Great cultural experience - The tour was short as requested but informative. The tour guide/Boda driver is knowledgeable and shared about Ugandan culture, history, and expertise on tourist places.

Uganda fun - Just finished our 6 day excursion with Chris. What and experience. Right from the moment we met him he made us feel welcomed. He’s very knowledgeable and tells and shows... read more you everything that Uganda has to offer. We had a blast. Lots of laughs and fun. He set everything up from gorilla and chimpanzees excursion to some of the nicest hotels. Uganda had a ton to offer and is absolutely beautiful and Chris company just added to the great time we had.

Amazing boda tour - Michael took me on a boda tour throughout Kampala. I had an amazing day. He drove really safe and showed me the highlights and the best parts of Kampala. We... read more finished of with in my opinion even the best part of the tour, the amazing local fish at lake Victoria. Thank you once again Michael! I would defenity recommend!

Absolute best guide (Chris) and tour company - As a solo female traveler, I could not recommend Uganda Adventure Safaris more highly, with all thanks to Chris, my guide/tour planner/driver. He made me feel comfortable and safe at... read more all times. Plus, he's a kind soul who is fun to be around and with whom you'll have interesting, engaging conversations. Overall, just a fantastic travel companion/friend!

He is very knowledgeable about Uganda and East Africa in general. I came back from our trip having learned so much. He is also passionate about music, which I loved, so he introduced me to a lot of awesome songs from local artists, as well artists from all over the continent and the world! He was super keen to learn from me too, so we had an amazing time exchanging music and stories throughout the entire trip. I loved hearing some of his music from Japan and Germany--songs that had been introduced to him by previous clients--each of which came with a lovely story and fond memories attached, which I had fun hearing about from Chris. It was a blast!

The itinerary Chris created was perfectly planned. We stayed in clean, comfortable, and beautiful accommodations. And Chris maximized our time by planning our itinerary around what made sense geographically and the routes that we needed to take to get from point A to point B. He was punctual and organized, making for a seamless, stress-free journey.

Chris was also very flexible and fully prioritized my enjoyment of the experience. He went above and beyond to cater the trip to my needs and desires. He's perceptive and thoughtful, always paying attention to things that I liked, and used that to dictate the pace of the trip and the stops we made. He brought me to some breathtaking viewpoints and delicious restaurants. He noticed that I loved the grilled street corn that we once stopped for on the side of the road, and then he made a point to pull over to buy some for me whenever we had the chance.

My sister, Nicole, has taken many trips with Chris with Uganda Adventure Safaris and she has expressed that each trip has been as wonderful as the last. The common threads we have seen in our experiences have been Chris' generosity, kindness, and passion for fostering genuine connections with his clients and creating meaningful, unforgettable experiences on each of his tours.

I could go on and on about how incredible my trip was and how Chris was simply the best, but I'll leave it at this. Whenever I come back to East Africa, I will always choose Uganda Adventure Safaris and recommend you do the same. You will leave with friendship, wisdom, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Great service! Chris is the best - We were 3 friends and Chris our guide and driver for safari and hiking trip. First, I really liked to see tidy, clean and well maintained vehicle. We spent a... read more considerable amount of time in the Land Cruiser and Chris made it feel comfortable. Also the time keeping and schedule was flawless. As a tour guide, Chris has a lot of knowledge of the local roads, nature and animals.
On the personal level we naturally bonded with Chris, and he was very chilled when played music and sang out loud in the car! And patient when we forgot something at the hotel and had to turn around.
When we were at the safari, Chris was persistent on animal tracking and really worked hard so we will see as much animals as possible.
Overall great service! Highly recommend!

Amazing tour with amazing drivers. We are a family of four and this was our first adventure in Uganda. Apollo, Richard, Eddy and Patrick, who were our drivers, were amazing,... read more friendly, funny, safety conscious, and all around wonderful guides. They shared their city with us and made us fee so welcome to their city and country. Thanks to them and thanks to Uganda Adventure Safaris!

Best of Uganda - We returned from our Best of Uganda 16 day personal safari on January 28, 2022. Our planning process started last May. Traveling during Covid presents testing requirements but... read more results in very few people at the safari lodges. Several lodges were only the two of us staying which results in incredible service and attention and minimal vehicles on game drives. If this is a bucket list trip, as it was for us, go before everyone begins to get back to normal travels. Because of the long flights (we left from Las Vegas), plan to stay at least two weeks. We felt 16 days was perfect.

