I come to Rwanda and Uganda regularly for work and use Jason's company for my various travel from Kigali airport to kabale and around various hospitals in South-west Uganda. Jason is always extremely communicative on WhatsApp, very reasonablly priced and accommodating to my various travel needs.
Alex is also a great driver! He's extremely patient (when my meetings run over time by 2 Hours and he's been stuck waiting for me! Sorry Alex!!), punctual, and a very safe driver. Plus he has excellent music taste! Looking forward to my next trip with him.

I have had two great experiences recently with Abdul as a driver and tour guide, First, he took me to and from my accommodation at Lake Bunyonyi safely and based on that great experience I hired him to take my friends and I to Queen Elizabeth National Park. For this he arranged all of our transportation, lodging, and safaris and we had a fantastic experience. Everything went smoothly and Abdul was very knowledgeable about the park and the region in general. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to travel in Uganda, or even Rwanda which he knows much about as well.

Am still buzzing from this experience in early January 2020- where we met with Jason to drive from Rwanda into Uganda for a 1 day gorilla trek. Jason immediately put your mind at ease that everything would be smooth and not only that, we'd have an incredible time. And we certainly did! From stop offs so we could see local villages and markets, to fantastic lodge accomodation, to amazing drives, informative briefings, & a gorilla trek that will go down as THE best activity I've done and will ever do. Jason did an enormous amount of driving and it didn't seem to tire him. You could see he wanted to make sure we could relax and enjoy - which I'm extremely grateful for. Thanks for everything, and Jason we will definitely be recommending you!

Jason and Amon were excellent guides who who worked with us to ensure we could have a trip completely on our terms and within our budget. The team was super friendly and absolutely went out of their way for us. Amon in particular did absolutely everything in his power to find all the animals we wanted to see when on safari and was in constant communication with other guides in order to do so. Great team!

Me and my daughter just came back from a 2 week trip in Uganda that included gorilla trekking in Biwindi, a hike in the Rwenzori mountains and relaxing in lake bunyonyi. The trip was amazing. Such a beautiful country
Jason organized everything, permits and all, and picked us up and dropped us off. Answered all our questions and was so nice and patient
Amon the driver was also superb
I highly recommend going to Uganda through his company

I was part of a travel group for which Jason organized the logistics - it was great in every way. There were a lot of moving parts, with different places to stay in several parts of Uganda, a bus that unexpectedly needed repairing, and he took care of everything, and kept us all well fed and hydrated. He is energetic, knowledgable, and easy to spend time with. Highly recommended.

I spent over 6 months liaising, planning and talking to Jason about my trip from Rwanda to Uganda and return. His patience, accommodating my wishes, plans and budget was outstanding. As a solo female traveller, I felt quite apprehensive before arriving as I didn't know what to expect and 7 hours in a car with a stranger can be daunting, however it was absolutely brilliant. Abdul fetched me and we spent 7 hours chatting, laughing and learning about both Uganda and Rwanda. Truly I never felt unsafe with the driving, border crossing or any experience whatsoever. The same Jason - he took thr greatest of care of me, helping me out, changing plans, and always every so friendly and helpful. 100% recommend to everyone, especially women travelling solo - you're in the best hands here!

Utilised Jason’s travel services on a recent trip to Uganda. Jason and one of his driver’s Abdul provided an excellent service, both very knowledgable, friendly and careful drivers. Especially helpful at the Rwandan/Ugandan border crossing and amending the itinerary to incorporate the Dian Fossey Museum. Would not hesitate to use Jason to organise a safari or trekking experience.

I organized an unforgettable day trip with Safari Vacations & Travel Services to go from Kigali, Rwanda, to see the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The gorillas certainly did not disappoint. Spending time with them at close range was such a privilege, and the rangers at Bwindi are extremely professional.
It's a very long day, but doable. Martin, my driver and guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, answering every question I had about conservation and livelihoods in Uganda. Martin handled the border crossings very efficiently and organized for us to sampled some delicious local food for lunch. He went over and beyond expectations when I realized that I had accidentally left my wallet at the Rwanda border crossing exit area - he liaised with the site manager on his way back to Kabale who then organized to return my wallet to me in Kigali with everything inside!

Thank you Jason and the team for the most amazing experience in Uganda. Everything went smoothly from the moment we were picked up from the airport until the end of our trip. Our driver innocent was fabulous! I highly recommend visiting lake Bunyonyi with the local guide Brighton, and visiting the local people for a wholesome experience. The gorilla trecking was unbelievable. We could have done with nicer accommodation but otherwise everything was fabulous.
