Eco Adventure Safaris Limited Avis 

Our holiday in Uganda was truly unforgettable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

From the very beginning, Patrick was incredibly responsive, reassuring, and helpful. We had some concerns because of the Ebola reports before we travelled, but Patrick kept us well informed and put our minds at ease. It turned out there were no issues during our trip. He listened to what we wanted, offered great suggestions, and worked with us to create our dream holiday.

Some of the highlights were the gorillas, chimps, Kidepo national park and the opportunity to visit local communities and experience the real Uganda. These authentic encounters made our trip even more special and memorable.

A special thank you also goes to our driver and guide, Hannington, who was amazing. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and keen eye for wildlife made every day exciting. He even spotted a leopard, which was an incredible experience! He also took us to enjoy delicious local food with local people, giving us a genuine insight into Ugandan culture. He was informative, friendly, and always went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience.

We would highly recommend this team.

Outstanding Experience with Eco Adventure Uganda

We couldn’t have asked for a better company for our Tanzania and Uganda adventure.

From our very first inquiry, the communication was outstanding. Every question was answered quickly, clearly, and professionally, giving us confidence throughout the entire planning process.

One of the biggest advantages was booking directly with a Ugandan company instead of through international intermediaries. The itinerary was identical to those offered by agencies in other countries, but at almost half the price. We received exceptional value without compromising on quality.

The itinerary they designed was excellent, combining the highlights of Tanzania and Uganda in a seamless journey. Every detail was well planned, and everything ran smoothly.

Before our trip there was an Ebola outbreak in Uganda, and naturally we were concerned. Eco Adventure was transparent, reassuring, and always available to discuss the situation. They explained how Uganda’s health authorities manage these outbreaks and were ready to create alternative plans immediately if necessary. In the end, we followed the original itinerary and felt completely safe throughout the trip.

During our journey, one of us became ill, and the support we received was exceptional. They helped us access medical care quickly, checked on us constantly, and made sure we were well taken care of. That level of personal attention meant a great deal to us.

We were also deeply impressed by our driver-guides. They were knowledgeable, kind, respectful, and genuinely passionate about wildlife conservation. They always kept the appropriate distance from animals, never pressured wildlife for better photos, and even stopped to pick up plastic bottles along the roads. That reflects the kind of values we appreciate most. For us, protecting nature and wildlife should always come before tourism, and Eco Adventure clearly shares that philosophy.

Finally, as two women traveling alone, we always felt safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. Every member of the team treated us with professionalism and kindness, making us feel comfortable from beginning to end.

We wholeheartedly recommend Eco Adventure to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania and Uganda. It was an unforgettable experience, made even better by a company that truly cares about its guests, its country, and its wildlife.

We booked a 7-day trip around northern Rwanda (with a focus on Volcanoes National Park). The communication with Eco Adventures was smooth and easy. They arranged everything for us, including accommodation, transport, and all the different permits. Our driver Jean was friendly, flexible and accommodating to our needs. He also was really helpful when we had a medical emergency. Highly recommend booking with them!

Absolutely magical 9 days of gorillas, chimpanzees, elephants, rhinos, hippos, lions, leopards and the natural beauty of Rwanda and Uganda. Our trip was a dream come true. Our driver, Elias was so knowledgeable about the animals and the political history. He made us feel so safe and taken care of. Everything was tailored to our wishes. I highly recommend Eco Adventure

5 day Gorilla Trek with Game Drives and other experiences:
Struggling to put into words how good this adventure was. Our guide Charles picked us up from Entebbe and chauffeured us safely across Uganda! We were quite lucky and saw 2 lion cubs, a tree climbing lion (in a tree!) as well as a hippo out of water. The boat trip down the Kazinga was so cool as we saw elephants playing around in the water. The gorilla trekking was incredible, a truly mind-blowing experience. Driving through Uganda for approximately 22hrs was a great way to see the country in comfort and only added to the experience.

The accommodation was well picked, with some close encounters with elephants at Buffalo Lodge (a must!). The food was plentiful and to a high standard.

