We had a wonderful experience organized by Kubwa Five Safaris. The service was very customer oriented and the tour guide really knew everything about animals and birds.

We had a lot to see and experience, most especially the culture (traditions) in Zambia.

The daily activities we had during our vacation in Zambia were well selected, we enjoyed every activity.

We plan to visit Zimbabwe next year and we still choose Kubwa Five Safaris to organise our trip there.

Our stay in various hotels became so much more than expected. The trip to Zambia became memorable because of Kubwa Five Safaris. Initially we planned our trip for 8 days and we extended it for 7 more days so that we could visit Botswana too. We had 2 of day of chilling in each country.
Innocent, our guide was a great guide, he showed us some places which were not part of our itinerary. He's a brilliant man who really loves where he comes from and did a spectacular job of making me love it too. I must say he's gem of a person and I will highly recommend that you plan out your trip with Kubwa Five Safaris for your amazing holiday in Zambia and Botswana.

We booked with Kubwa Five Safaris during COVID-19 pandemic for a trip to Rwanda shortly after Rwanda had opened her airports for international flights. We visited a number of places. We greatly needed this kind of trip.

We were 17 of us, the Standard Operating Procedures such as wearing of masks, sanitizers, etc, were all put in place, we used two minibuses which imply that social distance was observed.

We enjoyed the game drives and boat ride, while on our game drive, we saw; lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, etc. The accommodations were well selected and meals were great.

We will travel with Kubwa Five Safaris again.

We took 14 days of vacation in Uganda. Our tour started when an excellent guide/driver, Steven picked us at the airport. Steven is a focused, knowledgeable guide who paid attention to all details in order to provide a memorable and safe experience. He proved many times that he is "The Best Tour Guide in Uganda." For example, he spotted a leopard in a tree just before sunset from quite a distance and provided us with the thrill of fabulous close-up photos/video. We visited Lake Mburo National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale Forest National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, and Kidepo Valley National Park.

The Chimpanzee and Gorilla trekking was very incredible. We saw the big five and dozens of lions in Murchison Falls National, Queen Elizabeth National Park as well as the tree climbing lions in Ishasha. The Rhino trekking at Ziwa Rhino sanctuary was out of ordinary.

Uganda should be preferentially considered by adventure travelers as it offers world-renowned Gorilla Trekking and a less crowded safari experience. The country was more beautiful, the people were friendly and we saw more wild animals than I ever imagined.
I highly recommend this company to anyone for a trip of a lifetime.

We booked the 8 days safari visiting Serengeti national park, Ngorongoro crater, and Tarangire national park and we loved every second of it.

Kubwa Five Safaris displayed a high level of customer care, timekeeping and this included pickup at the airport with a dedicated driver/guide who was with us throughout our safari experience in Tanzania, and travel between all of our chosen destinations.

The organization and the accommodations were perfect. John knows how to find the best view of the animals and let us time to observe. The highlight of the tour was the wildebeest migration. Everything was perfect.

We are very thankful that Kubwa Five Safaris put together such an amazing experience for us. We are so happy that we had an amazing guide the whole way and could understand a little better what was going on around us at any given time.

So I can recommend Kubwa Five Safaris without any doubt! If I plan a further trip to this part of Africa I surely will try to do it with Kubwa Five Safaris again!

We enjoyed a great tour with Kubwa five safaris and the guide was excellent with a lot of knowledge about Uganda. Guide was a remarkable person but whose knowledge of birding was first rate and a proud Uganda, Every time we saw a new animal or bird he got as excited and he was able to explain everything about the bird and Animals in the destination. That’s the type of guide you want! With his help my husband identified about 300 new species of birds. He also seemed to know everyone in Uganda! The gorilla treks was amazing, we big up Kubwa five safaris and the Team your highly recommended.

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.

This was my first time to go to Kenya and also my first to use a tours and travel agent for my holiday. I booked as a solo travelers but I wanted to join other travelers, Kubwa Five Safaris made a great arrangement and I was added to the group that was full of life. We were in Maasai Mara for 3 days and 2 nights.

I worked with Joseph all through, for about 3 months before my trip. He never got tired with my many questions and reservations that I had.

He provided with me various options, and this made my decision making easier.

I booked for a budget safari and I paid in instalments and everything went smooth.

The drive was on time at airport, transfer from the airport to the hotel was prompt with no hitches- we are very time cautious, so this was quite a plus for us.

Pick up from hotel to the airport was also smooth.

I had a wonderful wildlife vacation in Maasai Mara.

After the two game drives in Maasai Mara, we visited the Maasai cultural village, I got to learn a lot about the Maasai Mara.

All in all, thank you Joseph and your team for being reliable.

In a nutshell, thank you for giving me the confidence I needed.

Given a chance, I would recommend your services to anyone and I can't wait to book again you.

We were two people for a budget four days safari in Uganda.

Our experience was wonderful. Good communication, best price offered, and great car. The guys made their best to reshape the initial proposal based on our preferences, and at the end the tour went beyond our expectations.

Our driver and guide was driving sporty but definitely safely, and had deep knowledge of all the places, which allowed to spot very many animals, including leopards and lions.

Absolutely recommended to those how love exploring alternative routes.

My family (4 of us ) and other friends of ours went to Tanzania in August for the Mountain Kilimanjaro Climbing safari.

We had a great experience climbing the Kilimanjaro. The guides, cook, and porter were all really nice, they did their best to enable all of us to make it to the summit in the best possible conditions! They took into account the individual needs of our group and were very calm and experienced in dealing with our concerns.

The genuine care Kubwa Five Safaris shown to us made our experience unforgettable.

We feel privileged to have experienced Mount Kilimanjaro with Kubwa Five Safaris and met such an amazing group of people. Thank you so much.

We recommend you book your mountain climbing through this company for a trip of a lifetime.

The food was really good and varied, which in camps at 4600m is anything but easy.

I highly recommend everyone this wonderful experience without any doubt!
