Great company, great tour! - This was one of the best trip I have ever did so far. It started with a warm welcome by my driver and guide James. I always felt safe and welcome as a female solo traveller and can relly recommend it to everyone. The choice of lodges and activities for a 7 day Tour was perfect and I will keep it in my heart forever. Sedrick is a great guy and always stays in contact with you if you have any question

Outstanding experience with Ben and Ngoni safaris - Sedrick was the one organized the tour… he was very clear about pricing, what was included, itinerary, etc. Ben Ndugwa was our tour guide for the entire 7-day adventure, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide, companion, and new friend. A speaker of English, Luganda, and Swahili, he is a proud Ugandan who knows a lot about the country, the national parks, safaris, animals, and trekking. Unfortunately, he was not able to accompany us on the actual gorilla trek, due to the high cost of permits, but he has previously experienced it so we were able to share the experience. At all stops, he was able to tell us exactly what we needed to wear or bring, and what to expect to make the most of the experience. (We met other tour groups on the way and found that they weren’t always as informed or prepared as we were.) While Uganda is a generally safe country, Ben made us feel especially safe and comfortable along the way. We plan to return to Uganda and will definitely ask Ben to be our guide. Highly recommended experience with him and Ngoni Safaris.

Outstanding Tour Operator - Uganda is unbelievable and my experience would not have been nearly as fun with another company. From the very beginning, Sedrick was very attentive and easy to work with. He helped me customize a great itinerary that encompassed what I wanted to see in Uganda and accommodated a Covid related issue I had that delayed my arrival. He knows the country extremely well and made great suggestions to augment it with other activities. From the very moment I stepped foot in Uganda, he and my guide, Alonso, made sure I was having fun and felt at home. Although some of the drives were long, we had some interesting conversations that made the rides go by very quickly. Ngoni also picked great lodges so catching up on sleep afterwards was really easy. I think I have been to fourteen African parks and Murchison Falls is probably my new favorite. The boat cruise and visit to the top of the falls are really not to be missed. One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. The gorillas too, unsurprisingly, were amazing. I can’t recommend this company enough! They are personally invested in their guests and truly want everyone to have fun.

Good week in Uganda! - It was an excellent week. Everything is taken care of, and we got to see lots of animals; tracking the gorillas is a highlight. Lodges are high quality with good meals included. The guide, Stanley, was an expert game spotter and a safe driver. The trip does involve a lot of driving as the distances are large.

Seeing Lots of Animals and Uganda - The schedule suited my time in Uganda exactly and was a great opportunity to view some of the top wildlife and natural wonders of the country. Lodgings range from mid-range to near upscale and are in beautiful locations. Food is good and ample. My driver, Stanley, was expert at spotting wildlife and, very importantly on the Ugandan roads, a careful and skilled driver. You see various parts of the country on this tour, and due to distances, be aware you'll spend quite a few hours on the road. One thing they might add is an itinerary going into more detail ahead of time on each day's activity and suggested things to bring. I was concerned about the needed COVID test for return home, but they took care of arranging that, and it turned out successfully. Overall the tour was a real highlight and is highly recommended.

Wonderful Trip - First, our guide James was awesome. He took care of us and made sure we were comfortable during the entire journey. All of the lodging was adequate. The last two nights at the Gorilla camp and the lake were amazing. The Rhino Sanctuary was only “Ok”. Seeing the Rhinos was fun but the food for lunch was terrible. Was not fresh and most likely reheated in a microwave. Murchinson Falls was amazing. The boat ride to the falls was perfect. Lots of animals on the banks of the Nile in the way to the falls. Recommend the morning boat tour as the afternoon tour was quite hot. The Safari game drive in Murchinson National Park was decent. If you have been to Masai Mara in Kenya you will be disappointed with the Murchinson Game Drive. Ft. Murchinson Lodge was ok. I’d give the food 3 stars. The accommodations were adequate. The Chimpanzee Trek was fun and the accommodation was adequate. The highlight of the trip was the Gorilla Trekking. Worth every bit if the cost. Spent 90 minutes with the gorillas. Just amazing. Overall, we had a wonderful trip. Recommend bringing extra food if you are not a fruit eater. Very limited protein options. Additionally, there was lots of driving. Be prepared for some long days in the van. Of note, there is no Wi-Fi in the van and most of the accommodations have limited Wi-Fi connectivity.
