Skilled and caring guide. Flexible booking.
We booked a 2-day Selous private safari to spend between two connecting flights. A tight schedule to catch the flight home. Heavy rain made the roads really bad, so the company made a last minute change in the itinerary so we could get the most of the safari and still manage to catch the flight. This meant the driver had to get up at 3 AM to pick us up. Took about 5 hours to get to the park.
Our driver and guide was Emanuel. Nice, funny, safe driver and with very good knowledge. Told things about most birds, trees, animals and about the culture. Very responsive in what we wanted to do. He could sense when we wanted to stop for photos etc. Saw zebras, giraffes, warthogs, crocodiles, hippos, African buffalos, monkeys, baboons and much more. There were tracks after elephants and Emanuel really struggled to find elephants and lions, but we had bad luck. That's nature...
There was a short boat trip after the first day's driving. Birds, crocodiles and lots of hippos. The lodge to spend the night was titled "budget", but it was really luxurious. Big rooms, modern design with big panorama windows, good food, pool etc. Really nice.
The second day started with an hour walk with a bushman who explained the details in the nature. Showed tracks, insects and what have been worshiped and used as medicine.
Because of the road condition we went back earlier than planned, but we felt that we got a really nice experience and didn't mind going back. There was so much we had seen and learned. Emanuel made sure we had fruit, lunch and water. But skipped lunch himself in order to get back in time, which we did without feeling stressed.

Thinashe is a very good tour guider. He is knowledgeable, reliable and takes good care of clients.
The service and the tour are good. But the price is little bit higher.

The tour operator was very friendly and pleasurable.
The trip was very well-managed. There was a good selection of accommodations and restaurants. The tour operator made small appropriate changes to the trip based on our wishes and the tour operator maintained very good communication with our family throughout the entire trip. The trip was entirely worth the money.

This is the best team. I'm absolutely delighted.
Everything was great from the start. We had a very cool driver, Johny Jackson. We quickly got to the place. And he showed us the best safari! We met all the animals from Africa's Big Five. As well as other various animals. They also took some cool photos. If you get there, you will have the best safari of your life! I recommend it from the bottom of my heart.
I would also like to note that the service in the hotels where we stayed was at the highest level. Delicious food, beautiful locations, friendly staff. I liked everything so much that I will definitely come back again!

A good travel companion who is able to make you feel comfortable and add value to your trip.
As solo traveller and passionate wild life photographer, I travelled through Uganda for 11 days with Richard, a 15 years experienced guide with whom I had preliminarily made contact and defined the details of the trip during the booking stage.
The tour was well organized with sufficient time for relaxing and enjoying the places after tiring days spent on game drives, various wild life activities such as Mountain Gorillas trekking and long driving sessions to reach the next destination. It was also possible to adapt the program based on short notice requests/developments to suit weather conditions and/or travelling schedule; this added value to the experience and made it feel like not pre-packaged but authentic and more intriguing.
I would personally reccommend Karumuna Safaris for the fair value for money and the extensive knowledge and experience of his guide Richard who always showed a high level of preparedeness and availability to respond to the traveller's requests.

Incredible from start to finish
The experience was once in a lifetime and seeing the animals will make you excited to be alive. This tour operator was consistently fast to respond to queries when arranging the trip, and the tour guide also answered any questions I had and was extremely knowledgeable about the animals having done the job for 10+ years (Bashir). The chef was cooking delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner (Ashraf). I can’t recommend this experience enough and there were no hidden additional costs - it’s all covered!
