We booked a 3-day safari to Murchison Falls National Park with Kubwa Five Safaris, traveling from Koboko in the West Nile region rather than the usual Kampala route, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication: Mustafa (and the rest) were/was responsive and helpful over WhatsApp from our very first inquiry. He patiently answered all our questions about arranging the safari from an unconventional starting point (Koboko instead of Kampala), adjusted the itinerary to fit our route via the northern gate, and arranged pickup from Pakwach without any hassle. Follow-up questions about timing and logistics were always answered clearly and quickly. Service & Reliability: Everything that was promised was delivered as agreed. The pickup arrangements worked smoothly, and communication remained consistent throughout the planning process, which gave us confidence booking from abroad/remotely. The tour itself: Our guide was excellent and highly knowledgeable, clearly experienced with the park, the wildlife, and the best times/spots for sightings. The accommodation was very good and added a lot to the overall experience. Only bad/Unlucky thing was that we couldnt see a léopard fully. Value for money: Considering the quality of the guide, the smooth logistics, and the overall experience, we felt it was well worth the price. Overall, we would absolutely recommend Kubwa Five Safaris to other travelers, especially if you're looking for a team that's flexible enough to accommodate a non-standard route or itinerary.

Karuma Falls are greatly considered as one of the key tourism attraction due to the fact that is it is strategically located at the base of the Victoria Albertine and it became famous when the first explorer called John Speke passed through Karuma falls when he was trying to tress the source of the river Nile which is the longest river in the world flowing southwards in Sudan.
Day 2

After an early breakfast, set off with packed lunch for a morning game drive on the Northern Delta Nile. Lions, buffalos, waterbucks, Jackson’s hartebeest, Rothschild’s giraffe, oribi, and baboons are some of the animals to expect. Other activities in this game drive include bird watching, and sightseeing across the open savannah dotted woodland and riverine vegetation along the Nile and Albert delta. After the game drive, you will embark (between 2 and 5pm) on a three hour boat cruise on the Nile. This boat cruise offers an amazing view of the falls from the bottom angle. Hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, and aquatic birds can be seen along the shores of the river. You will hike from the bottom of the falls to the top of Murchison Falls where the Nile forces its way through a gorge in the rocks and tumbles 43m below flowing westwards into Lake Albert. We will then check into your hotel. Dinner and overnight stay at Parkside Safari Lodge.
The mighty River Nile flows through the park creating a powerful phenomenon at the Kabalega Falls. Enjoy the views of these magnificent falls where the Nile forces its way through a gorge in the rocks and tumbles 43m below flowing westwards into Lake Albert.
Day 3

After your breakfast, you embark on our journey back to Kampala. You will arrive in Kampala in the late afternoon for a transfer to Entebbe for your return flight home.
Kampala was famously built on seven hills. Today’s capital of Uganda now sprawls haphazardly over more than 20 hills and is still expanding rapidly. Kampala is dotted with colorful markets, including the frenetic Nakasero Market at the foot of Nakasero Hill, which sells fresh produce from eggs and chickens, to fish, halal meats, and all kinds of vivid vegetables, tubers, and fruit. Also try Kampala’s legendary Rolex – not a Swiss timepiece, but a popular street food combining an egg omelet and vegetables wrapped in a chapatti (flat, round bread made without yeast). A little further west, Owino Market sells all manner of goods from food and spices to pots, pans, and secondhand clothes. For typical Ugandan souvenirs such as wood carvings, woven barkcloth mats and pots, decorated gourds, musical instruments, leather and sisal (a strong white fiber) baskets and textiles, head to the Uganda Arts & Crafts Village behind the National Theatre on Buganda Road.

Our safari with Kubwa Five Safaris was truly incredible! From the start, their communication was excellent, ensuring a smooth and well-planned trip. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making every game drive exciting. We saw breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife, including the "Big Five." The accommodations were comfortable, and the service was top-notch. Every detail was well-organized, and we felt completely taken care of. The boat safari and cultural visits added a unique touch to the adventure. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic African safari!
