Great Kenya experience
4/5

Seven of us went on an eleven-day safari trip to Kenya-Tanzania. Our local guide in Kenya was attentive and highly enthusiastic both in terms of searching for wildlife and in interacting with us. We had an impressionable and thrilled experience for the 6-day Kenya safari.

We could not enjoy Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania due to persistent flooding of the lake. The 2-3 hours morning could consider alternative instead.

5 star experience with Ngoni Safaris
5/5

Just completed a 9 day ( North- south) tour of Uganda and safari with Ngoni Safari Company. From start to finish it was an amazing experience and one I won’t soon forget.

Communication with Sedrick from the beginning stages was prompt and flexible. In addition his price quoted was more than reasonable.

Our guide Eddie and later Smith were both outstanding and only added to an already amazing experience viewing the big 5 animals in the national parks. We started as strangers and left as friends.

I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with Ngoni Safaris. Truly a professional and outstanding outfit.

Operator and Driver worked with the utmost effort to make our trip perfect and memorable
5/5

Our 10 days Uganda trip was perfectly organized by Sedrick, boss of Ngoni.
The best of all was Stephen our driver and guide. From the very beginning until the last minute he tried to make the trip as comfortable and memorable for us as possible. He is a safe and good driver as roads are often challenging. We received any necessary information about country and culture we asked for but also we had much fun as he is a very humorous guy. On game drives he was very alert to find all the animals for us.
We can honestly recommend this company!

No regret for the trip
5/5

Well arrangement from the airport pick up to the end of trip, travel agent contact is rapid and responsible, Smith help me to understand the culture of Uganda/Rwanda, and also let me taste Uganda’s famous local food Rolex🤣, which is huge size for me but delicious, it is really lucky for me to see the wild silver back gorilla in front of me, totally worth of the trip, I am glad I did it!

The perfect adventure provider
5/5

I had an amazing time with Ngoni and most notably Eddy my guide. I traveled solo for this trip so the person I spent 9 days with was key to the experience. Eddy was a pleasure to be around - very personable and knowledgeable. There is a lot of travel time between locations so having the right travel partner is key!

The accommodations were as described and added comfort plus enjoyable meals at the end of each day. They were equal feel of being one with nature but offering the creature comforts I want while traveling.

All animal encounters were incredible but the gorillas stole the show. It was clear they were just as interested in our visit as we were to see them. I loved the challenge of getting to them to see them in their world.

If you are considering a trip to Uganda then I definitely recommend putting your trust in Ngoni to give you a memorable vacation!

24-Day Uganda Trip
5/5

Our 24-day trip to Uganda was nothing short of incredible. Every single day was packed with activities and offered something new and exciting. The itinerary was wonderfully varied, ranging from wildlife encounters and breathtaking nature to thrilling safaris and challenging hikes. The program was so well thought out that we truly feel like we’ve experienced the essence of Uganda.

We were absolutely blown away by the beauty of the country—it’s simply stunning. A big highlight of the trip was our guide, who took excellent care of us from day one. He made sure we had everything we needed, kept us well-informed, and ensured we felt safe throughout the journey.

This trip exceeded all our expectations, and we cannot recommend Uganda enough as a destination for adventure and natural beauty.

Professional & Value for Money
5/5

Before choosing Ngoni we researched many other companies. Sedrick was very helpful with planning our itinerary and delivered not only a great itinerary but all the information that we needed, when we needed it.

We chose mid range lodges and all were good and each had their own character, special mention must go to Turaco TreeTops in Kibale and Kigarama at Lake Mburo. We loved the viewing deck & resident elephants at Buffalo Lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park and the lake view at Lake Mulehe Safari lodge in Mgahinga National Park. Each of the lodges were in great locations for the days activities.

Our Driver & Guide Reagan met us at the Airport on arrival and gave us a briefing for our safari the next day before dropping us at our hotel to rest after our long flight, we found him to be a very respectful and caring person.

Everyday was an amazing adventure and Reagan worked hard to ensure we got the best out of each experience from game drives to Chimpanzee & Gorilla Trekking, leopards, climbing lions & local villages. He was an excellent and safe driver throughout our 15 day trip with all the different roads we had to endure, highway, winding, lots of gravel & rocks and a million speed bumps 😂, along the way sharing a lot about the way of life of Ugandan people.

Reagan started as our Safari guide and driver and ended as our friend, we are so happy to have met him and learn about Uganda, Pearl of Africa.

A highly recommended 5 Star Company.
5/5

Ngoni delivered the most incredible experience I have had whilst travelling solo.
Booking and arranging the trip was easy; Sedrick took care of everything for me.
Tour options were varied and exciting.
I opted for the 8 day tour which included a chimp trek, game drives and gorilla trekking and was fortunate to be guided by Reagan.
Is there anything about East Africa this incredible man does not know?
Wow.
I will be hoping to return again next year.
For anyone who is considering planning a visit to Uganda for the experience of a lifetime, I say BOOK WITH NGONI…

Well Operated Tour!
5/5

Gard was an EXCELLENT guide! We did a 3 day gorilla & golden monkey trekking experience.
The car provided was sufficient for rough roads and Gard was an excellent driver and time manager, making sure we made it to each activity on time.
10/10 would book with Ngoni again and recommend to a friend

An unforgettable family adventure with Ngoni Safari and our guide Eddy!
5/5

We experienced a true family adventure, just the way we like it, with our two daughters aged 17 and 19. Our wish was to combine sports activities, primate trekking, and a few days of safari.
From the very beginning, Sedrick from Ngoni Safari was highly responsive and skillful in planning our itinerary. He perfectly understood our needs and designed a tailor-made trip. He was flexible with payment terms and even accepted last-minute adjustments during the journey (such as changing a hotel to facilitate our transfers), which was very reassuring.
Our trip to Uganda was fabulous:
-Gorilla and chimpanzee trekking in habituation mode: an outstanding choice that allowed us to live a truly immersive experience, far beyond our already high expectations. This was, without a doubt, the highlight of our journey.
-Rafting on the Nile: an exhilarating adventure that the whole family loved.
-Hotels and lodges: luxurious, superb, and very comfortable.
-Transportation: a clean and very comfortable vehicle, perfect for long drives.
A special word for our guide Eddy: knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, he greatly enriched our experience.
Our only small regrets: not being able to taste more traditional Ugandan dishes (lodges offer very few local food options), and the reality of long drives on unpaved or poorly maintained roads, which should be expected as part of the adventure.
Overall, the whole family came back absolutely delighted. We highly recommend Ngoni Safari to anyone wishing to experience an exceptional journey in Uganda.
