The best tour operator and guide in Uganda
My wife and I just finished a 2 week adventure around Uganda with Africa Tours Adventure. I can't say enough about them. Our guide Barnabas was outstanding! Really you should ask for him when you book. He made us feel safe and taken care of the whole trip as well as informed and entertained. Nothing beats laughing all along the way with each other. Even as we were negotiating our way around while the coronavirus was starting to cause issues. Between Barnabas and Nicolas, they managed to adjust on the fly to find us new accommodations when one had tax issues and others when we could not cross the border into Rwanda. They were efficient and on top of it all without us really knowing all the issues. Barnabas made our trip one of the best we ever had. Great conversations, great advice and he always had our best interest at heart. His main goal was that we got the most out of our trip on every level. Truly a good man and a great friend. I will tell everyone to ask for Barnabas if they book. You could not be in better hands.
We spent 2 weeks in which we did monkey walk at Bigodi, chimpanzee tracking, the Kazinga Channel, Queen Elizabeth National Park, 2 gorilla tracking hikes and golden monkeys. Barnabas gave us a lot of history of where we were and was super informative of all the animals we saw including so many birds. I felt like I was being educated along with the adventure. It was out of this world. We felt like we were being enriched while we were guided. We saw all the big wildlife that were around and even saw the tree climbing lions in Ishasha! And when I got a bit of traveler's stomach, we said bye bye to packed lunches and Barnabas kept checking in on me. We really felt special. He helped get us into the best family tracking of gorillas in Buhoma because I wasn't sure if I was going to make it. God bless him! Always was looking out for us. He has great contacts with the guides and rangers. He was even open to us helping out a mother and daughter duo who were running the French Amazing Race. What a story to bring back!
One lodge was having tax problems and Nicolas found us an upgrade in no time and it was even better. All the lodges were beautiful that they chose and when we had to adjust after Rwanda was having border issues they found us more wonderful accommodations on the fly. Again all the lodges were awesome and really close to all our activities. They really know their country and all it has to offer. We had quiet places with wonderful views.
This was by far the best 2 week adventure we have ever taken and we are pretty well travelled. Everything was more than we had thought it would be. This is by far the best safari travel company in Uganda. Book with them. You won't find anyone better. Nicolas is a class act! There is a reason he is ranked #1. Believe it and trust it! Ask for Barnabas as well. He is professional, kind and friendly. We will be friends for life now. They will be our go to when we go back.

Repeat customer, made happy again (this time in Rwanda)...
The team had organized a memorable trip to Uganda in the past. Back then, I selected them because of their impeccable track record here. So when I decided to go for Rwanda during the COVID-19 pandemic, they were my first choice again. They guided me expertly through the necessary evil of COVID bureaucracy.
The week spent in Rwanda was customized to my needs with an excellent selection of hotels and lodges. Obviously, the primates were the highlights - but also the Canopy Walk in Nyungwe was worth visiting. The guide Gavin was very knowledgeable and fun to be around with. His driving was always adequate. Rwanda itself left a great impression. I felt safe throughout the trip, both with respect to crime in general and COVID-19. Probably the safest country in Africa I've been to so far. Regarding COVID-19 - the country takes this pandemic very seriously - so be prepared for measures in this respect (requirement to wear a mask even in the rain forest, regular use of desinfectants, etc). I'll likely end up doing another trip to Uganda/Rwanda in the future - and I'd definitely contact Nicholas & team again to get their views..

Amazing experience, and a very nice break from the tough global circumstances.
We had an excellent experience with Africa Tours Adventure. Our driver/ guide was Levan. He was very friendly and informative, and we had an excellent time welcoming in Christmas day with him in Bwindi! We would recommend.
The safari tour certainly lived up to expectations. The service was great everywhere, the Ugandan people are incredibly friendly. The actual tour itself was great. Seeing the Gorillas and the Chimps were both unforgettable days.
Many thanks.

Amazing trip!
The trip was amazing and went beyond all our expectations! Since the very beginning Nicholas was super helpful, he replied to the messages and emails very fast and did a great job to get our visas on time! The selection of hotels and activities was just perfect!
On the other hand, Barnabas, our driver who did his best to make our trip comfortable, enjoyable and spectacular! He was very patient and did everything with a big smile! By the end of the trip we became very good friends,
I can’t recommend this company any more! Very professional and reliable!

Amazing trip
I took a 7 day trip with the agency.
Nicolas who was in the planning of the route was very responsive, understanding and adaptable to respond to my requests. The organization was simple, efficient and pleasant.
Levan was our guide and driver during this road trip. A big thank you to him for his energy, his joie de vivre and his dedication to meeting our needs which were mainly to see the animals.
The experience of the Gorillas, and Chimpanzees in addition to the safaris was just exceptional!
You can go with your eyes closed, you will be in good hands and your trip will be smooth and rewarding.
thanks to you two

Efficient and passionate tour operator effortless to provide best life experience
My partner and I went on a 7 days tour in Uganda, and to say we loved the experience is an understatement. Nicholas majestically supported us in preparing for the trip. He was very efficient and supportive - the best communication flow which reassured us ahead of the travel. While in Uganda, Richard, our guide, was so attentive, reliable, high spirited and knowledgeable about his country and wildlife, which made this travel one of our best experiences. Richard was on top of all the logistics, we just relaxed and enjoyed the experience. We were so excited to see the gorillas, the main reason for arranging this trip, but we were surprised by all of Uganda. The places we visited - meticulously tailored by Nicholas and Richard - were stunning, the local culture, wide life, food, all of it very worthy. I recommend Africa Tours Adventure, and you will have a fantastic time with them.

AMAZING! Couldn't have asked for a better company & guide
We had the best time in Uganda and Nicholas was the most understanding and helpful contact EVER! The trip kept being changed and delayed because of covid but Nicholas helped us through it all. He was very flexible and made us feel so comfortable.
Our guide Barnabas was also so nice, helpful and funny. We felt so comfortable with him and had the best chats. When we asked to change things during the tour Nicholas and Barnabas were super flexible.
Uganda is STUNNING and you'll never regret going.
We ended up testing positive for covid on our last day, but with Nicholas and Barnabas' help it wasn't the end of the world and our quarantine in Uganda was better than what it would have been at home. If you're travelling now it's definitely important to go with people you can rely on and Africa Tours Adventure were the best!

Professional and high attention to detail.
A memorable trip from start to finish. If you are coming to Uganda and want to do a trip like this, book with these guys. Their knowledge and understanding of how to make a trip perfect from start to finish is second to none. Levan our driver, was fantastic. We really enjoyed his company, and during the game drive, he noticed a lions tail sticking out of a bush from 50 M’s away. We ended up seeing a family of five because of his sharp eyes. The accommodation and food were fantastic. Such an amazing experience.

The best tour company for Africa
Africa Tour Adventure were simply outstanding in arranging our 8 day tour in Rwanda including Gorilla Safari. They provide amazing service especially when we had to re-schedule the whole tour last minute due to cancelled flights. Nicholas was able to re-organise the itinerary in a day and we were ready to discover Rwanda when we landed in Kigali.
We had a life changing Gorilla trekking experience!!
We experienced Rwanda thanks to our amazing guide (Julius Tinkamayire) who was very knowledgeable. Julius was constantly striving to make our trip better and would advise us where we could change our plans to improve the experience. He's the type of guide you could rely on in any situation.
Look forward to visiting Rwanda again in the future and exploring more of Rwanda with our guide Julius.
