4 Day Rwanda Tour - Gorillas, Golden Monkeys, and Lake Kivu
Organising our tour through Africa Adventure Safaris was extremely easy and they worked with us to develop a full programme that timed in perfectly with our other travels. Given the time difference between Uganda and Australia, communications from Africa Adventure Safaris were always timely and they provided the answers or information we were seeking. Our tour guide, Enos, greeted us at Kigali airport and our first impressions were great. He was very friendly and throughout the tour courteous and willing to go out of his way to do anything for us. We were very comfortable with him. He was highly knowledgeable and took us on what can only be described as an absolutely amazing tour. 4 days was definitely not enough time to travel from Kigali to Musanze to track gorillas and golden monkeys, then down to Lake Kivu to experience such as a beautiful and relaxing place. The vehicle we travelled in was new, clean and comfortable. The hotels that we stayed at were all excellent and much better than we expected. The food was fantastic also. The trip went perfectly smoothly and we had no issues at all with the service. All of our expectations were surpassed and Rwanda is an amazing country to visit.

We were absolutely satisfied with the whole trip-perfect guide,car,organisation,lodges,itinerary!
We enjoyed the whole trip to Uganda. The itinerary was well organised, our guide Rogers is a real profesional - he speaks English well, he knows where and when to go, he gave us so many information - he knows all the animals, all the interesting places, style of living in Uganda etc.. He was able to answer every question we had, he kept the car always clean, he took care of us, of our safety, he supplied us with watter and the last but not the least - he is perfect driver! All the Logdes, we stayed in, were clean and well serviced, excellent food, beautiful placement (in nature), good staff. What´s more: we were lucky to get very good and friendly guides (rangers) in the parks for all tracking we passed. In short - we met no problem, no complication, no trouble during our trip. Thank you and good luck for the future!

Exceeded My Very High Expectations!
My four-day tour in Uganda with Africa Adventure Safaris was outstanding! The planning with coordinator Nelson, the pick-up at the hotel, the Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, the lodges, restaurants and the games drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park were all world class. Guide Joseph Sabiiti was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I give Joseph and the team at Africa Adventure Safaris my highest possible recommendation.

Incredible, once in a lifetime experience
Seeing wild mountain gorillas in their natural habitat was an absolute privilege and a real joy. It is incredible how close you get to these magnificent animals. You are of course told to keep your distance in the briefing meeting - a minimum of 7 metres - but the animals clearly haven't been privy to this information and they'll walk right by you so long as you sit quietly and calmly. The guides that take you up the mountain are great - really friendly and very knowledgable as you'd expect.
Our trip was of course organised by Africa Adventure Safaris (AAS) and I have nothing but good to say about them, especially as our flight to Entebbe was delayed by 24 hours but Nicholas was so helpful in ensuring we got to where we needed to be on time.
Our driver and guide from Entebbe to Bwindi and back again was David - a very kind, friendly and knowledgable chap. I think he felt bad that we didn't get to do any sightseeing on the drive to Bwindi as time was against us, so on the return leg he took a very welcome detour around Queen Elizabeth National Park, which meant that as well as the gorillas we also got to see elephants, baboons, zebras and lots of antelope - a real and unexpected treat.
I wouldn't think twice about recommending AAS. 5-stars all round!!!

Gorilla safari
This was a great way to meet Gorilla's. It is worth every penny! This Africa Adventure Safaris did and excellent job in helping me book the reservations. I sent many emails asking questions and all were promptly answered. When I left a phone number, I quickly received a call which helped me feel comfortable to pay a deposit a year before I was going to make the trip. We were promptly picked up at the airport by Eric who spent 3 days driving us around. He was a great driver. Olive and Bill were great in helping us make the reservations. Highly suggest this company.
Unbelievable Time in Uganda/Rwanda!
I could not be happier that I followed the advice of the other reviews and chose to travel with Africa Adventure Safaris! Anna was fantastic in her communication and ability to customize an itinerary to my liking. Patrick, the driver/guide, was top notch. I was amazed by his knowledge and instantly felt comfortable traveling with him as a solo traveler. This company was extremely professional and personal from the early planning stages through my return home. Choose Africa Adventure Safaris and you are in for a trip of a lifetime!