We took our niece on her graduation trip to Uganda, so we could trek with the gorillas and chimpanzees. We specifically chose Eco Adventure Safaris for their ratings and itinerary. Were there hiccups? Of course, it is Africa. But their staff, especially our guide, Silas, quickly pivoted and immediately came up with alternative solutions. The amount of wildlife we saw was amazing (thanks to Silas' expert spotting). Silas took fantastic care of us; we met as strangers and left family. We were so blessed to have him as our guide. We've been to Africa 4 times previously, and Uganda is very special. Not only are Uganda's scenery and national parks beautiful, but the people are so gracious, welcoming, and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Trekking z gorylami w Mgahinga to niesamowite doświadczenie. Wszystko było bardzo dobrze zorganizowane, bezpieczne i profesjonalne od początku do końca. Przewodnicy dbali o grupę i szczegółowo tłumaczyli zasady. Całość przebiegła sprawnie i w przyjaznej atmosferze. To wyjątkowe przeżycie zdecydowanie warte pieniędzy, które trzeba zapłacić.

Spent 5 absolutely fantastic days with Charles in Uganda to go chimp-and gorilla trekking! I couldnt be more happy about my stay!

After having done safaris in several african countries, including kenya, south africa and botswana, I can really say the one eco adventure safaris organized for me in uganda is something very different. There something truly unique and amazing about seeing these human-like creature so close in real life.

Charles did a great job being my driver and guide for the tour. He was always on time, answered all my questions and stopped along the road wherever I wanted. African time was not a concept when travelling with Charles😂 When I next time come back to africa with the rest of my family, I want Charles to be my guide again!

The trip felt very safe, both in traffic and the places we stayed. The accomodations always had fantastic views over the rainsforests and food was always on point. 11/10 points for these epic 5 days!

An amazing experience, our guide Charles did a wonderful job transporting us to some very welcoming accomodations and providing us with excellent service and care during our trip. The experiences themselves were nice in a lifetime, we got to see gorillas and chimpanzees as well as countless other wildlife. Would definitely recommend the service and care of this company for coming back to Uganda!

Having never travelled to Rwanda or Uganda I didn’t know what to expect. One word WOW - beautiful countryside, wildlife and best of all the people. This trip took us from Kigale, Rwanda to Bwindi National Park, Uganda with a stopover at the genocide museum. We met Eco Adventure Safaris in Kigale and drove across the border to Bwindi National Park for our gorilla trek in a very comfortable jeep. The Kigale to Bwindi drive is worth considering as it’s much shorter than getting to Bwindi from other cities in Uganda, plus Rwanda is a must! Our accommodation in Bwindi was a spacious, lovely lodge and the gorilla trek incredible along with the team involved in the conservation of gorillas. In the afternoon we visited the Pygmy (Batwa) village - a cultural experience which included traditional dance and what life was like in the forest. What a warm, passionate group and definitely worth doing. Our driver Edgar was the best - not only knowledgeable about Uganda, it’s wildlife and gorillas but also very accommodating. The whole trip was amazing and a once in a lifetime experience. I cannot recommend Eco Adventure Safaris highly enough. We will book with them again without hesitation. Thank you Tonia & Michael

We had an amazing, once in a lifetime experience meeting the beautiful Bweza gorilla family. We also got to meet the lovely local community and the dancing groups. We hiked about 6km in total, a few hours in a group of 8. We got super close to them in their natural habitat. All the Rangers involved were very knowledgeable and took great pride in caring for the gorillas and keeping them safe. Our driver/guide Charles was very friendly, knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He went out of his way to make it a great and comfortable trip.

We had a great tour with ecoAdventure to Bwindi and Kibale national parks. Walked to a couple of hours to see the gorillas and one hour to see the chimpanzees. People in the parks knew what they were doing. Our guide was kind, friendly and punctual. Lodges were charming and had all conveniences.

