Eco Safaris is the best!
We have recently returned from a 11 day trip with Eco Safaris, booked through Patrick. The wonderful memories made will remain with us for the rest of our lives. Our friendly, informative guide, Elias took us to destinations, such as Mabamba Swamp for Shoebill Stork watching, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Chimpanzee Trekking, Murchison Falls, Kazinga Channel, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Gorilla trekking and much, much more. The accommodation was perfect, with delicious food at each Lodge. We travelled through the most stunning countryside & vibrant villages. It was fascinating learning about local traditions and everyone we met was so welcoming and friendly.
Elias made our holiday perfect with his warm and cordial approach. He went out of his way to arrange special celebrations for us as we celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary, all of which we are so very grateful. It was a fabulous holiday. We loved our experience in Uganda & travelling with Elias. We highly recommend Eco Safaris, and for future travels, wouldn’t hesitate to use the company again. Go to Uganda ….its stunning!

Perfect experience
Did the 2 day gorilla trek and the experience was amazing. The lunch we had on the way to the lodge was fantastic, the Da Vinci lodge itself was great with wonderful service, and our guide Brian ensured throughout the entire trip that we had a smooth journey. The gorilla trek itself was unbelievable, highly recommend to everyone.

Absolutely beyond fabulous.
We went on a 10 day safari with Eco Adventure. It was a trip of a lifetime. Alex, our tour guide, could not have been better. He cared so much that we had a good time and saw everything we wanted to. His goal was to not only meet our expectations but exceed them and indeed he did. Eco Adventures was always on top of all correspondence. Even hit a few snags along the way and they did not skip a beat to fix them We would HIGHLY recommend using them for any trips. We know we will. Its a pleasure to write this review.

I would do this every year if I could !!!
Eco Adventure Safaris and Borne made our gorilla trek soooo seamless. We felt well-informed on the schedule and what to expect before coming to Rwanda, and the drive into Uganda was super streamlined. Our lodge Buhoma Gorilla Camp was so cute and the employees were sooooo sweet! I have been recommending to everyone who's interested. Truly a once in a lifetime trip.

Very easily accesible with very quick replies!
Very easy to communicate with. Replies to mails in an instant.
Expensive to enter the parks but it is worth every dollar to get so close to the animals in the Wild.
The trip includes a lot of time on the roads, but the scenery is spectacular, in cities or in the countryside.
Our driver was reliable and experienced.

Excellent Guide and Gorilla Experience
We had a lovely 5-day monkey / gorilla trek with Godfrey, our guide, in November. We did the canopy walk, chimpanzee trek (which was too long that day after hiking Kilimanjaro a few days before), cultural experience, gorillas, and golden monkeys. Godfrey was an awesome guide! We learned so much about Rwanda, a country that really surprised us. Godfrey was full of information and was able to answer all our questions. On the way out of Kigali, we learned so much about the city and its history. And he pulled over whenever we wanted pictures. The gorilla experience cannot be matched, but we might try Uganda in the future. Although we did not see chimpanzees, that was not our main goal, and it was just not in the cards. The guide had us hiking over 7 miles to get to them, which even he admitted was a lot longer than normal. Not his fault, they just kept moving farther away from our starting point, and since my husband was unable to go very fast, he'd turned around so I felt like I just couldn't be gone longer. I did miss out, as they did find them another 10 minutes up the trail (the 10 minutes I spent arguing with the guide that I was done and heading back!), but that's OK. It was a beautiful hike, and again, wasn't on my short list of things to see. We thoroughly enjoyed our treks and are hoping to meet Godfrey again in Uganda someday!

Exceeded our Expectations
From the moment we began planning 8 months in advance, Eco Adventures provided high-quality, prompt, responsive service. The trip itself was an unforgettable adventure. Seeing the gorillas had been on my bucket list for decades. Eco Adventures didn't dissapoint! Every detail was well taken care of. Highly recommend their services.
