Eco Adventure Safaris Limited Avis 

We had unique experience, our guide (Allan) was awesome and gentleman.

Where do we even begin?!?

We knew we wanted to visit somewhere in Africa but were overwhelmed where to go and what tour operator to go through given there are so many options at different prices…but oh are we glad that we found Eco Adventure Safaris!

From day one Patrick was amazing, very responsive and so full of ideas (he gave us options we weren’t aware even existed so that we could get the true African adventure!) Whilst Eco Adventure Safaris operate in many different countries, we decided on a 9 day trip to Uganda and were absolutely blown away by the itinerary he pulled together for us! We experienced everything and more we ever could have dreamed of thanks to Patrick and our guide Silas and cannot thank them enough.

We felt completely safe throughout the whole process and throughout our time in Uganda; Silas is an absolute gem who went above and beyond to make us feel so special (if you are lucky enough to have Silas as your guide, you’re in for and absolute treat and will likely make a friend for life!)

The attention to detail the whole team have is beyond amazing and the local knowledge they have is sure to make your trip so much more special and unique than the larger tour operators (we were so thankful to have decided on a private tour for many reasons including the flexibility and personalisation). Overall, nothing we asked seemed like it was too much trouble (for example on our final night we decided to change accommodation on the day to be closer to the rhinos, Silas and Patrick went above and beyond to arrange this for us without any interruption to our day which we are so thankful for).

We cannot wait to come back one day, and will for sure be using Eco Adventure Safaris, and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone!

Godfrey from Eco Adventure Safaris was my guide in Uganda. He was very kind, patient, and let me know exactly how far we were and how long it would take to get to each destination. I recommend you ask for him. He was genuinely interested in .you day.🤙👍

We spent 8 days with Eco Adventure in Uganda and were more than happy with our experience. From the beginning Patrick was very helpful and responsive, answered every question quickly and put together the perfect itinerary according to our wishes. We went to several different national parks and to see the chimpanzees and gorillas. Seeing the primates in the wild was one of the best things we have ever done and such a special experience.
The lodges they chose were all very nice (especially Aardvark), most of them using renewable energy, helping the local community and using fresh local food. The service at the lodges was always great.
Our guide Ronnie had many years of experience which really paid off since he knew the best places in the parks to spot the animals and had lots of interesting information and stories to share. We had a big and comfortable 4x4 drive, which made the long drives feel much shorter.
Overall we were very happy with our experience, had an unforgettable time and would book a trip with Eco Adventure again anytime.

For a long time I have wanted to go to Uganda to photograph the Shoebills at Mabamba Swamp and wild Gorillas, many times I have been put off by the UK government's advice page on travelling abroad saying its dangerous and risky, not to go unless it's absolutely necessary, however as I get older I decided to ignore that advice and go before I am less able (70 next year) I had some great links to Uganda based safari companies from an ecologist friend who has recently worked in Uganda. ECO Adventure Safaris were the most helpful right from my first enquiry, Patrick is the most helpful person I have dealt with when organising trips, he offered suggestions and was incredibly flexible, my initial 10 day plan evolvolved in 19 days as I added extra locations I wanted to visit, I did get some quotes from elsewhere as I planned but ECO proved to be the most competetive. I wanted to go solo to have the ability to spend time with whatever wildlife I saw so I got the best photo oportunities, this was made even better by being paired with Elias my driver guide who is a very competent birder, with his help I got 14 lifers and 9 endemic species and photographs of them too!
Every day was a new adventure, some aspects very unexpected such as being stuck in dreadfully muddy roads after heavy rain. I had the most amazing time and have over 15,000 images to edit as a result.
As for the UK Government's warnings, ignore them, Uganda is a beautiful country and everyone I met was incredibly friendly and at no time did I feel threatened or at risk.
Go it's an amazing place, use ECO, Patrick is fantastic and flexble with your needs, the vehicles are tough and well equiped so you can charge camera batteries and phones in them, also has a fridge with cold drinks... and you will need them. I will soon be planning another visit. A huge thank you to both Patrick and Elias.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team for all your time and support with my parents. They loved their time in Bwindi and felt very warmly welcomed. They really enjoyed the company of Pascal the driver and they wanted to highlight his excellent work.

