Experiencing the Power of Nature Murchison Falls Safari
5/5

The Experience of Three Days Our trip's high point was the Murchison Falls Safari. Ashadu welcomed us at the airport and led the journey with such passion. There were amazing views of crocodiles, hippos, and birds throughout the Nile boat tour. Sightings of giraffes, lions, and elephants made the game drives exciting. It will never be forgotten to stand close to the roaring falls and feel the water splashing over our faces. The well-selected lodges offered great views and friendly service. Karumuna Safaris made certain that we took in all of Uganda's breathtaking natural features.

The Best of Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Safari
5/5

We booked a 10-day Gorillas and Wildlife Safari with Karumuna Safaris, and it was a dream come true. The gorilla trek in Bwindi was a spiritual experience, while the game drives in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth were thrilling. The Kazinga Channel boat cruise offered stunning views of wildlife along the shores. Moses, our guide, was always attentive and eager to share insights. We also appreciated the chance to visit local villages, which gave us a glimpse into Uganda’s rich culture..

Exceptional Wildlife Encounters: Gorillas and Savanna..
5/5

Our 7-day Gorillas and Savanna Safari was a perfect mix of forest and plains adventures. Herbert was our guide, and his knowledge of the parks enriched our journey. From trekking in Bwindi to watching lions and leopards in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the safari was packed with excitement. The lodges offered breathtaking views, and the staff’s hospitality made us feel at home. This trip showcased Uganda’s incredible biodiversity and reaffirmed our love for African safaris.

Richard is a trustworthy person, friendly and well informed.

I hope you guys who are interested in traveling in Uganda find this review useful and won't make the same mistake as me and my friend did. In this review i will share the part of my experience with Karumuna Safaris and it's owner Richard who we believe is a fraud and a thief.

From the first moment i contacted Richard he was very fast in answering my mails and whatsapp messages,which i liked because that is how an agency should behave with clients. I applied for the journey inDecember and was supposed to arrive in Uganda in March!! It was like that until the moment I paid him the 50% down payment which he requested because he wanted to make sure the gorilla tracking permits are secured. The same story was with my friend who applied for the trip one month after me. The moment I paid him the money, no answers no mails, nothing! Every info I needed I had to wait 3 or 4 days for a response i called him and told him this is not professional. I asked him to make me another trip plan because i had less days in Uganda because of my ticket.

He sent me the plan 2 days before my trip and also found a guide for me and my friend day before our arrival. When we arrived and gave him the rest of the money the problems started. In the Lodge in Queen Elizabeth our guide approached us and told us thar Richard had an accident and hit the boda boda (motorcycle taxi) with his car and the motorcycle driver didn't survived so Richard was detained in prison. My friend and me were concerned but as the gorilla tracking was approaching i was starting to be suspicious about everything because Richard couldn't be reached on any phone and they apparently didn't know which prison he was detained and he was the only one who knew where the gorilla permits are. Our guides brother was searching for permits in his office and he was able to find only one permit. This one permit was paid on March 8th the day we arrived! And he told me in December to pay so he can secure the permit. At this point we knew that we were scammed! With the help of our guide Herbert we managed to pay for another permit 700usd because we came in Uganda specifically for the gorilla tracking. Richard was not answering any calls from our guide and the warden in the gorilla tracking office told us that he know Richard and that the chief of tourist operations in Uganda are awared that he scammed people before.

There was a lot more happening which I could write and if anyone is interested in hearing this can contact me.

This is not a fake profile, which he claims on other reviews of people that were also scammed and according to him want to damage KARUMUNA SAFARIS reputation. If you look the negative reviews it was never his fault!! . The ranger in Kibale national park told us that his driver by the name Dona went to Chimpanzee tracking with fake permits left the clients there and ran away with the car keys. If you don't want things like this to happen to you avoid Karumuna Safaris and Richard.

God sees everything, if Richard is really in prison he should stay there. But if he lied about hitting someone with his car in order to get 700usd speaks volumes about him as a person.

I tried to attach valuable photos (the payment of the permit,screenshots of our chats and more) but the site won't publish them, so if anyone needs to see them I can send them.
