Exceptional honeymoon experience - We just wrapped up an amazing 8-day tour with Ngoni Safari Company and loved every second of it! The whole trip was perfectly organized, and we had an incredible time. The highlight was definitely the gorilla trekking—seeing the gorillas up close, including a tiny baby, was absolutely unforgettable. Plus, thanks to David’s keen eye and professionalism, we got to see a baby leopard, which was an extra special treat. It was David’s first leopard sighting in his 9-year career, so it was a memorable moment for all of us! David, our guide, was fantastic. His passion and deep knowledge about the wildlife made the experience even better. The accommodations were great, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

Unique experience with NGONI that you will never forget - Steven was our tour guide, he is an amazing person with full of life, knowledge and always positive despite the difficult journey. Steven filled us with a lot of interesting information about Uganda, wild life, many other things. We have done safari before but this one with Steven was the best and unique. Ngoni is number 1 safari tour company in Uganda and there is absolutely many reasons for that. Sedrick the owner was very quick with his responses, Ngoni is a true professional company and top quality employees. We meet other Ngoni tour guides along the way and they were all very friendly like all people in Uganda. We definitely recommend you to come to Uganda and have this unique experience. And last, dont forget to tip your tour guide, this means a lot to them. Akif & Angeliki

Trip of a Lifetime! - Our safari tour with Ngoni was nothing short of amazing! It was tough to decide which company to go with because there's so many but we're happy we went with Ngoni. While planning, Sedrick was quick to respond and helpful with creating an itinerary that worked with our schedule and what we wanted to see. Everything was set up perfectly when we got there, we didn't have to worry about anything. We even got a surprise for our honeymoon, which I won't spoil for anyone else. Our guide, Steven, was the best guide we could've asked for. He was fun, entertaining, and informative. He was not only great at spotting animals on game drives but taught us a lot about Ugandan culture as well. When our flight got delayed by a long time Steven came up with more great activities so we didn't have to sit at the airport all day. We got the chance to see zebras and impalas, which we hadn't seen yet. Overall, it was the trip of a lifetime and Ngoni and Steven made it happen. We were genuinely sad to leave but are still beaming at the experience.

Ngoni safari is the best safari company - We went with Ngoni safaris for a 10 today trip last year and we had such a fabulous time that we came back this year for another trip From Sedrick helping with the itinerary and booking to the 3 guides we had James, Steven and Ryan , all were amazing and went out of their way to make us comfortable and they were a wealth of knowledge about every topic related to the fauna , flora, culture , etc Ngoni safaris are the best and Uganda is by my estimation the best safari destination in Africa

Amazing Uganda Safari Experience - We debated, researched, and received multiple quotes before selecting Ngoni for our Uganda Safari experience. The one thing that set them apart and was the final reason we selected them was the superior accommodations proposed. Make sure you look closely and compare with the others. I can say we had every expectation exceeded with the accommodations. I don't want to get too far into this before I mention the professionalism of our guide Paul. He was on point with every detail. He was a careful driver and kept us feeling safe through our trip.  We really were able to enjoy the experience knowing he had everything in place. Paul was there to explain the things that we wanted to know and were interested in without being an overwhelming personality. He was a perfect fit for our Safari. He was knowledgeable and answered every questions we had.  Paul made extra stops along the way to take in all that we could ( especially extra stops in the rural areas where we brought plenty of candy/snacks for the kids, they really appreciate it ). Ok, so the Safari now... We were blown away with experiences that we had throughout Uganda. From the Ziwa Rhinos to Murchison Falls, the Chimps in Kibale, the river cruises, and the Gorillas in Bwindi, our expectations were far exceeded. Because we had a previous safari experience that was excellent, we already had some high expectations so this was really saying something!  The people we met along the way were so welcoming and appreciative of the positive impacts that the conservation and tourism provide to the local communities. Ngoni guided us in a proper safari truck ( the Toyota Land Rover Safari). I would not recommend any other vehicle for the terrain. When you are moving to remote locations in the parks, the last thing you would want to deal with is a breakdown. Other operators were not clear on the equipment being offered, so this was a must for us. When we first reached out to Ngoni, the manager/coordinator Sedrick was able to quickly adjust the trip to our specific needs. We added and removed certain services to get exactly what we wanted, and we are extremely satisfied with the results of those communications. Long story short, don't pass on getting a quote from Ngoni for your safari!