We had a lovely 5-day monkey / gorilla trek with Godfrey, our guide, in November. We did the canopy walk, chimpanzee trek (which was too long that day after hiking Kilimanjaro a few days before), cultural experience, gorillas, and golden monkeys. Godfrey was an awesome guide! We learned so much about Rwanda, a country that really surprised us. Godfrey was full of information and was able to answer all our questions. On the way out of Kigali, we learned so much about the city and its history. And he pulled over whenever we wanted pictures. The gorilla experience cannot be matched, but we might try Uganda in the future. Although we did not see chimpanzees, that was not our main goal, and it was just not in the cards. The guide had us hiking over 7 miles to get to them, which even he admitted was a lot longer than normal. Not his fault, they just kept moving farther away from our starting point, and since my husband was unable to go very fast, he'd turned around so I felt like I just couldn't be gone longer. I did miss out, as they did find them another 10 minutes up the trail (the 10 minutes I spent arguing with the guide that I was done and heading back!), but that's OK. It was a beautiful hike, and again, wasn't on my short list of things to see. We thoroughly enjoyed our treks and are hoping to meet Godfrey again in Uganda someday!

Very easy communication.
Pick up on exact time as planned.
Nice lodges.
Impressive wildlife.

Charles was an amazing driver and guide! He was kind, courteous, and punctual. He went out of his way to make sure we were able to see the beautiful countries of Uganda and Rwanda on our schedule and purchase souvenirs despite us having bank issues mid-trip! I highly recommend booking a trip with Eco Adventure Safaris!

I booked a Gorilla and Chimpanzee 4 day tour. Picked up and dropped off in Kampala where I was based.

From the start Michelle in the office was excellent. Very quick responses in organising the trip. Excellent communication - easy to understand and straightforward. The accommodation booked was all in great locations, close to the walk meet up points and permits all sorted.

My guide for the 4 days was Charles. The vehicle was great for the driving conditions. He was easy to speak with, reminded me of the plan each day and timings and had me dropped off and picked up at the correct places for the treks in plenty of time. On our long drives was happy to answer many questions about Uganda and the places we were passing through. Also had plenty of information on things we saw/wildlife etc we passed.

I would not hesitate on using Eco Adventure Safaris again if I were to travel back to Uganda. My trip was seamless.

We took a 1-day trip to Murchinson Falls national park. The organization of the tour was impeccable and the itinerary was amazing: game drive, boat safari, lunch, sightseeing of the falls. Our guide was Charles, who was an incredible driver, being very informative and helpful through the entire trip. The van was also very comfortable and allowed for a great adventure. Strongly recommended.

We went on a 10 day safari with Eco Adventure. It was a trip of a lifetime. Alex, our tour guide, could not have been better. He cared so much that we had a good time and saw everything we wanted to. His goal was to not only meet our expectations but exceed them and indeed he did. Eco Adventures was always on top of all correspondence. Even hit a few snags along the way and they did not skip a beat to fix them We would HIGHLY recommend using them for any trips. We know we will. Its a pleasure to write this review.

We have recently returned from a 11 day trip with Eco Safaris, booked through Patrick. The wonderful memories made will remain with us for the rest of our lives. Our friendly, informative guide, Elias took us to destinations, such as Mabamba Swamp for Shoebill Stork watching, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Chimpanzee Trekking, Murchison Falls, Kazinga Channel, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Gorilla trekking and much, much more. The accommodation was perfect, with delicious food at each Lodge. We travelled through the most stunning countryside & vibrant villages. It was fascinating learning about local traditions and everyone we met was so welcoming and friendly.
Elias made our holiday perfect with his warm and cordial approach. He went out of his way to arrange special celebrations for us as we celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary, all of which we are so very grateful. It was a fabulous holiday. We loved our experience in Uganda & travelling with Elias. We highly recommend Eco Safaris, and for future travels, wouldn’t hesitate to use the company again. Go to Uganda ….its stunning!
Julie and Steve (UK).

Ronnie King and Patrick Kataama were our tour guides. Both went out of their way to be wonderful hosts.
Accommodations were clean, laundry service was available at a few places. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were provided daily. There was always guidance and answers to any questions we had. We always felt safe and their recommendations were spot on. Seeing the Golden Monkeys, Chimpanzees and Gorillas in their natural habitat was an experience like no other! I look forward to next time I'm on another adventure in Uganda to use Eco Adventure Safaris!
