What Our Clients Say!
Maps6583502025-02-16Verified Beautiful country. Beautiful country, full of animal and human emotions. I can only encourage you to visit country. gardenerFlossmoor2024-12-20Verified The Ultimate in Uganda Safaris, Gorilla and Chimp Trekking This was our second trip with Johnnie and we would not consider visiting Uganda with any other company or guide. He tailor made the trip for us and the logistics and accommodations worked out perfectly. He is well known and respected by his colleagues. His experience, knowledge, and ability to educate his clients is remarkable. My wife and I have traveled to many countries and never encountered a guide better than Johnnie. Not only is he second to none in his field, but his warmth, caring and sense of humor made the trip even more special. We highly recommend Johnnie.Kathy and Myras Osman Crown Point, Indiana USA Sally B2023-10-02Verified Unbelievable trip to Uganda We recently returned from a fabulous 16-day birding trip in Uganda with Johnnie. Johnnie came highly recommended, and he did not disappoint! He is an excellent birder with an extraordinary ability to both hear and see birds before anyone else! He was clear in locating and describing to us where to find the birds and we came away with a list of 363 birds, a large number of which were lifers. His patience and commitment to finding and showing us the magnificent birds of Uganda, was greatly appreciated. In doing so he drew on some very capable, young local birders, many of whom are part of Johnnie's programme to increase the quality of bird guides and protect the resources of Uganda through avian tourism. In addition to his birding expertise, Johnnie has a vast knowledge of the animals, butterflies and plants that we came across, and he generously shared his knowledge with us. Furthermore, the logistical details were masterfully organised - we stayed in some very special places, with excellent service provided by people that clearly know and like Johnnie; the chimp and gorilla treks were seamlessly arranged and handled; lunches and other breaks on longer drives were at some great spots; and the other service providers (like the boats to see the Shoebill or to go up the channel) were all at the right place, at the right time! I would have absolutely no reservation in recommending Johnnie in planning your trip and as a guide to Uganda or her neighboring countries. glover2023-01-07Verified Johnnie Eagle Eye! Surely Johnnie must be the best bird guide in Uganda! Husband and I, along with two others, spent about 10 days in Uganda with Johnnie driving and guiding. (Sorry we didn't get to meet Agnes.) As others have said here, he has an amazing ability to spot and identify birds, often while skillfully maneuvering on some crazy roads! He has a nice sense of humor too, seems to know all the service providers along the way and puts them all at ease. We feel like he took good care of us on the gorilla trekking piece of our trip as well. Both days we had permits for we (along with the help of earlier trackers) located our assigned gorilla family within an hour of trekking. We were all fit seniors, but were admittedly glad NOT to trek several hours. Think he helped ensure we were assigned to an easier group...... He was also patient with those of us with less than perfect memory - patiently repeating names of bird already identified......again and again. "And that's a what again...?" Douwe V2022-08-12Verified Very knowledgeable and professional crew! We very much enjoyed the tour around Uganda that Johnnie organised for us. Lawrence has been our guide and we have been in very safe and knowledgeable hands! unmichelle2019-06-21Verified Knowledgeable, caring, and very professional Johnnie and Agnes are both amazing. We went with a group looking for parrots, as well as mammals. We went to multiple places in Uganda. It is obvious that Johnnie and Agnes care about birds and other animals, about conservation, about people, about Uganda, and about everyone's overall experience. Johnnie takes answering your questions very seriously, and tries to find answers to questions he doesn't know (though, he knows a lot! He is a walking encyclopedia.) What really impressed me, though, is that even after our tour with them ended, Johnnie called ahead to connect with a guide with another company we were using for gorilla trekking to make sure we had the best experience possible. The other guides we met seem to know and love Johnnie and Agnes, too, which indicates what a great resource they are not only to their clients but also to their profession in general. Many had attended training sessions given by Johnnie to improve their knowledge of Uganda wildlife.I hope to go on another tour from Johnnie and Agnes! Uganda is beautiful, and you are in excellent hands with Johnnie and Agnes. jenseits2019-06-12Verified You are in excellent hands with Johnnie Uganda Safaris I thoroughly enjoyed my two weeks in Uganda, in no small part due to Johnnie's expert guiding. If you're coming to Uganda to see wildlife, especially birds, then you want your guide to be exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled at seeing the subtlest signs of animals and hearing things long before anything comes into view. Johnnie can spot things that don't seem humanly possible and has the magical ability to talk to you, listen to other conversations going on, and then also hear and identify bird calls