Wonderful safari and great staff!
The service was wonderful. Our guide did everything to ensure that we had a great time. The transportation was comfortable and all our expectations were met or exceeded.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great excperience
We hade a great experience with Karumuna safaris. The trip lasted for 7 days, starting in Kampala. Everything was very well organized. We payed everything in advanced and certainly got what we payed for when we arrived. Our guide was very friendly and made us feel safe the whole journey. He drove us everywhere and attended in all of the activities. We can really recommend Karumuna Safaris.

Great personalized serviceeven came to meet me to sign disclosure agreements
Surprisingly, we had a personal guide. We upgrade our accom at a minor upchsrge. The time spent with them was phenomenal. I'd highly recommend using them.
Only criticism is that when we where on the way to Murchison falls we where on what I considered to be a public transport.
Other than that extraordinary. Do it.

Great impressions
We were seven persons company travelling with Karumuna Safaris and it will remain as unforgettable experience during Christmas time in Uganda. We travelled from Kampala to Kibale than Qeen Elizabeth (Kazinga chanel with great hippos as well) Bwindi Impenetrable forest with amazing gorillas, lake Bunyonyi and lake Mburo National park. Mr Richard Kisembo head and owner Karumuna safari was very interested in organisation and managing our safari. Moses, our guide and driver worked good and was an excellent assistent. Many thanks to rangers in Kibale, Bwindi and Mburo for competence and assistance. Gorilla tracking was something absoluttely wow! We tracked Rushaga, Kahungye gruop and Big Papa (silverback) was in very good mood. We were too.
Hope it wasn't my last Uganda trip.
Many thanks and I feel absolutely free to advise Karumuna for other travellers. Good service and fine prices.
