Tourist reviews for katella Uganda Safaris
This is the best holiday I’ve ever been on. Katella Safaris were sensational, from planning stage and right through every day of the holiday. They made sure I saw everything that I listed that I wanted to do on the holiday plus many extra things that I wouldn’t have considered but will absolutely sensational. The guides and drivers were all fantastic, So warm, friendly and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble for them, especially the odd late change when I wanted to see something that I haven’t listed. I would highly recommend Katella Safaris to anyone wanting to plan a trip to Uganda and or Kenya.Posted on Google Mark Durbridge We had the BEST Safari experience with Katella! Our guides in Uganda (Yonah) and in Tanzania (Chris) were absolutely incredible! They were both so knowledgeable, experienced, and ensured that our trip was truly a once in a life time experience! We saw 4 of the Big 5 on Day ONE in Uganda and saw ALL of the Big 5 in Tanzania! The entire Katella crew was hands-on from beginning to end to ensure we had the best safari experience….and we did!! Thank you, Katella!Posted on Google Stephanie Hollinger I don’t even know where to start to express my gratitude to Katella for a trip of a lifetime. From the beginning, Florence was very kind, patient, and informative. I felt I was in good hands right from the start due to her excellent communication, kindness, and tips along the way. The itinerary she created was full of can’t miss experiences. My driver/guide Deneson was the best guide I have ever had on any trip . He always had interesting things to tell me about the places we visited and at the same time made everything fun. He was so helpful and often anticipated my needs. Because of Deneson, I didn’t feel like I was making the trip alone. I’m very grateful that he was my guide. He was the absolute perfect combination of a guide with an extensive knowledge of Uganda along with a terrific personality which made everything including the car rides so much more fun! He always made sure that I was well taken care of and he made my trip worry-free. If I am able to return to east Africa, I will most definitely book with Katella and hope for Deneson as my guide. Thank you Katella!! ❤️Posted on Google Kristen Kessel We hat an amazing time with Katella Uganda Safari. Our guide Moses Salongo made our 9 day trip more than memorable. The hospitality, kindness and perfect communication made him the splendid guide. He balanced perfectly between giving us privacy and being there whenever we needed him. He answered us all our questions while guiding and driving/ navigating us safely through the country. The communication with Florence before, during and after the trip was effortless, accounting for all our wishes, and selecting great lodges for our trip. In 7 days we visited Murchison Falls, Kibale for Chimpanzee trekking, Bwindi for Gorillas and Mahinga for Golden Monkeys and had a great time on every one of these amazing activities. There was no impact of Ebola on any activities or our entire travel itinerary, we were easily able to cross the border to Rwanda and fly out to Tanzania.Posted on Google M. D. Katella delivered the trip of a lifetime for our family! Florence did a great job of designing a program that addressed the different interests of our family of 3, and at a reasonable price point. When our family member encountered health issues that could have affected the trip, Florence worked with us to adjust the trip again making sure we were all comfortable and had the best chance of success. She responded to texts at all hours and always with professionalism and warmth. She checked in on us throughout our visit to ensure all was going well. Our guide Isaac Serwaada became like family, going above and beyond, paying attention to details, anticipating our needs, and joining in the fun. His depth of knowledge on Uganda is unmatched and he seems to know people in every corner. He is a gem and made our trip extra special - I cannot thank him enough. I would not hesitate to work with this team of stellar travel experts, and Uganda is an extraordinary country with so much diversity, rich culture, exceptional vistas, and fun activities. I hope to return and use Katella again!Posted on Google Susan Reed We are currently traveling Uganda and it is magical. I booked everything from the UK directly with Katella Uganda Safaris. Their service whist organising the trip has been fantastic. Also showed great flexibility to change route once the UK government advice was updated. During our trip Florence has stayed in contact to make sure everything runs smoothly. When we had only 1hrs to transfer in Entebbe from international arrivals to an internal flight, she organised someone to help us with all the formalities and security checks. This eliminated stress and we made the flight in time. On our own we would have missed it, even as seasoned travellers. The lodges she recommended are great.Posted on Google Annemieke Groeneveld Most incredible trip to Uganda thanks to Katella. Florence helped us book the right excursions and accommodations. Everything was amazing. Noah our driver was wonderful. Kibale national park, crater lakes, Queen Elizabeth national park and Bwindi. One amazing experience after another. Put Uganda at the top of your list of travel destinations and let Katella plan the rest! You will not be disappointed.Posted on Google Danijela Stipanov I am so happy to share about the wonderful experience we had on our private safari trip to Uganda and Rwanda with Katella Uganda Safaris! We were met at the Entebbe airport by our driver and guide, who was with us for the entire 3 weeks. I didn't take any time at all to feel comfortable and pampered in the Landcruiser, with plenty of room for 4 of us (and all our bags) - even on some of the often rough roads and and safari tracks! Our trip started with a day in Kampala learning more about the country, and its history. That night we had an amazing outdoor