      A magical experience!
      Our Ugandan Gorilla tracking trip with East African Jungle Safaris was absolutely mind blowing! We trekked for just under an hour and then spent a further hour with these magnificent creature’s. We also spent time on Lake Bunyonyi which was magical. Our guide for our three day trip was Ronnie who is a great guy, and an excellent driver and guide. As two female friends travelling together we always felt safe with Ronnie and he imparted so much knowledge. We would recommend Ronnie 100%!

      Fantastic visit to Rwanda
      I was met at Kigali airport by Gerald, my guide. He was amazng throughout, nothing was too much effort. We visited three National Parks and saw an amazing variety of wildlife. I also got to vist the genocide memorial in Kigali and learn ore about that event. as well as visiting coffee and tea plantations on route to the parks. The accommodation was great, comfortable and often very fitting to the type of trip. My aim was to see chimps and mankeys, both of which I got to do. Excellent trip, I would highly recomment this company

      3 Day Trip to Murchison Falls National Park
      The administrative communications from Ruth were first rate. All my emails were answered promptly and provided all required information succinctly and efficiently. She offered practical advice and information to help us. Our tour guide to Murchison Fall National Park, Hussein, was first rate - he did all he could to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. Our enjoyment and welfare were foremost with him throughout our trip. He shared his knowledge and insights as often as he could and strove at all times to give us the best possible experience. He was always punctual, very courteous and very pleasant company. He dropped us to our desired location in Entebbe at the time that we had requested at the end of our trip. The vehicle for the tour was perfectly suitable, reliable and comfortable. Overall, we had a really memorable trip and I would fully recommend this company. They provided excellent value and service.

      Great Option to explore Uganda
      It was a great trip thanks to the custom planning of East African Jungle Safari. I could visit Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth Parka and Kibale in 4 days. The operator was flexible in organizing my trip. My driver Ronnie was also exceptional, friendly and very accommodating. I really recommend them.

      Professional, Personal and Committed
      The trip was very well organised by Denis and professionally executed by our guide Alan. They were flexibel when we changed the pick up places for individuals. Alan was very knowledgable and was very happy to answer all our questions. The stay at Rushaga Gorilla lodge was excellent wirh the perfect view and just the right amount of comfort. Since the trip involves a lot of driving it would be nice to sprinkle in some stops to do some sightseeing and stretch the legs at the same time

      Perfect Two-Day Tour
      What a wonderful tour. Our guide, Ronnie, was knowledgeable and worked hard to get us to the right spots for viewing. What an eagle eye. The falls, from above and below, were spectacular, the accommodations were comfortable, and the rhinos at Ziwa were wonderful.

      Solo woman traveler has time of her life!
      I had an incredible experience with East African Jungle Safaris! As a solo woman traveler, I was a bit nervous, but I had an incredible time with my guide, Ronald. The sites were beautifulll and I really enjoyed the food and my accommodations. I gather that the itinerary was more flexible than I initially had thought, so I encourage vacationers to play an active role in shaping theirs, though what they proposed was incredible as-is. I’m so grateful to have had the chance to explore Rwanda in all its beauty.

      East African Safaris is the way to do Uganda!!!
      East African Jungle knocked it out of the park! We went Gorilla trekking, bird watching for the Shoe bill, Chimp trekking and River Safari. and they all were amazing we saw gorrilas, chimps, shoe bills, lions and all on the first try! Ronnie our guide was amazing, a real down to earth guy, great guide, and an excellent driver. Ronnie made us feel safe and secure, and he was really personable. He really went out of his way to go above and beyond. When booking your tours ask for Ronnie. Ruth and Ronnie kept all lines of communication open and were always reachable. Ruth was very pleasant and helped us out with any issues we had. If your going to tour Uganda do it with East African Safari!

      Uganda with EAJS - spectacular!
      Wow, what an experience! I hired East African Jungle Safaris to put together a trip to see the gorillas, as well as several other highlights in Uganda, and they did an incredible job. They took 4 of us on a multi day adventure from Kigali, Rwanda to Entebbe, Uganda, seeing gorillas, chimpanzees, Shoebill storks, and more, plus lots of great experiences. Ruth was our co-ordinator and was very easy to communicate with; she set up a great itinerary. Ronnie was our driver, and he was the best! Great driver, kind, and calm, he took such good care of us everywhere that we miss him. I also must mention that Uganda is a stunning country - beautiful, safe, friendly. I am so happy we did this trip, and allowed EAJS to be our guides.

