Amazing safari trip through Uganda
Our recent safari with Heart of Africa Adventure in Uganda was an unforgettable experience. From the majestic wildlife to the breathtaking landscapes, every moment was packed with awe and adventure. It all started with a full day in Murchison Falls National Park, one of Uganda’s largest and most renowned parks. We began with a game drive across the vast savannah, where we encountered herds of elephants, lions, buffaloes, and various antelope species. The highlight of the day, however, was the boat cruise along the Nile River to the base of Murchison Falls. The sight of water thundering down the narrow gorge was absolutely stunning, and we were lucky to spot hippos, crocodiles, and an impressive variety of birdlife along the way.
After our time in Murchison, we transferred to Semuliki National Park, a hidden gem known for its unique hot springs and dense forests. The drive itself was an adventure, taking us through scenic rural landscapes. Once at Semuliki, we enjoyed a nature walk to explore the park’s diverse ecosystems, which was a peaceful and immersive experience in Uganda’s natural beauty. Next, we ventured to Kibale Forest for a chimpanzee trekking experience. The forest was lush and vibrant, and our knowledgeable guide helped us spot the chimpanzees in their natural habitat. Observing them interact and hearing their calls was a truly magical experience that left me with a deep appreciation for these incredible primates.
The final leg of the trip took us to the Rwenzori Mountains for a full-day hike. Known as the “Mountains of the Moon,” this trek through dense forests, past rushing streams, and towards alpine vegetation was both challenging and rewarding. The views of snow-capped peaks and lush jungle were surreal.
From start to finish, Heart of Africa Adventure provided a seamless experience with thoughtful planning, excellent accommodations, delicious food, and expert guides. I felt safe and well cared for throughout the journey, and each stop offered something unique. If you're looking for an immersive African adventure that combines wildlife, trekking, and stunning landscapes, I highly recommend Ibra and his company. Uganda’s beauty and Heart of Africa Adventure’s exceptional service made this trip truly extraordinary.

A great way to explore Uganda!
We did a full-week trip with Ibra as co-owner of Heart of Africa Adventures, and had a truly amazing time! Ibra organized our itinerary according to our wishes, he was very flexible and patient when things took longer or did not go as planned, and always tried to find the best options for us. He is a very good and reliable driver and we felt very safe throughout the entire trip. All tours worked out very smoothly, even in remote and less touristy places. We highly recommend Heart of Africa Adventures and would totally go with Ibra again to further explore Uganda!

Gorilla adventure
Hi booked a 3 day trip to see the Gorillas in Bwindi Forest last year. An unforgettable trip which will live long in the memory. My guide Ibra was super knowledgeable about all sorts of wildlife especially the birds. The trip was 1 day there, 1 day visit and 1 day back. The drive there felt as much part of the adventure as the actual Gorilla experience as Ibra made it really enjoyable and time flew by. The gorilla experience itself was excellent. You will definitely be taken aback by being up close to a silverback. Also really encouraging to see strong ethos on conservation and protection of the gorillas from the park staff.

Considerate, customer-focused, knowledge able and skilled at spotting wildlife!
We were guided by Ibra on our 11 day safari in October 2023 which include chimp habituation tracking in Kibale and lots of time spent in the “big game” destinations of Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks.
Ibra was a pleasure to travel with throughout. I have worked in both the Safari and conservation sectors in Uganda previously, for many years, but he taught me things about the country and its wildlife and people that I didn’t know. He is great company, a considerate and careful driver, courteous and punctual and has a brilliant eye for spotting wildlife - small and large! He comes highly recommended.

A wonderful and truly memorable safari experience.
Ibra was a brilliant guide and driver for our Ugandan safari. He is an experienced, careful and very capable driver on the highway, in the parks and everything in between. He was always punctual, reliable and flexible; and he has abundant local knowledge of the parks with a wide network of contacts amongst the park guides and rangers. He is an accomplished guide in his own right, able to spot wildlife from leopards and elephants to finches and mongeese, along with a love for and knowledge of the flora and fauna that we experienced.
Ibra communicates well and has a great sense of humour. I enjoyed his company on every day of our two week safari around south and central Uganda.

A genuinely nice person who's very patient and knowledgeable
Ibra is such a great guide. He's a hard worker and is very patient. He is such a good natured guy that I've kept in touch with him ever since he took me for a tour in 2019. He drove me around all of Uganda, pointed out all the plants and animals and organised some great places for us to stop and stay. Highly recommended!
