Unreal Uganda!
Thank you so much to Africa Tours Adventure for exceeding our expectations of Uganda. From the organisation, to the end of the trip - we could not fault a thing. We were lucky enough to be assigned the most amazing Tour Guide; Patrick; and he made our trip just that extra bit more memorable. Such a gentleman and so knowleagle. My sister and I asked about 100 questions a day and because of him, we left "the Pearl of Africa" knowing and having learnt so much. All the Lodges we stayed in were as mind-blowing as the last; Bakiga, Embogo and Enganzi. Just WOW to all of them. Each with their special selling point and unique locations and views. Food and service was great throughout and we loved the car too (as we spent a lot of time in the car), it was clean and comfy and when the roof opened up, we were on cloud 9 for the Safari drives! Not to forget the main reason we went to Uganda; the Gorillas! We were priviledged enough to spend 1hour with the Mukiza Family (18 members) and again, this whole trek and experience was phenomenal.
Highly recommend Uganda to everyone - it is safe and beautiful and the people are so welcoming. And no better way to explore this Country than with Africa Tours Adventure. Thank you!
Uganda shines and outperforms all expectations
After several weeks of researching safari options we pined it down to Africa Safari with a Uganda location.
We were extremely satisfied with our experience and happy with our choice
We selected a 4 day option starting with an incredible Gorilla trek in Bwindi Nat’l park. Remember to specify what type of hike you would like to experience. You can select an easier shorter vs longer trek.
Our driver Kaye was extremely resourceful, knowledgeable and a great driver.
Be prepared for rough dirt roads s you will be headed to remote lodge gor gorilla viewing as well for the Queen Elizabeth Park.
Thanks to Kaye’s patience we saw a tree lion camouflaged in a big fig tree, a rarely seen leopard, many antilopes, water buffalos, antilopes and monkeys.
Lodges provided clean and comfortable accommodations with unique and delicious diners.
If you’re torn between Rwanda vs Uganda safari experience you won’t be disappointed with a Uganda experience.

Great experience and great value!
My Wife and I did a 6-day Uganda Safari with Africa Tours Adventure for our honeymoon (Kibale-QENP-Bwindi-Bunyoni). We chose Africa Tours adventure because it was cheaper than other well-reviewed tour operators, and were very happy with our choice.
Itinerary: The itinerary was great! I imagine it would be similar with many operators, but if you’re considering a Ugandan itinerary with Gorilla tracking, I’d highly recommend it — it’s such an amazing experience. If you can pay extra to extend the chimp experience, I would consider doing that as well (because its a shorter experience, we only got to see the chimps far away, in the treetops). Our tour guide, Levan was very open to adding activities in the area if we told him what we wanted.
Guide: Levan was excellent. He was super personable, and we ate most of our meals together, so we learned way more about Uganda than we otherwise would have (I know with some companies, the guides don’t generally have meals with their guests). While we were passing through his home town, he took us to his mom’s house and we got to try some authentic food and drink and see his family’s home, which was quite neat!
Lodging: The lodging was all nice mid-tier lodging; although the tour was budget compared to many other options, none of the lodging felt budget at all.
Vehicle: This is the one thing that felt more budget about this tour. It was a 90s style 5-seater land cruiser rather than the big classic Safari Jeep, so for the driving Safaris, it wasn’t as good as the full Jeep experience (which we had done on another leg of our trip) and was definitely more cramped. They offered the option to use a normal truck for driving between places and rent safari vehicles in the parks, but we wanted to have the option to put the top up for the en-route game drive, so we didn’t take them up on that option.
Company: The company is very well organized. We had car trouble due to bad roads, and Levan and the company worked incredibly quickly to make sure it wouldn’t have an impact on our trip.
Long story short, I’d say that the tour with Africa Tours Adventure felt like a well-run, mid-tier tour, at a budget price, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!

