Great experience with Nkuringo in Uganda - We did a 10 day private tour of Uganda with Nkuringo and it was fantastic. Morreen from the office helped us from planning until our last moments before leaving the country. Emmanuel our driver and guide was great and knowleageable. The country is not to be missed - Nature, wildlife, geology and people are one of a kind (plus weather and food are great). Itinerary, providers and activities were carefully curated, resulting in an incredible experience - Webale Niu, and hope to be back because there is still a lot to be seen!

Uganda at its best - It was wonderful! Uganda is the pearl of Africa. Nkuringo Safari enabled an excellent trip. My guide/driver Remmy was knowledgeable, experienced, fun, a safe driver and helpful. I saw Uganda and its wildlife at an intimate distance and at close proximity. Remmy went beyond my expectations. Give Nkuringo a call and book now.

nkuringo personalised safari - we booked a peronalised safari through nkuringo. Moreen was exceptional in organsining it and very prompt in responding to all of our queries and selected 4 , very different, but all delighful lodges - in lake mburo, bwindi, qenp and kibale - although the highlight was nkuringo gorilla lodge . our safari guide / driver was Kefar who was first class. a great driver, sometimes on very bumpy roads and the car was kept immaculately clean. he was a very informative safari guide ( had one amazing leopard sighting ) with nothing being too much trouble, including organising a visit to the pangolin sanctuary. one watch out ( nothing to do with nkuringo ) - if you are going to see the chimps i suggest the 1 hour trek is a better option. i booked the 4 hour trek, expecting longer with the chimps but not realising this trip was with chimps that were not fully habituated , meaning they were less confident in our presence and therefore stayed a long way away from us.

An unforgettable Uganda Experience with Bob and Nkuringo - Two weeks of an amazing Uganda experience are behind us. From Entebbe over Ziwa Rhino to Murchison Falls, Kibale (Chimps), Ruwenzori, QE National Park, Bwindi and Lake Mutanda. The trip was extremely well organized and full of great experiences. We thank our great Guide Bob for a tremendous job and guidance through beautiful Uganda. Thank you Bob and Nkuringo, Iris&Marvin

A Memorable Safari Marked by Care, Presence, and Expertise - This was an exceptional safari experience from start to finish, beautifully designed and flawlessly delivered. As a solo traveler, I felt supported, well looked after, and genuinely welcomed throughout the entire journey. Diana was a joy to work with from the very beginning. She was warm, friendly, and highly responsive, while at the same time extremely attentive to my individual needs. Her advice on the different elements of the safari was thoughtful and well-balanced, helping shape an itinerary that felt both exciting and perfectly suited to me. I truly appreciated her guidance, flexibility, and care at every stage of the planning process. Patrick is an outstanding guide and professional. His competence, calm presence, and deep knowledge made the journey feel effortless and safe at all times. He has a rare ability to read situations and respond intuitively, creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere while remaining discreet and respectful. His attentiveness, sense of humor, and genuine care made long days on the road and in the parks deeply enjoyable and memorable, adding a very special quality to this trip. I was fortunate to do my gorilla trek on my birthday, which made this already extraordinary experience even more meaningful. I was lucky to trek solo and spend precious time with a gorilla family — an unforgettable and deeply moving encounter. The guide Emos, together with the rangers and trackers, were kind, supportive, and incredibly professional, and most importantly made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire half-day experience. The game drives and the Kazinga Channel boat safari were exceptional. I was lucky to see the Big Four, with unforgettable sightings of elephants, lions, and a leopard I had especially hoped to observe. I was deeply impressed by Patrick’s knowledge of wildlife, nature, and local culture, and by his thoughtful responses to all my questions, which enriched every experience. At one point I felt uncomfortable with the initially booked boat experience, and both Patrick and Diana addressed this immediately by moving me to a larger, more comfortable boat. I truly appreciated this level of flexibility, responsiveness, and seamless logistics management. The chimpanzee trek in Kibale and the local community activities were equally rewarding. I was guided by Leo, whose warmth, hospitality, and excellent knowledge of local nature and culture helped me connect more deeply with the environment and the people, adding meaningful depth to the journey. The accommodations were impeccable. Nkuringo, Elephant Plains, and Turaco Treetops lodges were all very different in style, yet equally excellent in design, hospitality, quality of service, and delicious food. I was especially touched when Nkuringo Lodge organized a small birthday celebration with a cake — a thoughtful gesture that made me feel truly welcome. Overall, this safari exceeded my expectations in every way. My sincere thanks to Diana, Patrick, and the entire team for creating such a beautifully curated, professional, and memorable experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend this journey to anyone seeking something truly special.

