We saw everything we expected to see and more
In the very beginning, Orika Africa listened to what we wanted to do, how much time we had and what our budget was. They developed a tailored safari that exceeded all of our expectations. The wildlife was simply amazing to see from the 4WD, and at one national park we were able to walk with giraffes. Our tour also included an encounter with gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable NP and Chimps at Kibale. Our transport and accommodation were very comfortable, and we couldn’t have been happier with our driver and guide, Claire, who shared a wealth of knowledge during our 12-day tour. We saw everything we expected to see and more.

First exceptional trip to the motherland: Courtesy of Orika
We just wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire Orika Family for their outstanding service. From the initial booking to the very last day, everything was seamless and thoroughly professional. This was our children's first visit to their motherland, and we were quite nervous about how the experience would be for them. Thanks to the exceptional care and dedication of the Orika team, the Murchison Falls tour became the absolute highlight of their trip to Uganda. A special shout-out to our wonderful guides, Cosmas and Claire. They were kind, thoughtful, and incredibly accommodating by the end of the three days, they truly felt like part of the family. The accommodation you arranged was exceptional, the food was outstanding, and the staff delivered top-notch service throughout. To anyone planning a trip to Uganda, we wholeheartedly recommend Orika you won't be disappointed. This definitely won't be our last time using them! Here are some reviews straight from the kids Sancia 13: Very welcoming guides who are very kind and educated us about the animals really well and very entertaining seeing Ugandan animals.

I highly recommend Orika Africa Tours! I booked with them from Australia after they were recommended to me by Compassion, and they assisted me with my journey from Entebbe to Kitgum. William and Brian were so friendly, helpful, and accomodating. They even helped me buy some chickens on the journey north. I won't hesitate to book with them again.

Orika Africa helped us plan a once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure that suited our family's desire to see incredible animals in their natural habitat, on dates that were most convenient for us, and with the level of comfort we wanted. We chose Uganda over other countries in Africa because we could also see gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable NP and chimpanzees at Kibale. We still saw the Big 5 and other animals from the safety of the 4WD, and we also did a walking safari with a ranger in Lake Mburo NP. Our driver and guide, Claire, was very knowledgeable and took great care to make our holiday memorable and enjoyable at every turn. I highly recommend Orika Africa for their professionalism and reliability. William and the office staff planned every detail to perfection.

Our trip with Orika Africa was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived in Uganda until our departure, we were incredibly well looked after. Every lodge we stayed in was thoughtfully chosen beautifully located with welcoming, professional staff, and convenient access to the national parks. Our guide, Amos, was outstanding. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a meaningful and memorable journey. Trekking to see the endangered mountain gorillas was an absolute highlight an experience that reminded us of the importance of supporting conservation efforts and sustainable tourism. Amos made each day an adventure to remember, sharing his knowledge and passion for Uganda's wildlife and landscapes. We highly recommend Orika Africa to anyone seeking a professionally guided, responsible, and truly unforgettable African safari experience.

We had an absolutely fantastic three day tour in Uganda with this highly professional, and incredibly friendly team, especially our exceptional guides Cosmas and Claire, who took outstanding care of us from the very first pickup to the final departure, going above and beyond every step of the way; at the end of the trip, it was hard to say goodbye to our guides due to the strong bond we developed in just those three days, and in addition they even gave us gifts, making it the best travel experience we've ever had and the only company we would ever choose again.

To say Pascal and Orika Safaris went above and beyond is an understatement. They tailored our safari exactly to what we wanted, made it fit perfectly into our ever changing timelines, and even surprised us with little extras such as room upgrades and souvenirs that made the trip magical. Pascal cares so much that you have the best experience and every detail has so much thought behind it. Afterward, he and Will even voluntarily showed us around Kampala helped us buy sports equipment for the school we were volunteering at. This is a small company that truly cares. Pascal and team aren't just guides they became true friends. Orika Safaris is personal, welcoming, and makes you feel like family. I couldn't recommend them enough!
