Tourist reviews for katella Uganda Safaris
Best experience ever. So much better than I imagined. Florence help plan and my guide went above and beyond to make sure I had the ultimate experience. I can't thank them enough. There was lots of early mornings and travelling, but it was so worth itPosted on Joanne Janson Amazing adventure organised and given by Katella. I highly recommend them from booking , organising to the tour , fabulous company, highly recommend, Thank youPosted on Michelle Griffiths Dream come true—our expectations were exceeded with Katella Uganda Safaris. My sister and I just completed the 8 Days Primates and Wildlife Safari in Uganda, and it was an unforgettable experience. Communication with Florence before and during the trip was excellent, and the planning of activities as well as the daily coordination with our guide, Moses, was seamless. Our safari car was comfortable for the long drives, and the pop-up roof was perfect for wildlife viewing. Each accommodation Florence booked had us saying, “It can’t get better than this”—and yet, every time, it did. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Moses. He’s a family man with a heart of gold and eagle eyes for spotting wildlife. One of my favorite memories was when my sister said, “Pineapple! I love pineapple!” after spotting women selling them on the roadside. Without hesitation, Moses pulled over, bought one, and later found a shaded spot along the road where he cut it up for us to share. This is just one special memory of many that I will remember forever. We highly recommend Katella Uganda Safaris and hope to return to Uganda—with Katella and Moses again.Posted on Savanna Morrisette Gorilla trekking in Rwanda was absolutely magical. My children (ages 5 and 7) were not old enough to join my husband and I on the trek (must be 15+) and Florence was able to find alternate experiences that they could enjoy while we were visiting Rwanda as well - the Ellen DeGeneres campus and museum was a favorite of my daughter, and the trip to a nearby cultural village was a favorite of my son. A great family trip had by all!Posted on Monique Jacobs Our Katella Uganda Safari with Edwin in Tanzania was excellent. He knew where to find all the animals (we saw lots and everything!), he was a very careful driver on horrible roads, and accommodated our every wish! Our lodging was superior. Food was buffet for breakfast and dinner and either a box lunch or picnic style for lunch. There was so much food at every meal! It was very good! I could not recommend this safari enough! It was a dream (since 1989) come true!Posted on Lisa Pomroy Absolutely loved my gorilla trekking experience with Katella! Bright, my tour guide, was exceptional—he knew exactly where to go for the best chances of spotting multiple gorillas. He also suggested a boat ride to explore Punishment Island and a few others, and I’m so glad I said yes—it turned out to be an unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend Katella and will definitely book with them again on my next trip to Africa. Huge thanks to Bright and the Katella team!Posted on Theepan Baskaran We highly recommend Katella Safaris! We had a wonderful trip and will never forget our time in Uganda with Yonah, who was very knowledgable and made our transitions from place to place as smooth as possible. Fantastic trip and fantastic tour!Posted on Nicole Cuizon My husband and I just got back from an amazing trip traveling through Uganda and Rwanda with Katella. This is the first time we have booked with a local company rather than a USA based one. We were nervous about if it was legit or not, as the price we were quoted from Katella was significantly more affordable than the high-end US company we usually travel abroad with. However, all fears went away when we saw our driver, Robert, holding up our names outside the airport! From the start, Flo was great to work with by helping us create a custom itinerary to meet our needs. She would respond to our inquiries almost instantly no matter the time difference, to the point that we thought she was AI, but she is not lol! We chose the mid-range accommodations, only switching out one of the hotels offered. All of the hotels we stayed at exceeded our expectations. They were all very clean, gave you plenty of food (and food choices) and water, had extremely accommodating staff and were safe. Despite the warnings you receive by the US, I never once felt unsafe. Quite the opposite. At one point through a community tour in Uganda, we took shelter on a stranger’s porch during pouring rain. Instead of the homeowner asking what we were doing, they asked us if we would like to come in! Our driver Robert was the best! I highly recommend Robert as a driver. He is cool, calm and collective despite what the road challenge is. He always went out of his way to make sure we hit all the stops we wanted to go to…even if they weren’t on the itinerary - like, Robert can you take me to a gas station to get a Coke, can we stop and get souvenirs there, can you take us to another market or can you take me to a clean bathroom lol-he was always extremely accommodating! We did quite a few adventures -boat safaris, land safaris, chimpanzee trekking, gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda and golden monkey trekking. Throughout all of our adventures, Robert always got us to our starting point safely and early so we had a comfortable amount of time to settle before each adventure and get the best seats! He also would work with the trekking people to insure we were on the “easy” treks and made sure they were aware we wanted porters - because those treks were no joke. Having an experienced driver like Robert will ensure your trip meets your expectations. I highly recommend Katella Uganda Safaris and hope to travel with them again in the future!Posted on Renee Keller