Our itinerary included a Boda Boda (motorbike) tour of Kampala, Siipi Falls, and six national parks (Kidepo, Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi, and Lake Mburo) plus Lake Bunyonyi. The pace of the safari was perfect staying at each park for two nights which enabled us to do numerous game drives plus the Chimpnzee trek and Mountain Gorilla trek.

When we googled mountain gorilla trek in Uganda, Uganda Adventure Safari surfaced immediately. My initial email inquiry was answered immediately by Chris, owner/tour operator/tour guide. From his first email, we could feel his passion for Uganda and its wildlife resources. But what really convinced us to book with Chris was his offer to take just the two of us on our own private safari. SOLD!! We looked no further. We have been on a safari in both Kenya and South Africa so we knew the value and importance of our own private tour.

We booked the middle level of accommodations. Our one request was a private en suite bathroom. Some of the budget accommodations include shared facilities. During Covid this was not an option for us. Chris was very responsive to our numerous questions. Soon we had our final itinerary with accommodations listed. Booking lodges when many were closed to Covid was not an easy task for Chris. It he delivered lodges that exceeded our expectations at every venue. Our last lodge (Kigambira Safari Lodge) was brand new and for two nights it was just the two of us with Chris and his friend/colleague. A couple of days before we left for Uganda, Chris asked if we would be comfortable if a colleague (who had not been to all six national parks) joined us. We were excited to have a second guide join us. Plus another set of eyes to spot game is always a plus. What really impressed us was that Chris had the courtesy to ask us first.

A few words about Chris. You will not find another guide who is more passionate about Uganda. He was born and raised in rural Uganda. He is so knowledgeable about the wildlife and respectful when on game drives not to disturb them. He is also very knowledgeable about birds and trees and plants of Uganda. All of the arrange,ente he made at lodges, boat cruises, gorilla trek permits, chimpanzee trek permits, meals, hikes, and community tours all went off flawlessly. There were no glitches in 16 days of travel. We were so impressed! One advantage to going with Chris is his vast number of contacts in each park. As soon as we got to a national park, he would pop the top on his Land Cruiser and we would be on a game drive. He was constantly checking with his contacts to find out where the lions, leopards, etcwere spotted. He is well known and respected by his colleagues and park rangers.

Of course, the gorilla trek was a highlight. Again, having Chris as our guide resulted in our being placed in a group of people with similar physical abilities which is extremely important. All of our game drives were also highlights. Chris made excellent use of all Dos our time in Uganda. If we fit ti a lodge before din er, we went on a game drive. We were always the first safari vehicle out of the lodge to begin a sunrise game drive. He kept us busy and we benefited by spotting water buffalo, water bucks, eland, giraffes, lions, leopards, pythons, wart hogs, zebras, hippos, elephants, crocodiles, a honey badger, chimpanzees, and mountain gorillas. The amount of wildlife we saw was truly amazing. At our last lodge we had wart hogs and hippos under our tent structure which was on stilts. Our last night a leopard was spotted in the tree 50 yards from our tent. Amazing!!

Chris is an amazing photographer with excellent equipment. Many of his photos are National Geographic quality. At the end of our safari, he generously shared his pictures with us.

Another highlight which was not on our itinerary happened at Queen Elizabeth National Park. The park rangers have pit radio collars on some lions and leopards which they are able to track for research. Chris was able to contact the park rangers to see if we could go on a tracking safari off road to see a big male lion. Chris made all the arrangements and for an extra fee we were able to go on this special game drive. We did see a huge male lion, 8 female lions with cubs, 2 leopards, and 2 rock pythons. Tracking the animals and being able to go off road was such a gift. Without Chris and his contacts and knowledge of this adventure, we would have missed out on something very special. Thanks again, Chris, for this adventure!

Something that surprises us was the quality of our meals. It is impressive what the lodges can do out in the bush, our safari price included all lodges, 2-3 meals a day,all national park entrance fees, chimpanzee trek permit, and gorilla trek permits. Chris bought pineapples along the way which we enjoyed during game drives, Delicious!

Chris picked us up when we landed in Entebbe which was after midnight, he arranged for our departure Covid test at a private hospital with results returned in exactly three hours. He stayed with hs until we had the results and then delivered us to the airport. Everyday he told us what time to meet in the morning. He was always ready and waiting. The Land Cruiser was comfortable and perfect for game drives and photo shooting, He even cleaned the vehicle when it got muddy or dusty, Such service!

