Detailed Kenya Tanzania Uganda Rwanda 15-Day Safari

Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi, Kenya

Welcome to East Africa

Your Kenya Tanzania Uganda Rwanda 15-Day Safari begins at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. After completing arrival formalities, meet your safari representative and transfer to Hotel Boulevard Nairobi.

The first day provides time to recover from your international journey and prepare for the adventure ahead. Nairobi is a lively city that combines modern urban life with a strong connection to Kenya’s wildlife heritage. Depending on your arrival time, you may enjoy a meal at the hotel or take a short, relaxed outing nearby.

Use the evening to organize your travel documents, camera equipment, and safari clothing. Neutral-coloured clothes, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, a sun hat, and binoculars will prove useful during the coming days.

Accommodation: Hotel Boulevard Nairobi
Meal Plan: Dinner & Drinking Water

Day 2: Nairobi to Amboseli National Park

Journey to the Land of Elephants

After breakfast, travel by road from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park. The journey introduces you to Kenya’s changing countryside, rural settlements, and open landscapes.

Amboseli is particularly famous for its large elephant herds and views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain. The mountain lies across the border in Tanzania, yet its snow-capped summit can provide a spectacular backdrop to Kenya’s wildlife when weather conditions offer clear visibility.

Afternoon Guided Game Drive

After checking into AA Lodge Amboseli or Amboseli Amanya Lodge, enjoy an afternoon game drive. Look for elephants moving across the plains, zebras grazing in open areas, giraffes browsing among trees, and buffaloes gathering near suitable water sources.

Amboseli’s wetlands attract wildlife throughout the year, although animal movements and viewing conditions change with rainfall and seasonal water availability. Your guide will select suitable routes according to the conditions.

This first wildlife experience establishes the character of the Kenya Tanzania Uganda Rwanda 15-Day Safari, combining remarkable scenery with the opportunity to observe African wildlife in its natural habitat.

Accommodation: AA Lodge Amboseli or Amboseli Amanya Lodge
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Amboseli National Park Safari

Day 3: Full-Day Amboseli National Park Safari

Wildlife Viewing beneath Mount Kilimanjaro

Spend a full day exploring Amboseli National Park through guided game drives. The park’s open plains, seasonal swamps, and scattered woodland support an impressive variety of wildlife.

Elephants remain the main attraction, and you may observe family groups moving between feeding grounds or gathering around wetlands. Other possible sightings include lions, hyenas, wildebeests, zebras, and several antelope species.

Photography and Local Culture

Clear mornings sometimes offer excellent views of Mount Kilimanjaro, creating outstanding opportunities for landscape and wildlife photography. Your guide can help identify promising viewing areas while maintaining a respectful distance from animals.

Communities around Amboseli, particularly Maasai communities, maintain longstanding connections to pastoralism, livestock, and the surrounding landscapes. Depending on arrangements made through local partners, you may be able to add a community visit featuring traditional crafts, beadwork, music, or insights into everyday life. Confirm the availability and cost of any additional activity before booking.

Return to your lodge after the game drives and enjoy dinner as you prepare for the next stage of your Kenya Tanzania Uganda Rwanda 15-Day Safari.

Accommodation: AA Lodge Amboseli or Amboseli Amanya Lodge
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Day 4: Amboseli to Nairobi – City Tour and Cultural Discovery

Return to Kenya’s Capital

After breakfast, drive back to Nairobi. The journey takes approximately four hours under favourable road conditions, although traffic may affect the arrival time.

Depending on your schedule, enjoy a city tour featuring the Karen Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre, and Maasai Market.

Karen Blixen Museum and Giraffe Centre

The Karen Blixen Museum provides historical context about colonial-era Kenya and the former farm associated with the Danish author. At the Giraffe Centre, learn about conservation efforts supporting the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe and the importance of protecting wildlife habitats.

Maasai Market

The Maasai Market offers an opportunity to browse locally made jewellery, beadwork, textiles, carvings, and souvenirs. Market locations and opening days can vary, so the exact visit depends on the day’s arrangements.