Posted on Joanne J Best experience ever Florence and her team were able to make my life-long dream a reality. For years, I had post poned my dream trip to Africa as no one wanted to come with me, and I was told it's not safe. I'm so grateful I just took the plunge and did it. After lots of research I landed with Katella Safaris. Florence was amazing in helping me to plan and once I got to Uganda my tour guide went out of his way to make sure I had the ultimate experience. Every day was an OMG day. The animal experiences were better than I hoped for, accommodation was beautiful. But be realistic. For the best viewing times, you are up before sunrise. Uganda is a big country, there's alot of driving and the dirt roads aren't that great. My guide was so informative and proud of his country. You really will fall in love with this place.Posted on Philippa H The Pearl of Africa. Florence organised the perfect trip for us. We did 10 days around Uganda including Chimp and Gorilla Trekking which we loved. Our Guide Bryt was friendly and knowledgeable. Our favourite stay was at Four Gorilla lodge for the trekking. We can't wait to come back and see more of Uganda with Katella!Posted on tropicalpool Amazing Safari to Uganda and Tanzania My husband and I spent almost 3 weeks in Uganda and Tanzania with Katella Uganda and it was absolutely amazing. Our guide and driver, Bryt was waiting for us at the airport in Entebbe and spent the next 12 days with us. Florence crafted an itinerary specific to our request and arranged all lodging and meals. We spent two night outside of Kampala and did a city tour on our first full day. Florence and Bryt pivoted without complaint when we decided we wanted to see a Shoebill stork before we left Entebbe and were able to quickly arrange for us to visit the swamp. We spent a wonderful night at the Ziwi Rhino Sanctuary before heading to Murchinson Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Mgahinga, and Lake Mburo Nationals Parks and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The lodges were fantastic and the food was great. Bryt was knowledgeable and always seemed to be able to find great animal sightings. We had some long days and he was up for it! He was also willing to stop at local stores when we needed soda and mosquito repellant, as well as the ATM. One late afternoon/early afternoon we found a leopard sleeping only 25 feet from the road and Bryt let us spend so much time with it, just watching and being in awe of being so close to a leopard! We also saw a baby hippo that was only about a month old!We had a swamp tour to see a Shoebill, a walking safari with Rhinos, night game drives, two gorilla treks, a chimpanzee trek, a walking safari with giraffes, two boat rides and so many game drives.After 12 wonderful days in Uganda- just a fabulous country with friendly people, we flew to Tanzania for 8 days where we were met by our guide and driver Moses. Tanzania was very, very busy compared to Uganda. We spent time in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Again, the lodging was spot on and Moses was great. At a couple of our lodges we had elephants and buffalo right in camp, and at one we could hear lions at night. Staff again was extremely friendly. The wildlife sightings in Serengeti were incredible, from massive secretary birds and ostriches to cheetahs (far away), lions on a buffalo kill and a leopard with an impala in a tree. It also never got old seeing elephants walk by our Land Cruiser! Both Bryt and Moses were knowledgeable about the animals and their countries. We learned so much. Thank you Florence, Bryt and Moses for making a dream come true. We will not hesitate to use Katella Uganda when (not if!!) we return!BrendaPosted on debradee60 Adventure of a lifetime 💖 OMG …. What an adventure. I went with a good friend and we are both blown away by the amount of adventures we managed to pack into 12 days !! Gorillas, chimps, hippos ….. these were in their own parks and looked after by rangers 24/7 …. So no poaching 👍 Lots of safaris and we saw all the big 5 … thanks to our drivers eye sight and patience 🥰 We stayed at some amazing lodges with great food choices. Having everything organised by Florence at Katella Uganda Safaris made everything move like a dream. We would book with them again in a heart beat …. But we’d want Noah as our guide and driver again. He totally got our sense of humour and we had plenty of laughs along the way. If you’re looking for a faultless itinerary …. Katella are amazing 💖Posted on Michelle G Absolutely amazing What a marvellous experience What can I say about katella safaris except WOW WOW WOW, absolutely amazing company, from planning the adventure to greeting us at the airport to the the trip and tour Guide Noah who’s knowledge and friendly demeanour was spot on . Thank you Katella for making my dream come truePosted on MORCPOM1 12 Day Gorilla Trekking Tour - Katella Uganda Safaris We completed our 12 day tour with Katella Safari in Uganda, flying from Australia. This tour from start to finish was exceptional. Our driver Yonah was amazing and he went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. Nothing was too much trouble for him during the tour. If you are thinking of going to see the Gorilla/Uganda this is the tour company you need to book with. I cannot wait to book our next trip to Kenya with Florence and the team. Hopefully we can have Yonah as our tour guide again. I cannot say enough about the professionalism, continued contact prior, throughout and after returning from the Katella team to ensure we arrived home to Australia safely. This would have to be one of the most outstanding tours we have completed. There is not one thing that we would have changed about this tour. Thank you Florence & Yonah, we are so grateful for showing us such a wonderful experience we will never forget our time in Uganda!Posted on Heather S Uganda and Tanzania was amazing with Katella From the planning, flexibility of what we wanted and Al the lodging and activities, they did an excellent job making sure we had what we needed during our trip in Uganda and Tanzania. All the lodging was wonderful, and we did rafting, bwindi to trek to the gorillas and also trekked to the golden monkeys. We had a chance to see how beautiful Uganda is. The safari in Serengeti was amazing and also great lodging and the culture of both countries was so lovely. The only thing to be prepared for is the very long drives to get to each activity.Posted on Estate Lindholm Dream Come True Dream come true—our expectations were exceeded with Katella Uganda Safaris.

We had a change of plans three weeks before our scheduled trip that warrented moving leg 2 of our trip from Kenya to Tanzania and Florence masterfully currated a new itinerary for the second half of our trip with so much ease, and speed. I had so much anxiety about having to make the quick change in our plans but Florence gave me so much peace of mind and the trip was absolutely incredible, better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you, Florence and team!Posted on CaronMcDonald Safari Highlights of Uganda Just resting in Entebbe before flying back to UK after our amazing Uganda safari. Florence arranged a fantastic itinerary to include chimpanzee trekking, boat trip on kazinga channel to see hippos, upclose viewing of lion and leopard, walking safari with giraffe and a once in a lifetime experience with the mountain gorillas of bwindi forest. All accommodation was great, food delicious, staff welcoming and brilliant service all round. Noah, our fantastic guide was helpful, kind and patient. He was extremely knowledgeable about all wildlife and all questions we had about Ugandan society. Note roads are really bumpy in some places so journeys are long, public toilets variable. Beautiful country, amazing wildlife experiencesTripadvisor rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 106 reviews
