Based on 65 reviewsVerified Magic experience Not one to normally submit reviews, but my experience with Mukisa was so spectacular it needs to be shared. Came across this company almost by accident as I looked extend a Kenyan safari with another tour group. I could not have chosen better. The safaris with Mukisa are private so it was just me and a driver, Solomon, and a guide, Alex. Both were outstanding and really made the trip magic. They were able to make adjustments tailored to the preferences of the guest on the fly, and there were more varied activities than the typical "2 game drive per day" itineraries. The accommodations and food were quite good, but it was the people and the country that made this trip most memorable. The experience was truly uplifting and life changing, and I am lucky to have been in such capable hands. Can not recommend more highly.Verified A Truly Unforgettable Experience with Mukisa Safaris – More Than Just a Tour Company! I rarely write reviews, but Mukisa Safaris Uganda and the incredible people behind it absolutely deserve one. From the very beginning, the owner, Richard, stood out. I researched 10 tour companies and I’m so glad I picked Mukisa Safaris. He was incredibly responsive—seriously, I don’t think he sleeps! I had a lot of questions (I mean a lot), and he was endlessly patient and helpful in answering every single one of them. No matter how many details I asked about, Richard was always there with a clear, thoughtful answer and genuine care.As a female solo traveler, I planned and customized a 13-day trip across Uganda and Rwanda, but Richard made the entire process seamless. I wanted a highly customized itinerary, including a visit to an orphanage—and Richard didn’t just help arrange it. He personally visited multiple orphanages himself beforehand to make sure everything was genuine, safe, and aligned with my intentions. He even joined us during the visit to help and support. That kind of dedication is rare and deeply appreciated.My guides, Bridget and Uncle John, became like family to me. Uncle John was the kindest, most patient driver—even though we were on the road for 5 to 8 hours almost every day. Bridget was an absolute gem—always cheerful, always professional, and such a warm, wonderful presence throughout the journey. Despite how intense my schedule was (and I customized it to the max!), they both kept smiling and gave it their all every single day.Not once did I feel unsafe. Not once did I feel like just a tourist. Mukisa made me feel welcomed, cared for, and genuinely part of something special. When I was dropped off at the airport to go back home, I truly felt sad—it felt like I was leaving behind friends, not just a tour team.If you're looking for a company that goes above and beyond, treats you like a human and not a customer, and makes your trip unforgettable, I can't recommend Mukisa Safaris enough. Thank you, Richard, Bridget, and Uncle John—for making this one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.Verified Incredible country, expert guides - memories for a lifetime! We had the most incredible time and would highly recommend Uganda as a travel destination and Mukisa Safaris as expert guides.Uganda is absolutely beautiful - rich in its diverse landscapes, abundance of wildlife, and kind, generous, fun people. We had so many truly awesome animal encounters, including gorillas, chimpanzees, rhinos, lions, leopards and all the extra 'normal' African wildlife you expect to see.But no destination can be enjoyed as richly without the expertise and care of an incredible guide and we were so grateful to have an amazing team at Mukisa look after everything to make our journey carefree. They booked beautiful accommodation for us, navigated across the country safely, arranged more than enough food to feed us twice over so we were never hangry!, and most remarkably, showed us true care and connection.One of the hardest things when choosing a safari company was knowing if we could trust - but we were consistently reassured by the prompt communication, professional assistance, and in the end, the incredibly planned and executed holiday!Cannot recommend highly enough. Do yourself a favour and book yourself any of the Mukisa trips - you will see so much, be so well looked after, and make memories for a lifetime!Verified Trip of a lifetime! (From an avid traveler) The trip of a lifetime! We fit so many great activities into such a short time. We saw everything there was to see (the big five and more!). The chimp and gorilla trekking was the highlight of the trip. We were able to spend so much time just feet away from these amazing creatures. The country was incredibly beautiful. Our guides Veronica and John gave an unparalleled experience with their professionalism and knowledge. By