Unforgettable experience

Various cat species were observed such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Apart of the big cats, we also saw animals. The most unforgettable experience was seeing a leopard chase an antelope.
The guide had a high level of enthusiasm and a willingness to accommodate our needs, ensuring that we had the most comprehensive safari experience available.

He ensured our sense of safety for the entirety of the safari and accommodated our requests to stop the vehicle for the purpose of capturing photographs.

Peter had exceptional proficiency in positioning us in close proximity to the game, displaying a remarkable sense of direction. During our observation, a significant number of animals and a diverse array of bird species were sighted.

We had the opportunity to observe the renowned "Big Five" creatures, an experience that left an indelible impression on us. Additionally, we had the chance to tour a Maasai village, engage in dialogue with members of the Maasai community, and get insights into their cultural practices and lifestyle.

The entire experience was quite enjoyable and filled with numerous thrilling encounters. The safari landcruiser provided a comfortable and spacious setting.

Everything exceeded our expectations

I cannot recommend enough the safari offered by Kubwa Five Safaris to anyone seeking an unforgettable vacation. Our guide deserves a great deal of credit for making the vacation so memorable.

Everything exceeded our expectations in terms of organization and the staff displayed a high level of professionalism and competence.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip

Excellent accommodations

We spotted numerous lions and a leopard hunting during our game drives, which we would not have seen without a competent guide who knew where the animals were.
Kubwa Five Safaris makes booking accommodations and activities straightforward.
I would recommend this company because they have excellent guides with extensive knowledge of the national parks as well as comfortable lodging.

Fantastic safari experience

Botswana (Country Visited) Review | Travel Month: January 2023 | Title: Fantastic Safari Experience

Absolutely nothing like it had ever happened before. Our rides were prompt, and we were treated like royalty the whole way. Likewise, we never once worried for our safety.

Peter, our driver, was fantastic; he was helpful, friendly, and totally chill. Peter was our hero for the journey, and if I were to come back, he would be our driver once again.

To see the best of Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, we suggest a trip organized by Kubwa Five Safaris.

An exciting adventure

We saw far more animals than I had anticipated, including lions, leopards, giraffes, antelopes, elephants, buffaloes, birds, hypos, and many others. We also saw several bird species. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and informative.

I'm looking forward to going on another tour with Kubwa Five Safaris. Amos was extremely knowledgeable, a fantastic driver, and, most importantly, an excellent tour guide. It was an amazing experience, and I would highly recommend them

Reliable and trustworthy company

The staff was friendly and welcoming, the rooms were comfortable, and the food was delicious. This company is perfect in every way.
Our guide was extremely friendly and welcoming, as well as extremely knowledgeable. We were fortunate to see three of the "Big 5" animals, as well as many others.

If we decide to return to Africa, we will definitely use Kubwa Five Safaris.

Fantastic First Safari Experience

It was a one-of-a-kind experience. The transportation was on time, and we felt pampered throughout the trip. We also felt safe from beginning to end.

Our driver, Peter, was fantastic; he was informative, kind, and just plain cool. He made the trip for us, and if I were to return, I would make Peter our driver again.

We strongly recommend booking a trip with Kubwa Five Safaris to see the best of Uganda, the Pearl of Africa

A palatible exposure at Murchison falls

It was a memorable experience travelling with Kubwa Safaris. The hospitality was holistically the best. Thanks Joseph for being ethical and informed about people's diversity and for sure tjanks a lot for the promotion of equality. The most interesting bit was during the early morning game ride, the lecture about the big five and their adaptive nature of life was really amazing. With one star budget, i got a five star experience.

20 day Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania

We did the 20 day Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. (Luxury)
And the reason why i give 4 stars and not 5 is because i think some of the Hotels could be better curated. Specifically the ones in Kenya and Bwindi (Uganda), Although they were good located inside the parks, they were a bit old. Not that they were cheap hotels, they must have been luxury at some point and they still hold the price tag. But i think it is worth exploring other smaller hotel/lodges with a boutique feel "understated luxury”, more personal. You can arrange all this with Joseph, because he wants to give you the best trip possible, i am sure of that.