Simply amazing… the gorilla and chimpanzee trekking were just the most amazing experiences ever! - James my guide and driver was excellent and also superb on his birding knowledge which added much to my test trip. The people in Uganda are some of the kindest I have met in the world.

Awesome - It was our first “real” Africa experience. That is why we opted for a tour with a guide. And that was such a great experience. You will be picked up. Drove everywhere. So you can enjoy yourself optimally. You feel safe and completely unburdened. The accommodations were beautiful. Everything is perfectly arranged. The food is delicious! And then the country itself, the culture, the people and all the animals🤩 This is my most beautiful trip ever. And I have already seen a lot of the world. This 10 day tour has everything. It was very special to see the chimpanzees and gorillas in the wild. We had a very nice guide who was a good driver and also told us a lot about his country. And also about all the animals we saw. Also thanks to him. He knew where to look and could also communicate with other guides on the savannah. To be able to spot even more. And we also thought the price for this trip was very important. We got a lot for our money. All meals and water included, all accommodations, the entrances to the parks, the Permits for the chimpanzee trekking and the gorilla trekking. Eddy our driver, guide and very nice, sweet young man. The car, the diesel costs. Everything all inclusive. The contact we had with Cedrick was also very pleasant. it seemed like he was available 24/7. where we could go for all questions about the trip and to book. I can recommend it to everyone!

Trip of a lifetime!!! - What an unforgettable trip! I couldn't have wished for a better guide than Wellen! I highly recommend asking for him as a guide when you visit Uganda. I was a little nervous before arriving in Uganda because I was travelling solo and I had some delayed communication from Sedrick initially, but that was resolved then once I landed and it was confirmed that my guide was at the airport waiting for me. From the very start of the trip to the very end, Wellen was extremely caring, he had tremendous amount of knowledge about Uganda and the animals. He knew the area so well and where all the best areas were. Anything that I wished to see or do, he was able to make those happen. I had said one of the days that I wanted to have more local food and learn how the local food was made, and he arranged that and it so much fun. Visiting all the parks were incredible. We started our game drives early morning, and within the morning on day 1, I had already seen the Big 5 ! Wellen always knew where to look for the animals, facts about them and safety. All of the lodging provided during the trip was great! especially Buffalo Lodge and Arcadia. Wifi was available at all the lodges, but I recommend getting a data sim( Airtel) as some lodges had wifi only in their lobby's. I had also asked for accommodation to be arranged both one day before the start of my trip and one day after. Cassia Lodge in Kampala was excellent, but the last day I was in 7seasons near the airport which was terrible so I recommend choosing another hotel if that one is offered. Sedrick was very understanding when I had told him this, and was quick to respond which was great. Otherwise, every lodge was very clean, had great bathrooms, beds and great food and service from the staff! The Gorilla trekking and Chimp trekking was AMAZING and a memory I will forever cherish. If you are solo, then do not worry, because during those trek's you are placed in groups with other tourists and rangers come with you and adjust to everyone's various fitness abilities during the trek. They make sure that everyone gets a decent amount of time with the animals to observe them, take photos and just take in the amazing moment. Also do not forget face masks as that is required during both of those treks for the health safety of the animals. During the Gorilla trek, they also provided me a walking stick and gloves to borrow ( the trek is steep at times and loads of thorn bushes once you are in the jungle). I have visited many countries before for wildlife and hiking, and I have to say that Uganda has been my favourite. The country is filled with endless natural beauty, and is luscious in wildlife everywhere, but mainly what stood out to the me the most were the people. The people in Uganda are the most welcoming, kind and friendly people I have ever met! I will be posting a much more detailed experience of this amazing trip on my blog nomadicnewton.com in a few weeks time, so if you would like more details on how everything went from the point of view a solo traveller then feel free to check that out very soon. Thank you Ngoni for the epic trip, and I will 100% be back soon! Thank you Wellen and Sedrick! This trip was filled with only endless happy memories that I will forever cherish.

The trip of a lifetime - We recently completed a 9-day Uganda Safari. The tour from beginning to end was wonderful. . Elly, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and helpful and went out of his way to make our tour memorable. Sedrick made sure we had the best accommodation and even upgraded our last accommodation so that we can relax at the end of a tiring trek. The safari was beyond any expectation I had. I would highly recommend Ngoni Safaris.