Purchasing authentic crafts from local makers can support livelihoods while providing a meaningful reminder of your visit. Always ask permission before photographing vendors and agree on prices respectfully.

Accommodation: Hotel Boulevard Nairobi
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Day 5: Nairobi to Maasai Mara National Reserve

Scenic Journey into Kenya’s Famous Savannah

After breakfast, depart Nairobi for Maasai Mara National Reserve. The road journey takes approximately six hours under favourable conditions, with the exact duration depending on traffic, road conditions, and stops.

The Maasai Mara is one of the leading destinations for Kenya Wildlife Safaris. Its open grasslands and riverine habitats support large populations of herbivores and predators, making it an excellent destination for wildlife photography and guided game drives.

Afternoon Relaxation

Upon arrival, check into La Maison Royale Maasai Mara or Endeem Mara Resort. The itinerary reserves the afternoon for relaxation, giving you time to settle into your accommodation and enjoy the surrounding environment.

Depending on the property and available arrangements, you may enjoy a meal, relax in the lodge grounds, or learn about local activities from staff. Community visits, cultural performances, and guided walks should be confirmed with the lodge or safari operator rather than assumed to be included.

Accommodation: La Maison Royale Maasai Mara or Endeem Mara Resort
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Day 6: Full-Day Maasai Mara Safari and Great Wildlife Migration

Search for the Big Five

Begin your day with guided game drives across Maasai Mara National Reserve. The reserve offers opportunities to search for lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and other wildlife.

Your guide will explore suitable areas according to recent sightings and current conditions. You may also encounter cheetahs, spotted hyenas, giraffes, zebras, and a wide variety of antelope species.

Experience the Great Wildlife Migration

The Great Wildlife Migration involves the seasonal movement of enormous herds of wildebeests and zebras through the greater Serengeti–Mara ecosystem. When herds gather near the Mara River, dramatic crossings may occur. However, migration movements depend on rainfall, grazing conditions, and animal behaviour, so a crossing cannot be guaranteed on a specific day.

Optional Hot Air Balloon Ride

For a different perspective, consider an optional Hot Air Balloon Ride over the Maasai Mara. The experience usually begins before sunrise and reveals the plains, rivers, and wildlife from above. Some operators include a bush breakfast, but arrangements and prices vary.

Later, visit a Maasai community for a cultural experience that may include beadwork, traditional dance, crafts, and insights into pastoral livelihoods. Activities depend on the host community and the confirmed arrangements.

Accommodation: La Maison Royale Maasai Mara or Endeem Mara Resort
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Day 7: Maasai Mara to Northern Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Follow the Migration Landscape

Today, cross from Kenya into Tanzania and continue towards Northern Serengeti National Park. This is a substantial cross-border journey, and travel time depends on the chosen route, immigration procedures, road conditions, and wildlife-viewing stops.

The Northern Serengeti is particularly important during periods when migrating herds move through the Mara River region. Its open plains, rocky outcrops, and riverine habitats provide opportunities to observe wildlife in a different part of the wider Serengeti ecosystem.

Arrival at Your Tented Camp

After reaching the Northern Serengeti, settle into Mara Mara Tented Lodge or Acacia Migration Camp. Tented safari accommodation provides a close connection with the natural surroundings while offering a comfortable base for game drives.

Depending on the property, you may enjoy views of the landscape, a campfire gathering, or conversations with staff about local wildlife and community traditions. Specific cultural activities should be confirmed before arrival.

The Kenya Tanzania Uganda Rwanda 15-Day Safari now continues into Tanzania’s celebrated wilderness, where wildlife movements and seasonal conditions shape each day’s experience.

Accommodation: Mara Mara Tented Lodge or Acacia Migration Camp
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Masai Mara National Reserve

Day 8: Northern Serengeti Safari and Maasai Cultural Experience

Explore the Mara River Region

Spend a full day exploring Northern Serengeti National Park through guided game drives. The Mara River and surrounding grasslands attract wildlife, particularly during periods when migrating herds move through the area.

You may encounter wildebeests, zebras, elephants, giraffes, lions, and other species. River crossings are possible during suitable migration conditions, but their timing and location remain unpredictable. Your guide will choose appropriate viewing areas according to wildlife movements and park regulations.

