We booked this 5 day trip to Uganda with Kubwa 6 and we felt very good service from the beginning of the booking process, Shantel modified the itinerary several times according to our situation and preferences. When we finally arrived in Uganda, our driver and guide, Samuel, was very attentive to us, answering all our questions and solving the itinerary adjustments in real situations, ensuring that we had a trip of a lifetime. In just 6 days, we experienced almost all of Uganda's unique itineraries, including a trip to Kibale NP to see chimpanzees, a boat cruise and game drive at QENP, a serious search for tree-climbing lions in ishasha and the grey-crowned crane, the national bird of Uganda that my friend would love to see, not to mention a gorilla hunt in the forests of Bwindi and a whalehead stork in the mabamba swamps. We had a very happy trip, thanks to Kubwa 5 for fulfilling our dream of coming to Africa safari and we will come back again if we have the opportunity to experience more wonderful trips.

Our family’s first safari experience with Kubwa Five Safaris was truly breathtaking! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and the team ensured everything was perfectly organized. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making every game drive exciting as we spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, and more in their natural habitat. The stunning landscapes, from vast savannahs to serene rivers, left us in awe, and we captured so many unforgettable moments. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and the entire experience was seamless, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment.
The highlight of the trip was seeing Tsavo’s famous red-dust elephants up close, spotting a leopard in a tree, and experiencing the stunning Mzima Springs with hippos and crystal-clear waters.
Beyond the adventure, we learned so much about wildlife conservation and the importance of protecting natural habitats. Visiting a local community also gave us insight into the rich African culture, making the experience even more meaningful. The service was top-notch, with attention to detail and personalized care that made us feel special. Kubwa Five Safaris exceeded our expectations, creating memories
Uganda
We recently embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime safari across East Africa, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our goal was to combine different countries and wildlife experiences, and Kubwa Five offered the perfect variety of combinations.
From the very beginning, the team's commitment to providing excellent service was clear. They were incredibly organized and attentive, giving us all the necessary information well in advance of our trip. In fact, they stayed in touch with us throughout the planning stages and even followed up on our flights and all other details before arrival, which helped to ensure everything went smoothly.
Our adventure began in the breathtaking landscapes of Rwanda and Uganda, where we were fortunate to be guided by Smith.
He was incredibly approachable, always happy to answer our questions and share fascinating insights about the local life connecting with us on both personal and educational levels.
What impressed us most was his dedication to ensuring we experienced everything possible, always striving to help us see all the sights and fully immerse ourselves in every moment, making him a true highlight of our trip.
Our trip continued to Kenya, an extraordinary experience, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Godfrey. His deep knowledge of the landscape and sharp observation skills gave us the best chance to witness rare and breathtaking wildlife encounters.
His ability to read the behavior of the animals made the experience even more memorable. He was always willing to wait for the ideal moment, making sure we didn’t miss any of the incredible wildlife action.
The last part of our safari took us to Tanzania, where we were greeted by our incredible guide, Alfa! From the moment we met him, it was clear that Alfa was a safari expert, and his knowledge of Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was unparalleled. He knew the areas like the back of his hand and was able to locate wildlife with ease—spotting animals before other safari vehicles, which gave us an incredible advantage.
He could predict their movements and always positioned us perfectly for the best views. His sharp eye allowed us to see the Big 5, encounters that we might have missed otherwise… While luck plays a role in a safari, it’s the expertise of a guide like Alfa that truly makes all the difference.
We’ll always remember his unwavering enthusiasm, even after countless game drives over the years.
His desire to help us understand the animal kingdom, the culture and the places we visited enriched our experience and gave us a deeper connection to everything we saw.
While all the guides we had throughout our trip truly represented the company at its best, we were also impressed by how the company maintained constant communication with our guides ensuring that everything ran flawlessly.
This attention to detail made us feel reassured and well-supported from start to finish. It was clear that our experience was a top priority, and we genuinely felt like we were in good hands throughout the entire adventure.
If you’re looking for a safari experience that’s not only well-organized but also enriched by passionate, knowledgeable guides who truly care about the wildlife and cultures they show you, we cannot recommend Kubwa Five enough.