Unforgettable - Beautiful stay accompanied by Patrick Yiga our driver guide who has turned this beautiful trip into an unforgettable trip!

Gorilla dreams came true with Nkuringo Safaris! - I reached out to multiple safari providers for this adventure and Moreen Tumushabe was the most responsive, answered all my questions promptly, and gave us a fair price. Jack was our driver for this adventure - he was fantastic! Always on time, vehicle was always clean, was a safe and very efficient driver and he had a wealth of knowledge about Uganda and the incredible creatures that call this country their home. He selected particular guides that he knows personally for the 2 gorilla treks and 1 chimpanzee trek that we did. These guides/rangers made us feel like VIP's and always ensured we had a front row seat for all the action. We also had a river safari on the Kazinga Channel as well as a Shoebill Stork boat trip. Both of these were private - just us and the boat captain, again selected especially for us by Jack. We stayed at A & K Gorilla Forest Lodge, Elephant Plains Lodge, Kyaninga Lodge & the Protea Marriott in Entebbe at the beginning and end of the trip. Look no further.....book your trip with Nkuringo Safaris!!!

Wild places, wild animals, wild experiences with a wonderful team of professionals - My wife was heading to Uganda for several weeks of work activities, and we had been wanting to visit Africa for years. She did some research on safari operators in Uganda that included opportunities to try and see gorillas, chimpanzees, big cats and the many ungulates of the savanah habitats in Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo National Parks. Nkuringo not only sounded like an operator that could meet our needs, they fulfilled our wishes perfectly over the 8-day safari. Our coordinator for the safari, Moreen, went above and beyond to develop our itinerary to match timing of our separate arrivals to Entebbe, making sure that I had a wonderful place to stay upon arrival. She and our safari guide, Emma, met me at the airport and helped me through a rough start with lost baggage (recovered the next day, thankfully). Moreen was there to welcome my wife when she rejoined me in Entebbe prior to our morning start on the safari with Emma. Emma was quick to probe our interests and adapt our time on game drives and en route to destinations to find great opportunities to for wildlife and cultural experiences. He possesses a wealth of knowledge on the landscapes, communities, culture, and plants and animals, and he patiently answered our barrage of questions on a breadth of topics. During our safari, we were fortunate to see many key species, including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hippos, zebras, chimpanzees, gorillas, gentle/blue monkeys, L’Hoest’s monkeys, numerous kingfishers, woolly-necked storks, and so many more! Emma’s sharp eyes didn’t seem to miss anything on the drives, and he knew where to go in every park when something a little less common might be found. We also met local experts on guided community walks that exposed us to beautiful places and people along the way, and we found those additional experiences of incredible value and interest. Moreen was there to meet with us and gather feedback on our safari experience when we returned to Entebbe. She also accompanied us to the airport when we made our bittersweet departure from wonderful Uganda. We are already dreaming about a northeastern Uganda safari experience someday to try and find cheetahs, gazelle, and other wildlife that are in that part of the country. We will be working with Moreen and Emma again if we can pull that trip off! Without any reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Nkuringo Safaris for anyone planning an African safari experience. Did I mention that Uganda is also the country you definitely want to visit as they literally have it all, including the friendliest people I’ve ever encountered?

Experience of a lifetime! - We had a fantastic tour of Uganda with Nkuringo Safaris and Jack as our guide. The chimp and gorilla tracking experiences were even more incredible than we could have imagined. Hands down the best wildlife experience we’ve ever had! The boat safari and walking safari were also amazing, as were the regular game drives, with close-up views of elephants, hippos, giraffes, antelope, monkeys and more. Jack was the most wonderful guide — kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, responsible, and passionate about sharing the beautiful landscapes, wildlife, and cultures of Uganda (and a great driver!). We felt extremely well taken care of the entire time. All our accommodations were high quality with great service and delicious food. Highly recommended!!

Gorillas, Chimps et alli - We had an absolutely sensational time in Uganda — thanks to the metoculous, “spot on” prepayion by Nkuringo tours. Of all the company’s contributions, there was none more exceptional than the guide (Jack Tkierebere) assigned to us. Jack drove brilliantly while shedding light on every aspect of our experience with his vast knowledge of his beloved country. It was an unforgettable, unequaled trip.