cultural experience with music and dance from all around Uganda and a wonderful dinner. The next day we were off to see white rhinos, the fabulous Murchenson Falls, and our first night in a lodge. On our first game drive the next morning we saw elephants, giraffe, Cape Buffalo, Water Bucks, warthogs, lions and a leopard. Each day that followed we visited different parks and reserves on early morning and evening safari rides to see animals leaving for or returning to resting places. With the pop-top land cruiser we felt safe and secure with plenty of room for everyone to put their cameras and binoculars to good use, as there were always animals to admire! Our guide was an incredible spotter, and for those of us who had difficulty picking an animal out of the background he was always patient and pointed us in the right direction. The tour included a number of excellent treks in national parks to see chimpanzees, gorillas, and golden monkeys. We also had several boat excursions down rivers or in lakes to see the many animals in the water at the shore during the day - hippos, crocodiles and more elephants! Wherever we went, we fount it to be a 'birders paradise' with so many beautiful and exotic species - I think our 'count' was 85! Our days were busy with adventures, so Katella always arranged our lodging to be close by. Every one of the lodges was wonderful! Staff members always greeted us with warm damp towels and a nice cool drink. The lodges were clean, quiet and comfortable, with attentive and kind staff members who were always there to help. Meals, all of which were included, were varied and always delicious, and frequently the chefs came out to meet us and discuss specific menu options. Katella also arranged a number of local jungle walks and community visits where we learned about local customs, more about the history and culture, saw beautiful crafts being made and met warm, welcoming people. It was our first trip to Africa and we couldn't have been happier with the great organization, thoughtful planning, local expertise and excellent communication Katella provided. We couldn't imagine a better experience and would definitely return! Thank you Katella for the trip of a lifetime!Posted on Google Kimberly Kerns Our 21-day journey with Katella Uganda Safaris through Uganda and Rwanda was nothing short of extraordinary—one of the most meaningful and unforgettable travel experiences we have ever had. Uganda’s landscapes are breathtakingly diverse. Trekking through the misty forests of Bwindi to encounter the majestic mountain gorillas was an experience beyond words! The chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest was equally thrilling, Beyond the primates, Uganda offered incredible wildlife viewing in its national parks. From elephants and lions to giraffes and countless bird species, every game drive felt like stepping into a nature documentary. The scenery—rolling hills, crater lakes, and the vast savannah—was spectacular at every turn. Rwanda added another beautiful dimension to the journey. Trekking to see golden monkeys was equally pleasing, hiking up Mt Bisoke to visit Dian’s gravesite was spiritually rewarding! Kigali is one of the cleanest and most vibrant cities we have visited in Africa! Thanks Florence for exceptional itinerary! The logistics of traveling across two countries for three weeks were handled seamlessly, allowing us to simply enjoy the adventure. The lodges were beautifully located, comfortable, and often surrounded by stunning nature and friendly staff! We return home deeply grateful for the experience and would recommend this journey wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a truly extraordinary African adventure.Posted on Google Jittiya Dearden
Posted on Tripadvisor NickySW12 Fabulous safari with Katella In July I went on a 15 day safari in Uganda with Katella Uganda Safaris and it was an amazing trip. I chose Katella after checking reviews and Florence created an itinerary covering everything I asked for. I flew with Uganda airlines direct from London to Entebbe and when they changed my flight dates last minute, Florence quickly and with no fuss amended my itinerary. I did 2 gorilla treks (Bwindi and Mgahinga), chimp trekking, golden monkey trekking and lion tracking (QE park). All were excellent although the chimps didn’t come down from the trees, apparently because it rained the night before and they don’t like to get their paws muddy😂. All the accommodation was very good and some were luxurious, food was also excellent and plentiful. My guide Noah was outstanding. His wildlife spotting skills were off the scale and he was professional but also great fun. Travelling solo was a slight concern as spending so much time with one guide but it worked perfectly and in the lodges I always met people to chat to at dinner and as many do similar routes, I bumped into some people several times whether at dinner or on a trek which was very nice. I’ve been on quite a few safaris in Kenya, Zambia, Botswana etc and I was surprised at how much wildlife I saw in Uganda. I chose primarily for the gorillas but also saw more lions and leopards than I have on a trip to the Masai Mara…luck is obviously part of it but having a great guide makes a big difference. I highly recommend choosing a trip to Uganda with Katella and am hoping to return with friends in the not too distant future. Price wise, booking with a local company avoids the margin that a UK company would add plus supports the Ugandan economy more directly and I found I could afford better accommodation in Uganda than say in Rwanda and Botswana. On the Ebola concerns, as a Brit, we had no restrictions on travel so was not a problem at all. I did have to fill in a health form arriving in Entebbe but was very quick and easy to do. I’ve included my itinerary as may help in your planning! And a sample of photos, still need to sort through the 2000+ I took!!Posted on Tripadvisor Hauke M Amazing Experience in Uganda We hat an amazing time with Katella Uganda Safari.