      Custom package of Swamp tour, Equator, Rhino Sanctuary & Murchison falls
      Honestly, this was one of the best trips I have ever taken in my life. The Mabamba swamp tour was great and relaxing. We saw all kinds of wild life including the shoebill. The trip to the equator on the boat was great. The weather was perfect and Mo was a very friendly boat Captain and had interesting information about the Lake and surrounding area. It was a relaxing end to a first day, which was preceded by a lot of travel and little sleep. The second day had the game drive, which was a lot of fun and had some beautiful sights to see. The trip on the Nile was great for viewing wildlife and seeing the falls from the bottom. It would have been better to be able to get a little closer but it is understandable as the current from the falls is to strong and overpowers the boat. The boat was short in seating so many sat on the engine covers (not a deal breaker unless you have physical issues). Outside of the boat being overbooked, this was a good experience. Still saw so much wildlife during the ride and could move around the boat to see everything. The stay at the parkland lodge was nice and the morning game drive found even more close encounters with the larger wildlife there. The top of the falls had some of the most beautiful views and I would have stayed there for hours longer if we did not have other places to go. Lastly, the rhino sanctuary was incredible. Walking amongst these giant white rhinos was a unique experience, and helps you appreciate these magnificent animals. Our guide, Eddie, was outstanding. He answered all our questions and got us where we needed to be. He took care of all the busy work and let us enjoy the trip, which was exactly what we were looking for. We have nothing but positive reviews about the experience, and I have told everyone already asking us about the trip as such. I plan to come back again one day and experience more of the Pearl of Africa because it is such majestic country. Thank you for being amazing hosts. The pictures do not do it justice. It is not the same as looking at these animals up close and personal or seeing the falls for yourself and feeling the spray from the rocks cool you as you enjoy the scene.

      An amazing time with East Africa Jungle Safaris- Highly recommended
      We are experienced world travellers( having travelled to 75 countries, all 7 continents) so we look for excellent service from tour operators when we travel. This month, we traveled to Rwanda & Uganda over 3 days with East African Jungle Safaris & had an excellent time. Our guide Farouk was waiting for us upon arrival at Kigali airport & seamlessly guided us through the next few days. We visited the Genocide museum in Kigali, did the Gorilla trek in Bwindi & visited Lake Bunyoni for a very relaxed stay, at the end of our trip. Farouk was an excellent guide, navigating us through customs & border control between Rwanda & Uganda, making sure we reached everywhere on time & sharing his insights about the 2 countries as we drove along. All the accommodations were excellent, the meals very tasty & the Gorilla trek was an experience we will always remember & cherish. Everything was seamlessly planned & executed. Thanks to East African Jungle Safari & Farouk for guiding us through an excellent, memorable trip.

      A once-in-a-lifetime experience!
      From planning our trip to booking it and the actual trip - it has been an extraordinary journey, and the good memories will stay with us forever. Every day had something special in store, and our guide, Andrew, was such a gentleman, offering a wealth of information and experience that enriched our adventure. Special thanks to EAJS director Fred Ssebunya for going above and beyond by keeping our guerilla & chimpanzee permits for 3 years! We were initially unsure about travelling in East Africa as two women, but we never felt unsafe - quite the opposite - we felt like honoured guests! Thank you for the wonderful gift of many happy memories. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

      Excellent guided trip around Rwanda!
      I had an excellent trip with East African Jungle safaris, with a 5 night/6 day trip around Rwanda tailored to my needs (following a conference in Kigali). I visited Nyungwe forest, Lake Kivu, and Volcano national park. EAJS obtained all the permits for tracking gorillas, chimpanzees, and golden monkeys, and these experiences were incredible! We also stopped at Nyanza palace museum, the National ethnographic museum, and went for a boat ride on Lake Kivu. My guide, Apollo, was an excellent driver, very knowledgeable, fluent in English and Kinyarwanda, and a good travel companion. Apollo was very accommodating of my needs and interests, for example providing additional opportunities for birdwatching, and replacing lunches in tourist hotels with buffet lunches in local cafes when I indicated I preferred to eat Rwandan food. I appreciated the promptness of the office in responding to my emails, and the ease of booking and payment. I stayed in the lower cost hotels, and these were perfect for my needs, all in nice locations, but less isolated. I especially liked Inzu ecolodge by Lake Kivu, which was walking distance from a public beach where local people were constructing a fishing boat.
