Reviews
A 6 days tour on Northern Uganda
The experience lived up to our expectation, and Joseph the guide was informed and flexible to our needs. The accommodations were first class, food good, and we saw all the animals we had hoped to. The customized trip to a fresh Waters on Nile river went according to plan, and was a lot of fun.
The only criticism was that the original vehicle we were given had seat belts which didn't work.

It was an Incredible experience
yes, this was the once in a life time experience. My self, my girlfriend and the group a 15 days. The day we were hiked for six hours, mostly up hill, to find the gorilla family. Finally, We were within 10/12 feet from the silverback and five other gorillas. Our guides were wonderful, that making sure we were positioned close to them to get excellent pictures. then on second day we asked to our guides, to see a family of gorillas with their babies. Then guides made it and we came upon the gorilla family after four hours of hiking throughout a dense jungle. This family had several mothers with babies (10 or 12). The silverback always positioned himself between us and his family. I suggest that everyone hire a porter. We were hiking in very dense jungle, through rivers, going up and down steep terrain. Girls in team was taking help by a porter, he pulled them up many hills and many times saved them from sliding down terrain. Be prepared with rain gear, gaiters, water, bug spray and one hiking stick( you need your other hand free for your porter to help you up the mountain. Great Alpha Adventures!

A trip beyond your imaginations
I can highly recommend going with Alpha Adventures, it was a high class experience of safari with a guaranteed excitement. A wonderful guide, 100% service minded, was always making sure you had a really good time. Good communication , really easy to follow the program, no complications at all. We had the luck to see animals beyond our expectations: Lions, elephants, hyenas, crocodiles, hippos, etc. It was both relaxing and exciting.

3 days safari trip to Murchison Falls with Alpha Adventures
We went on a 3 days safari to Murchison Falls and managed to see all big 5 animals. Most amazing was the early morning game drive in the park where we saw buffalos, lions, elephants, giraffes and even a leopard laying on a branch in the tree beside us. The hotel Paraa Lodge was very luxurious with a swimming pool and a beautiful view over the river Nile, where we also went on a boat trip watching crocodiles and hippopotamuses. On the way back to Kampala we strolled along with Rhinos in the Rhino Sanctuary
All in all we are very satisfied with the trip. Peter from Aplha Adventures was very flexible and professional, both as organizer and guide. Even our children were amazed. I would surely recommend other people to book their safari tour by this company.

Great safari guide and wonderful lodging!
Great safari guide and wonderful lodging!
My best friend and I went on a 10 day trip- 5 days safari and 5 days in Bwindi Gorillas. Our safari guide , Joseph,was amazing! He was able to spot animals from a distance without even using binoculars and was extremely knowledgeable and kind. The lodging- hotels and tented camps were beautiful and the food was great. We liked our lodge in Bwindi - a lot. The only issue is that its far away (about 8hrs drive from Kampala) from most of the main attractions in Queen Elizabeth -lion'giraffe,elephant,boffalllo ect. However, given that there are many other great places to to visit, I'd probably pick a chimps in Kibale everything else next time. The only small complaint we have is that the gentleman who arranged our tour, Peter after we deposited first payment he took 4 days to let us know where he got the money on his credit card but later we knew he was in Nerthalands. All in all, great trip and would use them again!

Unforgettable trip with Alpha Adventures 6-Day Gorillas And Lions
Before we started our mission to Uganda we contacted Alpha Adventures to organize us a trip before reporting to our work station and On 8th of June 2013 we had a very good accommodation at Cassia lodge,then on 9th June 2013 we took a trip fully organized and managed by Alpha Adventures. Our trip departed from Kampala through the Equator line and with a lot of sightseeing in the crater region – to Queen Elizabeth National Park and we were accommodated at Mweya Safari Lodge. Even so it was supposed to be the rainy season, we experienced only two times a thunderstorm – and what an experience this was, too. The temperature was always perfect, the plants and trees were in blossom, the grass high. We spotted a number of beautiful birds – thank you, Albert -, and all kinds of mammals, including lions, rhinos, buffaloes, elephants, and so many other creatures great and small. In addition, the lodges Albert selected for us were all real beauties and at most of them we were just the three of us, so that we could enjoy the sounds of the night, too.
Albert , our guide and also highly specialized in birdwatching, really took care of everything up to the smallest detail: we were pampered. Right from the first email contacts we got a good feeling of Alpha Adventures and the people working there.
Whenever you plan to visit Uganda, we can highly recommend the services of Alpha Adventures and the admirable knowledge on nature and wildlife which our friend Albert has. We traveled already quite a lot before, but never had we felt as good and learned so much about fauna and flora as we did with Albert and Alpha Adventures.
