Excellent trip with exceeded expectations!
A friend and I planned a 2 day trip to Bwindi, Uganda to visit the gorilla's. Nicholas was very helpful in the communication and answered very fast! It was no problem to pick us up and drop us off in the south of Rwanda, a 6 hour drive. We got an upgrade on the room and it was quite luxurious. Osbert was a great driver and guide on which we could rely! We needed to trust Nicholas and Osbert blindly, but were not disappointed!

Outstanding—lots of variety!
My partner and I did an 11-day tour through Uganda and Rwanda this July, and we had an amazing time. Nicholas did an impeccable job coming up with a customized itinerary for us—he sent us 2 initial ideas, and in the end we pulled pieces from both to create our ideal trip.
Our driver, Richard, was friendly and fun to be around. And the accommodations (even though we choose the most budget-friendly option) exceeded our expectations. Altogether an amazing experience. I would recommend Africa Tours Adventure to anyone planning a trip to either of these 2 countries.

The Pearl of Africa
Just back from an absolutely amazing 5 day trip through Rwanda and Uganda with ATA , the highlight being our Gorilla Trek in Bwindi National Park. It was an experience of a lifetime.
From the very beginning Nicholas was instrumental in the planning of this incredible trip. He was a pleasure to deal with, professional and attentive. He replied promptly and no question was left unanswered.
We chose the midrange option and the accommodation far exceeded our expectations. Breakfast lunch and dinner were included at the lodges and the staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful.
Our guide Richard was great. He was very knowledgeable and we had good fun together.
I have been travelling to Africa for over 15 years now and I have to say that this trip ranks as one of the best.
I can highly recommend Africa Tours Adventure.

Outstanding to say the least, the best wilidlife outing ever!!!
I and my friend went for a 3 day Gorilla and Golden Tracking Tour with Africa Tours Adventure. Now both of us are huge wildlife fans. We can no safely vouch that this is the most exhilarating experience once can have. Its ineffable to a certain extent because one has to really live the moment. Gorillas are amazing animal and its humbling to be in their presence.
We organized our tour via Africa Tours Adventure. Our main point of contact was Nicholas and our driver / guide was Bernard. The entire trip was flawlessly executed. We received exactly what we paid for and even more. Right from planning the trip, to making the payment online, to landing and traveling from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park to hiking to see the gorillas to ending the trip was amazing. I was blown away by the hospitality of both the tour organizers , the hotel and the Rwanda people. A big thank you!!
We also got a surprise upgrade on the lodge when we reached which was extremely satisfying. SO if you are planning this trip in Rwanda or Uganda contact these guys. You can be rest assured that the entire trip will be executed flawlessly
A big thumbs up. keep up the great work and let the world get a taste of this wonderful experience

Wonderful Company-Wonderful Guide
This company is great! I contacted them after Rwanda doubled the cost of gorilla tracking and they helped us come up with an affordable, alternative plan. Our guide, Chris, was fantastic. He was one time, but we were late so he hurried us across the border and got us checked into a wonderful lodge, close to the gorilla tracking site in Uganda. The gorilla tracking is truly a once in a lifetime experience. He then dropped us off in Kigali and gave us some great suggestions for things to do and see. I highly recommend this company and this guide!

First-class experience with Africa Tours Adventure
Thank you very much for the wonderful tour and first-class experience that you have provided to us during our short time in your beautiful country(s) last week. We have really enjoyed it and our compliments to the perfect organization and execution of the tour. We would like to thank Nicholas for all the organization upfront, for all the advices that made our trip perfect given the short time that we had. With all the documents provided even the Visa Procedure was very easy.
Our tour guide Gavies was the best guide we have ever met. We felt comfortable and safe from the very first moment. We have enjoyed long conversations in the car about culture and history of Rwanda/Uganda and very safe driving.
The Gorilla trekking was exceptional and the Africa Safari Team chose a percet starting point and overnight at Bakiga lodge where the local prepared exceptional meals for us the view from our cabin was just unique.

a trip of a lifetime
the guys from ATA made our trip one of the best ever, from start to finish their communication was clear and the trip to see the gorillas in Bwindi and then the safari onto Queen Elizabeth was fantastic. The accomodation was great, tour guide open and engaging and although the costs are quite high for charity workers or lower paid people like us it is a once in a lifetime trip so make a plan and go see the gorillas for yourself!

Gorilla Trek Bwindi Uganda
We had a great time. Nicholas did an excellent job communicating with prompt emails and suggestions of hotels and area attractions. Our tour guide Gavis was awesome. He made us feel comfortable. He was knowledgeable of the area and very agreeable to our requests. He went out of his way to help us have a great time. He came back to our hotel the day after the tour to drive us around the city and to the airport free of charge. We felt we had made a true friend. We plan to do another tour with Gavis within the next few years!!

Magical Trip with an Outstanding Company
This was truly the trip of a lifetime for me. Nicholas worked with me to produce a packed but feasible itinerary which was perfect for my 13-day tour of Uganda. He answered all of my many questions in detail and extremely promptly - I don't think he ever takes a day off! His quote was extremely competitive and the trip was worth every penny.
My guide in Uganda was Barnabas and I can't praise him highly enough. He was extremely knowledgeable and I learned a great deal about the country and its wildlife from him. He is clearly very passionate about conservation and he put in a great deal of effort to ensure that my trip was a complete success. He is a very open, friendly and entertaining guide and his professionalism is exceptional. It was an absolute pleasure to be in his company. He's also a skilled driver which meant that I always felt completely safe despite some of the roads and weather that we encountered.
The accommodation that Nicholas organised for me was fantastic; stunning views, comfortable rooms, great food and consistently excellent service with a smile.
It's difficult to choose highlights from the trip - everything was wonderful. My game drives in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth were fantastic. Our vehicle was great for game viewing and finally getting to see a leopard was breathtaking! Barnabas' keen eye and good relationships with other guides and staff at the parks meant that I saw a whole host of animal and bird life. The boat cruises in these parks were also terrific, particularly for hippos and birds.
The chimpanzee and gorilla tracking in Kibale and Bwindi were truly unforgettable experiences and I loved tracking golden monkeys in Mgahinga. I'd definitely recommend hiring a porter for these treks. You don't necessarily need someone to carry your bag if you're fit and the hike isn't too long, but you'll provide someone with a day's work for only $15/20 and they can give you a helpful push or pull on the steeper bits, especially if it's been raining.
All in all, Nicholas and Barnabas planned and delivered an amazing trip. It was a complete success and I thoroughly recommend using Africa Tours Adventure. Huge thanks to them!!
