Design your own Safari in Uganda:
Being part of designing your own safari in Uganda increases the anticipation of your time in Uganda – we take your input and handcraft it into the African Dream Safari that you wish for.

Kabiza Wilderness does not do scheduled group safaris, but only private safaris and that begins with one and the largest private Group we have ever taken on a safari was 32 in number. There are some major differences between a group and private safari…the biggest difference is that with a private safari it is you who chooses and not some set itinerary – you are in control of what you would like to do and see in Uganda and no one else.
Safari Lodging Tips and Advice in Uganda:
If you look at many itineraries on-line and if you checked lodging facilities that were selected for you, the quality would often be what I would call abysmal, even when it comes to budget facilities we only use better budget facilities that in most cases they have self-contained rooms. Lodging is an important aspect of your safari in Uganda and we do not take it lightly. If our clients complain about a lodging accommodation facility – our response – it goes off our list and we remove our recommendation of it from our website. We feel that if you are staying in a substandard accommodation it takes away from your overall safari experience in Uganda.
You can always find a driver in Uganda – the need is for a driver that is also a tour guide. At Kabiza Wilderness Safaris we handpick the tour guides based on their past experience and also we use the feedback from our clients. Customer service and satisfaction is foremost on the minds of our guides who will go beyond the expected norm to make your safari in Uganda a success.

Why a Tented Camp Safari in Uganda:
Why should a person consider a tented camp safari in Uganda? There is a sense of authentic Africa about a Tented Safari – there is the nostalgia, but certainly with the tented camps of old there are none with the associated discomforts from days gone by…Tented camps in Uganda come in Luxury – Moderate and Budget variety, but most are up-market or moderate in price – it is however the experience to be in a tent in the African Bush. (Most Tents are self-contained)
