Fantastic experience with Nkuringo Safaris - As experienced travellers, we were looking for new experiences, and Nkuringo Safaris did not disappoint!
Led throughout by the wonderful Remmy Kityo, he guided us expertly from the moment we were collected in Kigali, until dropping us off at Entebbe to continue our journey onwards to Tanzania. His personal touch, and knowledge and experience, greatly enriched our experience - which ranged from gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, enjoying the scenic splendour of Murchison Falls and the wildlife of the national park, to bird watching in the Mabamba wetlands. Nkuringo organised a superb trip, with great experiences, wonderful accommodation (including the lovely Nkuringo Gorilla Lodge).
Overall, a wonderful experience - thank you Nkuringo Safaris. Would thoroughly recommend and certainly be happy to use their services again.

Colorful Uganda - Our 8 day trip was fantastic! The hikes to see the chimps and gorillas were very fun, and not overly rigorous, which was perfect for us. Our guide, Patrick, was knowledgeable and humorous, and very safety aware. We became friends! The game drives were wonderful as well; we saw so many elephants, hippos, giraffes, buffalo and warthogs. Our days were full and fun, with stunning drives through the hills and mountains. The lodges were exceptional; great food, rooms and views! Excellent trip! Thank you!

An Experience Extraordinaire! - The entire experience with Nkuringo Safari was extraordinary! The driver, Patrick showed us phenomenal sights. He also carried on fascinating and informative conversations with us as we traveled. The accommodations and food were excellent! The animal drives, hikiking to the chimps and trekking to the gorillas was nothing short of living in Animal Planet. Seeing the countryside and the hardworking people of the country was humbling. I cannot recommend this experience and this company enough.

Uganda primates safari - trip of a lifetime!! - The experience with Nkuringo Safaris was a lifetime wish fulfilled. The trip totally exceeded our expectations. Our guide for the week, Milton Saturday, was exceptional in every way. If he is assigned to you, you will have a trip of a lifetime!
The proximity to the chimps, gorillas big game and birds was astonishing! We have incredible photos as a memory but the ones in our minds are imprinted forever. Uganda is a beautiful and welcoming country. Do it! You won’t regret it for a second!

A responsive and excellent tour provider - we lucked out with an exceptional guide - We picked Nkuringo based on TA reviews, and we were not disappointed. Communication in advance of our trip was very good, detailed and responsive. We started with a "standard" itinerary and then customized it a bit by adding 2 more days to their standard 8-day itinerary...easy to do. Nkuringo also provided excellent travel advice in terms of packing, what to bring, vaccinations, making sure we had all documents in order, etc.
But what really made the trip a remarkable and memorable one for us was our driver/guide. Jack met us at EBB airport and was with us at every step along the way. We cannot say enough great things about him. Before becoming a guide he'd spent 8 years as a Ugandan Park Ranger, rotating through several of the Ugandan National Parks. As such he was always treated like royalty and as a returning comrade by other Park Rangers every time we went to visit any of the National Parks. We gained as much from our daily interactions with Jack as we did from our time wandering through the various parks in search of Gorillas, chimps and all manner of other amazing fauna. Advice to anyone considering booking with Nkuringo: Request Jack as soon as you possibly can.

This tour was absolutely amazing! - This tour was absolutely amazing! I am a senior lady and was traveling solo. Papa Patrick took care of me like I was a VIP. He made sure that I was safe and had the best of everything. He went above and beyond by getting up early in order to do and see all the things that I wanted to experience. Pappa is now like family.

Unforgettable mountain gorillas - Our guide and driver Yiga Patrick was really very attentive to our comfort and safety. He passed on to us the love of his country throughout our journey. Then our encounter with mountain gorillas was the highlight of our trip.

Thanks, Nkuringo, for arranging our great Uganda safari - Actually our trip was 15 days starting with 3 nights in Entebbe, then flying to Kidepo Valley NP for 3 nights at Apoka Safari Lodge, then to Murchison Falls for 3 nights at Nile Safari Lodge, on to Kibale for 3 nights at Primate Lodge and lastly to Bwinid Impenetrable Forest for 3 nights at Nkuringo Lodge. Our trip was arranged by Africa Odyssey and and by its local affiliate, Nkuringo Safaris. All arrangements were great and Nkuringo did a good job changing our flights back to Entebbe in time for our connecting flights to Doha after the Kisoro airstrip was closed. Patrick from Nkuringo was our driver, guide, trip coordinator for the entire trip and he took care of everything. When we flew from location to location, he drove and was always there to meet us. We experienced several drives on bumpy, rutted roads which provided an African massage and Patrick navigated them as well as possible. We enjoyed our 2 weeks with Patrick and we’re lucky to have him.

Just the most incredible experience - I had the most amazing and unique time on my visit to Rwanda and Uganda. Nkuringo Safaris were great, Diana was so helpful from the day I first emailed them to the day I left the country! My driver/guide Patrick made me feel safe and supported, and was very informative about all the different situations we found ourselves in. Will definitely be returning.