the end of the trip we considered them family. Mukisa Safaris is the way to go if you are traveling to Uganda!Verified Trustworthy, experienced team that you can rely on to take you on an amazing journey I went on a 4 day trip with these guys, and they really went above and beyond to make it a great experience, and looked after me even after the trip.Communications: Both the agent and the director were responsive and trustworthy to text and calls. English was not a problem at allService: Stellar service. The director was personally looking after me prior to the trip for matters such as briefing and sorting out accomodations as well as arranging transport. The team felt like a reliable contact for us in a foreign country.Value: Great value, amazing service and the team are true experts with plenty of experience and add great value in their stories, their knowledge about the land.Reliability: Really responsive and inspired trust. The director is a young yet tremendously experienced go-getter.Richard, Hami, John. Thank you guys for an unforgettable timeVerified Unforgettable Safari in the Heart of Africa We had an amazing time on a private seven-day tour with Mukisa Safaris. Despite the limited time, we managed to experience so much—more than what you'd usually see in two weeks in other countries.Our coordinator, Richard, and driver-guide, John, were incredibly friendly and dedicated to making sure we were happy. Richard helped plan the trip, offered multiple options, adjusted the itinerary to match our preferences, and gave packing tips that proved super helpful. John, on the other hand, was a tireless driver and guide rolled into one. He knows all the animals of the savannah, the best times to head out, and somehow manages to spot wildlife even while driving.Thanks to him, we not only checked off all the activities on our itinerary but even went beyond it. We saw animals that most tourists miss, like hyenas and leopards. He answered all our questions, shared stories about life in Uganda, was polite, cheerful, and always ready to solve little problems that came up along the way.The team at Mukisa Safaris are fantastic partners for anyone looking to explore Uganda, the Pearl of Africa. It’s almost impossible to organize such a trip on your own, especially on your first visit, but with Mukisa, it’s all achievable.Highly recommend! Just one tip—don’t limit yourself to a week; aim for 10–12 days to see everything this beautiful country has to offer. And yes, chimpanzee trekking (and most likely gorilla trekking, which we didn’t get to) is absolutely worth it. Don’t hesitate—it’s an investment in memories you’ll treasure forever.Verified Uganda/Rwanda Safari Had the most amazing time Our guide, Veronica, and driver Solomon were wonderful to travel with Always felt safe, and always knew what we were up to the following day. We were very pleased with most of our accommodations, there were a couple that had a fair amount of construction going on So many animals! Only disappointment was missing the Genocide Memorial in Rwanda. We arrived late, this was totally avoidable, oh well. Everything else was flawlessVerified Mukisa Safaris exceeded our expectetations! Our experience with Mukisa Safaris was exceptional from start to finish. We booked our tour almost a year in advance, and as our departure date approached, we had numerous questions. Richard was fantastic at communicating with us, always responding promptly to every query, big or small. His answers were thoughtfully written, not just copy-paste responses, and they provided us with great reassurance.From the moment we arrived at Entebbe airport, we were able to relax and enjoy our adventure. Every day and every activity was meticulously organized and ran smoothly. Our tour guide, Alex, ensured we were on time and well-prepared for each day's activities. She briefed us every evening about the next day, advising us on what to wear and bring. Alex was brilliant – caring, knowledgeable, and passionate about Uganda and its wildlife. She shared many interesting stories and facts about Uganda and African culture and traditions. We enjoyed spending time with her in the evenings, but she also respected our privacy. Alex made sure we interacted with local people, participated in their activities, visited a local school, and tried local food. Dancing and having fun with indigenous people was a highlight.Our driver, Mande, was also excellent. We felt safe with him behind the wheel, and he always ensured we were comfortable and had the best views of animals and landscapes during our drives and game drives. He made sure we could take great photos without any obstacles.The accommodations improved each day. Staying in camps and hearing the sounds of birds, monkeys, hippos, and other animals was an