An unforgettable adventure—beautiful places, amazing wildlife, great memories, and stories for a lif
We recently completed an extensive safari through Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda with One More Adventure Safaris, organized by Fred Odyek. Overall, it was an outstanding and memorable African experience, covering an incredible variety of landscapes, wildlife and activities.
Our journey took us through Nairobi, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, the Masai Mara, Northern and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Arusha, followed by Uganda, where we visited Kibale, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi and Lake Mburo.
The wildlife experience in Kenya and Tanzania was exceptional. Among the many highlights were seeing thousands of wildebeest during the Great Migration, including a river crossing in the Northern Serengeti; numerous lion prides and cubs; cheetahs, including a mother with very young cubs; a cheetah hunt and kill; a leopard resting in a tree; elephants, giraffes, rhinos, buffalo, hippos, zebras and many other animals. We even witnessed an unsuccessful lion hunt on a buffalo. These were experiences we will remember for the rest of our lives.
Uganda provided a completely different experience and complemented the Kenya/Tanzania safari very well. Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale, game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the journey through southwestern Uganda and, above all, gorilla trekking in Bwindi were major highlights. Seeing mountain gorillas in their natural habitat was one of the most extraordinary experiences of the entire trip.
Our Uganda driver/guide deserves special recognition. When our safari vehicle developed a problem, he quickly arranged another vehicle and driver so that we lost very little safari time. His resourcefulness and commitment to keeping our trip on schedule were greatly appreciated.
Fred did an excellent job putting together a complicated multi-country itinerary. Coordinating transportation, border crossings, accommodations, safari vehicles, guides and activities for such a long trip is not easy, and overall the arrangements worked very well. Fred was accessible and responsive when issues arose, which is particularly important on a trip of this complexity.
One area where the experience could be improved further is communication between drivers/guides and passengers. Good communication about the day’s plans, driving times, wildlife sightings, stops and any changes to the schedule can make a significant difference on a long safari. Encouraging more regular interaction between drivers and passengers would make an already excellent experience even better.
The accommodations ranged from comfortable hotels to tented safari camps in spectacular locations, and staying close to the wildlife added enormously to the experience. Traveling overland through Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda also allowed us to see much more than just the national parks—the landscapes, villages and everyday life along the way became an important part of the journey.
This was a long and ambitious safari, and by the end we felt that we had experienced an extraordinary cross-section of East Africa: the great savannas and migration of Kenya and Tanzania, the primates and lush landscapes of Uganda, and an astonishing variety of wildlife throughout.
We would recommend One More Adventure Safaris and Fred Odyek, particularly for travelers looking for a customized, multi-country East African safari. Fred and his team worked hard to make our journey successful, and we came away with countless unforgettable experiences and memories.
Thank you, Fred and the One More Adventure team, for helping make this an adventure of a lifetime.

A soul shifting experience
What an incredibly rich, immersive experience of Rwanda organized and supported by One More Adventures. From the moment we were collected at the airport finding thoughtful gift bags on our vehicle seats, to organizing the trekking and tours, to adding to our itinerary when flights were changed, to ensuring coffee and bathroom breaks while we travelled, to fixing any problems as they arose....nothing is too big or small for this company. Super approachable, easy to chat to ensure your best experience. There are no hidden costs - all tours and museum entrance fees are included making it easy to budget. If you can, allow for an extra day or two after your gorilla trek and chat to Fred about where else you can go and what you can see. There is so much - this country is magnificent!

Knowledge self catering and understanding to your interests and budget, the absolute best service.
I had the most amazing and joyful experience with Fred and his team! He provided great service and knowledge in which I am truely grateful for. Designing my entire trip to fit my interests and my budget I was able to summit some incredible volcanos in Rwanda and Uganda and lucky enough to meet some mountain gorillas on my trek!!! Nelson my driver was incredible. Not only did he get from A to B he was full of wisdom and glad to have him share it along the way! After hours of hiking there were always snacks water and fruit waiting for me which I was very thankful for. I couldn’t have asked for a better guy to take me around this beautiful part of the world! I can’t recommend these guys enough to anyone who wants to explore this region. You will not regret it, One more adventures will make your trip 10 times better.

One Amazing Adventure in Rwanda and Uganda
I always wanted to go to Rwanda after watching “Gorillaz in the mist,” many years ago. So I began to do my usual detail planning ( online research, hours of You Tube, Google Maps …etc) when a good friend stated that I should STOP my planning and simply use “One More Adventure”.
One more adventure, provided us a wonderful trip to Rwanda and Uganda. Below are my reasons in retrospect to use them
1. DETAIL ORIENTED- The things you don’t think of , One More Adventure will - all behind the scenes and you will only realize this when you’re on your trip. Provides a detail plan based on my needs. He also provided me a list of things to consider when packing.
2. Trustworthy - Fred delivers on what he promises. There are no hidden fees or agenda. He truly wants you to be happy and does everything in his power.
3. Safety and Security- huge concern as I have never been to these countries and US Consulate, friends , family and colleagues would raise many concerns. He made me feel at easy. I had nothing to worry about.
4. My physical limitations- I told him I have a bad back - he made sure the vechile was such that I could comfortably travel .
5. QUICK TO RESPOND - Fred was quick to answer my questions and concerns.
6. Finds out what you want and customizes your trip.
7. SECRET WEAPON - Our guide / driver / everything, Derrick !!! He was amazing. Just a wonderful human being with a kind soul and is very knowledgeable. Extremely helpful.
8. FOOD - Make sure you eat the pineapples and mangoes - just to die for. The grilled pork was excellent. Just tell Fred and Derrick what you want and they will make it happen.
9. It was our 30 year anniversary and they made everyday special. We even did a couples photo shoot which Derrick took the pictures- they turned out beautiful.
The bad for our trip was that we had some days when the rain really came down but was fortunate that we were in the lodge or driving, it never effected the hiking experience or the time with the primates.
Both Fred and Derrick made our trip extremely comfortable and we will always have these wonderful memories which might make me want ONE MORE ADVENTURE back in Rwanda/Uganda.
