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.

Kefer could not have looked after us better and made sure we saw and did everything promised
Every place my daughter and I stayed at provided excellent friendly service and very good vegan meals while Kefer kept us well supplied with water and information at all times. We saw and did all that was offered and as an 80 year old I felt perfectly safe at all times - gorilla and chimp tracking, rafting, canoeing .......
All the accommodation was good, some was excellent but my preference was for the smaller more personal, less luxurious places where we got to know the people.
I would definitely recommend this company for exceptional value, good service and excitement.

The itinerary, guide, and accommodations were amazing.
Communication before and during the tour was really good. Richard answered all of my questions before the tour and followed up to see that everything was alright after the tour. The itinerary that Richard suggested was really well organized and included everything I wanted to see and the one accommodation change that I wanted to make. All accommodations were nice and well located. During our travels from one location to the next, Richard made some stops at different sites to show me things along the way. He was a very good and enthusiastic guide and I really enjoyed my tour with him.

Great first safari!
I took the 5 day gorillas and chimps safari.
Communication prior to the trip was very good, and Richard kept on top of things.
While in Uganda, I spent my time predominantly with Richard and his trainee guide Jonah. They were attentive and very pleasant. The same applies to everyone I was introduced to.
The trip was well managed with Richard being punctual and organised. Two of the planned accommodations differed, but their substitutes still gave me a good night's rest.
I was unfortunately not able to see the chimpanzees, but I had many other amazing animal encounters. Great care was taken to ensure I was not disappointed. Additionally, I also had the opportunity to visit the communities with guides.
It was my first time in Africa and I was kept busy while safe and comfortable. I'm very pleased I chose Karumuna Safaris and would recommend them to anyone wanting to visit Uganda.
