Highly recommended! - Great choice for visiting Murchison falls and Ziwa rhino and managing gorilla permits. Very good and clear communication with Sedrick from reservation team. Our guide Elly took good care of us from the beginning and made sure we were enjoying the trip. He gave us good contacts on other guides and advises for our next days in Uganda. We had a great time with Ngoni.

Amazing Wilderness Week - As a single female traveller over 60 years of age I really enjoyed this holiday. Accommodation was quite basic, but this was too be expected and food showed much creativity but the company was enjoyable and activities varied and very interesting...I strongly recommend this company.

A great holiday - This trip was pretty much exactly what it said on the label. A varied ride through contrasting states. Well organised and well run. No problems and a lot of fun. A good balance of riding and relaxation.

Highly Recommended!! - I contacted Ngoni safaris-only 2 weeks before my arrival in Uganda-requesting a customized 3 day safari in Murchison while staying in specific lodges in both Destinations. Sedrick's communication was excellent all the way. He helped me create my dream holiday in this beautiful country and was quick to answer all of my questions in a professional and friendly way. Sedrick was also my guide and I have to say that he is the best guide I could ever have asked for. Highly knowledgeable, kind, professional, friendly and with a clear love and respect for nature/animals and his job. He truly turned this trip into a once in a lifetime adventure. I will definitely book with them again, the next time I will get the opportunity to visit Uganda. Thank you for everything !

Amazing trip - Booking the trip was made easy by a helpful, honest and caring company. Ngoni safaris director sedrick tailored our tour according to our time frame and preferences. Nothing was a problem. Our guide was 100% professional and accommodating. At all times he made us feel safe and comfortable. His knowledge and insight into his country, the wildlife and social factors made our experience far richer than we expected. Overall it was a truly unforgettable trip. Thank you Ngoni safaris.

I have enjoyed the trip, but not an experience with the Agency - We were really curious when we book this trip. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I would advise anyone who is visiting East Africa to try such a trip to wildlife and nature. Nature was amazing, but not the agency. The agency guy and the driver were nice, but arrangements not: - problem with online payments, managed to pay in 2 days only; - not very informative what to expect and consider; - Late pick-up in the morning; - Ryno park was closed and no one was informed about it, we realized that only after asking when we will arrive at the place; - The road closer to National Park was diaster, there was another better road but have no idea why we drove 1.5 hours more distance to get there; - MTN sims not functioning at the place, the agency has not even considered a solution. Apparently, Airtel sims are functioning and they could be providing us one; - No wifi connection in Murchison River Lodge. The only spot was near the pool area which doesn't work, so we were not able to communicate with our families for 3 days properly. I was not even able to talk to my wife on a night of Valentine's Day (((; - No plugs in tents; - The driver asked us if we have an anti-insect spray with us when we arrived at Murchison Falls. We have never been told what to consider. Or agency should have this immediate stuff ready in the car; The food was ok, the people in the River Lodge were nice. But they have not considered my "no pork" preference in breakfast. Seems the menu is standard for everyone - meat and very choice only. The person, who intended to befriend of hotel's manager was nice to us, but he disappeared when we started to provide feedback about the hotel. So, please consider carefully if you book a trip with this agency. I have provided the same kind of feedback in SafariBookings, but they have claimed to them that I have never traveled with them, to remove my negative (but constructive) feedback.