I booked the 3 days tour to Murchision Falls National Park. It was definitely a breathtaking journey. Joel was not only a professional guide but treat me as a friend. I really had a great time in Uganda. The safaris was amazing and top of Murchision falls was breathtaking. Boat cruise was definitely a must in Uganda. I saw a lot of wild animals. Thanks to Kubwa Five Safaris for arranging such an amazing tour
Our trip was truly an incredible experience for our family, that we will never forget. All of our needs were catered for and we got to see and experience everything we wanted to. We had many highlights on our journey including the visit to the Rhino Sanctuary and the boat ride along the Nile. Overall a memorable and enjoyable 3 days.
We had a fantastic time. The team from kubwa were extremely professional and really kind and caring. All the activities were on time but they were also flexible depending on our needs. The sights were breathtaking, they ensured that we saw all we needed to see and took plenty of pictures. What a perfect way to kick off my year. My only regret was that we didn't book more days 😂. Thank you for a lovely experience, Kubwa safaris .
Entering the van and listening to Afrobeats was a great first impression. I confirmed that we made the right choice and that what was to come would be unforgettable thanks to an excellent guide named Silas. Always caring for us and answering our many curious questions, we immersed ourselves in nature and were able to observe and adore elephants, buffalos, giraffes, rhinos, hippos and a wide variety of birds among other animals. We also visited the Murchison Falls, a breathtaking place and take a boat trip on the river Nile. In short, a wonderful few days to discover, connect, find peace and tranquility. Very grateful for the great service provided by the human team of Kubwa Five Safaris.
Three days and we made memories that will last a lifetime—it’s hard to put into words the magic and excitement that define this wonderful trip. Our guide, Silas, was a gem of a gentleman, a fantastic driver, a knowledgeable and interesting guide who always knew how to answer our many questions. From day 1 we were in capable hands with one of the sweetest and kindest young men I have had the privilege to meet and spend time with. He went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we saw what we most wanted to see and tirelessly explained so much to us about the African wildlife, Ugandan culture, and so much more. We now feel we have a special friend in Uganda—Silas has a special place in our hearts! I can’t begin to express my gratitude for the excellent communication we had the entire time with the company and our guide. This is an organization that cares about the people they are working with, and I highly recommend them! Loved this trip so much!
The itinerary was well prepared before our safari, and everything listed there was delivered as promised. It was an ideal adventure, filled with stunning scenery, the Big 5, and nature unlike anything we would ever seen. The meals on our safari were great, and our guide was knowledgeable and helpful with our questions, in fact he never got tired of our questions. The rooms were pristine, and the bathrooms and showers were of excellent quality.
Kubwa Five Safaris gave us a fantastic tour guide who was very knowledgeable about animals. The several places which we visited were worth it, we enjoyed amazing scenery. The food was excellent, and the lodges had excellent customer care, meals were great. Thanks to Kubwa Five Safaris for making our vacation memorable.
I went on the 3-day safari in Murchison Falls National Park with Kubwa Safaris with two friends. It was an awesome experience for all of us. The vehicle had a pop-up roof, which I highly recommend for doing safaris. We had a morning game drive, evening game drive, visit to the Murchison Falls and a walk between the White Rhinos in the Ziwa Sanctuary. For us, that was the best way of spending our 3 spare days in Uganda. I can really recommend Murchison Falls NP because of its wide variety of animals!
Various cat species were observed such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Apart of the big cats, we also saw animals. The most unforgettable experience was seeing a leopard chase an antelope. The guide had a high level of enthusiasm and a willingness to accommodate our needs, ensuring that we had the most comprehensive safari experience available. He ensured our sense of safety for the entirety of the safari and accommodated our requests to stop the vehicle for the purpose of capturing photographs.