Optional Hot Air Balloon Safari

An optional Hot Air Balloon Ride may provide a spectacular aerial perspective of the Serengeti. Early morning light highlights the landscape’s rivers, plains, and rocky formations, while wildlife may appear below. Confirm the operator, price, availability, and any included breakfast before booking.

Visit a Maasai Boma

The planned Maasai boma visit offers an opportunity to learn about local cultural traditions and community life. Depending on the host community, you may experience traditional architecture, beadwork, music, dance, and insights into pastoral livelihoods.

A respectful visit should support local hosts and recognize that Maasai communities have diverse contemporary lives as well as longstanding cultural traditions.

Accommodation: Mara Mara Tented Lodge or Acacia Migration Camp
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Day 9: Northern Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Scenic Wildlife Drive

After breakfast, travel towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The journey provides further opportunities for wildlife viewing, depending on the route, time available, and park regulations.

As you leave the Northern Serengeti, the scenery gradually changes across open plains and rolling landscapes. The wider region supports an impressive variety of wildlife, and your guide can help identify animals encountered along the way.

Arrive in the Ngorongoro Highlands

Upon arrival, check into Kitela Lodge or Ngorongoro Neptune. The surrounding highlands offer a cooler atmosphere than the open savannah, with scenic views and opportunities to appreciate Tanzania’s distinctive landscapes.

Depending on your lodge’s facilities and community partnerships, you may have opportunities to learn about local food, farming, or cultural traditions. Confirm any additional activities directly with your safari operator.

Accommodation: Kitela Lodge or Ngorongoro Neptune
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Day 10: Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Crater Rim Hike

Discover the Ngorongoro Crater

Spend the day exploring the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, including a guided game drive into Ngorongoro Crater according to the confirmed itinerary and park regulations.

The crater’s grasslands, woodland, wetlands, and water sources support a rich variety of wildlife. Possible sightings include lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, and several antelope species. The area also provides opportunities to look for black rhinoceroses, although sightings are never guaranteed.

The crater’s distinctive landscape makes it one of Tanzania’s most memorable wildlife destinations. Your guide will help you understand the relationship between the crater’s habitats and the animals that depend on them.

Walk towards the Crater Rim

The itinerary includes a hike towards the crater rim. Confirm the approved route, guide arrangements, physical requirements, and any additional fees before travel, as access depends on local rules and conditions.

After the day’s activities, return to your lodge for dinner and relaxation.

Accommodation: Kitela Lodge or Ngorongoro Neptune
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Day 11: Kilimanjaro Airport to Kigali, Rwanda

Fly to Rwanda

After breakfast, transfer towards Kilimanjaro International Airport for your scheduled afternoon flight to Kigali International Airport in Rwanda. Allow sufficient time for the road transfer, airport check-in, and security procedures.

Upon arrival in Kigali, meet your representative and transfer to Chez Lando Hotel or Hotel des Mille Collines.

Discover Rwanda’s Warm Hospitality

Depending on your arrival time, relax at the hotel or enjoy a quiet evening. Kigali offers a blend of modern urban life, local markets, contemporary art, and important historical sites.

Use the evening to prepare for the journey to Bwindi the following day. Keep your passport and any required cross-border travel documents accessible, and confirm the departure time with your guide.

Accommodation: Chez Lando Hotel or Hotel des Mille Collines
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Day 12: Kigali City Tour and Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Kigali’s History and Culture

Begin with a half-day Kigali city tour, subject to your schedule. A visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial provides important historical context about the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and Rwanda’s continuing journey of remembrance and reconciliation.

Depending on the agreed programme, you may also visit an art gallery or local market to explore Rwandan creativity, crafts, and contemporary culture.

Journey to Uganda’s Gorilla Country

After the city tour, travel by road towards Bwindi Impenetrable National Park’s Rushaga sector in Uganda. The journey involves a border crossing, so allow time for immigration procedures and road conditions.

Because a Kigali city tour followed by the drive to Rushaga makes for a demanding day, confirm the schedule carefully. Depending on your flight arrival time, traffic, and border arrangements, a reduced city tour or an overnight stop may be more practical.