Perfecly understanding customer needs
We went for a 10 days gorilla tracking and safari in Rwanda and Uganda. It took some time to select on the web the right travel agency, and after several contacts, we chose Africa Adventure Safaris, as costs, answers speed and flexibility to adapt the offer to our requirements were sensibly better than other companies'.
Organization: all was very well organized and even a trouble that the car had has been perfectly managed, without impacting on the activities planned. Anna, who was our reference contact, has been truly outstanding
Drive/Guide: William Kirie has been a great guide, a lovely trip companion, a stunning birdwatcher and a cautious driver (shared taxis or matatu make this aspect rather tricky). We appreciated all of him.
Lodges/accomodations/food: were all perfect, very well selected: nice rooms, good food, and perfect service.
Activities: it's easy to arrange gorillas and chimps tracking, but we enjoyed a lot also unexpected activities that were part of Africa Adventure's proposal. I think that due to a deep knowledge of what both countries offer and to a deep attention to customer needs, Africa Adventure is able to organize and propose what customers really enjoy.
Not one single criticism, sorry but this is reality.
I will copy this same comment in Tripadvisor, and I will add notes to each lodge visited.

Africa Adventure Safaris made my Africa safari dream turn into reality!
Our 9 days adventure in Uganda and Rwanda organized by Africa Adventure Safaris folks surpassed other trip experiences in the rest of Africa. As a team of 5 friends, we begun our trip from Serengeti national park. Amani Africa team managed the first portion of our holiday successfully.
We flew into Kigali airport and met Enos, a guide from Africa Adventure Safaris. Enos is a humorous and knowledgeable folk. He is a fabulous and likable guide.
In Rwanda we stayed an overnight at Mountain Gorilla View. In the morning we converged with other gorilla trackers at the park headquarters for briefing by the park ranger. Our group was allocated Umubano gorilla group. We hiked through thick thicket with stinging nettles for over 3 hours. Eventually we met a silverback before an encounter with the whole family estimated to be 10 individuals. Our encounter and interaction with this group excited us and some of our group members could not hold back tears of joy! This is indeed the most exciting wildlife experience.
We later crossed the border to Kisoro and arrived at another fabulous lodge - The chameleon Hill Lodge overlooking a scenic lake called Mutanda. We tracked the Nkuringo gorilla family. This one, too, was interesting. The gorilla babies' antics still linger on my memory. The rest of the trip is a big tale.
I am so grateful to the Africa Adventure folks for organizing this experience for us. We had value for money.

Rwanda, Bwindi and Gorillas
I have just got back from 4 days in Rwanda and Uganda and had a wonderful trip with this company. After a bad experience from a previous company I could not be more happy with the service I was provided. From the initial contact, Anna who I dealt with, was prompt and helpful in every way as I had limited time and specific things I wanted to do. As there were no permits for gorilla trekking on the Rwandan side she helped to put a trip together including gorilla trekking from the Ugandan side. My guide was amazing and I didn't have to worry about anything, after living in East Africa for 3 years this was a pleasant surprise. From small details to getting the correct currency to helping spot wildlife he was a great help. The lodge I stayed in, Bwindi Lodge, was beautiful and the staff extremely attentive (even a hot water bottle in my bed at night!) and the food was superb. The gorilla trekking was pretty tough, nearly 7 hours of hiking in the bush, but it was to make sure we saw the gorillas and got our full hour with them. The rangers were professional and my porter was a massive help. I was also given a trip around Kigali and the Genocide Museum and lunch all included, my only thing was time so it was a shame not to have been able to do more. I was dropped back off in Rwanda in Gisenyi at my next hostel and this was a big help. I am definitely going to be using this company again as I want to now climb the volcano in DRC after my driver was explaining the possibility and beauty of it. Amazing experience!
