Wonderful time in Uganda with Ngoni Safaris - We had a wonderful time, saw many animals and stayed at some great lodges. We added a few days in Kampala & Jinja at the end as these were homes to us as children. Our driver/guide David took vey good care of us, we felt very safe at all times.

EXCELLENT FABULOUS HOLIDAY WITH NGONI - NGONI SAFARI WERE EXCELLENT, SEDRICK ORGANISED OUR TRIP TO OUR REQUIRED DESTINATION AND ABOVE, WITH EXCELLENT DRIVER DAVID. DAVID WAS VERY HELPFUL, NOTHING WAS ANY TROUBLE, EVEN TAKING EXCELLENT CARE OF MY INJURED WIFE TO THE EXTENT THAT WE COULD BE DROPPED OF AT THE NEAREST PLACE FOR WALKING AND NEAREST ROOMS AT THE HOTEL. 5 STAR FOR DAVID. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE WHO WISH TO DO SAFARI IN EAST AFRICA. CHANDRAKANT PATEL

Fantastic experience! - Our safari with David was fantastic! Highly recommend. Our driver, David, made our experience exceptional. He always made sure we were happy with how everything was going throughout the trip (and it was 14 days)! We mentioned in passing to him that we were celebrating our 30th anniversary, and a few days later the lodge we were staying at had prepared a special event for us and done up our room beautifully! We were very touched by his thoughtfulness and care. As for the safari itself, all the animal encounters were great, and we saw everything (on multiple occasions) that we had hoped to! All in all, truly an exceptional experience that we highly recommend!

Every single day was a highlight - Sedrick was quick to respond back when I first got in touch way back in 2020, and helped me to tailor an itinerary to my needs. Of course, 2020 didn't pan out so well and I ended up needing to cancel my trip due to travel restrictions, so was very grateful when Sedrick honoured my deposit, no questions asked, a full three years later! The tour itself was INCREDIBLE. We did an 11 day trip through Uganda, covering many of the main regions. I'm not exaggerating when I say that every single day of the trip was a highlight - and I say this as someone who has done a few safari trips before (SA, Kenya, Namibia, Botswana). Our guide, Darius, was down to earth, friendly and welcoming, and a great person to spend the trip with. We enjoyed chatting to him and learning about life in Uganda as well as the the sites we visited. Not only did he have comprehensive knowledge about both the animals and birds (including prior experience working at some of the national parks), but he clearly made an effort to focus on what we were interested in. I can't believe how good his eyesight was. For example, Darius spotted a leopard about 100m off the road in a cactus tree which I struggled to even find with binoculars (you can see it in one of my photos below taken at full 600mm zoom - and not the close up, that was a different leopard!). We were the only car of many driving along that main tarmac road that stopped to take a closer look! We loved exploring Uganda, and it was completely different to anywhere else I've been (even neighbouring Kenya) in terms of landscapes, wildlife and culture. The chimp and gorilla tracking were the focal point for me and didn't disappoint - I'm still looking back though those photos often to relive those experiences. There is absolutely nothing like it. On the accommodation side, each place was fantastic and unique in its own way, from an island in a lake to a lodge where elephants wander past in front of you as you have a drink at the end of the day. Similarly, the food was a consistently high standard. Neither of us got sick at any point, although we met people on other tours who had, so probably best to bring some precautionary meds in case. Overall, this was the trip of a lifetime - I would unreservedly recommend Ngoni Safaris to anyone looking to visit Uganda. And if you're not specifically looking to visit Uganda... Maybe reconsider, it's really worth bumping to the top of your list!

Ultimate lifetime experience - We did the 13-day-long The Pearl of Africa tour, it was truly an ultimate lifetime experience. Everything was well-organized, the whole tour was running really smoothly. Our guide Charles is an amazing guide, we had a fantastic time with him and enjoyed every moment of the tour. Many thanks for everything, we absolutely fell in love with Africa!

Nagoni is the BEST - The entire trip from day 1 to day 12 in Uganda was filled with adventure. James was my guide. He was very knowledgeable about the National Parks. He was polite and tried really hard to give me the best safari ever. I would highly recommend Nagoni for anyone who plans to book a safari.

My trip of a lifetime - I have just returned from my Ugandan safari and I already feel nostalgia for what has been a home away from home for 14 indelible days that count as years. And I am not being hyperbolic when I say that my solo escape to Uganda has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience which will remain engrained in my memory forever. Everything about Uganda spoke to my soul: the sprawling savannah inhabited by hundreds of species of birds and unhabituated animals, the untouched beauty of the landscapes, the huge expanses of wilderness, the unspoilt, rough bush experience, the lushness of the vegetation surrounding the crater lakes in Kabarole district, the sound of the rapids of the Nile river, the warmth and hospitality of the people, the visits to the local communities and the relatively unmediated insights into their lives, the encounter with the chimpanzees in the wild and, last but not least, with the gorillas in their forest habitat, the most memorable, transformative experience of the trip and, quite possibly, of my life. And all this wouldn’t have been possible without the advice, the support and guidance of Sedrick, who helped me put together the travel itinerary that suited me best, striking the perfect balance between intense days and unwinding days; assisted me in selecting the lodges that resonated with me and the landscape they are immersed in (and that follow and promote good conservation practices and ethics); communicated swiftly with me via email from the start, and made transactions easy. But my most heartfelt thanks go to James, my driver, my guide, my companion, for his confident driving that made me feel very secure even on the less travelled roads, for his knowledge in terms of local culture, wildlife and nature, for his insider’s perspective into the Ugandan way of life and customs, for his professionality, his reliability, his kindness, his attentiveness, his friendliness. He definitely went above and beyond to address my concerns, meet my demands and fulfill my wishes. I can’t praise him highly enough. This journey has been a time of exploration and renewal and real bonding. I hope to return to Uganda one day and, when that happens, I will certainly book my safari with Ngoni Safaris.

Adventures in Uganda. - It was a beautiful adventure, our guide tried his best, although he didn't communicate much with us and made some changes that he didn't let us know until he made them. Unfortunately, he did not communicate them with us in advance so that we could approve them or propose an alternative. This is the only but major thing that lowers my rating. Definitely recommend.
