Amazing Africa experiences with unbelievable sights and sounds. - We started researching this trip a few years ago after hearing about Safaris by Jon from someone my daughter met on a plane. They came highly recommended so when it came time to book a trip, we decided to go with Safaris by Jon. I was delighted to read the day by day schedule Jon had created for our 13 day trip. Each day was planned out perfectly and highlighted all the things we wanted to do. We never had to worry about how and who and only had to focus on having fun. All travel, places to stay, people to guide us and drive us as well as teach us about the various locations was expertly planned for. I would highly recommend Safaris by Jon if you are interested and going to Uganda/Kenya like we did and sit back and let them do the heavy lifting of planning. You will enjoy your trip 100%.

Excellent experience - fantastic vacation - I feel sad writing this review. I want to be back there in the beautiful country Uganda with the great people. We choose '8 Day Best of Uganda' low budget version. Everything was smooth and great. We enjoyed from start to end. Jon helped us before the tour with every my issue and question. Answers were quick and he even helped us with visas. Our guide Ziwa had 8 years of experience. He knew everything and even more. We were a little bit affraind because of first time in Afrika but after some time with Ziwa the fear dissapeared. We spotted animals together, we ate breakfast, lunch a dinner together, we were family for these super 8 days. Accommodation was on high level. Shared bathrooms were always clean. Dinners were large and tasty. I can reccommend this company with no doubtes.

Best Vacations Ever - I went with my mom and we had the best experience ever. We were able to see all kinds of animals, including the gorillas, chimpanzees, leopards and lions. Jon was an amazing guide who always tried to create the best adventures. Uganda is a unique country with an extensive biodiverse fauna which makes it exceptional. We loved to contribute with a small amount to preserve the environment.

Unforgettable Adventure, Highly Recommend - We spent a week with Jon exploring Uganda and contemplating the mind-boggling beauty of the country. It was one of the best trips of our lives, a true adventure. And we couldn’t be happier that among other companies, we chose Safaris by Jon, with Jon himself as our guide. The trip was organized perfectly, and the impressions we got exceeded our expectations. Jon was very thoughtful and caring. He made sure that we felt comfortable, arrived on time, and enjoyed a comfortable commute between the locations. A well-planned itinerary allowed us to experience a diverse range of activities and see different sides of Uganda. Furthermore, Jon is a very interesting person to talk to. We asked multiple questions about the past and present of Uganda, and eventually, we enjoyed a sort of mini-course in Ugandan history. We highly recommend Safaris by Jon to everyone who wants to visit Uganda and enjoy a trip with a very professional guide.

Amazing Uganda - I had originally been communicating with another operator and they suddenly disappeared 3months before my trip was supposed to start. John was recommended by a friend and he replied to my inquiry within 24hrs. Within a week, we had a full itinerary planned and agreed to. The trip itself was even better than expected. John was a great guide, explaining the history and culture of Uganda during our long drives between national parks. I would recommend Safaris by Jon to anyone interested in experiencing the amazing country of Uganda. Very professional and organized and Jon is a great guy.

Amazing introduction to the very best of Uganda! - Jon was an amazing guide - with him we got to see the very best of Uganda while also learning more about the local cultures, customs and traditions. The Gorilla trekking at Bwindi was absolutely amazing. It was the standout experience on the trip and we had the privilage of experiencing the Gorillas in their natural habitat. Highly recommended.

Amazing trip exceeding all expectations - Exceeded all expectations. I did a 9 day safari as a solo traveler with Safaris by Jon. From the very first moment Jon was incredibly responsive and answered all of my (many many) questions in full detail both chatting and over a 1h+ phone call (I had not even reserved anything at that point). He patiently took the time to explain and suggest best options according to my interests and budget. He followed up and helped even consulting visa proceedures to Uganda. Hillary (Ricky) was my guide and he did an amazing job from pick up to last moment. I was wonderfully taken care of all along the trip, and all of my special needs were attended to. He gave LOADS of insight about everything on the trip - all the animals, trees, plants, explained it all very professionally, which made me enjoy the safari even more. I absolutely fell in love with the country and its people. Of course my highlight, like of many who come to Uganda for a safari experience, was the gorilla tracking. It is an unexplainable feeling to be sorrounded by them. Thank you Jon and Ricky, I could not have chosen a better team for my trip. I can't recommend Safaris by Jon enough.🙏🙏🙏🦍❤️