Upon arrival, settle into your lodge and prepare for mountain gorilla trekking.

Accommodation: Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge or Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Day 13: Mountain Gorilla Trekking and Batwa Cultural Experience

Meet Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi

After an early breakfast, proceed to the relevant briefing point for mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park’s Rushaga sector. Trained guides and trackers will lead you through the forest in search of an assigned habituated gorilla group.

The trek may take several hours, depending on the gorillas’ location, terrain, and forest conditions. Trails can be steep, muddy, and slippery, so sturdy hiking boots and a waterproof jacket are essential.

Once you find the gorillas, follow the rangers’ instructions, maintain the required distance, and avoid touching or feeding the animals. Watching a gorilla family feed, groom, and interact within its forest habitat can become a defining memory of the Kenya Tanzania Uganda Rwanda 15-Day Safari.

Learn About Batwa Heritage

In the afternoon, enjoy a Batwa cultural experience through a community-led visit near Bwindi. Depending on the programme, activities may include traditional music, storytelling, dance, and demonstrations of forest knowledge.

Choose experiences that respect Batwa perspectives and support community participation. Ask permission before taking photographs and follow your hosts’ guidance throughout the visit.

Accommodation: Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge or Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Day 14: Bwindi to Volcanoes National Park and Cultural Discovery

Travel to Rwanda’s Volcanoes Region

After breakfast, cross from Uganda into Rwanda and continue towards Volcanoes National Park near Musanze. The route and border crossing depend on your lodge location and confirmed transport arrangements.

The Virunga region features dramatic volcanic peaks, cultivated hillsides, and forest habitats that support endangered mountain gorillas and golden monkeys.

Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund Visit

Visit the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund facility, subject to opening hours and advance arrangements. The organization’s conservation work focuses on mountain gorillas, scientific research, community engagement, and protecting the ecosystems on which wildlife depends.

This visit can provide valuable context for understanding the long-term work behind primate conservation and the role of local communities in protecting natural habitats.

Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village

Continue to Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village for a community-based cultural experience. Depending on the programme, visitors may enjoy traditional music, dance, crafts, storytelling, and introductions to Rwandan cultural practices.

Community tourism offers an opportunity to learn from local hosts while supporting livelihoods. Respect local customs and confirm the specific activities included in your visit.

Accommodation: Da Vinci Gorilla Lodge or La Palme Hotel
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Drinking Water

Day 15: Golden Monkey Tracking and Departure from Kigali

Track Golden Monkeys in Volcanoes National Park

Begin the day with golden monkey tracking in Volcanoes National Park. After a park briefing, follow experienced guides into the bamboo forest in search of these energetic primates.

Golden monkeys are known for their distinctive golden-orange markings and lively social behaviour. You may see them feeding, leaping through vegetation, or moving between bamboo stems. The walk provides excellent opportunities for wildlife observation and photography, although sightings and trail conditions vary.

Transfer to Kigali International Airport

After the trek, return to your lodge or meeting point, collect your luggage, and begin the transfer to Kigali International Airport for your departure flight.

Because golden monkey tracking and the airport transfer take place on the same day, confirm your flight departure time before booking. An early flight may require an alternative schedule or an additional overnight stay.

The Kenya Tanzania Uganda Rwanda 15-Day Safari concludes with a remarkable collection of wildlife encounters, landscapes, and cultural experiences across four East African countries.

Accommodation: None; the safari ends with your departure from Kigali International Airport
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, & Drinking Water

Best Time to Book the Kenya Tanzania Uganda Rwanda 15-Day Safari

Great Wildlife Migration Season

Travellers hoping to see the Great Wildlife Migration often plan around the seasonal movements of wildebeests and zebras through the Maasai Mara and Northern Serengeti. However, rainfall and grazing conditions influence the herds’ movements, so exact crossing dates cannot be guaranteed.

Gorilla and Golden Monkey Trekking

Gorilla trekking in Bwindi and golden monkey tracking in Volcanoes National Park operate subject to permit availability and park regulations. Reserve permits early, especially during popular travel periods, and prepare for potentially wet forest trails.

