Fantastic Gorilla and Golden monkey trip
5/5

Our guide Farouk made our trip so easy and enjoyable. All our requests and needs were provided with great care and attention. He was a great driver on quite difficult roads full of people walking and riding bikes. Jovia handled all the paperwork very efficiently.

An amazing ambassador of the Ugandan country and it’s people!
5/5

Our recent trip to Uganda was an adventure of a lifetime! From trekking to see the golden-backed monkeys in Volcanoes National Park, to the awe-inspiring experience of coming face to face with gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, every moment was filled with wonder. We also spent a serene day at Lake Bunyonyi, soaking in the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings.

A big part of what made this trip so special was the exceptional service provided by Kaara Adventures. They went above and beyond to customize our itinerary to meet our specific requests. Their responsiveness throughout the planning process and during the trip itself was impressive.

Our driver, Gerald, deserves a special mention. He was not just a driver, but a guide, storyteller, and a true ambassador of Ugandan culture. His knowledge of the country, its history, and the rich diversity of its people was invaluable. On top of that, his incredible sense of humor kept us laughing throughout the trip. By the end of our journey, we truly felt like part of his extended family.

For anyone considering a similar trip, a helpful tip is to bring American dollars in small denominations for tipping and purchases. Many places, especially in rural areas, don’t accept credit cards, so cash is essential.

Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend Kaara Adventures to anyone looking for an immersive and personalized Ugandan adventure!

The best experience
5/5

Our experience with Gerald, our guide, was amazing from start to finish. He was on time, knowledgeable, spoke perfect English and was accommodating to our needs at all times. We had a fantastic three day tour and everything was seamless from start to finish. Could not have asked for anything more for our first Africa experience

Kaara was the perfect choice for our trip to Uganda
5/5

Kaara was responsive and helpful from the very first booking inquiry. We had some of our own ideas, and worked with their suggestions, and we crafted the perfect itinerary for our trip. Do not hesitate to ask for their recommendations.

The tour was very well-priced. You have the option to scale up or down with regards to our accommodation quality.

Our guide was fantastic - we were safe and had a blast the entire time!

Excellent experience all around, 10/10
5/5

I recently completed a two day tour with Kaara Adventures — one day in Volcanoes NP in Rwanda to see the golden monkeys and the second day in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda to see the mountain gorillas. Farouk, our driver and guide, was incredibly kind and helpful and knowledgeable, making sure everything along the way was perfect. He offered to stop as much as we liked to take photographs along the drive and answered all of our questions about life in Rwanda and Uganda. Before our treks, he made sure we had all that we needed including water and packed lunches. If you can complete the tour with Farouk, I highly recommend this. Leading up to the trip, the staff at Karaa Adventures were extremely responsive via email and WhatsApp, so I never really had any doubts that I wasn’t in good hands. The gorilla trek in Bwindi easily ranks as one of my top favorite travel experiences to date. Grateful to Farouk and to Kaara Adventures for such a great experience. Strongly recommend.

Priceless experience!
5/5

I am very happy I booked my tour with Kaara Adventures.
The communication ahead of the tour was perfect, and arrangements were made on short notice.
Payment options were flexible to suit my preferred method.
On the day at the start of the tour driver/guide Gerald arrived timely to the accommodation in Kigali to pick me up.
The drive started towards the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda with stops for photos of the beautiful views.
Having walked into the park to spot the golden monkeys we set off towards the Ugandan border where the clearance and immigration process was smooth.
After having crossed into Uganda I was asked what type of lunch I preferred and we stopped at a local restaurant to eat typical Ugandan food.
Reaching Bwindi in the late afternoon the lodge that was arranged was perfect, comfortable rooms with wonderful beds, great food, and professional staff.
The second day we set off for the gorilla trekking which was a totally awesome experience! After relaxing and eating the packed lunch we started the drive back to Rwanda.
Gerald the guide/driver has a lot of knowledge and can share much information about the places we saw on the way, there was plenty of drinking water provided during the two days, and the driving style was safe and comfortable also on the dirt roads.
Can only recommend Kaara adventures, especially for the communication/information ahead of the tour, and also due to the fact that the tour was executed exactly as promised keeping high quality throughout.

Unforgettable journey through Uganda's "Trekking with Gorillas" tour
5/5

It will be an experience you will never forget! My guide Dismus made it fantastic, going over and beyond to allow me to capture the real essence of this experience and making me comfortable all the way. A big thank you to the Rangers who are doing a great job taking care of the gorillas while allowing us tourist to have a taste of their daily life. Highly recommended!
