Great 3 days gorilla tour
I had a trip with AAV for 3 days to bwindi and our driver Ceasar was the best. He is very knowledgeable about most cultural, wildlife and primates.
We spent a very comfortable night at Bakiga lodge and the staff we all welcoming and friendly
On our tracking date, we saw a family gorillas with infacts. My husband felt so special when a young gorilla touched his shoulders!
We will come back to uganda for a longer tour since the country has a lot to offer

Best tour ever
We booked an individual 4 day tour through the Murchison Falls NP with African Adventure Vacation.
From the first letter with Robert to the end of the tour with Ceasar, everything went to our complete satisfaction!
In the written preliminary discussion, Robert replied very quickly to many e-mails and when planning the tour he responded to all of our wishes and made many things possible that we hardly thought possible.
On the ground in Uganda, we cannot think of a better guide than Ceasar. He speaks excellent English, which we could understand very well and he has a great, extensive knowledge of animals and plants and Uganda in general. We will always remember the game drives with Ceasar. Through him we saw many animals that we would certainly not have noticed on our own. The night drive with the sighting of so many animals was also impressive, including a large leopard, a lioness with her cubs, elephants, a hyena, porcupines and and and ... The conversations with Ceasar told us a lot about the country and its people. We had the feeling that Caesar himself was enjoying our tour. In the end it wasn't a goodbye to a guide for us, but to a friend. He made the tour very special for us.
Thanks to Robert and a very big thank you to Ceasar.
Hopefully we can tour with you again in the future.

Unmatched experience
Africa adventure vacations is the best travel agency is have ever delt with. We consistently rescheduled our travel time ever since the outbreak of covid 19 but they never got tired of our changes. Robert was very helpful and understanding. He customized our gorilla package to the best of our needs.
Buffalo safari lodge and bakiga lodge were so outstanding as we had a birthday day surprise cake from both lodges and their staff were welcoming.
Encountering the mountain gorillas in bwindi made our safari day so special.
We will definitely recommend your services to friends and relatives

Unforgettable Kenya Safari and Uganda Gorilla Trekking Experience!
The gorilla trekking was absolutely AMAZING!! The beauty of the forest and seeing the gorillas in the wild was breathtaking. Robert, our planning guide, was the best at planning an unforgettable trip. He was the most responsive of all the companies that we received quotes from. He was flexible in helping us change dates of our trip last minute. Best of all he offered some of the best pricing out there. Notwithstanding being competitive on price, his service and company did not lack in quality.
We had 2 guides on our trip. One in Kenya, Dixon, and one in Uganda, Caesar!! Both of these guides were incredibly professional, and had a plethora of knowledge of the wildlife, landscape and people. Both were willing to get us the best shot possible and always seemed to put us in the right place. We had a van in Uganda and then a Land Cruiser in Kenya. Both vehicles were comfortable, which is important as we were in the vehicles sometimes 8 hours a day!! Robert met us at the end of the trip and we were able to speak with him and develop a great friendship. I can not recommend this company more! They are amazing!!

Incredible company and incredible adventure
Amazing!!! That sums up our adventure.
Africa adventure vacations and Robert were incredible to work with. Our 9 day adventure was a once in a lifetime. From action packed days on safaris to community interactions in the afternoon. We saw the big 5 and then some. My favorite was silver back gorilla trekking. It had been a dream of mine and AAV helped make it a reality. Don’t miss adding it on to your adventure. Once we trekked to our gorillas, we got to spend an hour watching them. I was trying to take it all in. The younger ones were just as curious about us as we were them. Make sure to also hire a porter. It a great way to interact with the local community, provide jobs and lighten the load for hiking.
Our safari wouldn’t have been the same, if it wasn’t for our guide, Cesar. He kept us on schedule, he was knowledgeable and
Laughed at our jokes.

Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and great driver!
The entire experience from booking to actually seeing what we had hoped to see was awesome. Booking was easy, paying was easy. Our guide, H, picked us up and dripped us off at our doorstep. We actually saw everything we hoped to see! Elephants, lions, leopards, hippos mating! You name it, we saw it! H was an outstanding guide and even took us to a few places off the schedule. The accommodations, even the standard, was better than I expected and keep in mind Im a city girl. The staff at Pumba was super accommodating and pleasant. Be prepared for the nature walk. Get some good sturdy hiking shoes. Sneakers may not serve you well on the slopes you will have to climb. Its a loooong drive from east/central Uganda but worth it as it gives you a chance to actually see the country. And no worries H is an excellent driver navigating through the city jams we encountered. I could go one but we had a lovely time. We convened with nature and relaxed for a couple of days! Don’t be frightened by the monkeys outside your cottage door. They are harmless. Oh I almost forgot, my husband is Ugandan and I am American so we straddled the equator to show how our love brought the two hemispheres together

incredibly well organized
Robert organized a private tour for my two children and another family with three (6 in total) that was incredible!! The places we saw and the places we stayed in were very nice. Our driver Frank was very warm and attentive all the time, which made our lives easier while in Uganda, he knew everybody and everybody greeted him with affection. Ugandans in general are very warm and kind people who always try to please you.
The trip was very well organized and one could tell that the Africa Adventure had a lot of experience and knew everything. I am sure we will come back in the future and we will recommend this tour operator to all our friends, since it's important, for people that have never been to Uganda, to have some good references before planning the trip. For us, African Adventure vacations has been a reliable and trustable company, and Robert and Frank are the best organizers. Thanks, Robert and Frank, for such a great experience!!! We will never forget it!!!

Just 100% perfect!
Our 2-Days trip at Murchison falls was amazing! As students, we did not have a big budget but Robert still managed to get us a wonderful trip that we won’t forget.
It was extremely well organised: we only had 2 days but we still managed to visit the main attractions.
Plus, our guide Khuzair was just amazing (best guide ever!), thanks to him we saw so many animals and ate lots of delicious local food.
Communication with Robert was also so easy, always keen to answer any questions, regardless of the time.
We highly recommend Africa Adventure Vacations, they are professional and we could not have expected better for our trip!

Excellent 12-days Uganda with Gorilla/Chimps /NP
Robert and also Ceasar, our Guide, did an excellent job. They are extremely reliable, trustworthy and respond to emails promptly. Ceasar is a „walking encyclopaedia“! You can ask him everything! Robert‘s Organisation of our 12 day trip was over the top. The luxury lodges were very well chosen, as well as the extensive program. It was very individual and they react to every special request. As always, there are minor problems along the way. For example a bridge was closed and we have to take the ferry. That would have meant several hours of waiting Ceasar has solved it with several phone calls very individual, so we were able to continue our program as planned. Customer satisfaction comes first!
I will extremely recommend Africa Adventure Vacations. I have been to africa several times but this agency was the best!!

Best adventure
We had a very memorable gorilla safari with AAV. Our guide Najib was kind and knowledgeable about the destination. Our budget wasn’t big but the company booked us in nice lodges during our trip. We will come back soon for a longer safari in Uganda
