    We did a 5 days 4 nights tour of Western Uganda with Richard of K-Safaris during the long Easter break of April 2021 with my friends and we could not have been HAPPIER with our choice. Richard’s knowledge & passion for Uganda’s tourism is next to none. He is a very calm, jovial and flexible guide. On setting off from Kampala K-Safaris served the ladies on board with FREE Chocolates and a FREE wine bottle for all of us even though I don’t take wine, drinking water was always on board throughout the trip not forgetting the FREE classy take home water bottles that Richard gave us. I would wholeheartedly recommend K-Safaris to anyone.

    I had the pleasure of spending time with Richard on a Gorilla safari recently, which in itself is an amazing experience, but he went beyond the normal duties of a guide (I've spent time with a few). I asked to get off the tourist trail and meet real local people, and eat real local food. He did that for me and by doing so enhanced my African experience with memories I will hold dear for life. He introduced me to local markets, and local tribes, and the places where Africans would go to eat lunch, not the tourists, and for that I am truly grateful, and I will be back for more adventure in the future

    We have just has a twelve night safari with Richard from K-Safais in Uganda. It has been a memorable experience. We are retirees and were a little apprensive about how we would cope with the pace on the road and managing in a different environment. Before we left home people who heard of our plans would warn us about security and health issues we would encounter. Let me say now that their ideas were formed without any knowledge. Once we met Richard we knew we were in good hands. He visited us on the evening before we set out and his enthusiasm for showing us his beautiful country and its wildlife was most inspiring. Richard made our trip very interesting and a lot of fun. He anticipated all our needs in a very hospitable way. He focused on giving us an "experience" and he far surpassed all our expectations: entry to national parks, arrival at accommodation, connecting with local communities, answering all our questions were all smoothly and cheerfully achieved. Richard showed us so much wildlife and taught us a lot. He made sure that our trekking experience was manageable and successful! Four wheel driving in Uganda proved to be fun and interesting and mostly quite comfortable. We had a great driver in Richard. I felt that I was watching a spectacular movie from my seat in the vehicle. Now that our holiday is over, I am amazed at the memories we have and very grateful to Richard and K-Safaris. We highly recommend seeing Uganda with K-Safaris and we are confident that anyone who travels with Richard as a Tour Guide will have an amazing experience.

    We recently had a group trip with K-Safaris. It was such an exciting one. The company's safari guide truly spoke his mind with kindness and confidence. He was well equipped with the Tourism product knowledge and sharing with him left everyone fully satisfied. Thank you so Richard Asiimwe for creating such memorable safari experience for us. You left no story un told with high levels of professionalism. We shall live to remember K_Safaris. Thank you

    Richard was extremely helpful in organizing our gorilla trek and went above and beyond to help us adjust our itinerary last minute. Would highly recommend contacting K Safari for any trip!

    I did an 8 days Tour with K-Safaris and has been on of the best experiences I had in my life. Richard has been amazing, very nice person and very professional. Has a deep knowledge of the fauna, put me on the best hands on my trekking with the chimpanzees and the gorillas and adapt the journey on your tastes. He is the best person to be with if you really want to experience Uganda.

    As soon as we met K safaris team we knew we have made the best choice. Richard and his team are the best in Africa. Me and my wife have booked with Richard on our honeymoon to see and experience the gorillas, golden monkeys and chimpanzees and it was life changing. They went above and beyond to make our honeymoon the most memorable. Everything was perfect and hassle free, accomodation was luxurious and we were greeted everywhere with such a warm welcome and splendid hospitality. Everything was cattered for in a manner we have never experienced before. The safaris and trekking were beautiful and magnificent. These guys are honest, reliable, friendly and will do everything to accomodate your needs. They are definitely 5+ stars. Richard loves Uganda and knows everyone and everything, he will make you experience Uganda like no one else. And above all that they have the best pricing amongst all other tour agencies. Thank you Richard & Ken for making our honeymoon the most memorable and joyful. We will come back again for sure, and ofcourse we are waiting for you to visit us and be our guests in our country. Much of love Jamal & Sarah

    We had a great trip 3-day trip with Richard to Murchison Falls. We really liked the vehicle that he also had, which made the safari trip even cooler! He went out of his way to get us to see lots of animals, and made sure we were comfortable and got the most out of our adventures. We thouroughly enjoyed the trip! Thank you again Richard.

    Our family just finished an unforgettable trip to Uganda and Rwanda with K Safaris and our amazing guide Kenneth. Our trip was extremely well organised from start to finish. We liked each of the accommodations chosen by the company and had a great extended safari jeep. Our highlights were the gorilla trekking experience and seeing so many hippos in Queen Elizabeth National Park 🦍🦛 We loved our time with our guide Kenneth, who is very experienced, knowledgeable and reliable. He is also an excellent driver! We had a really great time with him and always felt like we were in safe hands. We will always remember this trip and cherish these memories. Thank you!

    The most amazing, beautiful & fulfilling trip of my life! Richard, from K-Safaris is a fantastic person, always happy and ready to do the extra mile for you. The whole organisation of the safari was just flawless. I recommend K-Safaris 1000000%.

