African Adventure Vacation: A Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience
My recent safari trip with African Adventure Vacation was nothing short of extraordinary. From the first point of contact to the final farewell, the entire experience was seamless, enjoyable, and exceeded all my expectations. If you’re considering a safari adventure in Africa, I wholeheartedly recommend this company for their professionalism, value, and personal touch.
Excellent Communication
One of the standout aspects of African Adventure Vacation was their outstanding communication. From the moment I reached out to inquire about their safari packages, their team made it incredibly easy to get all the information I needed. We communicated effortlessly via email, WhatsApp, and phone calls. This multi-channel approach made it extremely convenient to ask questions, clarify details, and finalize our itinerary. Every message was answered promptly and thoroughly, which gave me peace of mind and made the planning process stress-free.
Great Value for Money
When it comes to value, African Adventure Vacation truly delivers. I compared several safari operators before making my decision, and I found that their prices were very competitive without compromising on quality. The accommodations were comfortable, the vehicle was well-maintained, and the meals provided were delicious. Every aspect of the trip was thoughtfully arranged, ensuring that we received excellent value for the money we spent. There were no hidden costs or unpleasant surprises everything was transparent and straightforward.
Friendly and Professional Staff
The warmth and kindness of the African Adventure Vacation team made our journey even more special. From the office staff, Robert in specific, who helped us with bookings, even though we had to reschedule multiple times! To the guides and drivers we met along the way, everyone was genuinely welcoming and eager to ensure we had a memorable experience. Special mention must go to our guide, Gerald, who was truly exceptional. Gerald’s knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture was impressive, and his passion for his work was evident throughout the trip. He made every game drive exciting and educational, and his friendly demeanor made us feel right at home.
Highlights: Chimpanzee and Gorilla Trekking
While the entire safari was filled with breathtaking moments, the highlights for us were undoubtedly the chimpanzee and gorilla trekking experiences. Trekking through the lush forests in search of these incredible primates was both thrilling and humbling. Seeing chimpanzees in their natural habitat was fascinating. Spending time with a gorilla family, observing their interactions up close, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget. The guides ensured our safety and comfort throughout, and their expertise added immense value to these excursions.
Final Thoughts
In summary, our safari with African Adventure Vacation was a dream come true. The company’s excellent communication, great value for money, and the friendliness of their staff, especially our guide Gerald, made the trip truly unforgettable. The chimpanzee and gorilla trekking experiences were the icing on the cake. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and customer-focused safari operator, look no further than African Adventure Vacation. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Great drivers that were also our local guides
They organized a 10 day trip to Uganda and Rwanda. Top experience and best drivers (Stanley and Zafir). Friendly, knowledable, made sure everything ran smoothly. Sttanley and Zafir put a lot of efford to make us feel welcomed, to get best experiences on each tour/sightseeing/safari. They are excellent drivers, felt completely safe with them even in worse conditions (muddy roads etc). They are experts for Uganda! Recommend to get them!
The only thing is that the agency forgot to check what is opened in Rwanda on 1st January (everything i closed on comparisment to Uganda). But Stanley and Zafir dis an excellent job handling it and helps us with other suggestions and made our day wonderful.

Heart felt thanks for an amazing trip to Uganda, Kenya, and Mombasa
Can't say enough about the amazing team at Africa Adventure Vacations. They made our dream come true every step of the way. Robert was very responsive and accommodating with our planning. Every place we stayed and everything we did was wonderful! Our guides, Frank in Uganda and Felix in Kenya, have a special place in our hearts and made our safari so awesome, fun and full of adventure!
We loved everything, the gorilla and chimpanzee tracking, horseback riding safari, balloon ride over the Masai Mara, cultural tours and so many animals up close, and a couple days to relax at a beautiful beach resort. Most of all the people were so good and kind and we have such a respect for their culture. Hope we can return someday.!

Great Company catered in every way
We had a wonderful time with African Adventure Vacations and Stanley our driver and care taker. Every hotel we stayed at was wonderfully furnished and equipped. We were fed beyond what we could eat. There was never any confusions, hiccups, NOTHING WENT WRONG in the slightest. Stanley made sure to point out sites along our trip and explain things. Every place we visited, we were practically hand held to know where to go and what to do for the best experience possible. We saw Queen Elizabeth National Park, Chimpanzees, Gorillas and Lake Bunyonyi. I wish we were able to spend more time in Uganda. I hope no one hesitates to visit this beautiful country. It is safe and the people are so welcoming. We went for the Gorillas, but enjoyed so much of Uganda thanks to Stanley and the tour company. Thank you Stanley and African Adventure Vacations for making this a trip of a lifetime.

The company established to make your dreams come true ;)
What a holiday…!
We booked a 16-day safari trip to Rwanda and Uganda with Africa Adventure Vacations (AAV), and we were not disappointed. This trip was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and one thing is for sure: we will never forget it!
The program was professionally tailored by Robert, the AAV's trip advisor. He went above and beyond to ensure our safari would be comfortable and unforgettable. He even organised a surprise in one of the hotels on the day of our anniversary with a beautifully decorated room, a bottle of wine, and a romantic dinner. Thank you, Robert, you're a star!
Our driver guide, Caesar, was a walking "encyclopedia". His knowledge of African animals, birds, environment, people, and culture was extraordinary. We bombarded him daily with hundreds of questions, and he never got tired of answering them.
He was always on time, greeting us with a big smile every morning. There was no one in Uganda whom he didn't know. We felt privileged in every place we visited as the people there, such as hotel staff, rangers, and even road guardians, found out that we were with Caesar. We often felt like he even controlled the weather for us, as it was always good, contrary to the forecasts, allowing us to enjoy every attraction. However, this was never confirmed😉.
During our time with Caesar, we always felt safe on the road. He skillfully navigated through the traffic in Rwanda and Uganda, whether it was a rough 4x4 track on the outskirts of the country or the busy streets of Kampala (for those who were there, you know what I mean: "Hakuna matata!").
The fauna and flora also didn't disappoint. We saw the "Big 5" gorillas and many, many more animals, so I won't even bother listing them here. There was no rush, and we had much time to spend with animals until "saturation."
Thank you, Caesar and Africa Adventure Vacations. This was our best holiday ever.

Excellent company
A few days ago I returned from a tour of Uganda for which I hired Africa Adventure through Ashiraf who guided me and carefully put together the 4 days with the places of interest that I transmitted to him.
Gerald accompanied me at all times with his experience and great knowledge, who despite my basic English allowed me with his attitude to understand and take advantage of the magic of that place in the world.
Unmissable is the gorilla trekking as well as the river tour as well as the chimpanzees
Without a doubt I recommend them and if you have questions about how to organize the trip or have peace of mind about the seriousness of the company, do not hesitate to write to me

8 Day Uganda Wildlife and Primate Encounter Safari Tour
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
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
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!