Practical Cross-Border Planning

This itinerary involves several long road journeys and flights. Confirm the route, border crossing, domestic and international flight arrangements, baggage allowances, and departure times well before travel.

What to Pack for the Kenya Tanzania Uganda Rwanda 15-Day Safari

Pack lightweight, neutral-coloured clothing for game drives, along with sturdy hiking boots, a waterproof jacket, long trousers, gardening-style gloves for forest trekking, a sun hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and binoculars.

A camera with a suitable zoom lens can help capture wildlife without approaching animals too closely. Carry personal medication, travel documents, and a small daypack for trekking essentials.

Because the journey includes different climates and several border crossings, keep your passport, visas where applicable, travel insurance details, and booking documents organized throughout the trip.

Responsible Tourism Across East Africa

Responsible travel helps protect wildlife and supports the communities who share these landscapes. During game drives, follow your guide’s instructions, avoid disturbing animals, and respect park rules.

When tracking gorillas and golden monkeys, maintain the required distance and follow all ranger guidance. During cultural visits, ask permission before taking photographs and support community-led experiences that respect local traditions.

The Kenya Tanzania Uganda Rwanda 15-Day Safari offers an opportunity to explore East Africa while learning about conservation, cultural diversity, and the importance of protecting natural habitats for future generations.

A reliable and professional tour operator for an unforgettable gorilla trekking experience We recently booked a 3-day gorilla trekking experience with Deks Safari’s from Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and we would highly recommend this company. With so many tour operators to choose from, Deks Safari’s truly stands out through their personal approach, excellent communication, and professional organisation. From our very first contact, Samuel was easily reachable by email and WhatsApp. He responded quickly to our questions, provided clear information, and made sure that everything was arranged perfectly. Deks Safari’s organised all the important details, including transfers, gorilla permits, and additional experiences such as a visit to a local community and a beautiful boat trip on Lake Bunyonyi. Thanks to their excellent preparation, we could fully enjoy our trip without having to worry about the practical arrangements. Our driver and guide was also excellent. They spoke good English, was professional, friendly, and always willing to help whenever needed. We are satisfied with the service provided by Deks Safari’s and would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a gorilla trekking adventure in Uganda. A trustworthy local tour operator that truly cares about creating a memorable and worry-free experience for its guests.

Amasing 23 day africa safari holiday Amazing 23 days in Africa with Deks Tours We planned a family safari in africa connecting from uganda to rwanda, kenya, victoria falls, and botswana game drives in chobe with Deks tours. what i can tell you is, the whole trip was exceptional. Samuel our tour guide was so engaging and helping, he was so swift at replies to each question we asked. and from the time we started planning the trip, samuel helped us so much to plan the best itinerary of all time. meaning our guides in different countries, they were all detailed at guiding. Jame in Uganda took us to chimpanzee tracking and gorilla trekking in bwindi forest, wooow it was amasing and physical. Don Sailor in Kenya was equally exceptional on our game drives in Masai mara reserve and lake nakuru. we witnessed the great migration at mara river, it was amasing seeing millions of animals crossing the river. we continued to Victoria falls in Zaimbabwe for another another, the boat cruise, nature walk at the vic falls, and the helicopter experience was a different experience. I assure you we visited all the four highlights of africa as Samuel promised. Lionel on the other side of Botswana took us to chobe for game drives and boat cruise and later drove to Okavango delta for the mokoro experience, this was another experience beyond expectation. the whole team at deks safaris and tours is engaging and really exceptional in planning africa trips. Thanks Samuel, Thanks to all the Guides who made the whole experience amasing, we really look forward to visiting again. Thanks

Exceptional Experience in Uganda Exceptional Experience in Uganda I planned a safari to see the gorillas and chimps in Uganda on our 7 days trip with my wife Rinah, but all was amazing. Samuel our planner was so quick at answering questions, and he arranged the whole trip from the time we landed at entebbe airport to trekking the chimpanzees and gorillas, he was so helping. we added on a day in queen elizabeth for game drives and boat cruise on kazinga channel, after chimpanzee trekking, our guide Jamal was so detailed in everything and he was helping. We highly recommend deks africa safaris and tours for travelers planning to visit uganda and or East Africa as a whole. Thank you samuel and Jamal for the great experience.

