We had an amazing 7-day safari through Uganda with Cymo African Safaris, and everything was exactly as promised — and even better. Much thanks to Simon, who was always available and ensured every detail was handled smoothly, and to Irene, who helped us so much during the planning stage with great communication and patience.

Our guide, James, was exceptional — knowledgeable, professional, and fun to be around. He made the journey even more enjoyable with his stories, insights, and great driving skills throughout the long but scenic routes.

We explored Murchison Falls, Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest — each destination offering something unique and unforgettable. From powerful waterfalls and chimpanzee encounters to exciting game drives and the once-in-a-lifetime gorilla trekking experience, this safari was filled with adventure, discovery, and pure joy.

Looking back, we can confidently say: choosing Cymo African Safaris was the right decision. Everything was well organized, and we truly felt cared for throughout the journey.

Thank you for an unforgettable experience in Uganda.
— Antonio & Catty

This was our second safari with Cymo African Safaris and once again, Simon and his team delivered an amazing experience! We did a 4-day trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi for gorilla trekking. Everything was perfectly organized — from the game drives and boat cruise in Queen to the unforgettable moment of standing face-to-face with the mountain gorillas.

Simon made the whole planning process smooth, and it felt great to travel with someone we already trusted. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a personalized, professional, and truly local Uganda safari!

To start with the planning we were able to customize a great wildlife tour.
Our guide and driver James was the perfect match. Very friendly and helpful throughout the times. We saw lots of animals with him. And enjoyed nature.
Uganda and Cymo African Safaris are highly recommended

Just came back from an amazing 7-day safari in Uganda with Cymo African Safaris and wow — what an experience! From the moment we were picked up, everything was super well organized and smooth. Our guide was super knowledgeable and friendly — he really made the whole trip even more special.

We got to see so much of Uganda’s beauty — lions in Queen Elizabeth, gorilla trekking in Bwindi (an absolute highlight!), boat rides, stunning views, and so many wildlife sightings along the way. The lodges were comfortable and had great food too.

Honestly, it felt like we were traveling with friends — not just a tour company. Huge thanks to Cymo African Safaris for making this such a memorable adventure. Highly recommend if you're looking to explore Uganda the right way!

We had an amazing experience with Simon from Cymo African Safaris. We went to Queen Elizabeth National Park and Kalizu forest for Chimpanzee Trekking. And took really nice care of us. Before the safari he was always very responsive to all our emails and helped us plan really well for the Uganda safari tour. And found us lovely safari lodges within our price range. A great travel companion.

The option of starting from Kigali made the trip favourable for us since our flight first landed there. Driving to Uganda for the Gorilla Trekking moment was smooth. Not a long drive btw. Then to Bwindi Gorilla park were we had 2 nights at Bakiga lodge, a great pick. Game drive at Queen Elizabeth Park made us see wild animals and lots of birds. Really nice safari with this team. You deserve the stars

We booked a 12 day Uganda safari tour and we were completely amazed by how wonderful it all turned out to be. We were blown away by the experiences, before the departure communication went on smoothly with Simon via mail then to WhatsApp and this was also seen through the entire trip Simon always checked on us;
The days were all full of safari activities, game drives, boat safari, gorilla trek, chimpanzee, community tours we always looked up to the next day. All our accommodations were nice and clean.
