Excellent service
Excellent tour company. Communication was easy and clear. I was able to modify the tour to add in an extra visit to Lake Bunyonyi. My driver Ronald was superb. Friendly, professional and very thoughtful - a pleasure to get to know him.
The accommodation was also much better than I expected.
The tours themselves were well worth it. I loved Uganda - such a beautiful country and the people were exceptionally thoughtful, welcoming and friendly.
I recommend adding in a visit to Lake Bunyonyi - a beautiful lake with a great boat trip around the islands with Davis. Very peaceful and relaxing.
If you stay at Wagtail Lodge in Bwindi don’t miss the community centre in the village!
Overall a great trip - good value for money - I highly recommend.

Providing a great experience
Had a great Trip to Murchison Falls. Ich specially my guide Benjamin did everything to make this trip rewarding. Very accommodating to my needs, had a truly unique experience. Definitely recommending them!
Knowledgeable, attentive, personable guide
Our driving tour around Rwanda and Uganda was a highlight of the trip. Farouk was an amazing guide. We enjoyed all his knowledge of both countries that he shared with us; we felt like we learned so much. He was very accommodating and flexible with timings and activities. We always felt in safe hands and appreciated all his guidance. It was wonderful to get to know him as a person as well. And of course, the gorilla trekking was one of the best experiences of our lives. We also very much enjoyed the additional activities and accommodations suggested by Kaara Adventures. Highly recommend and well worth it.

Detail Oriented and Attentive
There are so many companies to choose from and I am lucky that I chose correctly using Kaara and the services of Faruk. He made sure we had water and snacks the entire tour. He answered all of our questions and provided even more knowledge we didn’t know we wanted to know. The lodgings were so comfy and all came with breathtaking views and 3 course meals! The vehicle was newer, clean, and very comfortable (even has charging stations if you need them). What an amazing adventure!

Seamless and professional experience!
Ronnie was a great driver, full of local knowledge and happy to explain many things about Rwanda and Uganda to us. We were always on time for our plans which went very smoothly. This was a safe and fun experience for us (an early 30s couple).

Incredibly simplified experience
I did a solo gorilla trek in Uganda and it was absolutely amazing. Trekking through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to see wild mountain gorillas up close was surreal—peaceful, powerful, and something I’ll never forget. Driving all over Uganda was eye opening and an amazing way of seeing Africa.
Huge shoutout to Farouk, my guide, who was fantastic. He made me feel completely comfortable as a solo traveler and was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. The whole trip was well-organized, safe, and unforgettable from start to finish. He took care of anything I needed and made sure I was comfortable from start to finish.
If you're thinking about doing this—especially solo—go for it. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Farouk was very attentive!
Kaara adventures was able to customize my itinerary to check every item on my list. My tour guide was professional and very attentive to me and watchful of the services I received in hotels, restaurants etc. Communication with the Kaara office was stellar. "Budget" accommodations were better than expected.
Some things to note, if you come from a cold place, what they consider cold will feel hot to you, so adjust your packing list accordingly.
Also, in Rwanda and Uganda, tips are expected everywhere so be prepared with cash even if the meal/hotel is covered by the tour.

Fantastic Gorilla and Golden monkey trip
Our guide Farouk made our trip so easy and enjoyable. All our requests and needs were provided with great care and attention. He was a great driver on quite difficult roads full of people walking and riding bikes. Jovia handled all the paperwork very efficiently.
