  Robert - Murchison Falls
Thank you so much to Robert and the Oikos Safari team! Such a wonderful experience, the trip went smoother than I ever thought possible. Our accommodation and meals were wonderful, safe and smooth transportation to and from Murchison Falls, and our guide Robert made the journey entertaining and worth every moment. We had the pleasure of seeing all big 5 in one morning game drive as well as visiting Ziwa rhino sanctuary. Robert's customer service is professional, so friendly and unmatched, and was able to get us the best deal for a 2-day safari trip. Most extraordinary experience!

  Murchison Falls 2-day tour
Our experience with Oikos safari was nothing short then wonderful. We managed to see all of the big 5 with our tour guide Robert. He was patience and kind, and super knowledgeable about all the animals in the park. Finally he was a fast and safe driver transporting us from Kampala to the park.

  Good tour all in all
Good tour! Saw a lot of animals and had a nice time. Only recommendation I have is to ask specifically which lodges are included. Sometimes lodges were changed from the initery. Not a bad thing but got me surprised.

  AN EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE
If you are planning a trip to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda or Rwanda there is no better option than Oikos Safari. I had the pleasure to have Robert as my tourist guide and driver. He offers the best costumer service and the best prices. He knows the region to perfection and he also knows the local businesses to get the best deals. He was very professional and also very considerate with my budget, he adviced me to do the Gorilla trekking in Uganda instead of Rwanda since the permits were almost 1000usd cheaper, so we crossed the border. The car was in perfect condition, he was always on time. Thank you Oikos again for this amazing experience

  An extraordinary journey "There and Back Again".
Oikos Safaris' Robert Seruma combines experience, deep knowledge, a strong customer-focused attitude, and a commitment to safety that will assure you a memorable trip. We booked with Robert for a custom safari to the less-traveled northeastern corner of Uganda in order to visit remote Kidepo Valley National Park. Traveling the park tracks with a guide like Robert assures that a visitor will encounter the game that will be available to see through the eyes of a guide who knows the times and locations where the animals may be found. Furthermore, it was his recommendation that led us to choose less well-known Adere Safari Lodge where we were able to enjoy a savings for premium accommodations and a splendid ridge-top view out over the valley. Robert also offers a client the benefit of his relationships with first rate local cultural guides, who introduced us to the Karamajong and Sabinya peoples on separate day visits during our journey. Robert's keen powers of observation mean not only that he will find the antelope or the ostrich you may not see, but also that he will read the potholes, humps, and other hazards of Ugandan backcountry roads tens of meters ahead of time for an important margin of safety. And he is great company - another key virtue if one is going to be spending eight days together in a Land Cruiser.

  Fabulous Excursion!
A wonderful trip of my life, the guide Patrick was very knowledgeable from picking me up from the airport. Then proceeded to a 9 day safari trip. Florence was professional in making sure that I was comfortable and enjoying my stay. I highly recommend Oikos Safaris.

  Oikos Safari’s professionalism and seeing the big 5!
17 day safari in Uganda and Rwanda! This was the most amazing experience from start to finish! We were well looked after from the minute we started tweaking plans online- until our final day. Owners Robert and Flora looked after our every request, were professional and caring! When bargaining at the markets- we left this up to flora and Robert to do for us. All our meals, accomodation, day trips, entry fees, and random stops were taken care of! We were a little apprehensive visiting a foreign country in Africa- but once we were in Oikos Safari’s hands- we had nothing to fear at all! We loved each day, supported locally owned lodges at our request, locally owned markets, and enjoyed the best local foods ever! Trust me- If you want to experience all the best parts of an African Safari- you cannot chose anyone else than Oikos Safari’s! They pride themselves in getting the full experience of Africa, while supporting local communities and have their clients needs always at the forefront! We have already planned our next safari tour through them for next year! All budgets and interests personally detailed and catered for! You will not regret it!

  Florence planned my trip to Queen Elizabeth national park and it was so amazing.

I viewed the park  and monkeys and elephants right from the balcony of my cottage.

Viewing the sunrise and sunset was so adorable.
