I had an excellent experience with Africa Adventure Vacations to plan our trip to Uganda. I had already done quite a bit of research and had a good idea where I wanted to go, and Joel was recommended to me by one of the lodges I wanted to stay at during the trip.
Joel was very responsive to my email inquiries and put together a detailed itinerary for us, beginning in Entebbe and ending in Kigali, Rwanda. We were met at the airport for our very early morning arrival in Entebbe by both a representative of Africa Adventure Vacations and our driver/guide for the next 13 days. Our guide was excellent not only as a guide but also as a driver. The roads in Uganda are not in the best shape, but we always felt very safe with our guide driving on difficult roads.
When I experienced stomach problems during the trip, our guide was very solicitous and helped us visit a pharmacy to get some medication. The vehicle was comfortable and had working air conditioning, which was very useful on some of the dirt roads when we needed to close the windows because the roads were very dusty. We had one incident of vandalism to the vehicle that took place during the night; this was not the fault of the tour company but they were able to obtain another vehicle for us to continue our trip with only a short delay, since the original vehicle was no longer usable due to a cracked windshield. I was impressed with how the company was able to handle this unexpected event in a timely and professional way. All of our trekking permits had been secured as promised, and the accommodations that were arranged during our trip were very pleasant. I would definitely recommend Africa Adventure Vacations for anyone planning an adventure in Uganda.

African Adventure vacations did a very efficient job in assisting with the right itineraries, reservation and mailing of all tour vouchers on time. From the time of arrival to departure following the tours, everything went like clockwork without a hitch.
I have no hesitation to go through Africa Adventure Vacations for the next trip to Africa. I would rate this travel company as first class safari company in Uganda. Joel was most helpful travel consultant.
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that we are safely home and the trip was WONDERFUL from start to finish. Africa Adventure Vactions planned it perfectly for us and we enjoyed every minute. But to give you an example, they started calling us the "lucky Swiss" - we saw all the big five at 4 different camps, a rhino from about 10 yards, two lion prides feasting on fresh kills, 3 lion cubs of only a month old (even our guide didn't know there were three, as no one had seen the third one before) and much, much more. The only thing we never saw was a cheetah which we tracked for 2 afternoons and just missed, although the tracking process was fascinating.
We fell in love with Uganda the people were so terrific to us. Anyway, it was great and we had no problems - a couple of flat tires in the bush and a broken fuel line on one of the planes which necessitated sitting on a log by the airstrip for a while until they sent a rescue plane after us - but those things are expected on a trip like this
Africa Adventure Vacations you really delivered on all counts great food everywhere .lots of good wine .. a superb level of service from each establishment and person .a trip that was truly memorable. I travel 150+ nights per year and am not usually engaged with hotels, restaurants and those types of services they all tend to run together. However, to a place the establishments we were exposed to really stood out! The 8 days magical gorilla trip was outstanding.
Having traveled in Africa for years, I have had the opportunity to work with many tour operators, but none compared to the personal care and attention I received with Africa Adventure Vacations. Not only did Edison created an itinerary that ideally matched my wishes, having customized a trip to suit my schedule, budget and areas of interest. He ensured that my trip was safe, well-organized and most importantly FUN!!!! Our guide Samuel exposed me to the nature, people and way of life of the areas I visited. This is the perfect tour company for those that want to feel like they are becoming a part of their surroundings rather than merely observing from behind glass or tour bus doors
I just finished a 5 day Gorilla & Primates tour through Rwanda and Uganda and it was absolutely fantastic. It was truly an experience of a lifetime and I am already trying to figure out a way to get my friends and family to join me again on this amazing trip.
I had an amazing trip with my family with African Adventure Vacations. Service was very perfect right from the tour consultant to our friendly guide Samuel. I liked all the lodges with slept in however, Parkview safari lodge was more outstanding. They gave a surprise birthday cake to my husband.
We saw most of the animals as promised in our itinerary. I will definitely come back to visit other destinations in Uganda.
Africa Adventure Vacations worked with my non-profit group to bring a delegation to Rwanda and Uganda. Their personal attention and emphasis on the details of the trip was quite simply amazing and allowed us to truly enjoy the journey without worrying about anything. Moreover, Edison is extremely knowledgeable about local flora and fauna, especially birds. I really felt we had a behind the scenes look into the places we visitedwhich is hard to do as a tourist. I would highly recommend working with Africa Adventure Vacations.
From the very beginning Africa Adventure Vacations listened to everything we requested and acted accordingly. This meant that our holiday was a truly memorable event. I will definitely recommend your services to my friends and family.
It was such a nice moment to discover Congo and Uganda. I had visited several national parks including Murchison and Virunga parks. My guide driver was the best, he spotted most of the animals and birds spices. he was knowledgeable regarding fauna and flora. He also gave us extra activities that were not even in the itinerary. I recommended my family to book Samuel again as their guide when they choose to visit Uganda for gorilla trucking.
Thanks to Africa Adventure vacations. They promised and delivered. I will definitely recommend your services to friends and family
Thanks to Africa Adventure Vacations, my trip to Uganda and Rwanda was rich in experiences Ill never forget. Edison traveled with us by van through incredible landscapes, making sure that we spotted each monkey and glittering bird along the way. She answered all of our questions, explaining social etiquette, politics, how honey is harvested or what games kids played in the towns we visited. He led the tour like a wildlife expert and also cared for us like a friend. No matter where we were, she made sure that by noon, lunch was there. Edison's smiling face was a welcome thing each morning. Do not pass his company up!