Awesome chimpanzee & gorilla habituation experience with Deks Africa Safaris & Tours! I organized my entire trip to Uganda to see chimpanzees and gorillas with Deks Africa and am very pleased with their service and professionalism. After numerous conversations with Samuel at Deks Africa, it seems they are a medium-sized travel agency based in Kampala operating around different African countries. My guide and driver for the trip - Jamal - promptly picked me up from Entebbe airport for our weeklong trip together. Deks Africa arranged for me to go on a chimpanzee trek in Kibale National Park and also a gorilla trek with mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Both were absolutely fantastic experiences, truly nice in a lifetime moment! The hotel & lodge accommodations that were selected by Deks Africa were spectacular and quite luxurious. And Jamal turned out to not only be a fantastic guide & driver, but he is also highly ethical and very caring, which I really appreciated. For example, we had the opportunity to visit the Batwa (Pigmy) village & community near Bwindi, and Jamal suggested that instead of bringing money or toys that we meet with a 90-yr old elderly member of the Batwa community and bring her a weeks’ worth of groceries and food. The elderly woman was so appreciative and happy, you could tell the visit and groceries made her day special, and this was Jamal’s idea - that’s how ethical and thoughtful that he is. Having Jamal as the guide for my trip to Uganda was almost as special as visiting the chimpanzees and mountain gorillas. When I return to Uganda, I will definitely book with Deks Africa again and ask if Jamal is available as a guide - thank you so much for the unforgettable experiences and memories Deks Africa & Jamal!

Amazing 7 days trip to Victoria falls Zimbabwe and chobe Botswana trip Exceptional service by deks tours I and my friends booked a 7 day trip to Victoria falls and chobe national Park in Botswana but I can gladly say that these guys are authentic. From the time I started planning to the time I visited, the whole process was seamless. We saw the Victoria falls from stage one to last one and to the bridge, it's really amazing. The game drives in chobe park were so good we saw lions on a hunt, different t heads of elephants and more. Our guide tawana was detailed in everything and I look forward to visiting again hopefully to see gorillas in Uganda through deks tours. I can recommend you to anyone who plans a trip to Africa because of your authenticity. Thanks deks tours, thanks Samuel who made everything too easy for us. he made sure that the money we paid was really put into use.

Great experience with a local company Overall we had a great experience. When we were searching out tour companies Deks came up and when compared to all the other ones the price was comparable. We emailed about an itinerary based on our cost, timing and what we really wanted to accomplish and they responded quickly with the information. We decided to support a local company for this trip. We emailed questions before the trip and they were very quick with responses and information. On site the contracted guides/drivers were very good at letting us know what was going to be the activities for the day and next day. The accommodations booked were great and the hotels were very accommodating with any allergies and food preferences. The safari experience were great, we also did Gorilla, chimpanzee and Golden monkey trekking which the company arranged for us. We had jsut booked myself and a friend so it was great we were the only ones in the vehicles. They also arranged local experiences to learn about the culture, people and industries they have. It was an Amazing trip! Only bad thing which they cannot control is the roads are rough. The drivers did their best to navigate the pot holes and bumps and did warn us in advance that the roads were poor.

Gino

Save research time, just book these guys now Dek's Safari was an amazing choice to accommodate our two-person last-minute gorilla and golden monkey New Years treks. The communication to arrange all logistics were extremely professional and responsive. Our accomodations were spectacular. Our driver and guide Dalson was entertaining, knowledgeable, reliable, and handled everything the jungle threw at us. If you're considering multiple tour groups, I'm more than delighted with Dek's so you should just book with them now.

