Bushman safaris was by far the best option of many. Highly professional from the start they helped in every possible way to make our trip perfect. Half a year they kept in regular contact before the big trip and by the time we were ready to come out we felt confident thanks to the team.
Our guide Arnold was unbelievable, his knowledge of nature and bird species incredible. We have a life changing trip and stayed in places we never would have expected to stay. All in all I would highly recommend them and say choose Bushman Safaris as your tour guides!

I am very thankful to Kate for helping me organise my trip to Uganda. She answered email after email, and was extremely friendly and helpful each and every time. She made very useful suggestions and did her best to accommodate all my needs at a fair price. Thank you very much Kate.

The team at Bushman Safari went above and beyond to make sure our time in Tanzania and Uganda were amazing. The tour guides Camillus and Steven are skilled drivers, guides and so knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to ensure each day is an adventure but also make sure you are safe! Kate did an amazing job assisting us with organizing the travel plans and ensuring we get the best experience possible. Our safari experiences were incredible each day topping the one before! It just kept getting better and better! Our gorilla trekking was jaw dropping. I look back at my pictures in aww that they really happened. We highly recommend booking bushman safari for your safari / gorilla trekking dreams. You will not be disappointed!! Trust me!

My wife and I are so glad that we chose Bushman Safaris for our Uganda adventure! During the booking process Kate responded to all of our questions very quickly and was super helpful. Our guide Joseph was excellent, knowledgeable, and fun! He took great care of us the whole time and brought us to so many amazing places. We would definitely recommend Bushman Safaris to our family and friends.

This was the most amazing experience! The drivers (Arnold, Kefar, Peter) all were knowledgeable and went the extra mile (literally) to make sure we had the best adventure ever. Kate provided some extra touches that allowed us to have an wonderful ending to our trip in Uganda. Thank you Bushman Safaris - I plan on returning again and again.

We had a whirlwind safari of 3 days. Our driver and guide, Allen, was great about getting us to see as many amazing sights and animals as possible for the time we had. We saw baby elephants, giraffes, hippos, lions... you name it is we saw it in Murchison Falls National Park. He even found us a leopard!!
Because all the food and accommodations were paid for up front, we didn’t have to worry about bringing lots of cash. Just as a side note, we did end up stopping at an atm for some more souvenir money. Allen made the quick stop for us since he knew where to go. Actually he was very polite about making sure all our stops were safe and clean (aka the toilets).
We were very satisfied with our safari. My only recommendation would be to make it longer then 3 days!

Bushman Safaris is hands down the best safari company you could book. Kate was incredible and handled everything for me when planning and booking my safari. Everything was perfect, down to the smallest details. And my guide, Ayub, was incredibly knowledgable and helpful throughout my 11 day safari. From Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks for game drives (including one night game drive which was extra special) to Kibale for chimp trekking and Mgahinga for gorilla trekking the entire tour was spectacular. Couldn't have asked for a better holiday.

Thanks to Bushman Safari we genuinely had the holiday of a lifetime!
Kate was incredibly helpful with our planning - accommodating our numerous individual requests and working with us to resolve questions or challenges with regards to planning. She was very quick to respond in communication and was eager to tailor the trip in order to meet our specific desires.
Our tour guides, Camillus (Tanzania) and Steven (Uganda), were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. They kept us well informed throughout our experience and were a pleasure to have accompanying us.
5 stars isn't enough!

Just returned from a fantastic 12 day safari in Uganda with Bushman Safaris. We visited the Gorillas, of course, and also Chimpanzees and Golden tailed monkeys. A real privilege to get up close to these animals in their natural habitat and to be able to compare how they live and act together. We also travelled extensively on the usual tourist trail from Murchisson Falls (very impressive) in the West to Mgahinga in the far South. A beautiful country, very safe for tourists and where everyone we met was very welcoming.
We booked through Bushman Safaris which turned out to be an excellent choice. We had to cancel in 2020 due to Covid, and again in 2021, before finally managing to make the trip in 2022. Kate, in the office, was extremely helpful during this period, refunding money, making alterations to the trip as necessary to cope with changes to lodges and the availability of the primate licences. With her help we were able to personalise the trip to take in the activities we particularly wanted which was an added bonus.
The trip itself went very smoothly from when we were first met at the airport by Kate and Ayub, our guide and driver, until we were dropped back off to catch our return flight (at 0100 am!). Ayub was extremely knowledgable about the country, its flora and fauna, and worked hard to make it a fun trip for us all, even arranging an impromptu tea picking experience for us on the road as we drove past plantation which was great fun. We stayed in some fantastic lodges, all chosen by Kate, while Ayub made sure everything else ran to plan.
We were very much a mixed group; I am in my late sixties while my two sons and my daughter in law are in their thirties. The trip was superbly designed so that it was accessible and engaging for all and we have created some very special family memories in Uganda!

Bushman’s Safari was the most amazing experience! The drivers were super sweet and made sure each person enjoyed themself on the safari’s. The tours they have we’re always full of information and they made it a priority that we got to see everything Africa offered. I highly recommend using Bushman’s and you won’t be disappointed!
