A family adventure discovering the beauty of the Pearl of Africa
5/5

We went on a one week safaris with Kombitours in April 2017 and had Tom as our guide. We were 4 adults and 4 children aged between 2 and 12 years. It was a wonderful family adventure and Tom made sure that everything went smoothly so that we could relax and enjoy Uganda's amazing wildlife and breathtaking scenery. Whenever we had a special request, Tom did his utmost to make sure it was satisfied and we really appreciated that. Overall, we were very impressed by the child friendly service we got everywhere we went. We recommend this trip and our guide Tom to all families traveling with children and looking for a bit of adventure. Thank you Kombitours!

Far beyond expectations
5/5

We booked a budget 3 day safari to Murchison Falls National Park with Kombi Nation, as a side activity to our stay in Uganda. They were great during the booking process, as we knew nothing about what was available or even what we really wanted to do - they presented options and helped us work through them (with a lot of patience). The trip itself was well beyond what we expected for a budget tour, including the vehicle, accommodation, knowledge of the driver/guide, food and the wildlife experience.

Excellent weekend getaway to Murchison Falls
5/5

I booked a three day group tour to Murchison Falls and was extremely impressed with the overall quality of the trip. The driver was kind and attentive, the park stunningly beautiful, and the accommodation comfortable and relaxing. The tour was incredible value for money, and has been one of my favourite holidays in east Africa ever.

Reliable, safe & comfortable travelling to, & in, Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda.
5/5

I was impressed with the ease of booking my safari & the personal service was excellent & reassuring. The information provided was inclusive & very useful. The safari vehicle was comfortable with a constant supply of water & the driver was very accomplished at his job. He was helpful & very co operative.
The Murchison Falls 3 day safari was well planned & packed with memorable experiences. The middle range accommodation at the Lodge was clean & comfortable, the food was excellent. I would have no reservations about recommending Kombitours.

Excellent value for money - 3 day Murchison Falls NP safari
5/5

My wife and I did this 3 day safari only a few days ago. Kombi Tours were very helpful, sending us many documents with all kinds of information about how the trip would be, what our itinerary would be and how to prepare etc.

Our drive, Tom, was thoroughly professional and took care of everything for us. He picked us up at a backpacker hotel in Kampala and even drove us back to our place elsewhere in Kampala when the safari was over.

While the safari sounds short, you will see a lot in those 3 days. The park is packed with herds of Uganda Kobs, Hartebeests, waterbucks, water buffalo, hippos, elephants, giraffes, baboons, warthogs... we saw two lions next to an eaten antelope carcass trying to digest, we saw tons of elephants, they even crossed the road and approached the car... the baboons and warthogs you can get super close to at the river crossings.

Of course all manner of birds... guinea fowl, vultures...hundreds of different species.

If you are lucky you can also see leopard and shoebill stork.

We took the rhino tour and that was very special. Is it worth 90 USD for two..? Hard to say, but it is an experience and the money goes towards the breeding of these animals which they hope to reintroduce to the NP in about 10 years, followed by introduction to other NP's in Uganda.

The lodgings (tent inside of a straw roofing) were very comfortable, the food was excellent as well.

Of course, the boat ride to the bottom of the falls, and the drive up to the top of the falls the day after, were spectacular.

Ok so while Murchison Falls isn't Serengeti / Masai Mara, which are the pinnacle NP's (my impression from reading), you also pay much, much less for for this one, and I definitely recommend it whole heartedly, because we had a great time. I think the price is very reasonable!

I enjoyed every minute of my days around Uganda, partially because of the incredible service
5/5

I was looking forward to going around Uganda and every expectation was satisfied. The services were very good in all the hotels. The driver was very helpful everyday and took care of every detail so we were able to relax and enjoy the landscape. Everyone in the safaris went out of their ways to help us and make us feel at home

Wonderful experience
5/5

We found KombiNation Tours while searching for Budget-Safaris to Queen Elisabeth National Park. And we were glad we did find them. Everything was perfect: we booked pretty short term, but everything went of without a hitch. The accomodations were wonderful, we loved the activities, especially the boatlaunch was simply amazing.
Rachel and Steve (whom we met shortly) are very friendly and advised us very well. All in all it was a great experience and absolutly recommendable

Amazing trip!
5/5

We had a fantastic trip with Kombi Nation Tours. Customer service by Rachel and Steven building our trip was excellent. Very accommodating. The safari itself was great. We had a wonderful guide who was incredibly knowledgeable. The lodges Kombi chose were gorgeous, the wildlife we saw in Queen Elizabeth NP was unbelievable, the trip on the whole far exceeded our already high expectations.

Thanks to Rachel we spent 13 wonderful days in Uganda. It was our first time in this most beautiful country. Medhy was an amazing driver and guide, always making sure everyone was ok and happy.

Rachel has been terrific during the preparation of our journey, always kind and and full of good advices. The lodges we stayed in were unbelievable, the good very good and staff always smiling and kind.

Highly recommended!
5/5

We, a young couple in their 30s from Germany, just came back from an unforgettable holiday adventure in Uganda with memories, which last for a lifetime. It has been an 'once in a lifetime' experience to view some of the rare mountain gorillas and humans' closest living relatives, the chimpanzees, in their natural habitat and looking them into their eyes. You will never forget this moment, for sure! Many thanks to The Adventure Committee (TAC), which made this such a wonderful trip. It couldn’t had been better. From planning to conducting, all was excellent. I highly recommend this tour provider. The contact with Steve, manager of TAC, in advance via email was perfect. He always replied prompt to all our questions and realized all our suggestions. TAC is reliable and has a good price-performance ratio. All choosen restaurants, we stopped at while driving, and all accommodations were good.

Last but not least I want to say thank you to our guide and driver Tom. While travelling through beautiful Uganda Tom drove us safe through the green countryside despite of the sometimes hard road conditions. Tom is a friendly and obliging young guy, who loves his job, Stoney and ginger biscuits. We had a great time with him while he showed us his home county. We were sad, that we had to leave. If we come back to Uganda sometime, we would choose TAC again, for sure! So if you are still not sure whether to visit Uganda, just go, you won't regret it, and TAC is a good companion.
