AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!
5/5

If you’re considering going on Safari in Uganda, don’t hesitate and book your tour with Africa Adventure Vacations! Robert took care of all of our arrangements and planning prior to our arrival from USA. He maintained excellent communication with my husband and accommodated any changes to the itinerary we requested. Upon arrival we received a nice welcome and met our driver and guide Najib!

8 days on the road with Najib was pleasurable and adventurous, he is the best driver, person, and nature enthusiast! Ask for Najib, you won’t regret it! Together we experienced Uganda by visiting 4 national parks seeing Rhinos, Chimps, Gorillas, Giraffes, Elephants, Hippos, Lions, and Buffalos to name a few! Bring a pair of binoculars, how I wish I had brought a pair! We also took a ride down the Nile River toward Murchison Falls-the most powerful waterfall in the world. We visited a banana plantation and tasted banana juice/wine/beer/gin! We learned about Ugandan coffee and roasted it with one of the best coffee growers in the area. Everyday was a new experience which I will remember for all of my life.

If your ready for a lifetime experience, then make it happen! I’ll go back to Uganda again and without a doubt will have Robert and Najib help in planning my trip.

Unique experience with great service!!!!!
5/5

We had a lovely honeymoon due to the excellent organization of Africa Adventure Vacations!! The communication with Robert was unbelievable before we had our trip. I could ask him every question. Ceasar (our guide) made our trip unbelievable!! He did everything so that we could enjoy our honeymoon. His experience with driving in national parks gave us some nice views on several beautiful animals in the wild. Even when my wife was day a little bit sick, his flexibility and effort was unbelievable so that we had no worries. I would recommend anyone to book with this great company.

THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES THANK TO CAESAR AND ROBERT
5/5

They are the best tour agency ever! my fiance and I did the 10 days around Uganda tour, with gorilla and chimpanzee tracking. All was organized by Robert, he is a great person, kind, he helped us all the way with the visa, the tour, the dates, we did everything for us. We spent the 10 days with our guide/driver Caesar in a comfortable van. I think he is one of the best people I met in my life. What a guide!, the best ever, he loves his job and that makes the experience unforgetable, he finds animals miles away, he always knows where to go, how to find them, he is always smiling and helping you all the way. It wouldnt be the same experience without Caesar and Robert, we are so glad we chose them. Uganda is a beautiful country with a lot thing to see, the people is so kink, the medium range lodges were AMAZING, delicious food. I promise evertyhing was perfect, I wouldnt change a bit. Murchinson falls and Queen elizabeth are beutiful, a lot of animals nearby. The chimps and gorilla trekking were a life changing experience is a MUST, and there a a lot activities to know the local people and their culture. I hope a see Robert and Ceasar again. You must do this tour if you can, you wont regret it.

We went on two safaris for our honeymoon and this was by far THE BEST.
5/5

My wife Julianna and I went on our honeymoon in Uganda. Khuzair was THE BEST safari guide ever. We left as friends. He was so knowledgeable, funny, professional, and fun to be around. A safari requires a lot of time in the car and we were so happy to spend our time with Khuzair and Africa Adventure Vacations.

Great 3 days gorilla tour
5/5

I had a trip with AAV for 3 days to bwindi and our driver Ceasar was the best. He is very knowledgeable about most cultural, wildlife and primates.
We spent a very comfortable night at Bakiga lodge and the staff we all welcoming and friendly
On our tracking date, we saw a family gorillas with infacts. My husband felt so special when a young gorilla touched his shoulders!
We will come back to uganda for a longer tour since the country has a lot to offer

Best tour ever
5/5

We booked an individual 4 day tour through the Murchison Falls NP with African Adventure Vacation.

From the first letter with Robert to the end of the tour with Ceasar, everything went to our complete satisfaction!

In the written preliminary discussion, Robert replied very quickly to many e-mails and when planning the tour he responded to all of our wishes and made many things possible that we hardly thought possible.