We spotted numerous lions and a leopard hunting during our game drives, which we would not have seen without a competent guide who knew where the animals were. Kubwa Five Safaris makes booking accommodations and activities straightforward. I would recommend this company because they have excellent guides with extensive knowledge of the national parks as well as comfortable lodging.
Peter, our extraordinary tour guide, surpassed our expectations! The lodges in which we lodged were also remarkable. Everywhere we visited, the food was delicious and the service was exceptional. We were able to see a diversity of animals up close and personal. It was an extraordinary adventure from beginning to end. Highly recommended.
Very exciting experience. We went as a family first through Ziwa Rhino sanctuary. It was great seeing and learning about these giant animals and their behaviors. We then moved north to Murchison Falls National Park, more fun along the way seeing all kind of kob, Buffalo, lions, giraffes, etc. Joseph was so knowledgeable about the animals, their habitats and manners. Did you know that male giraffes have three horns while the female has just two?
A distinctive adventure out in the wild with a great guide Mr. Karspert “ your one of a kind” Murchsion falls should be on everyone’s bucket list ✅ accommodation was exceptional for me and my group. They should be room for better accommodation arrangements to experience more of the wild nature eg, campings and the bot fire than sleeping at a hotel. ❤️🇺🇬❤️
The 3 days were full of enjoyment with a game drive, boat cruise, the guides were on point, seeing animals, The boat cruise was one of the thrilling experience. Very terrifying for first timers but enjoyable. Thank you Kubwa 5 Safaris for the experience given the next time chance I chose you.
This vacation was one memorable experience on can not easily forget. Tracking the Rhinos and seeing them close range. The marvel of the Murchison falls.(The strongest falls in the world) and seeing the lioness carry her hunt back home majestically were very intriguing moments. Thank you Kubwa Safaris for making this experience worthwhile for the Serunkuma's
It was awesome seeing the hippos and seeing the down side of fall was waaawuuu.The food was olso delicious .it was the trip of life coz I knew alot of things like gilaffe has three hearts
It was a memorable experience traveling with Kubwa Safaris. The hospitality was holistically the best. Thanks Joseph for being ethical and informed about people's diversity and for sure thanks a lot for the promotion of equality. The most interesting bit was during the early morning game ride, the lecture about the big 5 and their adaptive nature of life was really amazing. With One star budget, i got Five star experience.
It was such a nice experience seeing and touring the Murchison falls and park. With the game drive which started very in the morning, I got to see three female lions preparing to hunt, the savanna grassland elephants and giraffe. All to rap it up, the experience and treatment given by Kubwa tours was nice to us
The game park drive , awesome. The camp fire very jolly. The boat cruise to the end point of the falls was very exciting to view , enjoying the hippos mating was another awesome moment. The accomodation were confatable and clean, when it came to food it was a variety. Thnks kubwa5 safaris. Looking at touring with more and more. Joseph that tenderness strikes out hearts please keep it up.
It was such a revitalising trip for me and my workmates away from office.The morning and evening game drive with Joseph our expert tour guide from Kubwa five safaris which was so refreshing seeing a variety of animal spicies. The 3 hrs afternoon boat cruise to the falls wiped away the work stress seeing crocodiles, hippos and other animals that had come to quench their thirst. Food and accommodation was so superb with night camp fires where the team was able to bond. Thanks to Kubwa five star safaris for making this a remarkable trip to the team.
In a humble way, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the KUBWA Five Safaris company for the good and interesting services you rendered to us. Thanks alot.

Awesome customer service. Thanks so much Kubwa Five Safaris, I enjoyed the trip, but mostly I enjoyed the boat ride although I still wonder whether it was necessary to wear the protective jacket given there are hippos and crocodiles…Hahahaha, I am so happy I saw all the BIG Five on this trip. I am very impressed with the services offered by Kubwa Five Safaris. Keep it up, make more Ugandans see what we have in our country.

