to eat, photograph and purchase items.
In addition, Gard was so knowledgeable and shared his information with us during the trip from sites and wildlife along the drive, the history of the countries, to essential safety precautions. While at our lodge, he would meet with us each evening so we could prepare for the upcoming treks, helping us to rent gators, get masks, and review the supplies to pack. He would cheerfully drive us each day, multiple times (regardless of the early morning departures), and then diligently wait for us (for many hours) while we trekked. While he waited, he continued to educate himself by reading books on the bat populations and bird varieties in Bwindi, to share this knowledge with others. He had just completed his college degree in Accounting (amazing) and yet still continues learning.
One of the most admirable qualities that I appreciated in Gard was his calm and patient personality: nothing shocked him or frustrated him- he was always cheerful and helpful. We did have a Visa issue at the border and he calmly and patiently helped us maneuver through. We also had trouble with ATMs and he would cheerfully drive us to other ATMs until we had success. If we had a question or concern, he would find the answer. If I was getting car sick, he would drive slower and make stops along the way. Gard Florence is the one who made this trip a success, as he totally customized our tour to suit us individually. We highly recommend Gard, as he was definitely worth a generous tip!
Thank you so much Gard.
Ngoni mistakenly double charged us when signing up which took some time to reverse the charges. We scheduled two days of Gorilla Trekng through Ngoni and they were amazing experiences which we will always treasure 💕 We had a beautiful cabin at the border of the impenetrable forest, with delicious meals and excellent service. The temperatures were very chilly in the evening inside the cabin, so they provided hot water bottle and blankets, which kept us warm. The hotel near the airport was excellent and the free transportation to and from the hotel/airport was beneficial.
This was an amazing once in a lifetime experience!