Amazing 14-day holiday experience in Uganda - Highly recommend! Thinking of exceptional, 14 day Uganda trip is beyond compare especially with a reputable company deks tours. We planned a wildlife, chimps and gorilla trekking trip with Samuel in August, and he made sure we had the best experience in the wild. From the time of booking to the time of meeting with our guide Jamal and to doing all the activities, the whole team was engaging and helping. Our trip started with shoebill tracking in Mabamba swamp where we took a canoe. We went to jinja for water rafting on the nile it was really amazing. Proceeding to Murchison falls national park with rhino tracking in ziwa sanctuary. A boat cruise on the Victoria nile was just another thing. The trip extended to kibale forest for chimpanzee tracking and bigodi walk, engaging with the community in bigodi made us feel home. And queen Elizabeth game drives, w spoted a number of lions and the tree climbing lions and a boat cruise on kazinga channel was really fun. The highlight of it all was the encounter face to face with the mountain gorillas in Bwindi forest, these mountain giants made us yearn for more trips in Uganda. A rlaxation at lake bunyonyi was amazing. The whole trip was really arranged well to the maximum and we are to plan another trip with you Samuel and we shall always ask for Jamal as our guide. Thank you so much

10 Days of Pure Ugandan Magic Experience From Rhinos to Gorillas, and Every Heartfelt Moment in Between From the very first sunrise to the last golden sunset, our 10-day Ugandan safari felt like stepping into a dream — a vivid, living story that unfolded across five incredible national parks. It wasn’t just a trip; it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that touched our hearts in ways words can hardly describe. My husband and I had chosen Uganda for our honeymoon, and from the moment we met our guide Jamal from Deks Safaris & Tours, we knew we were in the hands of someone special. What followed was ten days of pure wonder, connection, and unforgettable adventure. Our journey took us through Murchison Falls, Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and Lake Mburo — each destination revealing a new side of Uganda’s soul. The landscapes shifted from rolling savannahs to misty rainforests, each teeming with life and beauty beyond imagination. Everywhere we went, we were welcomed with warm smiles and genuine kindness. Uganda isn’t just beautiful — it feels alive, like the land itself breathes a quiet magic. Our adventure began at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, a place where hope and protection walk hand in hand. Standing just a few meters away from a small herd — seven majestic rhinos, including a playful calf — we could feel the heartbeat of conservation at work. The rangers’ devotion was deeply moving; their gentle whispers, cautious steps, and passionate explanations revealed just how much love and courage go into protecting these endangered creatures. It wasn’t simply an encounter; it was a moment of quiet reverence — a reminder that humans and nature can coexist in harmony when care leads the way. Then came Murchison Falls, and with it, awe in its purest form. Watching the mighty Nile squeeze through a narrow gorge before crashing into the depths below was mesmerizing — raw power and beauty intertwined. At sunset, the falls turned to gold, painting the riverbanks with a warm glow that felt almost sacred. The next day’s boat safari offered a different rhythm of life: hippos lounging in the shallows, buffalo grazing by the water’s edge, and crocodiles basking in the sun. Nature’s orchestra played softly around us — every sound, every ripple, a note in the grand symphony of the wild. Trekking through Kibale Forest in search of chimpanzees was like stepping into another world — alive with rustling leaves, echoing calls, and the occasional burst of laughter from above. It took patience, but the reward was beyond anything we imagined. We found ourselves just a meter away from a calm male chimp, reclining on the forest floor, hands folded behind his head as though posing for the perfect photograph. Around him, others groomed, played, and wandered in their natural grace. It was a tender moment — unfiltered, peaceful, and profoundly human in its familiarity. To be so close, to see their intelligence and emotion reflected back at us, was an experience that lingers in the soul. And then came the moment we had dreamed of for years — the gorilla trek in Bwindi. No words can truly capture the feeling of standing just a few meters from a family of 11 mountain gorillas, watching three playful babies tumble through the vines under their mother’s watchful gaze. The silverback’s deep grunts filled the forest, yet there was no fear — only respect. The rangers guided us gently, their calm confidence mirroring the deep trust they share with these majestic beings. The trek itself was surprisingly manageable — about 30 minutes down the mountain to where the gorillas were feeding. As they moved, we followed quietly, hearts pounding with every step. The forest was