Memorable Gorilla trekking in Uganda
Nicholas worked with us to help to get our tour just right. We were going to start in Kigali, but we wanted to go to Uganda to see the gorillas since it was more affordable than Rwanda. Rogers picked us up at our hotel as planned and he was a fantastic guide and driver. The countryside of Rwanda and Uganda is beautiful. We got withing about 5 feet of several gorillas. The family that we visited had 2 Silverbacks. The following day, we went to Volcanoes Park in Rwanda to see golden monkeys. Lodging and food was first class. We had a fantastic trip. I have already recommended ATA and Nicholas to friends in Kigali If you get a chance to go gorilla trekking - do it!

Memorabel 3 day tour
Nicholas was very responsive and was easy to arrange via email for a 3 day tour from Kampala to Bwindi for gorilla trek. Driver/guide Bernard was very knowledgeable and caring, helped pass the time on the 10 hour ride each way! Once I paid on line in advance ( super easy visa pesa pal) I didn't have to pay anything more - all meals, transport, lodging and permit were included in the price. The "budget" lodge was better than expected and also enjoyed the community tour. Fabulous experience!
Our 10 day tour of Uganda including gorilla trekking and visiting chimpanzees was superb.
From the moment we contacted Africa Tours Adventure they were efficient and courteous and understood exactly the itinerary we wanted. The accommodation was excellent – and in several cases included some of the Best game lodges we have stayed in. Our driver guide Patrick could not have been better. We thoroughly enjoyed all our game drives with him and his company throughout. Our 10 days with this company fulfilled all our expectations and made us eager to return. I could not recommend this company highly enough. I Should also say that this company offer good value compared with many others.

Excellent trip with exceeded expectations!
A friend and I planned a 2 day trip to Bwindi, Uganda to visit the gorilla's. Nicholas was very helpful in the communication and answered very fast! It was no problem to pick us up and drop us off in the south of Rwanda, a 6 hour drive. We got an upgrade on the room and it was quite luxurious. Osbert was a great driver and guide on which we could rely! We needed to trust Nicholas and Osbert blindly, but were not disappointed!

Outstanding—lots of variety!
My partner and I did an 11-day tour through Uganda and Rwanda this July, and we had an amazing time. Nicholas did an impeccable job coming up with a customized itinerary for us—he sent us 2 initial ideas, and in the end we pulled pieces from both to create our ideal trip.
Our driver, Richard, was friendly and fun to be around. And the accommodations (even though we choose the most budget-friendly option) exceeded our expectations. Altogether an amazing experience. I would recommend Africa Tours Adventure to anyone planning a trip to either of these 2 countries.

The Pearl of Africa
Just back from an absolutely amazing 5 day trip through Rwanda and Uganda with ATA , the highlight being our Gorilla Trek in Bwindi National Park. It was an experience of a lifetime.
From the very beginning Nicholas was instrumental in the planning of this incredible trip. He was a pleasure to deal with, professional and attentive. He replied promptly and no question was left unanswered.
We chose the midrange option and the accommodation far exceeded our expectations. Breakfast lunch and dinner were included at the lodges and the staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful.
Our guide Richard was great. He was very knowledgeable and we had good fun together.
I have been travelling to Africa for over 15 years now and I have to say that this trip ranks as one of the best.
I can highly recommend Africa Tours Adventure.

Outstanding to say the least, the best wilidlife outing ever!!!
I and my friend went for a 3 day Gorilla and Golden Tracking Tour with Africa Tours Adventure. Now both of us are huge wildlife fans. We can no safely vouch that this is the most exhilarating experience once can have. Its ineffable to a certain extent because one has to really live the moment. Gorillas are amazing animal and its humbling to be in their presence.
We organized our tour via Africa Tours Adventure. Our main point of contact was Nicholas and our driver / guide was Bernard. The entire trip was flawlessly executed. We received exactly what we paid for and even more. Right from planning the trip, to making the payment online, to landing and traveling from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park to hiking to see the gorillas to ending the trip was amazing. I was blown away by the hospitality of both the tour organizers , the hotel and the Rwanda people. A big thank you!!
We also got a surprise upgrade on the lodge when we reached which was extremely satisfying. SO if you are planning this trip in Rwanda or Uganda contact these guys. You can be rest assured that the entire trip will be executed flawlessly
A big thumbs up. keep up the great work and let the world get a taste of this wonderful experience

Wonderful Company-Wonderful Guide
This company is great! I contacted them after Rwanda doubled the cost of gorilla tracking and they helped us come up with an affordable, alternative plan. Our guide, Chris, was fantastic. He was one time, but we were late so he hurried us across the border and got us checked into a wonderful lodge, close to the gorilla tracking site in Uganda. The gorilla tracking is truly a once in a lifetime experience. He then dropped us off in Kigali and gave us some great suggestions for things to do and see. I highly recommend this company and this guide!

First-class experience with Africa Tours Adventure
Thank you very much for the wonderful tour and first-class experience that you have provided to us during our short time in your beautiful country(s) last week. We have really enjoyed it and our compliments to the perfect organization and execution of the tour. We would like to thank Nicholas for all the organization upfront, for all the advices that made our trip perfect given the short time that we had. With all the documents provided even the Visa Procedure was very easy.
Our tour guide Gavies was the best guide we have ever met. We felt comfortable and safe from the very first moment. We have enjoyed long conversations in the car about culture and history of Rwanda/Uganda and very safe driving.
The Gorilla trekking was exceptional and the Africa Safari Team chose a percet starting point and overnight at Bakiga lodge where the local prepared exceptional meals for us the view from our cabin was just unique.

a trip of a lifetime
the guys from ATA made our trip one of the best ever, from start to finish their communication was clear and the trip to see the gorillas in Bwindi and then the safari onto Queen Elizabeth was fantastic. The accomodation was great, tour guide open and engaging and although the costs are quite high for charity workers or lower paid people like us it is a once in a lifetime trip so make a plan and go see the gorillas for yourself!