out in the distant sky. He really pays attention to what interests you and then goes out of his way to point those things out to you. If he comes to a sudden stop and jumps out of the jeep, you better follow with your binoculars ready ... he's about to point out something really cool! He's a great conversationalist (it seems like he speaks every single local language; a great asset, by the way) and presents a lot of interesting information about whatever interests you... by it about birds, mammals, local customs and cultures, whatever interests you. In addition to being interesting to talk to, he's a consummate professional with exceptionally high standards. Our co-guide was Agnes, who was a delight. Johnnie and Agnes will make sure you see what you want to see while keeping you safe, well-fed and hydrated, and making sure you get where you need to be, on time. On our trip, we changed locations about every two days in order to fit in a packed itinerary -- that's a lot of logistics. And Johnnie and Agnes made the whole trip easy and enjoyable!Highlights of this trip included a game drive in Queen Elizabeth Park, where we saw so many elephants, lions, buffalo, hippos and more. Plus great birding in many locations. The chimp tracking was incredible! So many once-in-a-lifetime experiences packed into just a few unforgettable days. Other guides I talked to later all knew Johnnie because he's an well-respected trainer of guides, country-wide. And they all agree that he's the best. I can't recommend Uganda, and Johnnie Uganda Safaris, enough. LoveAllCreatures2019-06-12Verified Looking for the Congo African Grey Parrots We are a small group of parrot lovers traveling to Uganda hoping to see the endangered Congo African Grey Parrots in the wild. We started from Entebee, passing Lake Mburo, Queen Elizabeth and Kibale Forest National Parks and visited the Bugala Island before looping back to Entebee. It was a 10-day Journey. Johnnie and Agnes, owners of Johnnie Uganda Safaris, provided excellent care and knowledgeable information along the way. Their interest in conservation, curiosity about all wildlife and love of Uganda made this trip a very pleasant experience. Luckily, we managed to see some Congo African Grey Parrots and yet the number of birds we saw in total is less than 60. It really matters to protect these birds and many other endangered wildlife.Ugandans are very friendly people and Uganda is a very beautiful country. Johnnie can 'see the birds with his eyes'. Enjoy! Tracy E2019-02-08Verified Many amazing 3 day Uganda trips... Look no further if you need to make a memorable trip to or within the Pearl of Africa, Johnnie Uganda Safaris are only an email or phone call away to come up with great itineraries for your memorable trips. They are just the best!I have traveled to a number of places with in Uganda such as Kasenge in Mukono (I enjoyed the family forest nature walk and camping ) in 2015,Griffin falls in Mabira ( Zip lining was an adventure together with a forest walk) and Queen Elizabeth N.P in 2016 (seeing those wild animals at close range was unforgettable), Eco tourism place in Mukono, i forget the name (we enjoyed the forest walk together with learning more about plants in their herbal garden) in 2017. The most recent trip in Dec 2018 was Lake Mburo N.P with my son; It was his first experience in the "jungle" and he really enjoyed every bit of it. Right from seeing the animals he sees on TV and story books live such as Impalas, warthogs, zebras, monkeys, baboons, waterbucks, bird species, name it . We also had a walk around to learn more about the Ankole culture (long horned cattle, milking, making eshabwe, ghee, identifying tree plans and their importance, bird species, etc). We visited the museum at Igongo Cultural center on one of the trip days and it was extremely educative.I could go on and on and on...Johnnie and Agnes are personal friends /family to me. It is a very professional duo, great at time keeping, responding to inquiries in record time and make people feel at home. I am always at peace when i book a trip with Johnnie Uganda Safaris and Birding in Paradise because they have all the itineraries already figured out and all I have to do is relax and enjoy and make memories for life.Again I say, look no further ...Johnnie Uganda Safaris (and Birding in Paradise) are the best at handling your dream trips to and within Uganda Ivan Philip2019-02-07Verified Johnnie and Agness Kamugisha the magic charm for my dream vacations Its like Johnnie never misses a lion!First class treatment top notch time management, very knowledgeable conversations, a safe trip, memories, inspiration, they really got me on that path to self discovery out on the wild, i could even hear myself think in the serenity, such a peaceful journey, they are very good with little children, teens even the adults and have conversation for all age groups, i even became so famous for touring in my circle and even got revered for my touring because my experiences were so intimate and unique, not to mention, photographs, and lovely moments, it felt like i was part of the family, fine dining, i had a view over the queen elizabeth park in my wooden cottage with glass doors, felt like simba in the lion king. Whenever i want to tour Uganda i know who to call on speed dial to schedule my trip.i also went to sipi falls with them, did zip lining in mabira, bird watching in multiple locations,