I completed a Chimpanzee Habituation trek in Kibale National Park and a Gorilla Habituation trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Every part of the trip was great and smooth, from the airport pick up, the comfortable accomodation, all the included meals and the vehicle. As well as the tour, the treks were fantastic. My guide Noah was friendly, knowledgeable and humorous. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore Uganda, I wish I had more time to do Safaris with them also. Thank you Katella and Noah for helping a dream come true !!Posted on Tripadvisor sophie e Best safari We had an amazing trip.Florence was great sorting the details and communication was excellent. Our guide ,Bright , was so helpful and looked after us brilliantly. The wildlife was exceptional especially the gorillas. Would recommend KatellaPosted on Tripadvisor CeLeSTe 🌻...My Dream 🇺🇬💕🦍 Became Reality!!! An Unforgettable Ugandan Adventure! 🇺🇬🦍❤️ with Katella Uganda Safaris... I am so grateful to Florence for helping me plan my Ugandan dream adventure and making sure the trip included the experiences that were important to me. She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process, but pairing me with Deneson as my guide was truly the BEE'S KNEES & the BEST choice she could have ever made!!! I have never experienced the level of kindness that Deneson displayed towards me. He was exceptionally patient, caring, attentive, and accommodating, always making sure I was comfortable. He made me feel safe and genuinely cared for throughout the entire trip. Some of my adventures were: a walk with the rhinos, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park, a stop at the Equator, game drives, a village visit, a chimpanzee track AND the INCREDIBLE GORILLA TREK highlight at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park!!! OMG, my dream became reality!!! I saw so much amazing wildlife and nature and Deneson was always on alert. He even spotted a Shoebill Stork while driving me back after our adventures and pulled over for us to view it and take photos. But what made the trip especially memorable was the time we spent together along the way. It honestly felt like I was traveling with a friend, in much the same way I enjoy traveling with my daughter. I captured several hundred photos & videos and Deneson took many also. There are too many photos to share here and it was so hard to narrow them down. I observed so many animals and Deneson was knowledgeable and informative about all of them. Lastly, Deneson was more than my guide, he became a wonderful companion throughout my adventure. I will always remember his kindness, patience, laughter, and the care he showed me. Thank you, Florence, for creating the trip I dreamed 🦍 of and for pairing me with such a wonderful person. And thank you, Deneson, for making my Ugandan adventure so special. You, Kind Sir were truly one of the best parts of the journey! ❤️🇺🇬🦍Posted on Tripadvisor Aloha808Sue Amazing 13 days in Rwanda and Uganda! Florence and the entire Katella crew are top notch and helped put everything I wanted to do together for a fair price as a solo traveler. Everything from lodges to food to transport exceeded my expectations. My favorite person by far was my guide, Bryt. He’s knowledgeable, funny and had the patience of a saint with all my questions. He truly made my visit the trip of a lifetime!Posted on Tripadvisor MarkyDee Best holiday I’ve ever done This is the best holiday I’ve ever done and I travel often. Katella Safaris were absolutely sensational from the time I was organising my trip right through to the end of my 16 day holiday. I sent Florence a list of things I wanted to do and see in Kenya and Uganda and she couldn’t have been more accommodating. She made sure that I did everything I wanted to do and added extra things which were all so so good. All of my guides and drivers were fantastic. They were all so friendly and knowledgeable and went out of their way to make sure I had the best experience. If I wanted to change anything they were so accommodating to make sure I had my dream trip. I highly recommend Katella Safaris for your visit to Uganda and Kenya. Every day there was something new and exciting and the hotels they booked for me we’re all fantastic.. I managed to see every animal that I had on my list including some that are very difficult to spot like leopards. If you’re considering a trip to Uganda or Kenya, please message Florence at Katella. She will organise the best trip you’ve ever done..Posted on Tripadvisor Stephanie H Book with Katella for the BEST Safari! We had the BEST Safari experience with Katella!
