Highly professional with personal approach tour operator
I travel with Karumuna Safari in a large group around Uganda for more than one week in December, 2018. We travelled through all Uganda, starting from jungle with gorillas and finalizing with safari with elephants, lions, tigers. As we travelled long distances during the day, almost every day we stayed in new hotel. The premises were different, some of them were very basic, some - very luxury ones.
Apart from exploring rich Uganda land, it was true pleasure to meet Karumuna Safari team and I would like to stress out the guides’ highly professionalism and personal attach to our group wishes. Every day our journey was add with stories about Uganda’s culture; nature; politicise’ people’s daily life. As for us many of the Uganda’s fruits were exotic and we wanted to know how they are grown, the guide – Onan, take imitative and stop near the pineapple, banana, sweet potatoes fields and explained vegetation process. Another nice experience was that I was interested in African dresses and our guide Richard negotiated with the locals that they sew a dress special for me in few hours.
I would like to say, because of these guides unique personal approach to their guests, the Uganda’s discovery was positively unforgettable.

Karumuna Safaris are really great guys who made this trip for me very special.
The communication and service were rgood. Some of hotels were really nice (Gorilla mist!), some were a bit of disapointment (Baboon Lodge), because it was not very comfortable to live in a room and washing room without ceiling together with other people. Safari tour was good and gorilla tracking although physically demanding was absolutely stunning! We were sorry to leave this trip earlier because of personal reasons. This experience made us to fall in love with Uganda and Uganda people!

Amazing safari
The team were fantastic and very knowledgeable on the local wildlife. The lodges and hotels were well equipped with everything I needed in order to make my life long dream of seeing the gorillas come true. My driver and tour guide was excellent and friendly and able to field many questions that I had. Richard was also on call for any questions I had. The tour was brilliantly executed with an itinerary that suited me perfectly as a solo traveller with plenty of flexibility.

Close proximity to wildlife, beautful scenary and safari lodges paired with an accommodating guide.
The service was fun and friendly. The safari were outstanding as they enabled us to get close to the wildlife without disturbing them - a great eco tourism success. With the exception of one hotel, which the company moved us from, the accommodation was comfortable and homely. The communication could have been improved but overall the guide was very accommodating.

Amazing gorilla tracking experience with Karumuna Safaris
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience tracking mountain gorillas in Bwindi impenetrable forest with Karumuna Safaris. Richard and Jonah were very professional in their communication with us right from the beginning. The whole experience completely exceeded our expectations, the accommodation at Gorilla mist camp and Lake Bunyonyi was excellent and the food was delicious as well. Our guide Caleb was very friendly and very knowledgeable, providing all sorts of information about the Gorillas and other wildlife on the long journey to and from Kampala. The Gorilla tracking itself was a phenomenal experience and worth every penny. All in all Karumuna Safaris were a great company to do our trip with, from the first communication until they dropped us off at Kampala, they took great care of us. Thanks a lot guys!

Nice time and company to feel Uganda
Karumuna Safaris is young, growing company. Richard and his team are very open and prosessional. I think they have great perspectives, ambitions and future! Lets help them! But we will get great service and nonforgetable moments in the nature and between nice local people.

Merchant Falls excellent tour! A++
My family and I went on the 3 day Merchant falls tour. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Karumuna safaris did a great job communicating with us days leading up to the safari.
Our safari guide Onan did an outstanding job and made the safari a once in a lifetime unforgettable experience! His knowledge of local culture and all wildlife made him the perfect safari guide! Onan is highly recommended!

You"ll come home with the biggest smile and long life memories that you will not stop talking about!
Karumuna Safaris showed my partner and I a life time experience that will be in our memories and hearts for ever. Can’t fault our 13 day safari tour as we saw the Big 5!! Elephants galore, giraffes, zebra's, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, primates Gorilla’s & Chimpanzee and all the extra wild life that Uganda houses. The breath taking country side and the amazing sights, with all the National Parks as well as the local community. We did extra as we wanted all the highlights and wonders of Uganda from seeing the Shoe Bill Stork to White Water Rafting on the Nile in Jinja and so much more. Wow Wow Wow!!!
Karumuna Safaris top priority is you the client, they are not happy unless you are happy and they make sure you are happy!! Which was easy for them as all the staff from Karumuna Safaris, Richard the principal, Jonah, Onan and Mosses, are very friendly and helpful with any queries just like the rest of Ugandans. They make sure you see and do what you have requested and their driver/guide (Mosses) has an amazing insight and has friends at every stop which made our Safari even more enjoyable. This Safari was more than we could ever imagined.
A Big Thank You to Karumuna Safaris and we look forward to our next visit :-)
