Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked a short trip from Entebbe to Bwindi National Park for gorilla tracking. Our tour guide Kenan did an amazing job. He drove us safely all the way to our lodge, which was the four gorillas lodge. The lodge was really nice and a very good choice. We decided to stay a day Linder in Uganda and Kazinga tours made it possible, even when it was on a very short notice. We booked an extra night at Lake Mburo, where Kenan showed us all the wild animals during a game drive. He was always there for us. He provided all the information we wanted to have and showed us the real Uganda. We can really recommend booking with Kazinga tours. And if you can, ask for Kenan as your tour guide.

Kazinga organised an incredible 10 day tour for us in Uganda, they proposed a schedule and accommodated our preferences for accommodation and what to see. We went to Kampala,jinja,kibale,Queen Elizabeth national park and bwindi forest. Our guide Amos was BRILLIANT - he was professional and good company which is important given the long drives. He always made sure we got the best experience from explaining things to us to making sure we had a good group for chimp and gorilla trekking and even finding tree climbing lions. Uganda is so so beautiful we would really recommend visiting

I worked with Kazinga tours for several trips while I was in Uganda.
The guides were knowledgeable about the history, the animals, environment and the birds. The lodges they arranged in the different venues were fantastic. They also do a lot of work with local communities, water and other environmental conservation and support women's projects in the areas. Give them very high ratings and i look forward to future trips in Uganda and surrounding countries with them

Thank you to our patient tour organiser Jarred and our exceptional guide and driving companion Eddie for helping surpass all expectations during our virgin trip through East-Africa, from Entebbe to Kampala, Fort Portal to Queen Elisabeth park and the Kazinga channel (which should’ve been a hint) all the way from Bwindi and even across the border to Kigali, Ruanda.

Kazinga tours were our guides for our week in Uganda. We had the best time! We felt safe with our drivers and guides Eddie, Rogers and Tom. Felix was very kind and accommodating throughout our journey as we made some diversions and made some additional visits to villages and exploring the country. We would highly recommend Kazinga tours!

We took a three-week trip to Uganda with the family and it was AWESOME. First of all and in large part, thanks to our driver and guide Eddie. Knowing where to go, what to do and how to get things done, he was clearly indispensable. This ranged from taking us from place to place safely, making sure we got see what there was to see (we can forgive him for not calling out pangolins and aardvarks on request), dealing effectively with the odd issues that came our way and being a great source of knowledge and overall wonderful person. Many, many thanks Eddie.
Our trip started off at the Mabamba swamp with sightings of the Shoebill stork and other birds (kingfishers, bee eaters among others) before moving on to Lake Mburo. We enjoyed staying at the Mantana Tented Camp and the magnificent view there. Although being a rather arduous trek and in spite of their best efforts to avoid being tracked down, the Golden Monkeys at Mgahinga National Park were fun to see. The drive to Bwindi was absolutely stunning though not quite on par with seeing gorilla’s live and up close; that is frankly on another scale. We were fortunate enough to see two tree climbing lions in the Queen Elisabeth National Park – Ishasha sector and count ourselves lucky for that. Well done Eddie! The chimps at Kibale were the next major tick box on the list and also did not disappoint. The accommodations at Chimpundu Lodge were equally noteworthy. Going further north, Murchison Falls National Park is another must-see for Uganda. The falls are truly epic and most impressive. Thereafter, we truly enjoyed a couple of luxurious days at Wildwaters Lodge on the banks of the river Nile to round off our vacation. Before saying goodbye to Uganda, we visited Kampala getting a feel for the capital as well. Great addition to the itinerary.
Overall, we were very impressed with Uganda; the enormous diversity in landscapes (savanna, rain forests, lakes, swamps), the fertility of the country (we were really struggling to come up with foods that were not grown there) but most of all the people; so very friendly.
Uganda is well worth considering as a holiday destination although some care has to be taken in terms of food safety. Where else can you see gorilla’s, chimpanzees, the Nile and the Big Five surrounded by wonderful scenery and the friendliest people? If you are fortunate enough to have Eddie as your guide/driver it will be unforgettable; guaranteed.

It was a great experience that you will never forget. Our tour of Uganda went from Entebbe to Bwindi National Park. From there to Murchison Falls National Park and back to Entebbe. It was super organized and all our wishes were fulfilled.
Especially our guide Christopher has become very dear to us. He was very nice, helpful and responded to all of our requests. He didn't leave any of our questions or wishes unanswered and explained a lot to us about the country and its people, animals and nature. We could not have wished for better company than him. It was a great vacation and probably not the last in Uganda.

We spent 8 days travelling across Marcheson falls, qenp, bwindi, mburo lake. We had breakfast at the top of the warerfalls, horse riding in the park, gorilla tracking. And while we were on the adult adventures our guide Christopher was watching our small kids. Many thanks to him, nice guy.
I trully recommend this agency and Christopher particularly.

In July 2023, my wife and I traveled for about three weeks in Uganda the company that implemented the trip is Kazinga Tours.
As soon as the communications began, it was clear that this was a responsible and serious company. The owner of the company, Felex, was very nice and punctual, he flowed with various special requests about the trip.
During the trip everything worked great. The hotels were of the highest standard, wherever a local guide was needed, there was guidance of the highest standard, by speakers of good English, who were very knowledgeable.
When during the trip, due to a medical need, it was important that we get rooms without stairs, Felex and Moses, our driver made sure of that, even if the hotel had to bend its arms.
Here there is room to give a lot of credit to Moses. When spending more than two weeks with a driver, the relationship with him is critical to the benefit of the trip. Moses was our lighthouse on the trip. A smart, sensitive person, great sense of humor, and gives service from the heart. In addition to his vast and rich knowledge, he knew how to tell us about Uganda, starting with the animals, through the culture, the way of life, and more. His ability to spot animals from a distance is phenomenal. Moses knew how to flow with our whims and desires, and his ability to connect with people and open them up led us to situations that would not be possible on a solo trip: visiting rural weddings, conversations with the head of a village in the heart of the savannah, meetings in orphanages and more.
Uganda is a very fascinating and diverse country: green landscapes, extensive savannahs, many different types of animals, rainforests, high mountains, volcanic landscapes and more. Seeing how the people live and getting to know this people, who are so kind and welcoming, is fascinating. It is a safe country, that has almost everything Africa has to offer.
The Kazinga company makes every effort to make this visit pleasant, and together we planned a trip that went far off the tourist track and allowed us to get to know life in Uganda as well.
