Gorilla Trek Bwindi Uganda
We had a great time with Kaara. Jose did an excellent job communicating with prompt emails and suggestions of hotels and area attractions. Our tour guide Samuel was awesome. He always made us feel comfortable during whole trip. He was knowledgeable of the area and very agreeable to the requests of his guest. He went out of his way to help us and thus have a great time with him. Also, he came back to our hotel when we were leaving after the day after the tour, and drive us around the city, then to airport. We felt we had made a true friend. We plan to do another tour with Samuel within the next few years!!

Memorable Gorilla trekking in Uganda
Jose worked with us to help to get our tour just right and fine. We were going to start in Kigali, but we planned to go Uganda as tis easy to see the gorillas and it was more affordable than Rwanda. Samuel pickedup us from our hotel as per plan and then go for routine. He was a fantastic guide and driver. Rwanda and Uganda have a beautiful countryside. In just within 5feet we got several gorillas. In that family we visited had 2 Silverbacks. On that following day, we also went to Volcanoes Park in Rwanda to have a look at golden monkeys. Lodging and food was of first class and we had a fantastic trip. I have already recommended Kaara Adventures and Jose to some of my friends. If you get a chance to go gorilla trekking - do it with Kaara!

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!

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!

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.

.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.

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!

.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!

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.