Excellent guides make for a top notch experience
From gorilla and chimp trekking in Uganda, to boat cruises and game drives, to urban experiences in Kigali, Rwands, Africa Tours Adventure made our trip a top notch experience. Our driver guides, Patrick, Chris & Bernard, were warm, funny, personable and extremely knowledgeable about the people, culture and wildlife we experienced.
We came as a group of 18 vegans and the company made sure that our dietary needs were met at every stop. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a safe but adventurous trip to these beautiful countries

Vegan Uganda Gorillas
Visiting Africa has always been a big question mark for me. We heard about this vegan tour that was being organized and decided to be part of this group of 18 travelers. From the moment we arrived at the airport, to the moment we left, I felt safe, comfortable, and looked after by our guide Bernard. We had 3 cars with 6 people in each car. The three guides (also Patrick & Chris) worked together and stayed together to provide an exciting and memorable experience. The itinerary was excellent, and we stayed in some very lovely lodgings, starting from our arrival in Kigali, Rwanda. The company arranged all of our food options making it super easy, stress-free travel. Rooms and bedding were comfortable and all staff on various parts of the tours were eager to look after us. I was pleased to see that a number of women were working as porters, trekking guides, and rangers. They all did a great job and were very passionate about preserving the wildlife! Bring lots of small bills so it is easy to give tips!!

Fourth time with Africa Tours Adventure - hopefully, there will be a fifth time in the future
I've been to Eastern Africa three times in the past years - always with Nicholas and his team. That's why I naturally reached out to him again in order to organize a four country trip (Burundi/Congo/Rwanda/Uganda). Nicholas again did a marvellous job and created a spot-on itinerary. He was always very responsive and patiently endured my whims.
The team and my guide Patrick expertedly navigated the customs/covid-19 bureaucracy and allowed for another memorable trip. Patrick was not only great in organizing the border crossings, he also was a very knowledgeable guide with eagle eyes in Akagera. I'm already hoping that there will be peace in Eastern Congo - not only for the local community, but also egoistically so that I can reach out again to Nicholas for a journey to the Virunga NP. There is a reason he only has 5 star reviews here.

Kind, caring and FUN!
I travelled with a group of 18 people in 3 vans, with guides Bernard, Chris and Patrick. It could not have been easy to navigate so many different people and places, but hey were beyond professional - they had big hearts, a great sense of humor and were all at once caring, courteous and knowledgeable. I always felt safe and would highly recommend Africa Tours Adventure!

Trip of a lifetime with Africa Tours Adventure!
We just returned from a 13-day trip in Uganda with Africa Tours Adventure. They are an exceptional company to work with. Nicholas, who tailored our trip based on our preferences and budget, put together a fabulous experience visiting Uganda - from Ziwa to Murchison National Park, Kibale, Bwindi, Lake Bunyoni and Lake Mburo. The diversity of the activities ranging from game drives, boat rides, nature walks, chimps and gorillas trekking contributed to making this trip such a memorable one experience. The lodges (luxury) were excellent, with a special mention to Turaco Treetops in Kibale. The success of this trip was largely due to our guide, Levan. Levan is not only an excellent and safe driver, but he has also had an eye for spotting animals and is very knowledgeable about them. So, if you’re planning to visit Uganda, I highly recommend Africa Tours Adventure with Levan on your side!

Excellent experience with Africa Tours Adventure
We are an American couple who went on a nine-day Ugandan safari in July 2023 organized by Africa Tours Adventure.
Africa Tours Adventure is Nicholas, and Nicholas was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He responded to every inquiry immediately, was knowledgeable and accommodating, and planned a great trip for us. Our complicated itinerary, through four national parks and including three primate trekking days, was completed seamlessly thanks to Nicholas's planning and our driver/guide Moses's handling of the details as we went.
Our trip was considered, and priced, as mid-level, but at least a couple of the lodges we stayed in could fit into the "luxury" category.
Moses worked hard to make sure we saw as many animals, and different kinds of animals, as we could in the time we had and generally seemed to do what he could to make sure we had a good safari. We appreciated Moses's dedication and hard work throughout the tour.
We had a great time. The tour more than met our expectations, and we recommend Africa Tours Adventure without hesitation.
