Went on the 2 day Gorilla Trek and Golden Monkeys Trek. Kaara was very accomodating and flexible with my plan changes. The guide, Ronald, was great as well! So glad went with a longer drive from Kigali into Uganda with them for the Gorilla Trek.
The experience with the gorillas words are insufficient! The rest of the tour was well planned and we were well taken care of. Faruk was very detail oriented explaining about the surrounding landscapes and beyond. The lodging was top notch as well as the 3 course meals every night. Faruk also had snacks and water ready for us at every stop! The vehicle was new, clean, and very comfortable! This is a trip not to be missed! You will be very well taken care of!
I did a solo gorilla trek in Uganda and it was absolutely amazing. Trekking through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to see wild mountain gorillas up close was surreal—peaceful, powerful, and something I’ll never forget. Driving all over Uganda was eye opening and an amazing way of seeing Africa. Huge shoutout to Farouk, my guide, who was fantastic. He made me feel completely comfortable as a solo traveler and was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. The whole trip was well-organized, safe, and unforgettable from start to finish. He took care of anything I needed and made sure I was comfortable from start to finish. If you're thinking about doing this—especially solo—go for it. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Our guide Farouk made a great trip even better. All our needs and requests were more than met by his kindness and care. He was a great driver on tricky roads and we are grateful for his experience and knowledge. High recommend from us.
Farouk was a wonderful guide and happy to answer any and all questions about the local towns and life in Africa! Everything was taken of for me and communication was excellent! The Golden Monkeys and Gorilla experiences were magical and I would highly recommend to anyone with the means to book this tour!
Great experience. My guide Gerard was amazing. Seeing the gorillas was outstanding. The lodge selection was good.
We did 4 days in Uganda with Kaara adventures to trek Gorilla’s and Chimpanzees. In the process of planning the trip Jovia was very helpful and flexible to organize the trip exactly as i wanted. Since we only had a short time between our arriving- and departing flight and also we went at the end of the rain season it needed to be perfect and so it was. Our driver Eddie was super nice and he really made sure we had an unforgetable time. All in all i would recommend Uganda and Kaara adventures to everybody who is looking for a once in a lifetime experience!
The trip itself was amazing. Our driver / tour guide (Ronnie) was unbelievable. He made us feel very safe throughout the journey and he was incredibly kind. My wife and I got to see gorillas within meters away apart from all kinds of animals in the game drive (safari). I highly recommend using this agency and, if possible, ask for Ronnie.
While I was getting bored in my house in pandenic, I decided to go to Africa. In my trip, these guy made my experience just unforgotable. Especially I want to mention the 4 Day Gorilla and Chimps trek safari experice and it's just amazing. I want to thank their guide Tomson. He is friendly and very supportive guy ever I have seen. Best wishes for them.

This trip is one of the best experiences of my lifetime. Our guide Tomson, was amazing. He has a wide knowledge and expertise in birds, animals and culture. We could not have asked for a better guide to take us around Uganda. The activities we had were exceptional with excellent service. We really love the hotel we stayed in and meals were superb! I highly recommend this 4 Days Gorilla and Chimps trek safari.
I had a four day tour with my course mates.This place helped us to know more about wide life and nature as a whole.Very good tour guide who helped us in touring around the place and they have good customer service too.I will surely return to this place next year to build more on what i learnt previously.
It was an amazing adventure going for a 4 day trek to watch gorillas and chimps. I learned a lot of things about their socialization and way of life. We took great pictures as chimps jumped from one tree to another. What was breathtaking was when we were given the opportunity to feed the primates. It was wonderful watching them eat. I would love to go for another trip.
I had an amazing experience in Uganda. i saw animals that i haven't seen before, gorillas and chimps. it real a pleasant holiday thanks to Kaara Adventures.
Had a wonderful time with my family last year when I went for the 5 days gorilla and chimps trek. My kids and my wife were excited. It was a nice adventure for us. Thanks.
i haven't seen a gorilla live before and that was my first time it was a thriller experience but the guides took care of us they guided us all the way we enjoyed very much yeah thanks to them
