A well versed with what he does, friendly to all people.
Its a trip that is worthy your money, just from the beginning of the journey, the sites we visited , the food we ate and the friendly people who took us through. I will recommend anyone anytime to try Karumuna Safaris for the fast experience.

Successful Trip
I had a 2 night and 3day Murchison Falls NP trip with Karumuna Safaris, I really enjoyed each and everything about the tour. I can say that I really felt the value of my money, enjoyed quality services, tour guide and the driver are so professional, Accommodation was so conducive. Thank you Karumuna Safaris, see you soon!

Extraordinary services
I travelled with Karumuna safaris on a Christmas holiday with my friends but guess what the services were beyond our expectations.
Our guide Richard made it very possible for us to get what we never even expected from our 4 days safari to murchison falls national park and Ziwa rhino sanctuary via masindi town.
How sweet, terrifying was murchison falls which happens to be the world's strongest waterfall, how sweet was wildlife!!!!!! The boat cruise on the Victoria Nile it was wonderful
Ooooh

Be careful with this company
It's very sad because previously travelling with Karumuna (we did it three times) had no big problems. This time, however, the unpleasantness overcame everything. A number of services were not paid. So we had to pay for a second time in several places for accommodation and food. There were also no paid hikes for chimpanzees and gorillas. The owner of the Karumuna kept promising that the money issues would settle. Right away. An hour later. Two hours later. Tomorrow. Even now that we are already returning home, it is still promising that the money will be returned. We don't believe it anymore. It is a great pity that the visions of many travelers of the beautiful country, Uganda- Pearl of Africa, have been ruined.It's not exactly a clear reason why our money was missing. The most unpleasant, though, are the empty promises. I now i will travel Uganda again. Becose of very beauty and nice country and friendly people. But not with Karumuna. Never.
Reply from Karumuna Safaris
Posted on Nov 30, 2021Yes it true Karumuna safaris could not reach your expectations but we also believe it was not our first time working together. As a company we experienced scum which i tried to explain and i hope you also understand the situation which was in the country due to covid19.
we had worked together three (3) consecutive safaris without experiencing hardships but as we said the company always do refunds in incase of such experiences and we are looking forward to refund.
we are really sorry for the bad experience but we promise it will never happen again.
Thank you.

Professionell, reliable, safe
I chose the 4 Days Queen Elizabeth NP Safari.
Bookable directly and easily on the Internet, I got quick answers.
Simple and secure payment formalities.
At short notice I had to change the flight, nevertheless reliable pick up in the morning at the airport.
Professionally organized tour; good choice of the accommodation (Kazinga Wilderness Safari Camp).
Kefar was a very nice, friendly, helpful, experienced and customer-oriented driver /guide; sensible and safe driving.
We saw 3 leopards within 24h, lions, elephants, hippos, chimpanzees and black and white colobus during the chimps trekking, and a lot more.
Overall good price / performance ratio.
Absolutely recommendable.

Top organized and safe Uganda safari in Covid-19 times
This is our second time booking this company.
The trip evaluated here took place in Covid-19 times and begins in Germany (Bavaria).
Uganda was not a risk area at the time. There was a general mask requirement. For the entry into Uganda we needed a max. 120h old PCR test on arrival and a yellow fever vaccination and an online visa. For the return journey to Germany (Bavaria) we needed a max. 48h PCR test on arrival and an entry registration. All documents were checked at the departure counters.
Now to the travel report:
We reached Uganda via Entebbe airport. At the exit the director Richard and his head guide Kefar were already waiting for us. After a short briefing we started.
The itinerary was agreed in advance and was also communicated daily in the evening by Kefar for the next day during the tour.
In the following nine days we visited the following national parks as planned:
Murchison Falls
Kibale and his chimpanzees
Queen Elisabeth Kazinga Canal and Ishasha
Bwindi (Buhoma) with his gorillas
Lake Bunyonyi
Richard selected fine and excellent lodges for us throughout the trip.
Our driver and guide Kefar, accompanied by his trainee Isaac, brought us safely and well protected from place to place and showed and explained the wilderness of Uganda.
Kefar was able to competently answer all of our questions about animals, nature, land and people and everything else. Isaac was always involved and eager to learn.
They were always warm, cheerful and incredibly personable.
Overall, the whole tour was well managed and organized, including all admissions and PCR tests. We were always provided with everything.
We thank you for the great trip and gained experience and hope to see us again in the future.
We can warmly recommend Uganda and Karumuna Safaris to everyone.
No word to express my feeling, it was extremely fantastic !!! With excellent tour guide .
It was my first experience to tour Queen Elizabeth National Park. Karumuna safaris, my tour agent made it more wonderful beyond expectations.
Time management and site location was perfect. Good hospitality and professionalism of our tour guide with detailed explanation of the animals and places.
Can't wait to visit other parks with Karumuna safaris.

Great guys and local operators
Richard was great to deal with from the start and helped plan out our trip from start to finish with all our requests and adjustments.
The accommodations were great and best thing was using local operators in place of overseas investors. Would much rather see our money go to the people and communities.
Price was more than competitive and worth every cent.
Colleb was our guide and Richard even joined us for part of the trip.
Colleb was great from start to finish, just such a nice guy and loved his job.
Would book with these guys again without a question.
Colleb and Richard keep up the great work and hope to see you again soon.

I’ve just returned from a fantastic 2 week holiday in Uganda, with Karumuna making it the holiday of a lifetime.
Richard and his Team arranged a fabulous trip for us, with Kefar our guide making sure every day was perfect. His knowledge was amazing, plus he constantly went the extra mile to ensure our stay was amazing.
I can’t thank them enough for making the holiday so special.