alive with light and mist, the air heavy with the scent of earth and rain. Our group was wonderful, offering helping hands when the climb got steep, especially to one older lady who never stopped smiling despite the challenge. That day, we didn’t just witness wildlife — we shared a moment of life itself, raw and unfiltered. From the misty jungles of Bwindi, we journeyed to the open plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park — a world of golden grasslands, shimmering lakes, and abundant wildlife. It was here we saw two elegant leopards, each a fleeting shadow of beauty slipping through the bush, and later, two majestic tree-climbing lions lounging lazily in the branches of Ishasha’s fig trees. Those sights felt like pure privilege — as though the wilderness had chosen to reveal its secrets just for us. Every drive brought new wonders: herds of elephants crossing the tracks in quiet procession, towers of giraffes silhouetted against the horizon, and the graceful kob moving through the savannah. Uganda’s diversity was astounding — each moment unique, every encounter brimming with life. Our final stop, Lake Mburo National Park, offered a peaceful ending to our journey — a perfect balance of tranquility and gentle adventure. The park’s rolling hills, mirrored lakes, and wandering zebras felt like a soft farewell from the land we had come to love. Here, time slowed, allowing us to absorb everything we had seen and felt over the past ten days. Heartfelt Hospitality – Stays that Felt Like Home Throughout our safari, every lodge we stayed at welcomed us not as guests but as friends. The touches for our honeymoon were thoughtful and heartwarming — flower petals, smiles, and quiet gestures that made every night special. But the highlight of all was our stay at Elephant Hab. Barbara and her team treated us like family, their warmth and care leaving a lasting imprint on our hearts. It wasn’t just service — it was genuine kindness, the kind that makes you feel truly seen and appreciated. We even wrote a separate review for them because they so deeply deserved it. And then there was Jamal — our guide, our guardian, and the person who made this adventure seamless. His calm presence, deep knowledge, and unfailing kindness elevated every moment. Even when we had a tyre issue early in the trip, he handled it effortlessly, ensuring we stayed comfortable and safe. What touched us most was his thoughtfulness — on our final day, he surprised us with one of my photos, printed and block-mounted as a honeymoon gift. That small gesture spoke volumes about who he is — caring, humble, and passionate about what he does. Traveling with him felt like journeying with a friend who truly loves his country. Having traveled through seven African countries, Uganda stands apart — the safest, warmest, and most welcoming of them all. Its beauty isn’t only in its landscapes or wildlife but in its people. Every village we passed was filled with laughter and life; children ran to the roadside waving as we drove by, and strangers stopped to help when we had car trouble, offering tools and smiles without hesitation. There’s a sense of community here — an unspoken bond that connects everyone, locals and visitors alike. Uganda has a heartbeat — steady, strong, and full of joy. It’s a land that embraces you, surprises you, and gently changes you. We came for the gorillas, but we left with so much more: gratitude, connection, and memories we will cherish for a lifetime. Our 10-day honeymoon safari with Deks Safaris & Tours wasn’t just a vacation — it was a story of love, adventure, and discovery written across the heart of Africa. Every moment felt thoughtfully curated, every destination brimming with wonder. We left Uganda with full hearts, endless appreciation, and a deep promise to return one day. Uganda truly is the Pearl of Africa, radiant, soulful, and unforgettable.

Perfect 12 Day Tanzania Uganda Safari with Deks Tours I and my husband Winton booked a 12 day trip to Africa with deks safaris and tours in September but to our surprise all the trip was beyond compare. We first undermined the company because it had few reviews and given it was new, but their service is too professional, authentic and perfect. From the time we started talking to Samuel about the trip to the time of booking the trip, he was really engaging and helping all through the process. And when we landed at Kilimanjaro airport in Tanzania, we met with him in person well presented as a company. Our guide Emma gave us an exceptional 7 day experience in Tanzania, game drives in Serengeti, we spotted a number of cuts, the wildebeests, and a series of other animals. And proceeding to Uganda, where we met our guide Jamal, he made the gorilla trekking and chimpanzee tracking experience far beyond compare. Face to face with the mountain gorillas in Bwindi forest made us to demand for another trip in Uganda. We really look forward to plan another trip with you guys. And we are to recommend you to any of our friends planning a trip to Africa. Thanks Samuel, Emma, Jamal and the whole Deks Safaris team. From Winton and Ketra
