So worth it!
Absolutely loved it! I went on a private tour with Eddie and enjoyed every moment. The lodgings were comfortable and we got to see SO much in a short period of time, which I was thankful for. On my safari I saw elephants, lions, a leopard, baboons, tons of amazing birds, hippos and giraffes! There were so many more things, but those were the big ones. The falls were so impressive and such a cool experience- prepare to get wet from the crazy amount of spray!
I’d highly recommend going if you’ve got some time in Uganda. It was so worth it!

Robert and African Adventure Travelers created the perfect experience for our group!
Working with Robert and African Adventure Travelers makes my job so much easier knowing that he will take care of everything for the trip. I travel with a group of students to Uganda which creates a certain level of stress, but Robert always has the sightseeing excursions and the safari taken care of. He is patient and responsive with my many emails confirming the details. He checks on the team throughout the trips to make sure the accommodations are good and to ask my thoughts on the service providers. And always greets us at the end to say farewell and to ask for feedback of what we want to change for next year. I have complete trust in Robert and his team to continue creating the perfect sightseeing and safari experiences for my students. It’s a once in a lifetime experience that he creates for them. I cannot recommend working with Robert and everyone at African Adventure Travelers enough. They’re the only provider I use in Uganda. This is was the 5th summer with them and the service, communication and commitment to exceeding our expectations has never wavered!

If you want your first Africa trip to feel effortless, personal, and beyond amazing, go with Robert
We cannot say enough wonderful things about African Adventure Travellers and Robert! From the moment we touched down at Arusha Airport, we were welcomed with the warmest smile and hospitality that immediately set the tone for the entire trip. As four young American women traveling to East Africa for the very first time, safety and trust were our top priorities, and Robert and his team exceeded every expectation.
Robert was incredibly communicative from the very beginning, patiently answering all of our questions while helping us build a personalized itinerary that combined Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda seamlessly. Throughout the trip, he continued to check in on us to make sure everything was going smoothly, which made us feel cared for and reassured at every step.
Our drivers and guides were absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, kind, and always making sure we felt safe and comfortable. We loved every place we stayed; the lodges and camps were thoughtfully chosen, each with its own charm, and we always felt well taken care of.
This was truly the trip of a lifetime—one filled with breathtaking safaris, unforgettable gorilla trekking, and so many memories we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to Robert and African Adventure Travellers for making our dream adventure a reality. We couldn’t imagine a better team to trust with such a special journey, and we would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone considering East Africa.

Excellent tour guide!
I did a one-day tour of Jinja, with Augustine as a guide. The communication, payment possibilities and organisation were perfect, both before travelling and on the day. Augustine was expert, drove well and was interesting to talk with, highly reccomended as a guide.

Very nice and helpful
Adam was our guide and he made sure we didnt lack of anything. He also gave us a lot of information and replied to our questions. I definitely recommend the experience with African Adventure and Adam!
Everything was well planned and organized and we always felt in good hands.
We had a great time on our trip to the Murchison Nationalpark. The communication beforehand was easy and quick which we appreciated alot since we booked last minute and still received a suitable itinerary for us. Our guide Adam was always on time, attentive and was able to answer all our questions. The accomodation was really nice and we felt comfortable. The tour itself was exactly what we were looking for. It was the right balance of relaxation and activities. We would highly recommend African Adventure Travellers!
Trip to the Equator
I was pleasantly surprised when I submitted a quote request at around midnight, not thinking it would be possible for a next day tour, and I received a message saying I could be picked up in the morning!
Adam arrived a few minutes early and we started on this adventure from Kampala to experience the equator.
He obviously loves his job and knows the route well. He answered all of my questions.
Arriving at the Equator, we started in a little shop/restaurant, then made our way across the street to see the water exhibit. We took a few pictures as well.
I was able to shop, then we returned to the restaurant which must be popular during the busy season, yet today there was no wait.
We headed back to Kampala, and went we got to the city, he chose a different route, showing me the kings palace, the straight road to parliament and the path only the king is allowed to take.
Highly recommend this tour company, and you would be lucky to have Adam as your guide.

One Of a Kind Spectacular Experience
Setting up this adventure took a fair bit of planning and Dr. Robert was there every step of the way while our itinerary was tweaked multiple times. He always listened and offered helpful suggestions. On the day of our arrival both Dr Robert and our guide, Augustine, were there to meet us at the airport at 2am to get us to the hotel. We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Augustine. He was knowledgeable and personable and not only led us on our journey but he quickly became one of the group himself. The accommodations were all clean and comfortable with very friendly and helpful staff to make your stay more enjoyable. Upon our return to Entebbe, Dr Robert met us for dinner and even brought along one of the hotel owners to get first hand feedback of our travels and stay. A trip like this is truly a one of a kind adventure and I would highly recommend African Adventure Travellers to help guide you along the way. Oh and don't forget to ask for Augustine as your guide. I promise you won't be disappointed.

From beginning to end, everything was perfect!
After over a year of consultation and multiple adjustments, Robert and his team put together the PERFECT Safari Tour; Customized for us and to an impeccable standard.
From the time that our plane touched down in Entebbe until our return flight departed 2-1/2 weeks later, our every need was met: Full yet flexible schedule; Stunning accommodations in out-of-this-world locations; Gourmet 3- and 4-course meals at the lodges, and nutritious box lunches or breakfasts when the schedule demanded; Good quick laundry service; Prompt porter service; etc. Leaving us free to focus on what was important... admiring the spectacular scenery, and interacting with and observing the wildlife!
And, we had some of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences imaginable!! In Uganda, we were able to get much closer to the animals than we found in Tanzania. Our tour included the Chimpanzee Sanctuary on Ngamba Island, the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison Falls (from above and below), Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale for Chimpanzee Habituation, the Ishasha sector for the Tree Climbing Lions, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for the Gorilla Habituation, and Lake Mburo National Park for the Zebras and Giraffes.
All being seniors, we chose to opt for the internal flights to replace a couple of the longer drives... Even though our Safari vehicle was comfortable and commodious, generally cleaned overnight, and Augustine is an uncommonly good driver. I should also note that he was extremely understanding and considerate of our various limitations and moods. For the air transfers, we took an easy 1-hr flight and Augustine picked us up at the other end, with our luggage. It was all very smoothly orchestrated. Then we added an unexpectedly interesting 2-day cultural tour of Kampala onto the end of our 2-week Safari.
We feel so very lucky to have chosen Robert to be our tour operator, and positively blessed that he assigned Augustine to be our driver/guide. It was well worth every penny, and we are now able to count both Robert and Augustine among our close friends. I would trust either with my life and won't hesitate to strongly recommend them.
NB
African Adventure Travellers also offers shorter tours and more economical ones; all with the same level of service and attention to detail, but with more modest accommodations or fewer destinations.
