We had a great safari with Kubwa Five…

We had a great safari with Kubwa Five Safaris.

It was a trip to remember, we saw many animals, the animals such as lions, leopards, rhinos that I had seen in the wild.

Peter was a great guide, he knew a lot about animals, he was very friendly and had sense of humour.
If you book with this company for a vacation in Kenya, please ask for Peter to be your guide.

We liked the hotels, their customer care and, meals were great.

If you are planning an African vacation, Kubwa Five Safaris is company to contact, you won't be disappointed, in fact, they offer you services beyond your expectations.

Life changing experience

It was an experience that I would do a thousand times more with kubwa five. They are the best, they bring the best experts and the service is excellent. Certainly if someone wants to go on safari, they should hire Kubwa Five to plan their tour.

A trip of a lifetime. It will never be forgotten.

We just returned from a 10 day safari in Kenya, we visited Amboseli national park, Lake nakuru national park, Lake navaisha national park and Maasai Mara national park
Kubwa Five Safaris was amazing, we made the right decision by choosing them. From the moment I contacted Joseph at Kubwa Five Safaris, he was super responsive and he answered all my endless questions. He put together an awesome plan for us. Everything was covered and we were taken care of for our whole trip duration. They picked us up at the airport, they took us to the best hotel in Nairobi.

Our driver Peter was excellent. He helped us feel comfortable and safe throughout the journey. He was respectful and knowledgeable about the animals and areas. You could tell he was very experienced navigating the national parks and knew how to find the best viewpoints while still respecting the animals. Peter's enthusiasm was contagious and we couldn’t help getting just as excited every morning for the the adventures that laid ahead. He truly became a friend by the end of our trip and we will really miss him. We could not have asked for a better guide and when we come back we will most certainly request Peter again.

On this trip we saw a number animals such as Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard, and Water Buffalo, Cheetahs, Hippos, Hyenas, Giraffes, Servals, Jackals, etc. Peter's keen eye for spotting animals and his knowledge of the routes within each park helped us tremendously.

Everything was covered and we were taken care of for our whole trip duration.
Thank you to Kubwa Five Safaris for a trip of a lifetime. It will never be forgotten.

A red letter day.

I really witnessed the best of the best strip with Kubwa Five Safaris, it was marvelous and fantastic tour I have ever had in my life. It was really amazing when we reached at Murchison national park, wow, the beautiful powerful waterfalls (Murchison Falls formerly known as kabalega falls)

I highly appreciate their services since everything someone may need during a vacation is available. The nice tour vehicles, the care they have it made my trip memorable, the well experienced drivers, the hospitality of the company it's really the best I have ever seen in Africa.

We moved miles and miles (we covered various national parks) without getting tired because of the enjoyment we had.

We watched lions, leopards, rhinos, buffaloes, elephants.

In summary, it was a trip to remember for years and years. All our expectations were made.

Thanks Kubwa Five Safaris, we will have another vacation with you.

Everything about my vacation with this company was wonderful.

Kubwa Five Safaris offered quick and efficient communication prior our vacation. Everything about my vacation with this company was wonderful. Our guide Kevin was very accommodating and knew the answers to all our questions about the animals. We had an amazing experience with Kevin. He was really flexible and went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience.

The lodges we used were inside the national parks, and provided excellent views of the animals whereby buffaloes, elephants and antelopes would come around the lodges to graze. And during the game drive, we got to see everything we wanted to see.

I would definitely recommend Kubwa Five Safaris.

An equally magical experience

We booked with Kubwa Five Safaris and we got to know them through a friend, who had gone to Kenya a year ago, and him and his family booked with this company.

We went to Naivasha, Amboseli, Masai Mara, Nakuru and Tsavo, all very different experiences and all great in their own way.
We saw more wildlife than we ever dreamed possible (the big five and many more!) and had the holiday of a lifetime. Would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya.
Our guide Anthony made the wildlife come to life, and I greatly learned many new things from him. He also answered all of our questions regarding flora and fauna, and was very patient and kind with us.
Without a doubt, we will again plan a trip with Kubwa Five Safaris to give us an equally magical experience!

The whole safari was amazing and we would totally recommend Kubwa Five Safaris.

Kubwa Five Safaris had the most…

Kubwa Five Safaris had the most reasonable rates, and they were great in communication, so I felt pretty good about booking a tour with them. Kubwa Five Safaris was more attentive, tailor-making the tour to our exact specifications, giving excellent tips and recommendations, and putting through all the detailed changes we requested quickly and efficiently.

Our driver/guide, Joan was a really lovely and knowledgable person. We greatly enjoyed this company for the days we were in Rwanda. The gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park was beyond all expectations in terms of our proximity and views of the gorillas. We trekked the Sabinyo group and after a couple of hours, we met the endangered giants up in the hills. It was an amazing experience to see the gorillas close up in the wild and this is one of the most memorable trips that I have ever taken.

In the afternoon, after the trek, we enjoyed a relaxed evening at the Iby'wachu Village where we learned about the history, culture, and heritage of the Rwandan people. This is another amazing experience that you should not miss while in Rwanda.

All of our accommodation was lovely and really showed us the variety Rwanda has to offer. From staying in a luxury high rise hotel in Kigali to jungle camping in Kagera National Park and staying in a variety of safari lodges, all hotels were lovely, with great facilities, great food and drinks, friendly staff (& wildlife!) and lovely rooms.

I strongly advise you to request Joan as your driver and guide when you are in Rwanda! For one week, she was both our friend and our professional guide; enabling us to see all the highlights of a truly beautiful country in a relatively short length of time.
I have no hesitation in recommending Kubwa Five Safaris to anyone planning a safari holiday in Rwanda in the future.

Best wildlife experience with Kubwa…

Best wildlife experience with Kubwa Five Safaris. The opportunity to spot some of Uganda's most beautiful animals in the wild in this vast park is always challenging, but it is so rewarding! Here we saw the big five - elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros, lion and leopard within a couple of hours, but be willing to drive around and have good binoculars and eager eyes.

A reminder this is not a zoo and the animals are truly in their natural habitat. You will never be disappointed.

We loved our tour with Kubwa Five…

We loved our tour with Kubwa Five Safaris. We spent 9 nights in Tanzania and visited a number of national parks; Serengeti national park, Tarangire national park, Ngorongoro national park, and Lake Manyara national park and saw a bunch of animals including lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, cheetah, buffaloes, etc and enjoyed the beautiful sceneries of Tanzania that I have always read about.

I can't say enough of how incredible the trip was with our guide Benson, he was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable and friendly. He knew the parks very well and gave us lots of information on the animals. And he did his best so we could see many animals and so we could have a great time.

Everything was well organized and we were able to see and learn so many things. The lodges were amazing. The trip was a dream come true.

We were very happy with the whole trip and the organization. We really recommend going with Kubwa Five Safaris and with Benson as a driver.

Breathtaking Game Drives In Uganda With Very Friendy Tour Guide

The most intriguing aspect is that we had a professional tour guide who knew what to look for and which part of the park had most breathtaking view. This was absolutely an adventure of a lifetime.

Clean comfy rooms, delicious food, breathtaking views, and warm friendly people! Did I mention the game drive! Yes, a taste like no other!! Even though the roads were bumpy and dusty our tour guide Peter entertained us all the way to the end of our trip.

I recommend to any tourist visiting Africa and especially Uganda, the Pearl of Africa to use the services of Kubwa Five Safaris.
