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!!

Great experience!
We had a great time in Rwanda and Congo, the experience of the Lava lake in Congo was amazing, breathtaking view! a once in a lifetime experience! Same for the gorillias.
A bit of a challenge for the trekking when not use to altitude-so be ready- but definitely worth it!
The gorillia experience was one our favorite, we really enjoyed it and the information provided by the national park guide were really interesting.
The genocide memorial in Kigali was a must see to understand what happened in Rwanda.
The lodge was good, they get local products (and that is good) and they did their best with what is available on the spot and to please you.
Banabas our guide was really dedicated to us and especially on our safety, making his best for making everything happen in the best way. we would definitely recommend him, very nice , interesting and pleasant guy.
The vehicule was very good, well maintained ,adapted and comfortable.
We really appreciated the community walk close by the lodge .

A wonderful experience...
A massive thanks to Nicholas and Eric from Africa Tours Adventure for their hand in a wonderful and memorable trip to Rwanda! Communication with Nicholas was easy and direct in organising the permits and accommodating our requests, and Eric our guide ensured we had an enjoyable experience. He has tremendous passion for his job, his local knowledge was excellent and so informative which made our experience that much better than others. The gorilla trek is absolutely a must do! It is the ultimate safari experience in my opinion and by far the most unforgettable. If you're looking for a professional and personable tour operator in Rwanda/Uganda then look no further!
Great tour experience
We were 2 people seeking a outdoor adventure trip in September. The highlights of the tour being the gorilla trek in Rwanda and Nyiragongo volcano trek in DRC were very well arranged by Nicholas of Africa tours and our guide Bernard was always there to see everything went smoothly.
All our queries and requests to fine tune our tour were immediately responded to thru Whatsapp, emails and phonecalls.
All in all, everything went very smooth and according to the plan, which we were actually not expecting! Will definitely recommend them and wishing them all the best!!
