Caring, fast responses, and worth it !
Airport pick up by Richard and we were off as I was a solo program. In the process of booking, all my questions were answered quickly and that helped me decide on using Katsam. Main goal - Mountain gorillas - 2 treks please. The lodges were all lovely. And the fun part - as low season - I was the only person in 2 / 3. And the service in all was excellent. Richard made sure I saw and did everything possible there was to do. None of this is inexpensive to do when you are solo, but I would do it again in a second. Thx Katsam and Samuel and Richard ...

Good communicator and value for money
We did a one day gorilla tracking tour in Bwindi. The communication was excellent and transport was reliable.

Amazing experience!
We had an amazing and unforgettable 2 days private safari trip to Murchison Fall Nationalpark. Samuel was great at organising the private trip for us as a couple as we booked with short notice. It is Ugadandan company so it was good to support the local business and staff.
The whole trip was amazing and both Richard, our guide, and Ronnie, our driver, were excellent staff who made us feel safe at all times and they were very friendly and took good care of us during the whole experience.
We highly recommend Katsam Adventures!

Absolutely recommendable
Katsam Adventures has proven to be a reliable organisation in every respect. Even in the case of unexpected events, a solution was always found. Both Samuel and Richard took care of their guests at all times. This - and of course the gorillas themselves - made the trip a really enjoyable experience. I would recommend Katsam at any time.
Fantastic Service and Amazing Experience
Samuel was quick to respond to any questions and make a trip plan that suited exactly what I wanted. Two days in Bwindi with a visit to Lake Bunyonyi. He was helpful with booking the tour and tailoring it to suit. The 5 day gorilla trek (2 gorilla treks) and 2 nights at Lake Bunyonyi was a once in a life time experience. despite some challenging weather conditions which made the roads bad, Richard my driver, made sure I made it safely for the gorillas (with some extra walking). The only thing to be clear on at the start is to make sure your driver and you are on the same page for expectation of the trip. I had an extra person from the company join my trip but I was never really sure why. Supposedly to help with accommodations and ensure service but I didnt see anything that qualified as that. Also make sure you take Ugandan Shillings to tip people and in case of similar road conditions pay for motorbike lifts or help with bogged cars.
Great communications and good value for money.

Incredible Experience, Just Keep Your Eyes Open
Samuel was very responsive to my initial inquiries and very helpful with booming the tour and navigating my malleable pickup plans. The 3 day gorilla trek with a night at Lake Bunyoni was a (wait for it) once in a life time experience and I was thrilled to have the incomparable Moses Medrad as my guide -- ask for him by name. With Moses I not only had a knowledgeable driver, I got to witness an upstanding member of his community take me around his home. The only thing to be wary of is is at the START of the journey make sure your guide and you are on the same page for expectation of itinerary -- the deal I had with Samuel was to drop me off in Kampala, but Moses was only told to take me to Kabale (a difference of about 9 hours). As fun as sitting in a car for an entire day after quibbling over a bill sounded, I just had Moses put me on a bus (which was its own safari!).

Gorilla Trek 3 days
I went with Katsam adventures for 3 days tour - Gorilla Trekking.
I have to say that I was very happy for choosing this agency.
My accommodation was superb, and transport to and back from gorillas went smoothly.
I have to especially mention Samuel, who was my driver/guide. He was very friendly and polite (we spend 2 days in the vehicle together). He was also very knowledgeable about the Ugandan way of life, culture, traditions, etc. So on the way to gorillas, I learned a lot! He is an excellent driver and an interesting person.
Of course, the gorilla experience in itself is magical.
Would highly recommend Katsam Adventures!

Fantastic!
I used Katsam Adventures for my gorilla trekking experience and it was amazing! Samuel went above and beyond for me the whole time. He drove me from Kampala to Bwindi, and he booked a lovely lodge in the forest for me for the night. The next day I went gorilla trekking and it was a fantastic experience. Samuel arranged accommodation for me on the Bunyonyi lake for the evening which was very nice. Lunch was included and Samuel made an effort to have lunch with me and talk to me about local food and culture.
I couldn’t recommend enough! Thanks Samuel :)
Amazing trip
These guys were great and very helpful when it came to customizing our trip and with pick up and delivery back to the airport including a Covid test on the way. Thank you.
