Rather good experience of a safari with Adventure Vacation safaris
Overall good experience. The administration before our arrival in Uganda was especially good, our contact being really available and helpful.
Our guide was really well aware of fauna and flora in Uganda, and gave us a lot of insight during all of our trip. He was also a really good driver.
The lodges and guest houses chosen for us were great (perfect service, clean and beautiful), with a slight exception for the airport guest house, which needs renewal.
We had a lot of problems with the dollars we brought, there were under 2003 and not accepted in Uganda, which was never told to us before our departure. Make sure to warn peole arriving from the outside to avoid problems with payment.
The vehicle for the safari was changed without notice the day of our arrival, which was not great, and there was nothing much we could do about it.
We booked a tailored safari for 2, a couple; when we had to do boat cruises with large family groups, that was a bit annoying.
But we definitely had a great time.
Many thanks !

Farouk best guide ever-perfect Safari!
From the first day to the last Farouk gave perfect service and made this an unfogettable trip to one of the best kept secrets in tourism: Uganda. Farouk explained everything, we always had interesting discussions during long drives going on, he was a friend from the beginning. We saw lions and hyaenas in Murchison Falls NP, chimpanzees in Kibale, a pregnant lioness climbing up a tree in Queen Elizabeth NP. A once in a lifetime experience was tracking the mountain gorillas. All lodges offered very good and personal service. We not only got an insight into the wildlife but somewhat into everyday life and culture of Uganda as well. We had a typical local meal at Tinka´ s home stay and Farouk showed and offered all sorts of local "fast food". Our favorite was banana chips! Many thanks to Farouk and all the team for a fantastic time!

The Pearl of Africa "Uganda"
The trip was absolutely great. The people are friendly and the organizer organized everything great. I would make the trip just like that again. The food was delicius. I will definitely visit uganda again. Thank you for everything
Good itinerary, good organization, a very friendly and professional guide. Just perfect !
We spent 15 fantastic days in Uganda, from Ziwa, through Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elisabeth and Bwindi. Everything has been great. We were expecting two memorable encounters with gorillas, and we got it. But the two days with the chimps (CHEX) were also a highlight of the trip.
Last but not least, we had the chance to see the shoe-bill stork in Mabamba swamp.
Thanks a lot !

We did a 3 day trip to Murchinson falls. It was outstanding and our guide Dennis as brilliant
The whole trip went well. Dennis was knowledgable about the animals we saw and about Uganda its people, and history. We stayed at Fort Murchinson lodge. It was very good. We saw 4 of the big 5 and lots more including two porcupine which are very rare. Dennis went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed himself. To get the most out of your safari be prepared to spend long days - dawn to dusk on the reserve. You will see more. I can not praise this company to highly

Exciting, varied and memorable 8-day family safari in Uganda
Adventure Vacation Safaris proved to be very quick and efficient in responding to questions and flexible about making changes to fixed itineraries. The safari was well organised, the vehicle was in good condition, the driver/guide friendly, competent and knowledgeable, accommodation lived up to expectations. A great experience which can be recommended to others.

The two excellent guides made our trip an extraordinary experience-including the Gorilla-tracking
Our Uganda/Ruanda trip was perfectly organized, from the first to the last day. The accommodations were very good. The right car was provided for the journey from Entebbe to Kigali. We had an extraordinary vacation because of the two guides Joseph (German-speaking) and Ismael (English-speaking)
In addition to the interesting itinerary with the following highlights
• Rhinotracking
• Chimpanzees tracking
• Game drive with tree climbing lions
• 2 x Gorilla tracking
we have learned a lot about the country and the people of Uganda and Ruanda. Our special wishes, like the visit of a church on Sunday, were fulfilled. We would take another trip through the countries with these two guides, at once.
Uganda is a very interesting country under development.

Our helpful and safe escort during our holiday!
We were very warm welcomed at the airport of Entebbe from our friendly tour guide Richard. During our journey through Uganda we felt that we are in good hands. Everything was very well organised and and we enjoyed every day in this beautiful country. We made gorilla trekking which was an highlight for us and an experience which we will definetly never forget! The boat cruise on the Kazinga channel is also a must to do. Our accommodations were really great and we enjoyed every day a great dinner with typical Ugandian dishes. We loved the fresh fish Tilapia from the lake Victoria and of course we could not get enough of Avocados and sweet potatoes, which is really hard to get in Europe !
All in all we were really satisfied and we can really recommend Adventure Vacation Safaris!
