customized private tour
I did a solo trip to Uganda and reached out to Kaara Adventures with my ideas. They came back to me quickly with a full itinerary including hotels. I literally had no work at all to prepare for my trip. The pick up from the hotel was punctual to the minute.
I want to mention my driver, Ronnie, who is a very safe driver with a great sense of humor. He was in contact with all the local businesses and scheduled all my activities during the trip. therefore i never had any waiting times or the feeling of stress. Every day he collected me from a hotel, organized my day and brought me back to a hotel in the evening safely.
The booked hotels en-route were all great and had a good standard. The car was also comfortable. It was equipped with AC and a pop-up roof for safari. Ronnie even had a portable WiFi router in the car free to use.
One day Ronnie came late but he gave me a call and informed me. He explained the reason which I understood. so i had time to finish my breakfast without any hurry. This is really good service and good communication!
Ronnie knew how the traffic would be and scheduled the activities according to his experience. Thanks to his great knowledge I learned a lot about Uganda's history, politics and mentality.
On my tour I could see victoria lake, the equator, the source of the nile, murchison falls and the national park. Here I have to mention that Ronnie did an extra game drive with me in the evening as we still had a bit of time before we drove to the hotel. This was the best experience of my entire trip. The actual game drive was scheduled the next morning with a park ranger… it was OK but not comparable with the extra drive Ronnie did the day before. Thumbs up!
The restaurants en-route were chosen wisely according to the schedule. They were overall good standards. I'd categorize it as local food but extra prepared for picky tourists. so I can't complain about the taste or hygiene standards. all perfectly chosen.
On the last day we made some changes as I had to go back to the airport and Ronnie brought me to an Italian restaurant instead of the usual local food. It was a welcomed surprise and super delicious.
Despite having a packed itinerary and a flight to catch on my last day, Ronnie managed traffic and activities and brought me to the airport perfectly in time.
without hesitation i can recommend this tour company and most notably Ronnie who made my trip a very special and worry-free adventure.

Our tour operator was patient, and determined to make our trip the best it could be.
We had and excellent experience with Kaara Adventures from the very start. They were very responsive to my questions regarding payment and timing. On the day of the trip our driver was great. He arrived a few minutes early to pick us up, and was not deterred by unexpected road closures in the area. He made sure we had time to stop at the equator first, so we could see the area. The restaurant we ate at was great, and the people were friendly. Once we made it to the park, the driver did his best to make sure we made it to the boat trip on time- it was an incredible experience. After the boat tour, we spent another couple hours driving around the park trying to see all of the different animals that lived there. We saw almost everything that day- giraffes, monkeys, warthogs, hippos, crocodiles, several different types of birds, and zebras (of course). The day was quite long- going from Kampala to Mburo Lake, but it was well worth it- exceptional value for the money, especially given the number of hours the driver spent with us. Our only regret was that we did not extend our stay to do another trip with Kaara.

.Personal attention on the tour from beginning to end
The customer service this company provide is unbelievably good. Through out complete the process of planning my trip, the owner of the company worked closely with me, as I was interested to add more and more stops to my trip. Due to this in the end, my trip was become a packed 12 days.
The guide selected for me, Samuel, took wonderful care of me. He just made it clear that he was going to make sure I’m going to saw, heard, and tasted Uganda! I saw lions, elephants, several species of monkeys, zebras, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, shoebill storks, chimps and GORILLAS. I also got a chance to visited a tribe of pygmies and met families of ex-poachers. Samuel introduced me to some Uganda delicacies; matoke, jack fruit and ground peanut sauce.
As I travelled through Uganda, I posted photos on Facebook. Now I’m inspired to have a plan with several friends for Africa adventures. I recommend this company to everyone, not only to just my Facebook friends to others also!

Adventure of Africa Tours and Gorilla tracking- in Uganda.
I was in Rwanda to see my friend for a week and contacted to Kaara Adventures, one month before to arrange a gorilla tracking tour. At first, I thought to track the gorillas in Rwanda but not enough limited time I had available for my vacation. For the solution, Jose then recommended to go to Bwindi National Park in Uganda. He organised a tour for me only - single person - private tour and truly an excellent choice! All staff at Kaara Adventures were extremely responsive to all my queries, knowledgeable in preparation of the trip and guided me professionally throughout complete tour. I am extremely happy with my gorilla experience! Thank you to Jose and Samuel at Kaara Adventures!

.Tour was Outstanding—lots of variety and diversity!
Me with my partner did an 11-day tour through Uganda and Rwanda in January, and we had an amazing time. Jose did an impeccable job coming up with a customized itinerary for us—he sent us 2 initial ideas, and in the end, we picked some pieces from both to create our ideal trip.
Our driver and guide, Samuel, was friendly and fun to be around. And the concession provided (even though we choose the most budget-friendly option) exceeded our expectations. Altogether an amazing experience. I would recommend Kaara Adventures to anyone planning a trip to either of these 2 countries.

Our 10 day tour in Uganda for gorilla trekking and visiting chimpanzees was superb.
From that particular moment we contacted with Kaara Adventures, they were efficient and courteous and understood exactly the itinerary we wanted. The accommodation was excellent – and in several cases included some of the Best lodges we have stayed in. Our driver guide Samuel could not have been better. We thoroughly enjoyed all our adventures drives with him and his company throughout. Our 10 days with this company fulfilled all our expectations and made us eager to return. I could not recommend this company highly enough. I Should also say that this company offer good value compared with many others and lastly like to thanks Karra Adventures.

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

Enjoyed our trip to the powerful Murchison falls
My husband and I, enjoyed the tour at Murchison Falls in Uganda. We did a one-way boat cruise on the river to the base of the falls and then hiked to the top. The boat ride was about 1 and 1/2 hours. Along the way we saw many birds and animals and we were given the opportunity to see them up close as the boat driver would maneuver the boat close to shore. The boat ride ends and turns around before you get really close to the base of the falls kind of unfortunate, but understandable since the falls are majestic and powerful. Then got off the boat and did the climb to the top of the falls. It took us about 45 minutes to hike to the top - which included stops in order to take pictures. It was impressive to see and feel the force of the falls. People who do not do the hike really can't get the full sense of Murchison Falls from where the boat turns around. The hike is not difficult if you are in a good shape. If your physical abilities are limited you would not want to do the hike. Our driver and guide Frank were waiting for us at the top. This was a highlight of Murchison Falls National Park for us. It's a must-do if anyone in Uganda!