We booked 3 Days Murchison Falls Adventure Falls Adventure Wild Safari. With so many operators it was hard to know who to choose. This safari offered a personal family feel and are entirely a local business. We totally loved our experience. It was organised so well by Kubwa Five Safaris, the team kept in touch all the time, providing updates and information. Our guide was amazing. He gave us truly an unforgettable safari. Food and accommodation were spot on and completely suited our needs. We are already planning our next trip back.
Kubwa Five Safari did an amazing job in excellent planning, time keeping and competency. We got the best service and all what was agreed in the itinerary was received. The most important thing is the family feeling during the whole trip. Joseph our guide was so helpful and supportive. We had best game drives, birding and boat ride. All the guide's recommendations during these activities were excellent. The car's condition and cleanliness were excellent. The chosen accommodations were perfect, clean and very comfortable. All meals during trip was very nice. We greatly enjoyed African meals, and fruits such as sweet bananas, pineapples and jackfruit. The various meal options were available. I recommend Kubwa Five Safaris because we were not disappointed and service they offered were beyond our expectations. Thanks to Kubwa Five Safaris for making our stay in Uganda memorable.
Everything since the first contact was very clear and straight forward. Quick responses and very kind service. During the safari, everything was very well taken care of and my guide was just amazing. He did everything to make sure my experience was the best. The accommodations were just beautiful and comfortable and food was delicious. The hotel staff and service was always beyond amazing. All the activities and game drives were well organized. I saw animals that had never seen before. I would absolutely recommend this particular 3 Days Murchison Falls Adventure Wildlie Safari with Kubwa Five Safaris.
From the beginning of the booking process until the end of the safari in Uganda , the manager of this safari was very responsive and took great care if my individual requests.He accompagnied me during my trip from Entebbe Airport to Murchison Falls National Park. Joseph was an excellent guide . The Murchison Falls National Park experience was way well beyond my expectations - fantastic game drive and boat tour on the Nile. We saw various animals in the wild and birds that I had only seen on TV and wildlife documentaries only . The lodge had delicious meals, it also was a great basis for our excursions, it is located inside the park, we could see animals right through windows at night. I can fully recommend them to others who would want to make an excellent first hand experience of Uganda.
3 Days Murchison Falls Adventure Wild Safari arranged our safari in Uganda. Everything was impeccably planned and executed. Before and during the trip we always felt perfectly informed and well taken care of. During planning, Joseph was highly flexible and created an itinerary tailored to us. He was a great tour guide with knowledge about all animals and birds we encountered. He is also a very likable person and we felt very secure with him all the time. We especially valued his punctuality and high standards of professionalism. After the 3 days visit to Murchison Falls National Park, were taken to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for Gorilla trekking, and then transfered to Kibale National Park for Chimpanzees tracking, Kubwa Five Safaris organized permits for Gorilla and Chimpanzee visits so we didn't have to worry about this. The two activities in Bwindi and Kibale were out of this world. The hikes were a bit long but worth, you got to travel to Uganda and book with this company to have such great lifetime safari experience. Uganda is greatly gifted by nature, there is a lot to explore. Thanks again for the wonderful time and we can highly recommend going on a safari with this company.
We were wondering where should we go for our family trip in this year but finally decided to go to Uganda and that was the perfect decision we could ever make. We enjoyed the game drives and got the chance to see the African big five, scenic view of Murchison Falls, gigantic Lake Victoria and world class white water in the White Nile. One of the most amazing things we experienced was hiking from the bottom of the falls to the top. Thanks to our guides Steven and Fred for the well guided tour, both of you made our safari most memorable one. I believe Uganda has the best pineapples, I miss them, I how wish to have carried some of them with me...hahaha. Kubwa Five Safaris, you're the best tour and travel company in Uganda.
I enjoyed my 3 day expedition as a Vlogger with Kubwa five safaris. My favourite part of the trip was the boat cruise, because I wanted to see the falls. We had lots of fun and learned a ton and will always recommend Kubwa safaris anytime.
