Great Trip
We went on a 2 day adventure to see Golden Monkeys in Rwanda and then Gorillas in Uganda. Our Driver, Dismus, was the best. He went above and beyond to make it one of the best trips. He took us to share gifts with local children and see different places that was not on the itinerary. He knew so much about both countries and about the animals and plants and was great. Booking was very easy also.

Reliable, caring, professional and good value for money
We did 4 days in Uganda with Kaara adventures to trek Gorilla’s and Chimpanzees. In the process of planning the trip Jovia was very helpful and flexible to organize the trip exactly as i wanted. Since we only had a short time between our arriving- and departing flight and also we went at the end of the rain season it needed to be perfect and so it was.
Our driver Eddie was super nice and he really made sure we had an unforgetable time. All in all i would recommend Uganda and Kaara adventures to everybody who is looking for a once in a lifetime experience!

Excellent Tour Operator
I did the Golden Monkey and Mountain Gorilla tour with Kaara Adventures. I dealt with Jovia leading up to the tour and she was very easy to deal with while planning the trip. Gerald was my tour guide for the trip, he was very kind and resourceful, he also ensured the entirety of the trip went as planned. I highly recommend booking with Kaara Adventures

Exemplary service - you won't be disappointed.
I researched a lot of the tour companies to see what they offered, but just couldn't find one that suited my needs. I emailed Kaara Adventures and they designed a tour to my exact specifications. You'd think it would be ultra expensive to do this but it wasn't, the value for money was fair in the circumstances. I was met in Rwanda by a charming tour guide by the name of Gerald, he was accompanied by one of the company staff, Abraham. We instantly hit it off, such nice guys!! There was a lot of travelling but it was fun. I ended up doing the trek to Dian Fossey memorial in Volcanoes National Park, then off to Uganda to do the Gorilla Trek the next day. OMG, this was one of the best days of my life. You're guaranteed to seeing the gorillas, every group since 1994 has seen them. Gerald is a credit to the company, he is a people-person, he has a great personality and is knowledgable of all the areas. Don't hesitate in booking with these guys, just ask to tailor a tour if you don't see it listed. I did and glad I did. THANKYOU!! ps/ you'll get close to the gorillas, REALLY close - they literally walk past you!

customized private tour
I did a solo trip to Uganda and reached out to Kaara Adventures with my ideas. They came back to me quickly with a full itinerary including hotels. I literally had no work at all to prepare for my trip. The pick up from the hotel was punctual to the minute.
I want to mention my driver, Ronnie, who is a very safe driver with a great sense of humor. He was in contact with all the local businesses and scheduled all my activities during the trip. therefore i never had any waiting times or the feeling of stress. Every day he collected me from a hotel, organized my day and brought me back to a hotel in the evening safely.
The booked hotels en-route were all great and had a good standard. The car was also comfortable. It was equipped with AC and a pop-up roof for safari. Ronnie even had a portable WiFi router in the car free to use.
One day Ronnie came late but he gave me a call and informed me. He explained the reason which I understood. so i had time to finish my breakfast without any hurry. This is really good service and good communication!
Ronnie knew how the traffic would be and scheduled the activities according to his experience. Thanks to his great knowledge I learned a lot about Uganda's history, politics and mentality.
On my tour I could see victoria lake, the equator, the source of the nile, murchison falls and the national park. Here I have to mention that Ronnie did an extra game drive with me in the evening as we still had a bit of time before we drove to the hotel. This was the best experience of my entire trip. The actual game drive was scheduled the next morning with a park ranger… it was OK but not comparable with the extra drive Ronnie did the day before. Thumbs up!
The restaurants en-route were chosen wisely according to the schedule. They were overall good standards. I'd categorize it as local food but extra prepared for picky tourists. so I can't complain about the taste or hygiene standards. all perfectly chosen.
On the last day we made some changes as I had to go back to the airport and Ronnie brought me to an Italian restaurant instead of the usual local food. It was a welcomed surprise and super delicious.
Despite having a packed itinerary and a flight to catch on my last day, Ronnie managed traffic and activities and brought me to the airport perfectly in time.
without hesitation i can recommend this tour company and most notably Ronnie who made my trip a very special and worry-free adventure.

.Personal attention on the tour from beginning to end
The customer service this company provide is unbelievably good. Through out complete the process of planning my trip, the owner of the company worked closely with me, as I was interested to add more and more stops to my trip. Due to this in the end, my trip was become a packed 12 days.
The guide selected for me, Samuel, took wonderful care of me. He just made it clear that he was going to make sure I’m going to saw, heard, and tasted Uganda! I saw lions, elephants, several species of monkeys, zebras, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, shoebill storks, chimps and GORILLAS. I also got a chance to visited a tribe of pygmies and met families of ex-poachers. Samuel introduced me to some Uganda delicacies; matoke, jack fruit and ground peanut sauce.
As I travelled through Uganda, I posted photos on Facebook. Now I’m inspired to have a plan with several friends for Africa adventures. I recommend this company to everyone, not only to just my Facebook friends to others also!

Adventure of Africa Tours and Gorilla tracking- in Uganda.
I was in Rwanda to see my friend for a week and contacted to Kaara Adventures, one month before to arrange a gorilla tracking tour. At first, I thought to track the gorillas in Rwanda but not enough limited time I had available for my vacation. For the solution, Jose then recommended to go to Bwindi National Park in Uganda. He organised a tour for me only - single person - private tour and truly an excellent choice! All staff at Kaara Adventures were extremely responsive to all my queries, knowledgeable in preparation of the trip and guided me professionally throughout complete tour. I am extremely happy with my gorilla experience! Thank you to Jose and Samuel at Kaara Adventures!

.Tour was Outstanding—lots of variety and diversity!
Me with my partner did an 11-day tour through Uganda and Rwanda in January, and we had an amazing time. Jose did an impeccable job coming up with a customized itinerary for us—he sent us 2 initial ideas, and in the end, we picked some pieces from both to create our ideal trip.
Our driver and guide, Samuel, was friendly and fun to be around. And the concession provided (even though we choose the most budget-friendly option) exceeded our expectations. Altogether an amazing experience. I would recommend Kaara Adventures to anyone planning a trip to either of these 2 countries.
