Amazing experience
5/5

We did a 10 day private tour in Uganda, beautiful landscape, wildlife and peoples .
We loved every day and we definitely recommend this company.
Robert, our planning guide, was the best at planning an unforgettable trip.
Our visit to the national park, the gorillas and chimpanzee trek and the rest of the trip were perfectly organised and provided us with an amazing experience and I would highly recommend their services.
The guide was FRANK and he is the best guide!!!thank to him we had the opportunity to see the big five, gorillas and chimpanzees.
Uganda is really unique place.
We want to get back there as soon as possible!

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.

incredibly well organized
5/5

Robert organized a private tour for my two children and another family with three (6 in total) that was incredible!! The places we saw and the places we stayed in were very nice. Our driver Frank was very warm and attentive all the time, which made our lives easier while in Uganda, he knew everybody and everybody greeted him with affection. Ugandans in general are very warm and kind people who always try to please you.
The trip was very well organized and one could tell that the Africa Adventure had a lot of experience and knew everything. I am sure we will come back in the future and we will recommend this tour operator to all our friends, since it's important, for people that have never been to Uganda, to have some good references before planning the trip. For us, African Adventure vacations has been a reliable and trustable company, and Robert and Frank are the best organizers. Thanks, Robert and Frank, for such a great experience!!! We will never forget it!!!

best agency ever
5/5

We're still overwhelmed by Africa Adventure Vacations. On the part of the office an unbeatable preparation and attention. Ashiraf, Robert and Edison quickly and professionally answered our countless emails, answering all our questions - there were many! What to say about our guide / driver Cesar? We can only say that he is the best: he is an excellent driver who took us over impossible roads, making us feel safe at any time. He is also an excellent guide with enormous knowledge about the animal world, vegetation, traditions, culture, ... absolutely everything. There was no question to which he did not know an answer. We learned a lot with him. But above all he is an excellent person: always in a good mood, always attentive and with a big smile on his face. We will miss him. Cesar, Ashiraf, Robert and Edison have stolen a piece of our hearts. They are exceptional people - professionally and humanly.

Awesome gorilla safari experience
5/5

I had a wonderful experience with Africa Adventure Vacations right from the time of booking. Our travel consultant was very vast with the knowledge and designed us a very good 7 days trip to Uganda. The guide was very friendly and helpful. Our stay at Parkview safari lodge was the most memorable experience. The staff arranged a surprised birthday cake to my hubby and the gorillas made our trip a memorable! Thanks to Africa Adventure Vacations for such experiences

8 Day Uganda Wildlife and Primate Encounter Safari Tour
5/5

My partner and I did the 8 Day Uganda Wildlife and Primate Encounter Safari as a private tour in February 2024. I had contacted African Adventure Vacations who passed me on to Felix (Bashir) to organise the tour via email and WhatsApp. Felix went above and beyond to answer all of my many questions and to ensure we felt comfortable and safe which we really appreciated. We landed in Uganda after a 14 day safari in Kenya, we were tired and unsure what to expect but we were welcomed so warmly by Felix, Edison and the accountant (I forgot her name sorry!) and already our trip was off to a great start, we felt at home and part of the family. The next day we met our guide/driver for our trip Najib, and we had no idea that after 8 days we would become close friends and saying goodbye would be very emotional! On this tour, AAV packed it with so much to do so we really made the most of our money and time which we loved! We had the following experiences: Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary walking experience, Murchison Falls National Park, Nile boat cruise, night game drive safari, chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest, Bigodi sanctuary swap walk and community tour, boat cruise on the Kazinga channel, Queen Elizabeth national park, gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable forest national park, boat tour on Lake Bunyonyi. I don’t have enough space to write about how incredible this tour was, but Najib went above and beyond and we saw all the animals we wanted to and more! The community experience was incredible and it was so hard to say goodbye, the food was out of this world, the guides, rangers and accomodation staff were all so friendly and warm. The gorilla trek exceeded our already high expectations. The conversations with Najib over the long drives, learning about Uganda, tasting fruits from the side of the road, waving to the children, playing cards and watching the sunset - these moments will be cherished forever. We wished we could have stayed much longer and we will be back in the future thanks to Felix and Najib, please give them both a raise because they deserve it!

Incredible tour company - best experience
5/5

Absolutely exceptional - from the booking and organisation to the day-to-day experiences, lodges, food and beautiful scenery.

Africa Adventure Vacations were brilliant. The customer service was out of this world. Robert organised everything for us, and we paid directly from an Australian bank account to the Ugandan bank. It was smooth and easy to coordinate. The cost was significantly cheaper booking directly allowing us to take advantage of the incredible lodges and accommodation booked.

It was a dream trip - we saw and experienced everything we wanted to - from lions hunting at night, to hippos wading through the lakes, elephants crossing roads and baboons jumping on the truck. It was just a great adventure from start to finish.

We cannot recommend AAV enough. Our guide Abdul met us at the airport and then he ensured we had everything we needed from that point on. A dream come true.

Don't hesitate and book today!

Excellent trip: 16 days to Burundi, DRC, Rwanda and Uganda
5/5

We toured with two couples, 16 days to Burundi, DRC, Rwanda and Uganda. Caesar was an awesome guide and Robert handled everything competently from the office side. As is often the case with Africa, adjustments needed to be made along the way during the trip and they were handled well. We saw gorillas twice, chimpanzees twice plus all of the Big 5 and more. An outstanding vacation. Highly recommended!
