Fantastic Service and Amazing Experience
Samuel was quick to respond to any questions and make a trip plan that suited exactly what I wanted. Two days in Bwindi with a visit to Lake Bunyonyi. He was helpful with booking the tour and tailoring it to suit. The 5 day gorilla trek (2 gorilla treks) and 2 nights at Lake Bunyonyi was a once in a life time experience. despite some challenging weather conditions which made the roads bad, Richard my driver, made sure I made it safely for the gorillas (with some extra walking). The only thing to be clear on at the start is to make sure your driver and you are on the same page for expectation of the trip. I had an extra person from the company join my trip but I was never really sure why. Supposedly to help with accommodations and ensure service but I didnt see anything that qualified as that. Also make sure you take Ugandan Shillings to tip people and in case of similar road conditions pay for motorbike lifts or help with bogged cars.
Great communications and good value for money.

Incredible Experience, Just Keep Your Eyes Open
Samuel was very responsive to my initial inquiries and very helpful with booming the tour and navigating my malleable pickup plans. The 3 day gorilla trek with a night at Lake Bunyoni was a (wait for it) once in a life time experience and I was thrilled to have the incomparable Moses Medrad as my guide -- ask for him by name. With Moses I not only had a knowledgeable driver, I got to witness an upstanding member of his community take me around his home. The only thing to be wary of is is at the START of the journey make sure your guide and you are on the same page for expectation of itinerary -- the deal I had with Samuel was to drop me off in Kampala, but Moses was only told to take me to Kabale (a difference of about 9 hours). As fun as sitting in a car for an entire day after quibbling over a bill sounded, I just had Moses put me on a bus (which was its own safari!).

Very excellent with a good knowledge of animals
We had a good experience during our tour to uganda organised by KatsamAdventures, our good guide Ronnie bless him amazing snd so knowledgeable at tressing the animals in the park (lake Mburo national park).
We continued to Bwindi impenetable National park and it was marvellous when we went for trekking , the sliver back was so funny and protective of its family. We thank on the behalf of the team for the prompt covid 19 test resuits which we got in time and enabling us to catch our flight to london
Further more i would like to extend my warm thanks to KatsamAdventures for such epic skills to have permitted us to have such a wonderful time and we are looking forwards going back East Africa in particular uganda for more Adventures

Had an amazing experience
I had an amazing experience on tour, We were picked up promptly from our Airport. The driver who picked us up was friendly and got us to the Katsam office safely. We were then greeted and briefed very perfectly, who was warm and friendly.
Our driver and guide on the tour was awesome. He answered any questions we had, and was very knowledgeable about the park and the game that we saw. We were so lucky to view zebras, giraffes, elephants, hippos, countless antelope and buffalo. The highlight was the pride of lions we were fortunate to observe. An unforgettable experience. He got us a close to the action as possible!

Two days Murchison Safari
For work I had to be in Entebbe for a few days. Since I did not visit Uganda before I decide to book a two-days tour to Murchison. It was a great experience!
Sam, the manager of Katsam, was very responsive and extremely helpfull when I started preparing my trip. Since I was travelling alone safety was very important for me. I was in good hands with Wilson the guide who was with me for two days. It were two long intensive days but I had a wonderfull Uganda experience. I'll will be back! If you are in a position to have a few day in Uganda I highly recommend to book a safari tour with Katsam adventures.

A Wonderful and Engaging Experience
My daughter and I undertook a three day safari starting and finishing in Kigali, Rwanda. The trip was administered efficiently through email and WhatsApp. Our driver, Medard added to our enjoyment with his knowledgeable narative and engaging laugh.
A brief tour of Kigali included the Belgian Peacekeepers Memorial and the National Genocide Meemorial. A sobering reminder of mans inhumanity.
Our Gorilla Trek took place in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. Here we were hosted in a community camp and took time to visit the pygmy community and hear about their lifestyle. The gorilla trek was amazing and the National Park staff were professional and knowledgeable. Much to her delight a juvenile gorilla ran up to my daughter and slapped her leg. Magic.
Our final day was spent visiting with Golden Monkeys in Rwanda before being dropped off at our hotel.
I can thoroughly recommend the trip we did. The gorilla experience in Uganda is simple but you feel a part of the gorilla ecosystem. A mistake I made was not having enough cash for tips. These are paid to porters (if you chose to take them), the guides and the cultural groups who perform for you. It is best to have them prepared in advance.
Overall we loved this trip, it will surely be a lifelong memory.
