A soul filling experience that will never be beaten or forgotten
My review is for the hesitant traveller.. The one who likes their home comforts, who's maybe not so adventurous or out-doorsie, or who's only really agreeing to a holiday in Africa to full-fill a loved ones bucket list :)
After 20 years of dragging my feet, my husband finally convinced me it was time to head to East Africa, specifically Rwanda, with 6 of the 18 days in Uganda also.
He and Tour opperator Fred designed the perfect itinerary to meet the varied needs of myself, our 20 yearold daughter and 75 year old mother in law.
Fred had every aspect of the trip outlined and tweaked well in advance, and organised all required permits we needed for each treck and national park, so there were no hassles for us when we arrived.
Every place of accomodation Fred had arranged met all of our needs, with varying degrees of comfort to give us a different experience in each place.. And none challenged my need for home-comfort in a way that made me want not to be there, so job very well done! Each and every one was full of charm, gorgeous food and warm and friendly staff.
For 18 days, we were escorted from door to door, by our fabulous guides in the comfort of a well stocked and spacious land-cruiser. Ben Alfa was our Rwandan companion, and Meddi was our Ugandan man.. Both guys were the perfect match for our family, and now we're home we are missing them both! .. Entertaining, knowledgeable of their countries and animals, skilled drivers, with the patience of saints.. No anoying request was declined :) They knew where all the good eateries and toilets were, found all the animals we wanted to see in the 5 national parks we visited, kept the land cruiser stocked with water juice and snacks for our hours on the road, and took super good care of our oldest lady to the point I think she wanted to adopt them ;)
Every minute of our time was spent experiencing the breath-taking scenery and incredible wildlife, with some extra heart-filling experiences with the locals. Safari drives with elephants giraffes lions hyena a leopard, zebras buffalo's baboons warthog etc.. Amaaaaazing! Boat cruises to see crocodiles and hippos etc, with an extra special visit by a hippo in one of our camps :) Primate treks that will take your breath away.. A silverback called Mr Special, just casually brushing past our legs on the track before taking us to his family for gorgeous baby gorilla entertainment.. And a chimpanzee trek where we hung out with a mum and her baby just a couple of meters away! Golden monkey and Columbus monkey treks were gorgeous.. All experiences never to be had elsewhere. Museums, Canopy Walk, The Kings Palace, Azizi Life visit, Genocide Memorials, Tea and Coffee plantation visits, Hot-Air Ballon over Akagera National Park, Community and school visits, Bush Breakfasts and Sunset picnics.. Every single experience holds a special place in out hearts.
I look back through our 1800 photos and question how on earth I let us wait this long to make this trip happen! Don't wait, life is short, and you will never regret booking your dream trip with Fred Odyek.. A man we learned early on we could put our full trust in. He'll take care of everything, pair you with the perfect guides, and make sure your experience is exactly what you want it to be.. We can't wait for our next adventure with One More Adventure :)

High quality and trustworthy
One more adventure safaris, did an amazing job organizing an adventure of a lifetime for 3 generations.
12 days in Rwanda with a great guide in Ben Alfa, taking in 3 national parks. Seeing a wide variety of animals, the cultural experiences, especially Azizi life, were incredible.
Then 6 days in Uganda with Medi. (My mother wanted to adopt him. He took such good care of her)
Fred did a great job arranging everything and keeping us informed each step. If you are after a high-quality, trustworthy company to arrange your trip, then look for One more adventure safari

Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that we were able to meet your expectations and create an unforgettable experience for you.
A special shout-out to Ben and Meddie, who worked tirelessly to ensure everything went smoothly and brought this incredible journey to life. What a remarkable 18-day adventure it was—exploring Rwanda and Uganda, visiting five national parks, enjoying the hot air balloon ride, the canopy walk, golden and colobus monkey experiences, chimpanzee habituation, gorilla trekking, and several beautiful boat rides. It was truly an action-packed adventure, and we're so pleased that you enjoyed every moment.
Thank you for trusting One More Adventure Safaris with your family's long-time dream of visiting Africa. It was our pleasure to make it a reality, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure in the future.

Adventure of a Lifetime
From the moment I started planning my 9-Day Multi-country Safari and found One More Adventure, I knew we were going to have the trip of a lifetime.
Fred Odyek is deeply knowledgeable about East Africa and was of great advice when it came to routes, national parks and accommodations! He was deeply invested in making our journey memorable. We were greeted at the airport, on time, and the level of professionalism was a constant thread during the entire duration of the trip. We received the best treatment and service and a comfortable and reliable vehicle for the needs of our trip!
A special thanks to Nelson, the real BOSS of this trip.
For 9 days straight, in the rugged expanse of the mountains of Rwanda and Uganda, he was a responsible driver who navigated the challenging terrain with remarkable composure. Each twist and turn of the rocky paths tested his skills, but he remained calm and focused, carefully maneuvering his vehicle over steep inclines and treacherous descents. His unwavering patience and meticulous attention to detail ensured that he never made a reckless move, prioritizing safety over speed. With every obstacle, his steady hand on the wheel and keen judgment led us through the harsh landscape, embodying the essence of a true, cool-headed adventurer.
In addition to being a SUPERSTAR Driver, Nelson also speaks MULTIPLE local languages and could help you spot a Rhino, Lions or herds of Elephants anywhere within Rwanda and Uganda like a true ranger and an EXPERT guide.
Thank you Fred and Nelson for everything. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your corner of the world with us. You changed our lives through this experience and we will forever be grateful! MERCI
