Amazing experience.

5.00From the moment Ashadu picked us up at our hotel to dropping us back off was magical. He is a very knowledgeable guide full of facts. The journey of 5hrs North took us through small towns until we arrived at Murchison Falls National Park where the adventure continued. The falls / the 3hr cruise on the Nile the 2 games drives, staying over in the lovely accommodation, each had their own story to tell. This was my 1st Safari in Africa and won't be my last. Worth every penny spent. Pictures do not do this any justice - you need to see with your own eyes. 👌
Ashadu is the best!!! Such a memorable experience👌🏽

5.00Since the beginning, Deo was very responsive to my questions and gave me all the information I needed to go on the Murchison Falls 3 day safari tour. He is kind and organized and provided a safe, fun, and relaxing trip for my group. Our expectations of the trip were blown away. We saw a ton of wildlife with the help of a park ranger. We stayed at Fort Murchison which was absolutely beautiful. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and the food was top notch! I would highly recommend Deo and his company to anyone traveling to Murchison Falls!

5.00From the start has the experience with Kafusafari fantastic! From first contact where we pland our Safari trip, we got good information fast and everything was tip top. We enjoyed our weekend that outlived all our expectations. Guide with a lot of knowledge made sure we everything we wanted. The rhino tracking, our stay at the lodge and boat safari was great.But the highlight was driving around in the car seeing all the animals🦛🐘🦒🐃🐒 After that amazing experience we decided to do the Gorilla tracking as well. Again all communication around the trip was easy and nice. The weekend in Biwindi was above highest hopes. Guide that stopped along the way at every photo moment and shared a lot of information about the area📸 The unreal experience to se the mountain gorillas up close🤩🦍 And then the other activities kafusafari had pland like lunch with á beautiful view af a lake, local community walk and stoping by the drum makers make the trip unforgettable!