Our trip to Africa with Kubwa 5 was more than perfect and exceptional. If you are looking for and efficient, and well organized trip which can adapt to what you need don't look for anybody else, just talk to Kubwa 5.
We went to Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. It included gorilla, chimpanzee and rhino trekking. It included sunrises and sunsets and the best tour guides that will explain to you how the animals behave and what you want to know about them. We found tons of elephants, giraffes, hippos and of course lions and their cubs. The trip was excellent on timing, great food at great hotels and it was mindblowing when finding and connecting with animals. We were able to even see 3 lions eating a wildebeast, cubs and their mother lion protecting them and even to see how they hunt. Also, about 70 elephants drinking from the Nile river with hippos surrounding them, we saw eagles, ibis and all sorts of birds. We were able to walk with zebras, giraffes, antilopes and wildebeasts in safe environments. And at the end, what made our trip the absolute best for our lifetime is that our expectations were exceeded in all senses. About 9000 photos in around 21 days will help us remember emotional moments and full connection between us and the animals
Mustafa, Godffrey, Alpha and Joseph really took great care of us as our tour guides and we will cherish forever in our hearts this amazing trip. Thank you, Kubwa 5 safaris, for making this dream come true.

We booked three tours with Kubwa Five Safari for our Africa trip, covering six countries: Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Ethiopia. They designed customized itineraries based on our preferences and time constraints, adjusting them based on our feedback.
The team leader, Joseph, and his team at Kubwa Five Safari consistently answered our questions, addressed our concerns, and ensured the program maintained a comfortable pace for each activity. As experienced tour operators, they considered all logistical details, double-checked our flight information, reassured us about visa requirements, reminded us to bring bug repellent and take required immunizations, and advised us on proper attire for the trip.
When one of our flights was delayed, I informed Joseph. He promptly coordinated with the local team to reschedule our activities, ensuring we didn’t miss the helicopter ride over Victoria Falls in Zambia.
During each tour, their representatives met us at every connection, airport, and border, making us feel safe and well-cared-for throughout our journey. Joseph also followed up with us in each town we visited, ensuring we were satisfied with the program and our guide. Our tour guides, Samuel in Uganda and Fikru in Ethiopia went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience in their home countries. Samuel would rearrange activities or adjust the schedule to ensure we had enough time to enjoy the game drives and visit local villages. Fikru invited us to his home, where his wife prepared a delicious traditional Ethiopian lunch. She also made coffee from raw beans, roasted them over charcoal, ground them, and then brewed the coffee. It was tasty, and we all agreed it was the best coffee ever.
They were very knowledgeable about game drives, local culture, and history. Because of them, we gained invaluable experiences that will stay with us forever.
We had a fantastic month in Africa, and I highly recommend Kubwa Five Safari.

Fantastic Experience (No, Really, It Was Actually Fantastic!)
We're not kidding, folks! Everything went off without a hitch, and we're still grinning from ear to ear. John, our trusty guide, showed up on time (miracles do happen!), and was like a walking encyclopedia of awesomeness. He shared his life stories, and we were riveted (who needs Netflix when you have John?!). He was very knowledgeable about animals and birds in all the national parks we visited.
The trip was so smooth, we are pretty sure we heard angels singing in the background. And the best part? No meltdowns, no lost luggage, no "I forgot my passport" moments (okay, maybe just one, but John had a spare... just kidding!).
All joking aside, we can't recommend this experience enough. It was the real deal, and we are already planning our next adventure with Kubwa Five Safaris. If you want a trip that's actually fantastic, look no further!