On the ground in Uganda, we cannot think of a better guide than Ceasar. He speaks excellent English, which we could understand very well and he has a great, extensive knowledge of animals and plants and Uganda in general. We will always remember the game drives with Ceasar. Through him we saw many animals that we would certainly not have noticed on our own. The night drive with the sighting of so many animals was also impressive, including a large leopard, a lioness with her cubs, elephants, a hyena, porcupines and and and ... The conversations with Ceasar told us a lot about the country and its people. We had the feeling that Caesar himself was enjoying our tour. In the end it wasn't a goodbye to a guide for us, but to a friend. He made the tour very special for us.

Thanks to Robert and a very big thank you to Ceasar.

Hopefully we can tour with you again in the future.

Unmatched experience
5/5

Africa adventure vacations is the best travel agency is have ever delt with. We consistently rescheduled our travel time ever since the outbreak of covid 19 but they never got tired of our changes. Robert was very helpful and understanding. He customized our gorilla package to the best of our needs.
Buffalo safari lodge and bakiga lodge were so outstanding as we had a birthday day surprise cake from both lodges and their staff were welcoming.

Encountering the mountain gorillas in bwindi made our safari day so special.

We will definitely recommend your services to friends and relatives

Unforgettable Kenya Safari and Uganda Gorilla Trekking Experience!
5/5

The gorilla trekking was absolutely AMAZING!! The beauty of the forest and seeing the gorillas in the wild was breathtaking. Robert, our planning guide, was the best at planning an unforgettable trip. He was the most responsive of all the companies that we received quotes from. He was flexible in helping us change dates of our trip last minute. Best of all he offered some of the best pricing out there. Notwithstanding being competitive on price, his service and company did not lack in quality.

We had 2 guides on our trip. One in Kenya, Dixon, and one in Uganda, Caesar!! Both of these guides were incredibly professional, and had a plethora of knowledge of the wildlife, landscape and people. Both were willing to get us the best shot possible and always seemed to put us in the right place. We had a van in Uganda and then a Land Cruiser in Kenya. Both vehicles were comfortable, which is important as we were in the vehicles sometimes 8 hours a day!! Robert met us at the end of the trip and we were able to speak with him and develop a great friendship. I can not recommend this company more! They are amazing!!

Incredible company and incredible adventure
5/5

Amazing!!! That sums up our adventure.

Africa adventure vacations and Robert were incredible to work with. Our 9 day adventure was a once in a lifetime. From action packed days on safaris to community interactions in the afternoon. We saw the big 5 and then some. My favorite was silver back gorilla trekking. It had been a dream of mine and AAV helped make it a reality. Don’t miss adding it on to your adventure. Once we trekked to our gorillas, we got to spend an hour watching them. I was trying to take it all in. The younger ones were just as curious about us as we were them. Make sure to also hire a porter. It a great way to interact with the local community, provide jobs and lighten the load for hiking.

Our safari wouldn’t have been the same, if it wasn’t for our guide, Cesar. He kept us on schedule, he was knowledgeable and
Laughed at our jokes.

Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and great driver!
5/5

The entire experience from booking to actually seeing what we had hoped to see was awesome. Booking was easy, paying was easy. Our guide, H, picked us up and dripped us off at our doorstep. We actually saw everything we hoped to see! Elephants, lions, leopards, hippos mating! You name it, we saw it! H was an outstanding guide and even took us to a few places off the schedule. The accommodations, even the standard, was better than I expected and keep in mind Im a city girl. The staff at Pumba was super accommodating and pleasant. Be prepared for the nature walk. Get some good sturdy hiking shoes. Sneakers may not serve you well on the slopes you will have to climb. Its a loooong drive from east/central Uganda but worth it as it gives you a chance to actually see the country. And no worries H is an excellent driver navigating through the city jams we encountered. I could go one but we had a lovely time. We convened with nature and relaxed for a couple of days! Don’t be frightened by the monkeys outside your cottage door. They are harmless. Oh I almost forgot, my husband is Ugandan and I am American so we straddled the equator to show how our love brought the two hemispheres together
