This trip was extraordinary. Uganda itself is amazing but Eco Adventure Safaris makes it even more cool. They got your back while you explore this incridle territory in Africa.

The booking process was quick and smooth and we got all the information we needed to move fast through vis, vaccination and covid entry requirements to Uganda.

The lodges chosen on our trip were on budget side with basic comfort however the provided service was super great. All in one, we highly recommend this agency.

This review is for a 5 day gorilla trek + safari (Queen Elizabeth NP) from Kigali to Kampala.

I am not sure how I stumbled on this company, but when I emailed Patrick he responded immediately. He was always quick to respond (I'm not sure he sleeps!) and was transparent with pricing and immediately listed the lodges so that I could check the quality. When I later added a friend, he had no problem adjusting pricing. The company also accepts credit cards (with a small surcharge), which I appreciated. Leading up to the trip, we were given our guide's name and we switched to Whatsapp once I was in country.

The lodges Patrick booked were great (Bakiga and Elephant Hab).

Our assigned guide/driver was Alex. He arrived at our hotel in Kigali on time. However, he got lost getting out of time and needed us to use our data to navigate him out of the city (the same happened navigating to hotel near Entebbe). Thankfully, one of us had service (my eSIM card never activated).

Throughout the trip, Alex always had water available in the vehicle. The vehicle was a reliable Land Cruiser (as opposed to a mini van), which is better for game drives. Alex's driving was generally safe, although there were a few times where I thought maybe he drove too fast over bumps/speed humps. Each evening, Alex would lay out the plan for the next day, which was good.

On game drives, Alex had a great eye. When I mentioned that I wanted to see the tree climbing lions, he coordinated to stop in that part of the park, even though it wasn't on the original itinerary. We got lucky and did see them! He also worked hard to find leopards for us and I can't believe that he spotted one in a bush and we had 15-20 minutes alone with 2 leopards (2!!!!).

There were some times where I thought things could be improved. He took a bunch of phone calls in the car (that seemed unrelated to us and our tour) and there was a lot of chit chatting with other guides and we would be standing around and waiting to leave. He also didn't really give us a lot of information about the animals. We have been on numerous safaris, but it is still nice to hear things as I think you can always learn something new.

Overall, I would highly recommend this company. I felt safe throughout (2 women travelers) and I had a great experience.

We recently did a 5 days/4 nights tour in Rwanda with Eco Adventure Safaris, covering the main highlights of the country (chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe NP, Lake Kivu, gorilla trekking & golden monkey trekking in Volcanoes NP and Kigali). Eco Adventure Safaris were absolutely fabulous, we were super happy with the experience and would definitely recommend them!

Pros
- From the first contact, Patrick was incredibly helpful and efficient, always super quick to respond (record was 5 mins after I sent an email), very diligent in his answers, and he was also super flexible and accommodating with changes to the itinerary right up to the last minute
- Our driver guide, Godfrey, was excellent, very knowledgeable, professional and friendly, and drove super safely despite the at times rather treacherous roads and long journeys
- We had a large safari-style cruiser, which was very comfortable and modern inside (e.g. charging points). Unfortunately on the last day of the trip the car started having some power issues, but Godfrey made sure that we weren't impacted and that the tour continued smoothly regardless
- Price was competitive versus several other local companies we reached out to, and also was relatively transparent when comparing different options (e.g. when comparing hotel A vs. B, as opposed to just pocketing the difference)
- They included complimentary transfers in Kigali before and after the tour, and even an extra transit in Kigali when we needed to change hotel last minute
- The website is absolutely a gold mine of information, it was probably the most helpful resource we were able to find when deciding how to put together our itinerary and what to prioritise

Other considerations
- Eco Adventure Safaris is based in Uganda, so our driver guide and the vehicle were from Uganda. We were totally happy with that because we had a great experience, but if you feel very strongly about wanting someone local (i.e. from Rwanda in Rwanda), it might be worth checking that with Patrick...
- Before we booked, given this was all online and you have to pay upfront, we were a bit nervous about whether they were a legitimate company! We did as much research as we could (e.g. trying to check their UTB license, contacting some past reviewers), but we didn't get any answers! Anyway, now there are a lot more TA reviews so hopefully that gives comfort to future customers! :)

I chose Eco Adventures Safari for a 2-week circuit for a group of 12 people in Rwanda and Uganda. Everything was perfectly organized by them. Patrick organized our circuit in the smallest detail. The drivers Charles and Elias, very attentive to details, patient and the information provided by them was very useful.

