  When the whole world closed up for COVID pandemic, we had booked Amakula African safaris to travel to Africa for a festive season holiday through a fellow Rotarian called Simon... Read more who doubles as the travel agent. Truth is we felt so bad and hopeless,very many people died and Simon advised is to postpone the trip. Funny enough we had already paid up for our trip almost 1/3 of the total we were supposed to pay. Yes Simon is a fellow Rotarian but who knows the games people play over the internet. W trusted him with our money and guess what he kept communicating to us to keep us updated on whatever the situation was in Uganda and East Africa in general and atlast we managed to see travel safely to Uganda and we really enjoyed the 16 days in the Pearl of Africa. We can't thank you enough Simon together with your friends at Amakula African safaris. And except another group to book with you from us. Happy new year guys.

I liked the content and immediately someone sent me a message thanking me for liking their content and gently asked me if I’ve ever been to Uganda . In the conversation I later got to know that Uganda has very hospitable people ,advisors and very welcoming. I landed on Simon who happens to be the general manager with this company. I really thank you Simon for opening up to me and letting me know how I could spend my leisure time in Uganda. my husband and children loved Uganda so much and we shall be coming back every year .We loved the gorillas and the adventure part of the white water rafting in jinja

Thank you Amakula for the experience.

  We were so surprised with this Company at first. Following my initial enquiry, I received a reply from Maria the reservations manager of Amakula African safari and letter a Skype... Read more call with Simon , also from Amakula African Safari. They deployed for us a young man who we all first thought was to bore our trip and this was before we met the entire team. When U spoke to Simon on phone, he seemed an old very knowledgeable man who we thought had stayed I this travel business for a while but to my surprise............
We landed on a team of young well dressed very knowledgeable and passionate young men And a lady who welcomed us thorough Entebe International Airport to some hotel called via via around Entebe.
You may be surprised on how I am applausing this team but I move in a wheelchair but when I tried to book with a different company I was not given a chance because someone comfortably told me they had no provision for people like of my nature.
My daughter did so much to see that I celebrate my 60th birthday in Africa to have a different setting all round but when we contacted Amakula African Safaris ,chance was there and am glad to refer this team to anyone who would need a private tour for two people or more with dedicated to discovering the southern part of the country. Without being fanatics, we enjoy bird watching and had requested a guide with knowledge of birds. We had not expected to be given one of Uganda’s top birding guides! Patric was incredible .

This guy is also a very careful driver; not slow, but extremely prudent, which has not always been our experience with bird guides who also drive.
He was constantly enthusiastic and we had great fun adding to our list of sightings on the free Birds of Africa app. We saw 175 different species.
Patric seemed to know people everywhere, which added to the enjoyment of the tour, especially because some had not seen him in two years, due to COVID.
The whole tour ran like clockwork and there were no unpleasant surprises.
Should we return to Uganda, I know which guide we’ll want!

The included game drives are the best we experienced, very comfortable vehicles and a sundowner at the end of it. Our guide Henrik was a fountain of knowledge and he made sure that we saw our first black rhino. We had a tour of the grounds with the manager and even got to visit Zulu Rock and have lunch up there. This property deserves 5 Stars for food, location and hospitality.

  This is the second time I have traveled with my family with Amakula African safaris. The first time was an amazing Uganda experience where I only booked with my work... Read more friends and this second experience with my entire family and other friends to Kenya to see the migrating beasts,Rwanda for genocide,Uganda for Gorillas was equally amazing. Simon organized both tours for us and tailored them according to my wishes and I thank him for as long as I kept changing he gave us the best.
Amakula African Safaris is a boutique business that is very personalized and offers you the equal and more than a large corporate operator. The price point is compatible with group tours but you will have your own personal driver and guide for yourself and there is nothing to compare with this luxury. Because of that, you will also be able to adapt your days schedule if you wish according what you want and not what is a groups plan.
We were completely happy and satisfied with all aspects of our travel (on both trips). Simon knows the safari tour industry and is constantly working to improve the business, his knowledge about lodges, the parks, restaurants and all minute aspects of the tour. He will be able to personally attest to the quality of whatever product he is recommending to you.
Patrick was our guide driver in Kenya and we can only say that he was amazing. He knew more about wildlife (and every birds name and details) than an encyclopedia, was an amazingly adept driver in sometimes rough conditions (traffic, rough park roads, etc.) and looked out for our interests. While respecting the animals, he went above and beyond trying to make sure we saw every different animal we could. We appreciated that he obviously respected and cared about the animals we were seeing. (Not all safari drivers do and will do anything to try to get to see something up close, even while encroaching too much on their space.) We had a minor vehicle difficulty but the team made sure that everything went smoothly and we didn't miss a minute of our trip or schedule. He is quite an asset to Amakula African Safaris. Patrick and drives on Kenya trips but if you go to Uganda, I highly recommend Moses who was equally great.
Overall, the trip was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime. If you haven't gone on a safari before, you should trip to put this on your life plan. There is nothing like it and when you plan it, you want a safari operator that will listen to your needs, wants, and budget and tailor it to fit you. Amakula African Safaris will do that in a personal way.
Our lodges that Simon picked were magical and the food was outstanding. There was nothing about our trip that we would have changed. I highly recommend Amakula African Safaris if you want to travel to any of the East African countries. If not those countries, then reconsider them over the more commercialized ones (such as South Africa) and you won't be disappointed

  It was such an amazing trip to trekk the gorillas of Bwindi impenetrable national park and the boat cruise at Murchison falls national park with Simon the travel consultant and...

  My wife and I just spent a week at the Babanango Valley Lodge in KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. We were excited to be making this trip. Game reserves brings us... Read more so close to nature. But this new reserve was so much more.
Guest Room. The large guest room put four/five-star properties in New York to shame. Plugs for electronics everywhere. Oversize shower and bathtub. Incredibly comfortable king bed. Independent temperature controls. We didn’t want to leave.
Food. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Beautifully prepared outstanding meals. From an English style breakfast to lamb/beef/vegetarian choices at dinner that were in every sense professionally prepared and presented.
Staff. We decided not to mention any names because we were made to feel at home and cared for by the whole team. Whether it was the knowledgeable drivers during the game drives, or the service staff in the hotel, they went out of their way to meet our needs.
The animals, which should have been first on our list, as always were the stars. This is the spring in South Africa and these animals were vibrant with many pregnant females and seemed to enjoy coming out to look at the humans who were invading their privacy.
Piéce de résistance. On our final night, the staff and children performed a Zulu dance/song piece that had ourselves and other guests close to tears. It was a remarkable closing to a truly fabulous week. Congratulations to the team that made out stay so outstanding.
