    Very terrible experience. From food to accommodations. They did not give what they promised. Everything was a mess and I had the worst experience

    Spending the time with Fred was incredible with his funny personality, his advanced knowledge and driving skills. The drives were incredible with animal sightings to include Lions in a tree, Chimps and their families, Close up and personal with Silver Back gorillas with their families. Of course the "normal" sightings of giraffes, Elephants, Wildebeest, varying birdlife and monkeys. Another highlight was our visit to Mubaku Community Project where we met the children the project is educating and enabling self empowerment thinking. Charles took us the through the hospital being built, extra school classrooms being built, the establishment of flowing water and generator power, all being paid for by sponsors and percentage of tour operations. All the accomodation was different, interesting, good food, with fabulous service.

    Claire was a great tour guide/driver. Tumukwase made sure everything was organised and to plan. Would highly recommend using Pamoja for organising Uganda tours. And of course thanks to all of the Gorillas and all other animals.

  • 12 Day Rwanda/Uganda trip of of a lifetime

    Our trip was actually 12 days Rwanda/Uganda Primates. Pamoja Safaris provided a perfect and unique in a lifetime experience. Our guide collaborated with us to devise a diverse and doable trip tying safari, cruises, road trips, National Parks and opportunities to become culturally enlightened by way of engaging with people in their communities. Getting close to animals in their habitats on foot, deep into the National Parks and on the waterfront was life changing. Seeing animals from a vehicle with suspension that was surreal with a driver who navigated it better than Parnelli Jones was impressive. Pamoja Safaris made all the arrangements including reservations for Gorilla Habituation, Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park, game viewing, Murchison Falls and more as well as park entry fees and accommodations. The 12 day journey went smoothly. We felt confidant, comfortable and well cared for. Our guide Charles greeted us with a smile each morning at breakfast, very early and before a full day of wonder. His sense of humor, good cheer and passion for his country and community made the trip even more meaningful. Thank you Charles. Thank you Pamoja Safaris

  • Congratulations to Pamoja and Fred for our Safari in Uganda.

    From day 1 on, my family and myself, we accompanied by Fred our driver for a 10 days trip in Uganda. We all had an awesome time, it was a fantastic human and geographic experience. During this discovery period we enjoyed all kind of wildlife. I strongly recommend Pamoja safaris , they are very professional. Loges , food, trip, organization, events, everything was perfectly prepared matching our expectations. A particular thanks to Fred who contributed making our journey to be safe, pleasant, magic and he never missed his duties. I wish to come back again enjoying another Safari with this team. congrats and take care very kind regards Guy
