The best services you could wish for!
5/5

2 friends and I booked the one-week safari tour including the chimpanzees and the gorilla trekking.
The week was simply fantastic!
We saw the Big Fives after just a few days. Sometimes just a few meters away.
The absolute highlight were the mountain gorillas. After a short trek, we came across a family with over 15 mountain gorillas.

The service, accommodations and food were even better than expected.
The entire process went smoothly via Charity.
The knowledge of the country, the politics, the sights and everything around it from our tour guides Rogers and Syson was amazing. So we were able to get to know Uganda from the most beautiful side.

After the week-long tour, you gave us further recommendations and even accompanied us and helped us out for our second week in Kampala and Jinja.

100% recommendation!

They are hospitable and professional
5/5

We planned a visit to Ssesse Islands(Kalangala) with a group of friends and Rumara facilitated the entire experience. Our main duty turned out as only the booking itself. Everything else was planned and executed meticulously by Rumara. We were booked on the state of the art MV Brovad from Entebbe to Kalangala and back. We were accomodated in a facility that did not only meet but exceeded my expectations. They planned exciting activities during the visit including a boat cruise to Bukasa island where several bird species were sighted along the route. All in all, the experience was one to reminisce for good.

Experienced and professional
5/5

I recently had the pleasure of booking an international travel experience through Rumara safaris, and I must say that the service provided by the company was outstanding. From the initial inquiry to the end of my trip, Syson owomugisha the tour operator demonstrated
professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to ensuring a memorable and seamless travel experience.
I embarked on a Uganda airlines flight to Kilimanjaro and was picked up for Arusha in Tanzania, it was truly an awe-inspiring experience. One of the most thrilling aspects of this trip was the opportunity to have a glimpse of the beautiful mountain Kilimanjaro and also immersing myself in the Swahili culture. From the moment I stepped foot in at Kilimanjaro airport to Gran Melia hotel Arusha ( The quality of accommodation selected by this company exceeded my expectations). I was greeted with a vibrant tapestry of customs, traditions, and Kiswahili language "KARIBU" which means welcome. Exploring this part of Tanzania was a constant source of excitement.
Syson Owomugisha kept checking in to make sure everything was going as planned and that I was having fun. To anyone looking for a carefully thought-out, engaging, and hassle-free vacation experience, I would strongly recommend him.

Professional and passionate.
5/5

I have used Rumara Safaris for all my trips to Kalangara(3) and QENP, and Fortportal. For all this period(over three years), they have always provided professional drivers, comfort able vehicles and booked worthy hotel facilities. One of their operators Syson is very passionate about tourism and to him, it's a service, not a business. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Gorilla Trek and Queen Elizabeth Park Safari
5/5

My wife and I booked our Gorilla Trek and Queen Elizabeth Park Safari with Rumara in February 2020. The driver Onesmus and Charity from the office met us in Entebbe and took us to Bwindi National Park. We were treated so well that I felt like a life long friend. The driver/guide was most knowledgeable in regards to all animal life.
The accomodation was excellent at 3 locations. We managed to view a family of 14 Mountain Gorillas at Bwindi. This was the most unbelievable experience we have ever had. We then stayed a night at Lake Bunyonyi and enjoyed beautiful scenery and a relaxing atmosphere. Our last visit was to Queen Elizabeth National Park where we had spectacular close up views of herds of Elephants and also saw the tree climbing lions. These are very rare and was another highlight moment.
We were also treated to the Kazinga channel boat ride where we viewed Buffalo, Hippos, Elephants and many bird types. Nile crocodiles were also seen on the bank.
I would definitely book again with this company. We couldn't have been treated better or had more informative guides. Many thanks to Charity and Onesmus.

Incredible experience in a short time frame
5/5

My experience with Rumara Safaris was fantastic. They were very communicative and were willing to drive to our hotel for us to pay to reserve our tour while we were in the middle of a workshop. Our driver/guide went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience possible and were able to see more animals then we ever expected! My colleague and I only had 48 hours between workshops we were running in Entebbe, and Rumara Safaris were able to squeeze the most they could into our short time frame. Highly recommend!

Great team and of course a beautiful country. If you ever decided to go there (and I highly recommend to do so) ask for Charity and George and they'll make sure you get the best Safari.

I had an excellent trip to Murchison Falls National Park. It felt a lot like traveling with friends. Even though the ferry was not running, they managed to do the full program.