Next year I want to return to Uganda and I will also collaborate with them.

Thank you for all the help during the 2 weeks we spent together.

Eco adventure safaris, a very highly service-minded professional company, specifically Patrick is very quick to respond to all enquiries both on e-mails and voicecalls as well as WhatsApp.
Though I made orders from abroad and paid upfront in dollars 6 months before my arrival they always reassured me of my booking and great cancellation policy.
I was so surpirised that phones are attended to 24/7 with notable smiles in the voices you hear, which really saved my family's start of holidays as we arrived to our destination in the night and lost direction in the forest but was safely guided by Patrick and rest of Eco Adventure crew to the door. The destination in Kibale national park was in a lovely cottage far beyond our expectation as we expected a tent camping in litteral sense but this was a kind of five star camp place with extremely comfortable beds and quality bathrooms. We even got room service free of charge. Meals were on time and staff were very kind and chatty and they always shared contagious smiles that made one feel so welcome and at home.

Eco adventure Safaris made this possible for us. It is a very trustworthy company indeed. Highly recommended for any Safari tours in Uganda. I'll definitely book more of my safari tours thru them in future.

Amazing Tour by Eco Adventures Safaris and our Amazing guide Elias! Patrick was very accommodating in the booking process, answering all my questions & concerns, making it seem effortless! If you want the Best Gorilla / Chimpanzee treks, definitely book with Eco Adventures! Elias was an Awesome guide, friendly, knowledgeable, fun, & professional! He told us about Uganda, its history, as well as the history of the surrounding countries! He taught us about & identified the various plants, trees, birds, animals etc. we saw along our journey!
He introduced us to Ugandan food, serving us lunch at a traditional restaurant! He made the drives over bumpy, unpaved, roads seem like nothing! He’s definitely the best driver as well as guide!! The lodges were beautiful, built on the sides of mountain terraces with the most incredible views and impeccable service! I highly recommend adding on the boat ride to see the hippos, elephants, & other animals!! The gorilla treks are all different hikes depending on your ability & family following! Prior to starting, the village people do a dance & welcome ceremony with local music & singing! We hiked ~ 1 1/2 hrs through beautiful jungle with the best local guides Ronald, Robert, & Jane and it was worth it! There are no words to describe Spending time with the gorillas in their natural habitat, magical! Make sure you take gloves & rain jacket, very happy we had brought them! Milka was our local guide for the chimpanzee trek & was amazing at making sure we got the best views of them! Chimpanzee trek was much easier & faster than the gorilla one, it was flat land trails!
The entire 6 day experience was out of this world and once in a lifetime!! A must do and a must do with Eco Adventures as your tour company & Elias as your guide! We can’t recommend it enough, they made it a perfect trip and perfect experience!!

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!

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 floodings. 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 just came back from our amazing 8-days-trip to Rwanda where we had the opportunity to see so many beautiful animals.
The organization from Eco Adventure Safaris was spotless, Sophia answered all our questions and change requests to the itinerary so fast and she had a lot of great ideas to cater to our expectations.
Our driver guide Elias was with us the whole time and provided us with so much information on the country, culture and the animals that it was never boring, even at the long drives between the three national parks (Volcanoes, Nyungwe and Akagera). He suggested good photo stops along the way and also was very helpful when we had some extra requests (for example stopping at a pharmacy, a money exchange,…). He knows Rwanda very well!
We can only recommend booking a tour with Eco Adventure Safari and the guide Elias. We had some of the best experiences of our lives during the trip!

We were in Uganda to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday and to see gorillas, a lifelong dream of hers. Patrick was fantastic and helped to create an itinerary for us that included chimp, golden monkey and gorilla trekking, as well as time spent in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Uganda is incredibly beautiful and the people are so warm and friendly, and Eco adventures organized and facilitated our trip in a wonderful way. Patrick was extremely responsive and communicative and handled special things such as organizing a cake for mom on her birthday, and assuring that there were vegetarian options for my brother. When we had a last minute itinerary change request he handled it for us, no problem. Our driver Hannington was very sweet. We had many, many hours in the safari vehicle on dirt roads and he did a great job of getting us from place to place safely. I would definitely recommend a trip to Uganda with this company!