We visit Kahuzi-Biega national park for a 3 day 2 night gorilla trek. We had 2 adults and 3 kids ages -7, 12, and 10. We decided on the DRC because of the cost difference of the permits.

We had such a wonderful experience! Patrick our host was so helpful, knowledgeable and patient! The hike to the gorillas was difficult (I underestimated how difficult it would be…but obviously that just depends where the gorilla family is when you visit!) but our kids did well. Eco Adventure Safari’s was super professional and helpful in customizing the trip so we could make it work with our limited time (we ended up actually doing a 1.5 day 1 night trip basically 😝).

I’d highly recommend this to anyone planning to visit the region! We felt safe the entire time. Just make sure you have PERFECT $100 bills for the visas at the border crossing bc apparently $100 is only worth $100 if it’s crisp and fresh 😅

Farewell Democratic Republic of the Congo!!! This was truly one of the best trips I have ever taken. The people were so welcoming, seeing the Bonobos was a gift from nature, I fulfilled a lifelong dream to stand in the stadium where Ali regained the title from Foreman, and saw Mobutu's Chinese Palace. Coming to DRC checked so many boxes on my list and stirred so many joyous memories from the past. Thank you Eco Adventure Safaris. Patrick was fantastic to work with to plan this trip. He was quick to respond, answered all my questions, and was very professional. When he could not join the adventure he told me he would trust the guide, Ernest, from DRC with his life. After traveling with Ernest, I feel the same. ERNEST OBE OFULASILA was the best guide ever!!! There was a mishap along the way, but Ernest was ready with a fast and efficient solution, and with a great sense of humor. I had a fantastic time and definitely recommend booking with them and traveling to the DRC. For me, this was a trip of a lifetime.

Eco helped us book a 5 day Gorilla Trekking Experience in Uganda including a private driver and a private flight from Entebbe to Maasai Mara (Kenya) and everything went smoothly - it was a wonderful trip! We recommend chosing Eco!

This trip has truly been magical. I’ve spent 9 days in Uganda, where I did the wildlife and primates tour.
Elias, being part of the Eco Safari team, was such a great host/guide/driver. He’s a truly walking encyclopaedia, puts your interests always first and drives very safely. The (midrange) lodges the team have selected were great too. Astonishing views, great comfort and good food!
There’s absolutely no doubt I wouldn’t recommend you to book your next holidays with Elias and Eco Safari. They’re simply the best.

Eco Adventures was amazing. We had many last minute changes to our schedule that they were able to adjust for, providing lots of flexibility to fit exactly what we were looking for. We planned our trip very last minute, and they did a geat job creating an itinerary that would help us make the most of our time. Our guide, Godfrey was great at making sure we had a geat experience. We loved visiting Uganda, large part of it due to Eco Adventure - thank you!!

We worked extensively with Eco Adventure Safaris on a custom multi country itinerary. We'd still be stuck in the Burundi Airport if not for our driver/guide Patrick whose contacts and know-how everywhere we went were invaluable. We gave Eco Adventures an impossibly aggressive itinerary which they executed despite border closings and flooding. Further, the range of knowledge that Patrick, our driver/guide, showed extended to botany, ornithology and biology. He could tell you anything you wanted to know about any plant, bird or animal in the most casual way. He also knew how to find them as our itinerary included safari's in National Parks. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we were always and always felt safe. If you want to know the price contact Eco Adventure Safaris. If you want to know the value for the price we are testimony to their professionalism and ability.

We had the BEST trip.

Our itinerary was spot-on so a big thanks to Patrick. We were SO lucky to have our amazing guide/driver, Alex. From gorilla trekking to safari adventures, every moment felt like a dream. Our trip wouldn't have been half as amazing without Alex leading the way and being so great.