The drivers/guides were professional and we got along with all 3 of them. Since the longest time was spent In Uganda with Samuel, we were sad to say goodbye to him at the airport after 12 days together. Samuel is a responsible and safe driver, polite, good sense of humor, a bit shy and a great smile.

Some of the hotels are upper mid range as specified on the list from the agency, and i was told that they choose this ones (instead of the luxury option) because of location. This is true for the 1st lodge in Murchinson National park. We only wish we would have had a little time to sit down and see the sunset over the river. The game drives can be as long or short as you want so one of the afternoons make sure you are back before sunset and take 20 minutes to sit outside and enjoy the views.

In Kibale, Uganda our tip would be to do the community walk (Note that the community walk can be as short or long as you want.) that afternoon instead of the next day after the chimpanzee trek. The reason being, that after the chimpanzee trek you can drive straight to Kyaninga and arrive there early. This is a beautiful hotel where you can do a few activities at the lodge….and we thought the setting is spectacular (they will also do your laundry complimentary so make sure you give it straight away as you arrive) We manage to be there by 13:00 and jump in the lake for a short swim, then we did a walk around the crater.

Lake Bunyonyi, the view to the lake 👍🏼, nice staff at the restaurant and they have a BARISTA in house, so if you like coffee Cyrus makes a perfect cup every time.

Wild Waters lodge is WOW place and the rafting there was so much fun….for some reason it was all about tipping the boat over, never before in other rafting’s was that the main objective but here i guess the currents are optimum for safe tipping.

Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, oh my!

First of all, I must say that I was very impressed with the communication and prompt response to all of our questions as we prepared for this adventure. The level of information we were provided left no questions unanswered.

This was more than just a safari, which I envisioned as sitting in a car and driving around, spotting animals all day. In addition to driving around, we rode bikes, took boat rides, ziplined, hiked, and enjoyed a balloon ride. It was an adventure of a lifetime!

We visited Uganda (chimpanzees and gorillas!), Kenya, and Tanzania and all of our guides were incredible. They were well-informed, kind, and put up with my sarcasm and my husband's terrible jokes. They were also good listeners to our needs. I particularly wanted to see cats in Tanzania and our guide spent the day making sure that I was not disappointed.

We chose the "luxury" option and I am still thinking back to several of our lodges and how breathtaking they were.

I would absolutely recommend KubwaFive Safaris to anyone. It's time to start filling the Africa Trip jar again!

A rememberable tour experience with KUBWA FIVE SAFARIS

What a memorable and rememberable experience to travel with KUBWA FIVE SAFARIS ..it is a safer, affordable and enjoyable experience.

We got to see many animals in their natural habitats, we saw lions, leopards, Wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, etc.

The scenery of Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti National Park was spectacular. Our driver/guide very accommodating on the safari. We were very comfortable and were impressed by his amazing hospitality.

It was a nice Tanzania budget safari and I would recommend Kubwa Five Safaris.

Kindly if you need a good,affordable vacation i recommend you to book a travel vacation with KUBWA FIVE SAFARIS.

Amazing vacation

We had so much fun in this trip ! We were able to see the chimpanzees and the gorillas. It was an unforgettable experience. Amos and Joseph were incredible, they show us multiple parks and the culture of Uganda, we had so much fun, they really make you feel in family. Amos was very knowledgeable about the parks and animals, he was able to solve all our questions in addition of taking stunning pictures.The places we stayed were amazing, service was incredible, everything was very safe and clean.

We spent 7 days but it was not enough time. We went to Murchison Falls National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Kibale National Park, and Queen Elizabeth. The experience with the chimps and the gorillas is a MUST, we never thought that we will be having them so close and it was incredible. Thank you so much for this experience!