  • 5/5 Monica B. 7 months ago on Google
    We just spent an amazing 10 days in Uganda with Richard from K-Safaris. We had been planning this trip for quite some time and Richard surpassed all our expectations. He is a wonderful person and a wonderful guide. If you are planning a trip to Uganda, he is definitely the person you want to do it with. I wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you Richard and K-Safari from the bottom of my heart for the most memorable trip ever!

  • 5/5 Hugo B. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience from the pick up to the drop off at the airport ! Everything was so smooth and Richard is extremely knowledgeable about his native country and its wildlife/ culture. It was a fascinating experience and Richard made it really special by going above and beyond. He is truly passionate and he obviously doesn’t do it only as a source of income, he loves his job and it makes such a big difference. We became good friends!

  • 5/5 Didier B. 8 months ago on Google
    We just spent 10 days in Uganda which was a magical experience in great part due to the outstanding professionalism of KSafari. The trip was extremely well organised, and Richard, who is the owner but was also our driver and guide, always went out of his way to make this trip a memorable and unique experience. I highly recommend K Safari and Uganda is a beautiful country with much to offer

  • 5/5 Ramune K. 4 months ago on Google
    Only the best words go to K-Safaris team and Richard (driver and guide), WHO made our work trip blended with safari and gorilla trekking, and which was greatly fullfilled with one of the best experiences in life! Richard is a great and lovely person, passionate for nature and his country, whom in the best possible manner contributed in creating good conditions to work (when internet did not work he found a way) and relax. Would be happy to enjoy travelling for longer time and better explore this beautiful country! My colleague and l highly recommend Richard and K-Safaris!

  • 5/5 ana r. 5 months ago on Google
    Our experience with K-Safaris, and Richard as our guide, was a 10 out of 10! Richard not only organized the whole trip to our specifications, but he also went out if his way to make sure each site was explored to the fullest, always with a smile, good vibes and even making on the spot changes when needed or asked for. He shared his love for this country and made us appreciate it even more, and I could not recommend this trip and this experience more!

  • 5/5 Wayne B. 1 year ago on Google
    I went on a 4-day safari Uganda Safari to Murchison Falls and Kibale and it was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime. Prior to arriving in Uganda Richard from K-Safaris worked with me to craft a custom experience that fit my interests and budget and then personally took me on the safari when I arrived. During our trip I benefited from Richard's expertise and the relationships he has with locals in the tourism industry. It was clear he is well liked and respected, which helped maximize my experience (e.g., getting favorable guides for treks, better seats, special food requests). I had a schedule change toward the end of my trip that cut the day short but Richard made sure I was able to get to the airport ontime and scheduled my COVID test along the way. Going on safari is a "bucket list" item for many travelers but trying to plan one can feel overwhelming. I feel very fortunate to have been connected with K-Safaris through a Ugandan friend and be able to support local tourism more directly than going through a Western travel agency or resort, not to mention the money that I saved from cutting out the middlemen. More than that though it is because of the genuine hospitality and individual care that I received on this trip that I wholeheartedly recommend K-Safaris for your visit to Uganda (and East Africa at large). I didn't share much here about my actual experience on safari because there are better sources of information than what I can write. I'll just say that I was astounded by the beauty of the country and its people. Because Uganda isn't as well know as some other African countries, it felt like getting let in on delightful a little secret. I couldn't ask for a better first time experience on the continent.

    If you are going on a Safari with K-Safaris, you are in the best hands!! I felt really comfortable the whole time. Richard is such a nice guy with a bright smile and he is making sure you get the best experience so at the end of the day you have seen all the Big 5🤩! I'm looking forward to my next trip with you, Richard! Thanks so much for everything, you're amazing!!! Greetings from germany😊

  • 5/5 Moureen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent. My best tour company so far. My experience, 3-day tour of Murchison Park, falls and the boat cruise was superb and fascinating. Our tour guide pointed out the most significant items and explained their context and meaning. The accommodation was excellent and the meals, superb. Richard(the guide) went to great lengths to provide us with experiences much beyond expectations and we cannot thank him enough. We shall definitely do several more trips with K-Safaris.

  • 5/5 Shruti S. 2 years ago on Google
    We did a 7 nights safari with Richard from K-Safaris in Uganda. It has been a memorable experience. We are a family of four with young kids and was a little apprensive about how we would cope with the pace and time on the road. We knew we were in good hands once we met Richard. He was enthusiastic about showing us his beautiful country and its wildlife. Richard made our trip interesting and special and a lot of fun. He focused on giving us an "experience" and he surpassed all our expectations. Whatever was mentioned in our itinerary before our trip, every point was fulfilled. He made sure that every accommodation at the every national park was different than the other. We highly recommend K safari and Richard and wish all the very best for the future. Thank you once again for an amazing vacation.

