Excellent
We had an amazing experience. Sedrick went above and beyond to help us with our needs as we lost our connection flight. The tour itself, accommodations, and driver (Chris) were fantastic. Sedrick even helped us to recovered our bags as they were missing due to the flight change. I fully recommend Ngoni Safari, we felt safe all the time and the payment was super straight forward.
Beyond excellent
The tour guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. Also they were very helpful in every way. We were 8 people and we all recommend their company.

10 days in Uganda and Rwanda with an utterly professional tour operator
10 days in Uganda and Rwanda including four national parks with gorgeous nature and wildlife, such as lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes and of course the gorillas. A truly remarkable experience.
Our guides Eddy and Smith were so professional all the time and you can easily tell they love what they do
They accommodated our wants and needs without fault and we always felt good around them. Both are full of knowledge and experience.
You can't go wrong with these guides and with this company.

Ngoni Safaris delivers expertly planned, unforgettable trips with exceptional guides like Hamza
I recently went on an incredible 13-day safari trip to Uganda in November with Ngoni Safaris, and it was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was flawlessly organized and packed with breathtaking moments.
Our driver, Hamza, was exceptional throughout the trip. Not only was he professional and friendly, but he also provided valuable suggestions to improve the overall experience, which made the journey even more enjoyable. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture added so much depth to every adventure. He also went above and beyond to ensure we had the best opportunities for spotting and photographing Uganda’s incredible wildlife.
The itinerary was thoughtfully designed, offering a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Each day brought new discoveries, from thrilling game drives to serene moments in Uganda's stunning natural beauty. The lodges were carefully selected for their comfort and immersion in the surroundings, making every stay memorable.
Ngoni Safaris delivered a seamless, well-organized experience that I’ll cherish forever. A huge thank you to the team and especially to Hamza for making this trip so amazing!

Highly recommend Ngoni Safari, just had a trip of a lifetime!!
Sedrick the owner is great at responding to all my questions prior to the trip. My guide Allanie was excellent always on time and a wealth of knowledge.
This was the best value for the money. Allan was always on time and went above and beyond to make sure I saw all the big 5 (I do understand it is wildlife and nothing is guaranteed). Sedrick was very flexible and added my request to visit the Mawamba Swamp at the last minute.

Guides were great!
A very complicated tour with hundreds of km a day - but the reward was exciting, gorillas, chimpanzee, elephants, hippos, game rides, river cruises, Africa as is, natural wonders and more.

You’d be lucky to end up with Smith- only operator you’d want!
Words can’t do justice to this 4-day adventure in Rwanda. Imagine being just 2 feet away from a family of Silverbacks (…we’re talking about 17), surrounded by the beauty of Rwanda’s forests. Our guide, Smith, was an absolute gem— incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and endlessly energetic. He became more than a guide—he was our protector and brother. He made the entire journey feel seamless and special, from exploring local markets, the genocide memorial, to the awe-inspiring chimpanzee and gorilla trekking. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our engagement. We’ll definitely be using them again for Uganda next year!

Flexible, fantastic, best guides!
Upon arrival in Rwanda, we were greeted by our first guide, Smith, who stayed with us for the 5 first days in Rwanda. Smith was from the beginning very friendly and when we arrived in our first hotel, it seemed that the booking did not came through, but he arranged it very professionally so we would not notice anything.
The next days we were guided by him were very fun. He was always smiling and making jokes etc. Also, as this was a private tour, we could adapt if needed. For example, there was the Mount Bisoke hike foreseen but we were not really fit to be able to do this, so we could easily change this into the Diane Fossey trail.
After 5 days we had to say goodbye to Smith and we met our 2nd guide who would guide us for 10 days in Uganda, Stephen. But we could not leave Smith before we had a piece of his birthday cake together.
We told Stephen he had a hard job to match to Smith's enthousiasm, but we felt from the beginning that this would not be a problem.
Stephen's knowledge about Uganda was from a very high level. In the 10 days we spend time together he NEVER used a navigator and we always arrived on our destinations without any issues. Also did he know a lot about the politcal/historical facts for Uganda and Eastern Africa.
Stephen was very flexible in the planning (together with the main office of NGONI Safaris). Because we had some issues due to medical reasons to do a lot of and difficult hikes. So he would do his outmost to get us on the easiest trails to track Gorillas or Chimps. During the game drives, he made it happen for us to see multiple leopards and lionesses.
As we forgot a bag with important medication in on of the lodges, he also made it happen that these were brought to us a couple days later together with a guide who was also coming our way (we did the reverse tour of Uganda so it was a bit of a challenge).
To sum up the 2 weeks we spend in Rwanda and Uganda, we could not have any better guides who were this flexible and compassionate and who did their job with more than full of their hearts.
Big thumbs up to Ngoni putting us in Smit's and Stephen's guidance.

Great experience, very professional and excellent guide: Smith. Would recommend
I did the 3-day Habituation with gorillas and it was a great experience, I felt I received good value for my money. Specially the guide Smith made my solo experience very enjoyable. He was well prepared, very kind and organized everything from beginning to end.
Small remark: I would’ve liked more communication from the offices before the trip started, I had to ask them for pickup time, guide name and all additional info on my arrival to Rwanda, the night before the tour started.
Apart from that, once the tour started, it was all well organized and executed. Would definitely recommend

Organised and great choice of places and activities.
We just completed a 10 day Uganda safari with Nogoni and was very happy with our choice. Communication with Sedeick was good, our driver James a great source of knowledge and safe driver. His ability to stay calm in trying circumstances and help us whenever we needed proved he is a great asset to the company. Ngoni's choice of sights, hotels and eating places was great, some of the hotels were so nice our only regret was we didn't allow enough time to "chill" in them! Thanks Ngoni and James, well done!