Our best advice if you are thinking about this trip is to trust that Chris will do everything he can to make this a trip of a lifetime for you, He is professional, knowledgeable, and just a kind, considerate person. The guide can make or break your trip. Chris definitely made our safari memorable and we would not change a thing. Thanks, Chris, for a trip of a lifetime!

Awesome Safari Experience - My wife and I have recently spent 7 days with Chris around Uganda. The overall experience was marvellous. Gorilla tracking in Bwindi and game drives in Queen Elizabeth and Murchison... read more national parks will remain in our memory forever. Chris is very entertaining and knowledgeable, he organised the entire trip, lodges and safaris, perfectly. I highly recommend him and hopefully will meet him again on other East Africa trips.

Great experience with Uganda Adventure Safaris - I did two gorilla treks with Uganda Adventure Safaris. So amazing. Chris was very transparent and they delivered 100+%. All expectations were met or exceeded and the driver/guide Silas was... read more very knowledgeable, professional and pleasant. Stayed in budget accommodations, in a very beautiful setting and the staff did whatever was needed to offer a good experience. Food was excellent. Would definitely recommend Bakiga Lodge and Uganda Adventure Safaris.

I can definetly recommend a trip with Chris or one of his colleagues for everyone who wants to have more than one once in a lifetime experience. It did´t felt... read more like only two weeks because Chris prepared a big package of possible dirffent experiences for us. We could learn something about Ugandas culture, see the capitol, learn different languages, see wild animals (even a leopard) or do activities like rafting on the nile or absailing. Chris could answer all of our questions - and we had many - regarding people, animals and everything else. During our partially long rides to the next stop we had a lot of fun with him and our driver who accompanied us. He was always patient with us and had our experience and needs on his mind.
I am still flashed of all the expression and will do a trip again with him as soon as possible and bring more friends. His big network of people to support him in all the regions in Uganda made it possible to see a lot of Uganda and the people in two weeks - more that I could have imagined before

We made an adventure tour with Cris in July 2022. It was a perfect combination of Uganda’s culture and its wildlife. Two weeks of impressions which you keep for ever... read more with you. We made this trip as 4 friends. After the trip we were 6 friends Chris made us feel really comfortable and never aline in the new culture. We are already planning to come back.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Uganda adventure tours, Chris was great at communicating with us and organising our trip. He was very accommodating as we changed... read more our itinerary whilst on the tour. We had Silas as our guide and he was great, full of knowledge and friendly. We left feeling extremely lucky to have seen and experienced everything on our list. The service/ accommodation was beyond what we expected as well, we had an incredible time. Thank you

Rolex - I had one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! The safari was easy very flexible and beautiful every step of the way!!

Safari of our lives  - We had the safari of a lifetime with Uganda Adventure Safaris. It was my girlfriend's first trip to Uganda, but she was only there for a few days, so... read more we wanted to make it as memorable as possible for her.

One of my friends recommended a safari with Chris. Chris drafted a 3-day itinerary with the best recommendations. He was punctual, friendly and flexible every time we asked to stop, whether to grab a coffee or a Rolex or to take a photo.

Following our visit to the Rhino sanctuary in the morning, we headed up to Murchison Falls in the afternoon. Chris spontaneously took us on a short game drive that evening to see if we could spot any rare animals. We spent the night at the Red Chilli Rest Camp where we enjoyed a cold beer with Chris around the bonfire.

Thanks to Chris's knowledge of the park and acquaintance with several guides in the area, we were among the first people in the park to see the rare lions the following morning. The story is endless...

On the way back, we visited the falls and played some outstanding music from Chris and our Belgian playlist. We look forward to doing something like this with our three-year-old son again next year and definitely with Chris

Just amazing. - I have just completed 11 days with Uganda Adventure Safaris as a solo female traveler, and I cannot tell you how amazing it was. The organisation through Chris right from... read more the start was seamless and easy. Constant WhatsApps helped me to feel reassured that I had picked the right company to go with! Unfortunately, Chris wasn’t able to join me on safari but he put me with a truly lovely female guide, Leticia, who made the trip incredible. Everything from the safaris to 2 gorilla treks and chimp trekking could not have been better. I celebrated my birthday while I was there and was surprised with a cake and a little party to make it truly special. I cannot recommend this company enough, Uganda is a truly special country and I already cannot wait to return!
