We’ve just returned from two wonderful weeks in Uganda with Ananias from Prime Safaris.
Our trip got off to a flying start with a visit to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where we came face to face with rhinos on foot.
We then drove on to Murchison Falls National Park, where we admired the waterfall both on foot and by boat. During the boat trip, we were given detailed information about the flora and fauna to be seen in and around the banks of the Nile. The game drives in the park also lived up to our expectations: on the first day, we saw buffalo, elephants, antelopes, warthogs, giraffes and… a leopard! Ananias really did his best to ensure we could see all the animals.
Our next stop was Kibale National Park, where, whilst searching for chimpanzees, we were rewarded with a close encounter with one of the primates. Ananias had briefed us thoroughly on safety during this visit, so we didn’t have to worry at any point.
We then set off for Queen Elizabeth National Park, where we spotted a sleeping lion immediately upon arrival. Later, thanks to Ananias, we also saw the famous tree-climbing lions in Ishasha.
As we naturally wanted to see more primates after the chimpanzees, we decided to go gorilla tracking as well. Ananias had told us beforehand that it could be a long trek and prepared us for that. The hour we spent with the gorillas then flew by and was a real highlight of the trip for us!
The penultimate stop on this trip was at Lake Bunyonyi. There, we had the chance to relax a little more.
Afterwards, we drove on to the final national park on our trip, Lake Mburo. Thanks to Ananias, we were already able to spot a shoebill stork here.
Finally, we headed back to Entebbe, the starting point of our trip. On the morning of our departure, we went in search of the shoebill stork once more and were able to observe this impressive bird up close.
Throughout the entire trip, Ananias made sure we got to sample the delicious local fruit and food. He drove carefully on the challenging roads, so we always felt safe with him in the jeep. His enthusiasm and sense of humour helped make for an unforgettable trip. Thank you, Ananias!

Amazing Ugandan Safari
This was my 2nd safari, did Kenya previously 10 years ago with a different tour operator and it cost a lot more money. This time I chose Prime Safari’s because of the cost benefits and felt I received just as much value if not more for the money spent. I decided to do this trip a month before hand and Cate provided amazing customer service in helping put this trip together at basically the last minute . Our 10 day safari was truly amazing as was our private guide Joseph. I am beginning to plan another safari tour about a year from now now and Cate at Prime Safaris will be the first person I contact to make this trip happen.

An amazing experience around Rwanda and Uganda.
We went on a safari tour of 16 people split between three jeeps for 10 days. Aside from the incredible sites that we got to see the team of three guides that drove us around were outstanding in their care, honesty, and energy.
We felt safe the entire time and were provided with all necessary information before going on treks, safaris, etc so we were never caught out unprepared.
My family was in Tinka's truck. He was an excellent guide and friend for our trip. He always held our best interests first, getting us around safely while having a good laugh. We will all look back fondly at the time we spent on the tour with him.
Thank you, Tinka!

Dear George,
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review. It truly means a great deal to us.
Hosting your group of 16 across three vehicles for 10 days was an absolute pleasure, and we’re delighted to hear that the experience — beyond the incredible wildlife and landscapes — was made even more special by the care and dedication of our guiding team.
Your kind words about feeling safe, well-prepared, and fully informed before each trek and safari are especially meaningful. That level of professionalism and attentiveness is something we deeply value at Prime Safaris.
Tinka will be overjoyed to read your message. He truly embodies the spirit of what we aim to offer — safe travels, genuine connection, plenty of laughter, and always putting guests’ best interests first. I will personally make sure he receives your heartfelt “Thank you.”
We are so grateful you chose to travel with us and that your family created such fond memories during the tour. We would be honored to welcome you back to East Africa anytime.
Warmest regards,
Cate

The perfect trip!
Cate from Prime did an amazing job planning our safari. Every minute was thought out and she gave us exactly what we wanted. Our driver Ananias was excellent. Uganda is stunning. Highly recommend that you go to Uganda and that you book your trip with Prime Safaris!

This trip exceeds my expectations. Thx Prime Safaris and Jerome
We have a fabulous ten day with our guide, Jerome. We did chimpanzees and mountain gorila trekkings, not to mention the game drives. The office also does a good, job to prepare for our arrival. Jerome drives safely and he is very informative, helpful and polite.

Uganda Adventure June 2024
Prime Safaris was a pleasure to work with from our first contact with Cate in the office to saying goodbye to Annais and Charles after a fabulous 9 days! We started in Murchison Falls and made our way down the west of Uganda, including incredible game drives, chimpanzee and gorilla trekking and stunning river cruises! I highly recommend this Ugandan owned safari company to anyone interested in experiencing the lovely hospitality of the Uganda people and the diverse and beautiful national parks of this very special country. My group of 11 are well-travelled people and we agreed this adventure was the best of all of our travels!

Exceeded my expectations 💯
I wish I could give a 10!
From the start with the communication from Cate planning the trip and organizing the 11 of us comming from 8 different locations in the US. Each lodge we stayed in got better and better. This was a trip of a lifetime for me. We traveled with 5 college friends and family. We bonded even more during our adventure. Our guides Charles and Ananias have now become part of our family. As we ended the trip some of us were crying. Who cries as a trip comes to an end??? Our guides got us from one end of Uganda to the other and back with precision time and lots of extras. Happy hour, banana hooch, jack fruit, craft shopping, and drum music. The food on the tour was amazing. Who knew Uganda has so much to offer. Felt safe the whole time. Already planning our trip back to explore the eastern side of Uganda.

0 complaints, A++ experience!
I cannot rate Prime Safaris highly enough. This was truly one of the most memorable travel experiences (and experiences in general!) of my entire life.
We were a large group (11 people, split over two vehicles), and our guides Charles and Ananias went above and beyond in ensuring that we had the best experience possible. I think I speak for our entire group when I say, honestly, that we would not change a single thing about our entire trip. Prime Safaris exceeded expectations on every level. I was in Charles’s vehicle, and spent time with him primarily, but got to know Ananias as well and can vouch for both of them equally as being some of the most caring, dedicated guides. By the end of the trip, I am proud to call them my friends, and will absolutely be reaching out to them in the future for another Uganda safari with Prime Safaris. Charles and Ananias are perfect ambassadors for Prime Safaris, and for the country of Uganda on the whole.
Besides seeing amazing scenery and wildlife, we had unique cultural experiences as well, including some unexpected ones which our guides organized to surprise us. We always felt safe and cared for throughout the duration of our journey, and were given invaluable experiences that will stick with us forever. The days were well-organized and always went smoothly, and Charles and Ananias seemed to know everything there is to know about the culture, wildlife, and parks that we encountered, while also being personable and professional. We saw leopard, chimps, gorillas, elephants, giraffes, zebras—all the animals you would hope to see on a safari. But honestly, my favorite part was befriending our guides and getting to know them over the course of the trip. Going into this, I expected to have guides that could answer questions and show us around, but was not expecting to also make close friends who I will cherish forever. A truly profound experience. It felt like having a personal friend show you around this beautiful country.
If you are considering a safari in Uganda, choose Prime Safaris, and if you can, go with Charles or Ananias. You will not regret it. Whenever I return to Uganda, they will be the first people I contact.