Kubwa Five Safaris went out of their way to ensure that my son and I had an experience of a lifetime. From the beginning, they were in regular contact with us as the safari was carefully planned. They were flexible and accommodating. Our trip took us through Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania. As we entered each country we were paired with an expert guide for that location, who made certain we enjoyed each day of our vacation. The guides shared their knowledge of the animals, geography, and culture of the area and welcomed our questions. In addition to viewing animals, we were also able to visit cultural centers, a museum, and an orphanage/school. We explored on foot, bike, boat, hot air balloon, and safari vehicle. We felt safe and confident in our guides' driving skills as they navigated the rough roads. We had an exceptional trip and if I am fortunate enough to return one day, I will be reaching out to the kind people at Kubwa Five.
United States
We booked this trip very last minute (1 week before starting) and Kubwa Five efficiently arranged the tour with no problem and even though they had such short notice were able to book some great hotels and lodges for us as well as two fantastic tour guides. Another stand out point of Kubwa was that they always kept in contact and kept us updated on everything we needed to know.
We started the tour in Rwanda, where we were picked up at the Kigali Marriott by the super-friendly and charismatic Smith (insta: Smithtourguide Uganda) who was always upbeat and forever had a smile on his face. SmithTourGuide gave us a city tour of Kigali and then drove us to Volcanoes National Park where we went Golden Monkey trekking.
SmithTourGuide then drove us over the border into Uganda and to Bwindi National Park. It was a long drive but SmithTourGuide made it so much fun and one of the best moments of the tour was when he stopped near a village where there were a group of children, turned up the car radio and we danced with the children off the side of the road. They were so cute, laughing and had so much fun (as did we!).
The following day we had an unforgettable time gorilla trekking and got right up to a group of gorillas. It was amazing and you should definitely do it if you get the chance.
The second part of the tour was a safari in Tanzania and we were met at Kilimanjaro airport by Alpha, our second wonderful guide who took us on game drives at Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. Alpha is an experienced guide who knows the areas like the back of his hand and was often able to locate animals before other safari companies. We saw so many animals including the big 5. Although Alpha must have done these game drives countless times, he was still very enthusiastic and we could see he still very much enjoyed seeing the animals. He also had an enormous knowledge of the flora and fauna and could answer all our questions about the animals, vegetation and geography. Not to miss an opportunity Alpha unexpectedly even took us on a game drive in the morning before dropping us off at the airport and it was so much appreciated.
One unfortunate occurrence was that the estimate they gave us before booking was way off and increased by a whopping 34% when it came to booking. It was blamed on lodge rates and forgetting to add the park fees and VAT (even though they were shown as included in the estimate). I understand that lodge fees may have been more expensive as it was quite last minute but the rest was a huge error on their part.
That issue aside, we really enjoyed our 11 days exploring Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania and I would highly recommend Kubwa Five as a friendly and caring company who truly want their customers to have a great time. I researched a lot of companies before committing to Kubwa Five and I believe I made a really good choice.
United Kingdom
Initially we did not really know what to expect, so we bombarded Kubwa Five Safaris with what might have been considered to be an unreasonable amount of questions - where to go, what would we see, where would we stay, and who would travel with us. Every time we asked a question the team responded incredibly quickly and were happy to answer the many follow-up questions that we had. Ultimately, we decided to travel as a couple with one of their local guides who would accompany us and drive us from location to location over the course of our 12 day trip. The Kubwa Five Safaris team were happy to customize the itinerary to make the absolute most of our time in wonderful Namibia (even when we asked them to add a last minute game drive before going to the airport to fly home). Our guide Angelo did an amazing job looking after us. Not only did he take the pressure away from the daily driving on unpaved roads, but he was our nature/cultural/city/history expert, and with him our unforgettable trip exceeded our every expectation. We started on a high at a private game reserve, before spending a further three days in Etosha National Park. After having spent two interesting days in Damaraland we moved on to Swakopmund with the German history before tackling the dunes in a 4x4 around Walvis Bay. Our final couple of days were spent in Deadvlei climbing "Big Daddy", overnighting in the Kalahari, before returning to Windhoek for the flight home... twelve amazing days filled with experiences of a lifetime and we cannot thank Kubwa Five Safaris enough for being with us every step of the journey. We are already thinking of where to go next with this amazing agency :-)

What a blast to have experienced a 3-day Murchison Falls safari trip with Kubwa Five Safaris! The people behind the titles were super communicative throughout the whole procedure; open and willing to listen to our needs, up-to-date and extra kind. We were lucky enough to have been accompanied on this journey by the contagiously energetic Silas, who took the best care of us during our trip. Prioritizing our needs and wishes, trying his best for us to catch a glimpse of our beloved wild animals, being extra flexible with the schedule, and always there giving us engrossing insights. Couldn't have asked for a better team for this magnificent experience, highly recommend them to whoever's into experiencing the wildlife while tuning in great vibes!