I was so grateful for the care taken to cater to my allergy at every place we stayed, despite the inconvenience it caused. Every lodge that we stayed at was lovely, with delightfully friendly staff who made our trip even more special.

Uganda has definitely stolen my heart!

When we first considered going to Uganda, we could never have guessed that we would end up having the holiday of a lifetime. That is, in no small part, down the exceptional service offered by Eco Adventure Safaris.

Patrick (the founder of the company, an exceptional tour organiser and an even better human being) organised our trip for us. We requested heavily customised itinerary but at every step we were met with unbelievable enthusiasm and passion. No demand too big. No request too small. As a result, we had the most incredible vacation and got to experience the stunning beauty of Uganda.

The advantage of using a local tour operator and guide couldn’t have been embodied more than by Alex, our indefatigable and utterly wonderful guide. Over 8 days, he showed us the very best of the country that he’s so proud to call home. From Gorilla trekking, to meeting his friends and dining at some of his favorite local hangouts - Alex made sure that we got the most out of every single day. He was warm, funny, kind and generous. By the end of our trip we had made a friend for life.

I cannot recommend Eco Adventure Safaris enough. They offer tremendous value for money, and a superb service.

We had a really fantastic trip with Eco Adventures to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Communication when booking and leading up to the trip was fantastic, and the trip itself was even better. The Gorilla trek itself totally exceeded our expectations and was a totally magical experience. Our guide Abdul was very professional and always made sure our needs were being met. Would definitely recommend this company for a Gorilla experience.

Embarking on a one-day safari journey to Murchison Falls Park in Uganda was an unforgettable adventure that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped into the sturdy 4x4 vehicles, it was evident that our comfort and safety were top priorities. The vehicles were spacious, well-maintained, and equipped with open rooftops, offering panoramic views of the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife.

Our knowledgeable guides added an extra layer of excitement to the experience with their expertise and passion for the local ecosystem. Their keen eyes and insightful commentary helped us spot an impressive array of animals, from elephants and giraffes to elusive leopards. Their intimate knowledge of the park's really enriched the whole experience.

One of the highlights of our trip was a boat trip to see Murchison Falls, where the Nile River plunges through a narrow gorge, creating a powerful cascade of water. Seeing loads of hippo's along the way was a nice treat.

Overall, our one-day safari to Murchison Falls Park was awesome. With top-notch vehicles, expert guides, and an abundance of awe-inspiring sights, it's an experience for life.

I'd highly recommend Eco Adventure Safari's for a day trip, or longer if time permits!

Everyone was amazing, helpful and hospitable. Guides made me feel safe sights were amazing and the whole trip was more than enjoyable.
You guys are the best thank you so much

Booked Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking in Uganda with Eco Adventure Safaris for February 2024. Unfortunately we had to cancel due to a visa issue. Communication with EAS was flawless. Patrick was really helpful!
Would definitely book here again in the future.

Patrick made a custom trip for us including all the things we wanted to see.
Alex our driver and guide was excellent. Super friendly and knowledgable he made sure we had a holiday we would never forget. He is a skilled driver and great company.
We would highly recommend Eco Adventure Safaris for your trip to Uganda.

Did a trip with a friend and Eco Adventure Safaris was fantastic from the get go. Patrick provided plenty of detail and created a tailored itinerary for our tour in Rwanda to include a safari in Akagera, Gorilla and golden monkey tour in Volcano National Park and chimpanzee tracking in Nyungwe. Communication was clear and our guide Elias was absolutely amazing. Always on time and took great pains to make sure we were always comfortable and having a wonderful time. He was always keen to show us the best parts of Rwandan culture and introduced us to some fantastic dishes and banana beer! This is a great tour company and they clearly try to give their guests the best time visiting their country. Elias told us they do tours all over East Africa and next time we are back we will be sure to get in touch!
