5.0/5I was fortunate to come across KAJIE Safaris on Safaribookings.com when looking for a Safari to fulfill a lifelong dream of visiting the gorillas in the wild. I’m so glad I did! I didn’t have a lot of time, so I selected the 5 day, primate- focused safari in Rwanda and Uganda. It was amazing! Sulait was my guide and he far exceeded my expectations! The tour included treks through three beautiful National Parks of Rwanda and Uganda to see the Gorillas, the Chimpanzees, and the Golden Monkeys! Sulait made each day and each experience seamless - from time schedules, to paperwork, to communication between parties, to crossing the border into Uganda. When there were options for a particular experience, Sulait advocated on my behalf. In times where I wasn’t quite sure what to do next, I would look up and Sulait would appear and be there to lead me to the next step. He delivered a great client experience and was exceptional at anticipating all my traveler needs. The accommodations were wonderful, tucked away in the jungle close to the Parks with a great nature ambiance. The rooms were clean with nice, culture- specific decor and were supplied with everything I needed or wanted. The service was truly exceptional at each location! Thanks Sulait for a great experience! I highly recommend Sulait and KAJIE Safaris!

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. ♡

Excellent quick communications! Super fast to respond to emails. Ronald, Justine, and Maxine all responded to my emails very quickly, which when talking with other people is not always the case. Initially started as a solo trip and picked up 2 people as the trip neared. Added two people no problem and they were even able to secure a Golden Monkey permit after they were sold out when my cousin decided to join us 12 nights away from the trip. They worked very hard to make the safari what we wanted. In the planning I changed the itinerary to exactly what I wanted and they do it with no hesitation. We a did a quick 5 night safari as didn’t have a ton of time off. Safari was well run, and they clearly have experience doing this before. Benjamin, our guide, really worked hard to help me get the pictures I wanted. The lodges were all very nice and have no complaints there. I would recommend them with no problem. Really a great trip overall.

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!
