Excellent experience all around, 10/10
I recently completed a two day tour with Kaara Adventures — one day in Volcanoes NP in Rwanda to see the golden monkeys and the second day in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda to see the mountain gorillas. Farouk, our driver and guide, was incredibly kind and helpful and knowledgeable, making sure everything along the way was perfect. He offered to stop as much as we liked to take photographs along the drive and answered all of our questions about life in Rwanda and Uganda. Before our treks, he made sure we had all that we needed including water and packed lunches. If you can complete the tour with Farouk, I highly recommend this. Leading up to the trip, the staff at Karaa Adventures were extremely responsive via email and WhatsApp, so I never really had any doubts that I wasn’t in good hands. The gorilla trek in Bwindi easily ranks as one of my top favorite travel experiences to date. Grateful to Farouk and to Kaara Adventures for such a great experience. Strongly recommend.
Priceless experience!
I am very happy I booked my tour with Kaara Adventures.
The communication ahead of the tour was perfect, and arrangements were made on short notice.
Payment options were flexible to suit my preferred method.
On the day at the start of the tour driver/guide Gerald arrived timely to the accommodation in Kigali to pick me up.
The drive started towards the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda with stops for photos of the beautiful views.
Having walked into the park to spot the golden monkeys we set off towards the Ugandan border where the clearance and immigration process was smooth.
After having crossed into Uganda I was asked what type of lunch I preferred and we stopped at a local restaurant to eat typical Ugandan food.
Reaching Bwindi in the late afternoon the lodge that was arranged was perfect, comfortable rooms with wonderful beds, great food, and professional staff.
The second day we set off for the gorilla trekking which was a totally awesome experience! After relaxing and eating the packed lunch we started the drive back to Rwanda.
Gerald the guide/driver has a lot of knowledge and can share much information about the places we saw on the way, there was plenty of drinking water provided during the two days, and the driving style was safe and comfortable also on the dirt roads.
Can only recommend Kaara adventures, especially for the communication/information ahead of the tour, and also due to the fact that the tour was executed exactly as promised keeping high quality throughout.

Unforgettable journey through Uganda's "Trekking with Gorillas" tour
It will be an experience you will never forget! My guide Dismus made it fantastic, going over and beyond to allow me to capture the real essence of this experience and making me comfortable all the way. A big thank you to the Rangers who are doing a great job taking care of the gorillas while allowing us tourist to have a taste of their daily life. Highly recommended!

Great experience with golden monkeys & gorillas
I had a great time with Kaara Adventures. They were very accommodating with my late booking, and Farouk was a helpful & generous guide throughout the two-day trip from Kigali to Mwindi and back. Keen to book with them again in the future!

Good
Amazing trip. The gorillas and chimps were incredible and totally worth the money.
The lodges were really nice and comfortable and provided most good food.
The driver eddie was very good.
I would however check the distances and ensure you have enough time to do what you want. We initally planned to do a chimp trek and then get an afternoom flight which was not viable when we arrived although kaara had said it was. They did however find a solution for us.

Caring and very attentive
Faruk was always concerned that we were comfortable but vigilent that we made all activities in a timely manner. He stopped where we needed to take photos too...we enjoyed our time with him and the activities

Great Trip
We went on a 2 day adventure to see Golden Monkeys in Rwanda and then Gorillas in Uganda. Our Driver, Dismus, was the best. He went above and beyond to make it one of the best trips. He took us to share gifts with local children and see different places that was not on the itinerary. He knew so much about both countries and about the animals and plants and was great. Booking was very easy also.