unforgettable experience, like a symphony of nature. The quality of the rooms and tents was amazing, with comfortable beds and beautiful interiors. The food at every place was delicious – be prepared to eat a lot! Every staff member at each lodge treated us wonderfully; they were kind, smiley, and eager to hear about our adventures.We decided to visit Uganda after watching the documentary "Chimp Empire," which was filmed in Kibale National Park. It fascinated us with ichimpanzees. However, we quickly discovered that Uganda has so much more to offer! We saw all the wild animals up close, feeling like we were in a live National Geographic episode. Observing hundreds of animals eating, feeding their babies, playing, or hunting was incredible. Uganda's beautiful landscapes, safety, rich culture, and kind people made our visit extraordinary. Every forest and safari we visited was breathtaking, and Murchison Falls is a must-see!Chimpanzee and gorilla trekking were the highlights of our trip and truly unforgettable experiences. We never imagined we would be so close to gorillas, even being touched by them and watching them play nearby! The rangers' communication ensures you'll see these magnificent animals, and your safety is their top priority with armed security walking with you.Uganda is a must-see country. In our opinion, while all African countries are impressive, Uganda offers it all. You can see lions, leopards, crocodiles, hippos, beautiful birds, fascinating primates, and stunning landscapes. Choosing Mukisa Safaris was the best decision we made, as they ensured every day of our trip went perfectly! We highly recommend Uganda and Mukisa Safaris.Verified Uganda 20 day trip!! Spectacular This experience has been so great from beginning to end!!! From the time I reached out to Richard till the end everything was super smooth . John our driver and Jazel our guide were so wonderful!! they made the trip seamless and their attention to detail is incredible. Our 20 day trip with Mukisa safari was by far the best vacation we have taken!! Uganda it’s a beautiful country and the people make you feel like family!!! From the car to the hotel, restaurants and activities everything was planned beautifully! We had a lot misconception and worries but none of it happened, they made sure we we're save comfortable and happy!! . Please take my advice and book with Mukisa Safari you will not be disappointed!Verified The Best Safari Company in Uganda! What an unbelievable experience! We cannot praise highly enough the organisers of this trip, our hosts Mukisa Safaris with Richard Kabazzi the company owner, and our amazing, all knowledgeable, kind, passionate and loveable Tour Guide - Hami - no question too hard, nothing to much trouble, and every request greeted with a smile and an action plan, plus her brilliant Driver - Sam. Some of the roads we drove over were worse than diabolical, but we never had a single worry with Sam at the wheel. We had nothing but total confidence in his driving ability. Everything went to plan from the pickup at the airport through accommodation bookings, van transfers from one lodge to the other, timing, fuel and comfort stops, fun stops to purchase roadside nibbles like bananas, pineapples, Jak fruit and BBQ corncobs, lunches on the road, entry tickets to game parks and safaris. Everything went without an hitch…and ‘Oh My God’ the safaris. They were so well organised. Naturally, hanging out with Gorillas was the pinnacle. We had a mother Gorilla with a baby on her back ‘pose’ for photos just a couple of meters away from us before sauntering off into the jungle. Gorillas, closely followed by, in no specific order, rhinos, elephants, giraffe, monkeys, chimps, lions, birdlife, herbivores by the thousands, a croc or two, and the hippos. The Safaris were so well organised each with a guide, animal trackers, and one or two guards with weapons (only firing as a scare tactic in case of cranky elephants). The Ugandans take their world heritage parks and animals so seriously. It was uplifting to see such care. Hami also organised the opportunity for us to visit two primary schools where we donated pencils, pens, writing pads, apples, and personal hygiene items for girls, many of whom have to miss school due to their parents financial inability to purchase such items. Hami also arranged for us to visit a ‘Pygmy’ camp - native jungle people who the government have removed from the national parks and who have found it difficult to assimilate into modern Ugandan life. The people of Uganda are so vibrant, and friendly, and the colour in their clothing...eye-catching. Children waved at us in the van every inch of the tour which pretty much circumnavigated the country. We cannot recommend Mukisa Safaris highly enough. They are Simply the Best!
