Best guide, great animals, awesome experience!!! - I had an incredible time! Our guide Eddy made our experience so amazing, I feel so thankful that we were with him. My favorite things we saw were the lions, elephants and rhinos! The lodge was great, and I felt very taken care of the entire time. The schedule always felt clear and I didn’t have to worry about anything while on the trip. Again, having Eddy guide us these past few days was a true joy, he’s the best!!!

Big 5 Safari, 3-day - Expertly planned. Charming guide. Clear communication. Saw 4 of the Big 5 in 4 hours. Ngoni Safari is the company to use. Eddy was our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Eddy was upbeat, insightful, informative, and seemed to know every other park ranger and tour guide we came across. Eddy is the best. Our group of 5 loved the accommodations Ngoni Safari put together for us in Murchinson Falls Park, staying at Tilenga Safari Lodge, for our 3-day Safari (2 days in the park, and 1 travel day round trip to Entebbe). I recommend you make the best tour decision for you, and go with Eddy at Ngoni.

Great Safari experience - Great Safari experience! Amazing places and beautiful animals. My guide was extremely competent and knowledgeable and very friendly! Would definitely recommend. The 3 days tour is a bit tiring, an extra day would be better but if you do not have the time for it, it is definitely worth!

Highly recommended! - Great choice for visiting Murchison falls and Ziwa rhino and managing gorilla permits. Very good and clear communication with Sedrick from reservation team. Our guide Elly took good care of us from the beginning and made sure we were enjoying the trip. He gave us good contacts on other guides and advises for our next days in Uganda. We had a great time with Ngoni.

Amazing Wilderness Week - As a single female traveller over 60 years of age I really enjoyed this holiday. Accommodation was quite basic, but this was too be expected and food showed much creativity but the company was enjoyable and activities varied and very interesting...I strongly recommend this company.

A great holiday - This trip was pretty much exactly what it said on the label. A varied ride through contrasting states. Well organised and well run. No problems and a lot of fun. A good balance of riding and relaxation.

Highly Recommended!! - I contacted Ngoni safaris-only 2 weeks before my arrival in Uganda-requesting a customized 3 day safari in Murchison while staying in specific lodges in both Destinations. Sedrick's communication was excellent all the way. He helped me create my dream holiday in this beautiful country and was quick to answer all of my questions in a professional and friendly way. Sedrick was also my guide and I have to say that he is the best guide I could ever have asked for. Highly knowledgeable, kind, professional, friendly and with a clear love and respect for nature/animals and his job. He truly turned this trip into a once in a lifetime adventure. I will definitely book with them again, the next time I will get the opportunity to visit Uganda. Thank you for everything !

Amazing trip - Booking the trip was made easy by a helpful, honest and caring company. Ngoni safaris director sedrick tailored our tour according to our time frame and preferences. Nothing was a problem. Our guide was 100% professional and accommodating. At all times he made us feel safe and comfortable. His knowledge and insight into his country, the wildlife and social factors made our experience far richer than we expected. Overall it was a truly unforgettable trip. Thank you Ngoni safaris.
