Amazing safari with Karumuna Safaris
It was so easy to plan our safari with Richard, the owner of Karumuna Safaris. He answered all of my questions (and there were many) in a timely manner. The whole safari was planned by exchanging numerous emails. You are in good hands with this company both pre-safari and once you are in Uganda. He arranged everything in an efficient manner, and was always very punctual. He works hard to make sure his travelers are happy. Plus, he is just a really nice person, from whom you will gain a lot of insight into life in Uganda. Uganda is a beautiful country that offers so many varied experiences, from horse back riding along the Nile, hiking, and of course, many national parks. It was an experience of a lifetime to see the gorillas and chimps. At our request Richard even contacted a guide when we decided at the last minute that we wanted to spend more time chimp trekking. Do not hesitate to book with Karumuna, an honest and very reliable company. Highly recommended!

Once in a lifetime experience
My daughter and I took the 14 day discover Uganda trip and what an amazing experience it was. I did have a few initial concerns about booking and sending large sums of money to an unknown company in Uganda. I needn't have worried. Richard was extremely professional in all aspects, answering my emails straight away, confirming receipt of the funds immediately and generally reassuring me that everything was in hand. Richard works very hard to ensure everything goes to plan. He had changed some of our accommodation prior to our arrival as he had had some bad reports about the lodges where we were initially supposed to stay. The trip itself could not have gone better. Richard met us at the airport and transferred us to our guest house where our guide for the trip met us the next day. Ashadu was the perfect companion, extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and Uganda in general. Most importantly we felt completely safe and well looked after throughout the trip which was a perfect mix of wildlife, culture and relaxation. Ashadu was a very competent driver, important as we spent many hours driving over very rough roads. The accommodation exceeded our expectations. Uganda is a beautiful diverse country with relatively few tourists. Ashadu went out of his way to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible. Particular favourites were the elephants seen from the boat trip in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and of course the chimps and gorillas which we genuinely felt privileged to see. Thank you Richard and Ashadu for giving us such a wonderful unforgettable trip.

Excellent experience, from start to finish
Great communication and very careful attention to detail from the start. Our guide Noah was terrific - friendly, attentive, informative and careful without being overbearing, making for an excellent 4-day experience. I won't hesitate to recommend Karumuna to others and hope to one day explore more of Uganda with them.

Fantastic trip to Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience with Karumuna Safaris. We went to Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi and ended the tour with a night a Lake Bunyonyi. Richard was extremely helpful in arranging the tour to exactly what we wanted to do and helped work within our budget. Our driver Moses was great during the trip and spotted lots of animals in Queen Elizabeth that we would have otherwise missed! I would absolutely recommend using Karumuna Safaris for all of your tour needs in Uganda.

Lovely trip
Karumuna Safaris is the best tour operator here in Uganda. A few weeks back we traveled to Bwindi impenetrable with Richard to explore the beauty that is Uganda. Richard is the proprietor of this company and yes sometimes he can be a guide. I am proud I was born in the pearl of Africa, Uganda. We experienced a lot of beautiful sceneries, saw several animals like gorillas, baboons, chimps lions and several others(lions here being my best) . We had immense fun. We later moved on to kidepo np where we camped. It was a beautiful experience I will never forget. For a person who has grown up in this country it was such an amazing experience and I really did not expect it. I am glad I traveled with karumuna Safaris. I do recommend them.

Quality tour, great experience!
The tour was greatly designed, a good mix of game drive, rainforest trekking, road trip and above all gorilla tracking. Food was great along the 5 days and also good quality lodge (honor mention to Irunga Forest Lodge). Gerald was very flexible, halpful and overall an outstanding guide!

Loved this Safari Company - Very Attenetive ad Informative
Good communications, great safari. We loved it and the trek in to see the Gorillas was very successful. There was not one thing we would have changed except that we may have picked up the tour in Kigali with the same tour company to avoid the long drive from Entebbe, but in saying that we got to see a lot and stopped on the Equator for some fun.
