Unforgettable experience
It was my first time in Uganda. We had fantastic 3-Day Uganda Gorilla and Wildlife Safari with Richard, including transfers, lunch, accommodation. Must say great people, an incredible place, much more incredible than I ever imagined and thanks to Karumuna Safaris who greatly helped make this experience unforgettable with his great service, highly recommended.

Top-notch safari experience.
I was very nervous because i have never been on safari. many people recommended Karumuna safaris to me for amazing experience, i contacted them and they replied me shortly. the management team was very flexible and helpful, they planned a 5 days safari for us. the food was very delicious, we got to see the wildlife we wanted to see. both the driver and guide were very experienced and knowledgeable. i highly recommend Karumuna safaris for amazing safari.

Higly recommened!!
It was more then a journey but a life expirience! Uganda is one of the most beautiful places we ever seen and its people are amazing! Karumuna Safaris will make every wish come true. Game drive in queen elizabeth national park, gorilla trekking, sunrise walking in lake mburu national park and some other more.
Richard best guide ever!

They delivered the schedule but with many unapproved changes
I booked an 8 day safari. They kept the schedule but made changes without informing me or the driver.
I paid more money to secure a Landcruiser, but instead got a van in a bad state which kept breaking down throughout the trip.
Lodges were changed without informing me. After driving almost 20hours, we got to the lodge and they didn't have any reservation for me. We had to wait 1 hour until they told us where to go.
Also water was supposed to be included, i never got any. On the last day, there was no activity or food (even though on the schedule there was activities and food included)
When I complained about this, Richard responded with "I know, I'm sorry" and that was it. No compensation, no solution found. Just meant that's how it is, deal with it.
I wouldn't book with them again, but they did drive me from place to place.

Friendly and willing to please you and assist you with any matter
I booked a seven days safari trip with Karumuna Safaris visiting Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi Impenetrable forest and Lake Mburo. Since the first moment I got in touch with Richard, he was flexible to made some changes in the itinerary and made the trip really easy. Due to some personal issues I had to cancel my trip and reschedule it for a month later without any problem.Even having experienced some issues in one of the game drives, spending an hour without any other tourists around with the gorillas definitely made my trip an unforgettable experience.
Fair price paid for an interesting week discovering what Uganda has to offer!

Great destinations, a lot of waiting with little communication
The tour got us where we wanted to go, there were several times where we were asked to wait, tour guide disappeared for long periods of time without providing us information as to what we could do in this time (for example explore) accommodation had been changed and we only discovered this upon arrival at the accommodation. Despite booking a triple share tour this had not been prepared at each location. The vehicle itself left a fair bit to be desired and let us down. There were frustrations which we discussed with the tour guide as they arose. We seen what we set out to see so for that we are grateful. However I don’t believe we really got value for money given the time wasted and missed opportunities as a result. I wouldn’t be opposed to booking with Karumuna again however I would require clearer confirmation on what we should expect.

It was stunning and UNIQUE!
Me and my parents had an amazing safari week tour with Mr. Richard Kisembo. It was one of our best trips in Uganda. He responded to our needs and we always felt safe. Our accommodations were very nice and the staff was absolutely courteous. If there is a any chance to come back, we would choose him again. Thank you for this great adventure experience and making our journey unforgettable, stay blessed! Big hug from switzerland

Uganda Wildlife experience at its best
Did a 10-day tour through western Uganda with guide Ashadu. Booked a small group trip, but due to circumstances ended up as a solo tour. Ashadu made sure I was very safe and comfortable during the whole trip. He discussed the planning well in advance, as well as being very flexible to weather conditions/energy etc.
Had a lot of opportunities to spot the best wildlife in Uganda.
Staying in a lot of different lofts and hotels, and all were very fine and on nice locations. Food on the way was very enjoyable, with a lot of new things to try.
With a few days left after this 10-day trip, I contacted Richard to offer me a small tour to Jinja and Sipi-falls. I switched from tourguide Ashadu to Richard and enjoyed my last days in Uganda also very well.
They were flexible with my budget.
