13-days safari with Kajie Safaris in Uganda
The planning was really detailed and Ronald was really cooperating in the organization – also for the payment everything was clear and honest, even flexible because we had some extra free days to spend and they were available for driving us from and to the airport as needed. During the safari our guide was Martin, a good guy who was friendly and nice and helped us with some advice to be best prepared to the activities. Everything was well done: the car and boat safaris, the relaxing moments on the lakes shores, the car transfers always calibrated, and the lodges and the food. In one case we also had a free upgrade to a suite due to some workers making noise in front of the balcony! We also had some adrenaline activities: trekking on Rwenzori and rafting on the Nile.. it’s incredible how Uganda can surprise you with so many different things! Definitely recommended; with Kajie Safaris you can also make safaris in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda - we chose Uganda because it was our first time in Africa, but if we should come back in one of the other countries we would surely chose them again!

Safari in Uganda a wonderfull country
Thanks to Ronald and Kajie Safari we visited some of the wonderful places of this beautiful country. We saw gorillas, chimpas, lions, rhinos, parks, falls... a lot of amazing & unforgettable things. Ronald has been a really nice guide for all the journey, really kind, available and patient. We enjoyed the time with him during all transfers and for all the time we spent together. We also appreciated a lot his availability and flexibility for adjusting every time things as we would like to change (sometime suddenly). He was also really transparent and honest in all dealings, costs and payments we had. He was also impressive in the fast and complete responses he provided us before the holidays (to adjust, plan, decide, etc) and during our stay.
Thanks a lot, we will for sure recommend Ronald and Kajie to all our friends as we recommend to all readers of this post to engage him for any info and ideas about Uganda. Thanks. Daniela & Massimo

Awesome
Ronald was very knowledgeable of the area. My girlfriend and I went to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Ronald knew where to go and where to find all the animals. He was very courteous and patient and provided wifi on the trip.

Amazing Uganda, wonderful tour with Kajie Safaris
My husband James and i had been looking all of the internet for a tour to Africa, we read the 12 days tour program from safaribooking website and we were not disappointed. Ronald was prompt to answer all our queries and the booking process was a no problem, Martin our Guide was a funny and professional driver and very knowledgeable about many things in Uganda.
I would recommended Kajie Safaris to anyone planning a safari to EastAfrica and we shall surely use it incase we plan to go to Africa again.
EXCELLENT for Kajie Safaris

12 day Uganda tour, gorillas & wildlife
Ronald from Kajie was extremely quick to respond to messages & emails right from the first contact up until we arrived. He was very happy to reorganise the tour to suit our available time, and also change things when asked during the tour. My partner injured his leg before we left, and Ronald was happy to change some of our activities, and did his best to ensure our rooms/tents were close to the restaurants and so forth, to make life easier for us. He picked us up from the airport, was with us the entire time, and dropped us back at the end of our tour.
All our accommodation was lovely, and the meals were excellent. There were some long driving days, but that was due to all that we wanted to fit into our time in Uganda. We saw the gorillas, chimps and plenty of wildlife in various parks, as well as lovely scenery and some interesting cultural experiences. I would recommend Ronald and Kajie to my friends, and have done so!
P.S. Ronald even had a WiFi modem in his vehicle, and he was happy for us to use it in camp at night which was lovely.

6 Day trip with Kajie Safaris
Incredible week in Uganda with my great guide Ronald from Kajie Safaris. Ronald is prompt to answering emails, lets the schedule be flexible (we had an extra game drive on my last day so I wouldn't have to wait in the airport for my late night returning flight), knows the local history and culture, and can provide options for all price ranges. If there is something extra you want to do or something you don't want to do, just tell him. He has visited so many game lodges and restaurants throughout Uganda firsthand, so he can recommend whatever you are looking for. His safari vehicle has fast wifi, a charging station for cameras/phones, and a roof that pops open for taking pictures on the game drives. Ronald was with me from my airport arrival to my airport departure.
My trip was a 6 day adventure which turned out to be a private safari as I travelled by myself. Of course, the gorilla trekking experience is a must and was the pinnacle of my vacation. Although I booked rather late (about 1 month before departure), Ronald was able to obtain the required permits and even recommended which trekking group I should go with depending on the ease or difficulty of the trekking. (I requested a more challenging experience but you can opt for a more moderate trek as well). There is simply too much to describe in writing about my Ugandan trip, so I recommend you experience it for yourself. My only regret was that I had just 1 week; aim for 2 weeks!

Value for money, client focused company
Booked with this company on a recommendation from other travellers. We booked the budget version and were very pleasantly surprised at our lovely accommodation which definitely did not feel budget. One lodge even has a very large hippo wander through the campsite but a security guard is never far away as your grabbing your camera.
From the first email, the communication was clear and quick. All options are explained and Ronald was fantastic at altering the tour as we added more options. The price was clear and the breakdowns updated efficiently as we altered our plans. Payment is confirmed and receipted quickly and a detailed itinerary supplied. The van was spotless and very comfortable.
The gorilla and chimp trekking, well no words can really describe just how you have trekked into a national geographic episode. I felt that Kajie tours understand the magnitude of this specific tour and work hard to make sure it is special. Onesmus was an enthusiastic guide who made it a wonderful trip.

Excellent!
There is nothing bad to say about this company and their tours. It was just perfect. First Ronald immediately answered our emails and tailored a special 6 day tour for us. Ronald then came and met us at Lake Bunyonyi before he handed us over to our extremely helpful guide Reward. Reward certainly lived up to his name. We couldn't have asked for a better guide or driver. He was enthusiastically commenting on all the birds and animals we encountered. All the time he was thinking of our needs and is certainly the best and most careful driver I have encountered on the African continent.
Also the value for money must be mentioned. We took the budget option but the food and accommodation was definitely a higher standard than we expected.
Reward took us to the incredible Bwindi Impenetrable National Park where we were rewarded with a close up encounter with the rare mountain gorillas after a very strenuous hike. We also got to see chimps, hippos and lions in Queen Elizabeth Park.

From the first email contact to the last drop off at the airport Ronald and Kajie Safaris were A++
Kajie Safaris front man Ronald was a star from the very beginning. All email querys were answered within the hr and he understood immediately the needs of an ageing and demanding Scotman. The quotes were very competitive and I was fortunate to have had Ronald personally recommended by Ugandan friends who had also used their services.
The tour itself was one of a little drama, great excitement and sheer wonder at the glory of being 10ft away from a massive beautiful silverback. Please dont be put off by the stories of 2 to 3 hr hikes through tough jungle. If you are older like myself and perhaps equally a little unfit, please note that our Tour guide Onesmus put in the fix and arranged a visit to see a family that required just a 15 minute hike through the jungle. My wife and I have been on several African safaris, but seeing the silver back up close with his family was unforgetable ......... simply the best.
We stayed at the Lake Mutanda Resort .... if there is a more lovely area in Africa, then I need to visit there next. An absolute paradise for bird watchers. The welcome we received and the service were spot on.
If I have any advice to travellers ..... if you have the budget for it do use the internal flights. Long journeys on bumpy roads do take it out of you.
A visit that will remain in the memory banks and a company that are a credit to Ugnada. Well Done Ronald.
