It’s impossible to say enough good things about this trip and the service that Mukisa provides. From booking through to arriving home, they were attentive and informative. The business owner, Richard, was always quick to reply to any questions. He met me personally at the airport to welcome me and introduce me to my guide, and he met me again before my flight home to ask for feedback and thank me for coming to Uganda. Mukisa emphasises hiring female guides, and I had the absolute privilege of travelling with my guide Bridget, who is the sweetest human, a fountain of knowledge about Uganda, and just excellent at her job. As a solo female traveller it was really lovely to have a female guide, and made my experience in Uganda even better. We were accompanied by our driver, Solomon, who is a lovely man, a fantastic, safe driver, and absolutely incredible at spotting wildlife even whilst driving! The three of us had great conversations, and a lot of fun! The tour itself was fantastic- it was incredible to see so many animals (we saw all of the big five by my second day!). I booked the tour initially for the gorilla trek, which was amazing, but Uganda was so much more than I expected. The landscapes and climate are so diverse, the people so welcoming, the food delicious (make sure you eat plenty of Rolex!!). The gorilla trek is hard- make sure you have trained before your trip, as it will make the experience so much more enjoyable. Also I would suggest you hire a porter, even if you feel you don’t need one. The porters are people from the local community who only get to work as a porter once a month, and it’s important to support this as part of your visit. It also makes the trek easier, as it will be harder than you anticipate- my porter ended up helping other people who hadn’t hired anyone. The accommodation was good- a mix of hotels and safari tents, all with private bathrooms. All meals were included, I just had to pay for any drinks I wanted. Don’t hesitate to book this trip, and if it’s not quite right then contact Richard and he will happily work to tailor it for you. Honestly just the best experience. I don’t normally go to a country more than once but will definitely be looking to explore more of Uganda and Rwanda with Bridget and Solomon in the future. Thank you Mukisa!Show more

Can not say enough great things about Mukisa, Bridget (Guide) and John (Driver) who all helped on our 10day adventure. Richard at Mukisa was more than communicative, prompt and went WAY above and beyond when I got delayed a day by the airlines and then my bag was lost for the 1st half of our trip. The man drove 9 HOURS, yes 9 hours 1 way to bring me my things personally. Bridget/John were knowledgeable, safe, fun and now family. Whether you are going by yourself (single ladies I'm talking to you) or with a friend/family I would fully trust Mukisa to treat you right and take care of all of your needs! I would also like to point out that the owners have taken it upon themselves to hire female guides which is not common in Uganda so for my supportive, independent females out there...know this is the ONLY company to use!Show more

We traveled through Uganda for 10 days with Mukisa Safaris. It was a wonderful trip. We were accompanied by two guides: a very competent driver, well-connected and knowledgeable about the country, and his colleague, who managed everything. I would like to emphasize that Mukisa Safari also offers female guides employment opportunities. We really appreciated this, and it enriched our trip. The tour was exceptionally well-planned, we had nice accommodations, and we felt very well looked after by both of them. They always tried to accommodate our individual needs. The daily distances were appropriate, we had incredibly beautiful wildlife encounters, and we enjoyed the magnificent and diverse landscapes of this vibrant country. Thank you for the wonderful trip!Show more

We just completed a 27-day private safari through Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania & Zanzibar with Mukisa Safaris Uganda, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we began planning, Richard was attentive, responsive, and incredibly thorough—crafting a fully customized itinerary that reflected our interests and travel style. Every accommodation was thoughtfully selected: luxurious, unique, and consistently offering exceptional food and service. Our guide Veronica was warm, deeply knowledgeable, and always accommodating. Solomon, our driver, navigated challenging terrain with calm professionalism and genuine kindness. We felt safe, supported, and inspired every single day. What truly elevated the experience was the people—welcoming, hardworking, and full of heart. Mukisa Safaris exceeded every expectation, and we’re already dreaming of our next adventure with them. If you're looking for a deeply meaningful, well-organized, and unforgettable East African journey, this is the team to trust. Steve & Bridgette Vancouver, CANADAShow more

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!Show more

We had the most wonderful experience in Uganda. Everything about this tour was excellent - it was perfectly organised and included once-in-a-lifetime activities, kind and accommodating staff, delicious food, beautiful accommodation and fantastic communication throughout. We told our lovely tour guide, Allen, that we wanted to try some local food so she brought us to the home of an acquaintance, who cooked us a big feast. Richard was fantastic to work with from beginning to end. Before the tour, there were times I e-mailed Richard when it would've been in the middle of the night for him, and I still received a response minutes later. At one point the A/C in our car stopped working, and the next day Richard sent out a new car with working A/C for us to use, despite us being on the other side of the country (we never requested it - they were just very proactive!). He picked us up from the airport (quite rare for a tour CEO to do so) and called me at the end of our trip to discuss our experience. The staff really went above and beyond to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. We really couldn't have asked for anything more and we’ve come home with a lifetime of amazing memories. Right now I want to go back to Uganda!Show more
