Get to know Kampala in a day!

Caitlin_W, Feb 2023

This experience was amazing! Mathew was such a patient and informative host. His excitement toward Ugandan history, culture, etc. is evident; he is bursting with energy and knowledge. I didn’t study Ugandan history well prior to my trip to Kampala, and after this experience I feel like I have a good understanding and an interest in learning more.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Dear Caitlin, We would like to thank you for choosing Gazelle Safari Company and we are glad that our services not only met but exceeded your expectations.

Kampala Driving Tour

Zoey_P, Jun 2022

I took this tour on my own after arriving in Kampala, and it was a great way to explore the city. I learned a lot about the history and culture, and I had a great experience! My tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was by car and very comfortable, it was on time, and it was very easy to arrange/schedule.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Zoey, Thank you for choosing Gazelle Safari Company for your Kampala City tour and thank you for taking time to write this amazing review. Your Guide Mathew enjoyed showing you around and said you were a lovely client!