  • 5/5 Martyn J. 1 year ago on Google
    I went on a 2-day safari Uganda Safari to Murchison Falls. The safari was well organised as we travelled from Kampala early morning in time for lunch and then an afternoon water cruise along river to bottom of Murchinson falls with plenty of animals to be sighted as they came to river. We then had a evening game drive on the way to Pakwach, with our guide Richard providing us with insight and background of the animals which provided incredible insightful understandings as well as ensuring we had opportunities to watch and take photographs as required. Richard showed he has a true appreciation for animals as he treated the animals with respect they deserve in their environment and ensuring that other traffic were aware as they approached animals and not to make unnecessary noise. We then spent an evening at lodge at Pakwach which as comfortable and provided much needed rest. An early morning rise before the sun rose and as we entered the National Park we were able to see the baboons, elephants and giraffes awakening in morning from their sleep which was quite an experience. We then followed the trails and were able to see elephants, giraffes, buffalo, antelopes and many others at a very close distance in their natural environment. We also had sighting of several lions prides which we stayed a considerable away from as you can appreciated. Richard ensured that we had our morning breakfast and we could sit and watch the animals coming to watering hole whilst we sat and enjoyed surroundings. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and Richard demonstrated his knowledge of the wilderness and animals as well as looking to preserve the environment and animals. We had a great entertaining time with Richard and two days flew by and so many experiences with animals and also laughter and joy together, I would highly recommend Richard as a safari guide and also to be able to spend time to learn and also to have fun.

    We just returned from an incredibly moving trip to see the Mountain Gorillas in Uganda. It is an experience hard to describe...exciting and definitely unforgettable. Following a thorough search for a tour company, we chose K-Safaris, in Uganda, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Richard at K-Safaris took care of our every need from beginning to end. He answered all of our questions and his attention to detail resulted in a wonderful itinerary. Our accommodations were stunning, food top-notch, and the gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, magical. K-Safaris has countless 5-star reviews and it's easy to understand why. Richard was professional, knowledgeable and engaging, and dedicated to providing us with the best customer service and travel experience possible. If a guided private/group safari or gorilla tour is in your future, Richard at K-Safaris is a fantastic guide and is highly recommended for a trip of a lifetime.

    We were a group of friends who wanted to have fun. We contacted a number of companies and being born and raised in Uganda, we wanted a company that would give us the beat price/experience. We contacted Richard who responded fast, and actually has the best experience. We felt special since he even offered to be our driver guide. We would recommend them more and more for anyone who loves great experience in Uganda. We actulay have to keep traveling as they give us more options. Thank you k safaris team and Richard firbrhe great experience we had in June this year 2019

  • 5/5 Very Hungry N. 4 years ago on Google
    We booked a 4-day gorilla safari package with KSafaris and we had an absolute blast! Our trip started with a pick-up in Kigali and we drove across the border to go trekking with gorillas in Bwindi National Park. Afterwards we spent some time at Lake Bunyonyi, a highlight for sure. Prior to the trip, we found KSafaris online and the countless 5-star reviews from past guests was comforting. We contacted the company directly to ask for more information about what they can offer and found Richard to be very responsive, helpful and professional. We felt lucky to have Richard as our guide/driver for our trip. Always smiling and aiming to please, he's a fantastic guide and just a wonderful person too. He's been working in the travel industry for over a decade and it's clear to see his passion and dedication to show visitors a 'real travel experience' in Uganda. For anyone wishing to visit Uganda and beyond, these guys will deliver the trip of a lifetime. Highly recommended :)

    We were a group of friends and we decided to give ourselves a treat. We chose K-Safaris because they were able to respond faster and gave us a good price for a 3 day safari. It is actually from thir trip that my passion for safari was realized. We went to murchision national park and the experience was amazing. I would recommend it more and more

    Our experience with K Safaris: (Below in Spanish) I reached out to multiple agencies when I decided I wanted to travel to Uganda. Richard’s enthusiasm and attention to detail in his response sold me right away. And he didn't disappoint. We were lucky enough to spend our trip guided by him. He was flexible at all times, making it happen for more people to join last minute, creating a tailored itinerary based on our preferences and budget, and making changes to the itinerary as we pleased. Uganda itself is a true gem, and Richard's pride of his country makes him go above and beyond to show you everything Uganda has to offer, which is a lot! And he truly enjoys showing his country while taking care of us above anything else. We always felt welcomed and safe at all times. During the course of two weeks a lot of things can happen, and even with the little (really minor) hiccups in the way, he never stop smiling. I think it's also important to mention that his knowledge of the area and all the contacts he has everywhere made possible the impossible in more than a few occasions. That’s truly something invaluable in a guide that really made our trip be on another level. Please keep this in mind when going to Uganda and I can assure you Richard is for sure the best person to do this trip with. When we asked him we wanted to have local experiences, he took us on the have some of the greatest experiences of our trip, he also put in place a few surprises for us during the trip, including birthday celebrations and making each day truly special. He knew I love photography and made sure at all times the car was in the right position for us to take the best shots… his attention to detail and love for what he does is impeccable. I could keep writing for hours about how amazing the trip was, but if you need some references, please ask Richard for my email and I'll be more than happy to provide more feedback if someone has questions. I know how scary can be to travel with someone you don't know, but he became part of our team that's for sure. In short, I’ll recommend K-Safaris over and over again. No doubt. ---------- SPANISH: Our experience with K Safaris: I contacted several agencies when I decided I wanted to travel to Uganda.
