Awesome Adventure people say that traveling to Africa is a trip of a lifetime. Well, that is certainly true for me. We were a group of family and friends, who traveled through Uganda and Rwanda for about 12 days. I thought the trip was a great blend of tracking and seeing wildlife, but also learning about culture. The highlight, of course, was seeing the mountain gorillas. our driver, Chance, was a delightful person to travel with. He was knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor and was up for all of our side-escapades and unforeseen needs. Including a side trip to a hospital to get one of our friends and new pair of glasses, a beer run and a trip through the vibrant Kigali market for last minute souvenirs. I thought the tour was well planned and organized. I felt well prepared to make the trip. Chance was a great driver and a safe one. our accommodations were unique and comfortable and the food was great. Highly recommend.

Awesome Kampala to Kigali Adventure I recently relied on Robert and Ovacado to orchestrate a 12 day adventure across Uganda and Rwanda. This trip involved six national parks, three primate treks (mountain gorillas, chimps and golden monkeys), two lakes, and one rain forest canopy walk. This is something like my 10th trip to Africa, and it was one of the best. Robert was very responsive and knowledgeable throughout the whole planning process, abd flexible as we had multiple iterations of the itinerary to suit my preferences. Chance, the driver/guide, was excellent and jovial and I’m convinced knows just about everyone in both countries. Robert and Chance completely delivered on what was promised. This is a very beautiful part of the world. I intend to come back, and look forward to again working with Robert and Chance to make the possible.

Terrific 14 Days of Adventure Rwanda and Uganda Trip I’ve just completed a terrific 14 day tour with Robert (Owner) and Chance (Guide/Driver). Starting in Kigali, Rwanda we ventured to Nyungwe Forest National Park where l tracked chimpanzees and then onto the Volcanoes National Park for the Golden Monkey’s and the Cultural Village. Crossing into Uganda it was the incredible Gorilla’s of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. In Queen Elizabeth National Park we saw a huge Elephant show us who was boss with two young lions and numerous tourist vans moving out of his way. Later in the tour we saw the fabulous Murchison Falls National Park with the powerful falls and an abundance of animals, from Elephants, Giraffes, a surprised big Lion, Hyenas, Baboons and lots of Cape Buffalo and Hartebeest. On our final day we visited the inspiring Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary where we got close to the Rhino’s that in the coming years will repopulate Ugandas National Parks. Throughout the tour we stayed in wonderful inns and hotels, all with the friendly African service and smiles from their staff. The food was terrific too. Overall l strongly recommend Ovacado Adventures, Robert is a great travel professional and was a pleasure to work with in planning to the trip itself with his great guide Chance in driving us. It was a trip that exceeded my high expectations.

Definitely amazing and unique experience It was another tour for organized by Ovacado Adventures Ltd for my teavel agency. This time I arrived with 5 people group. Our itinerary of visiting Rwanda and Uganda was realized completely. These two countries are not easy to travel, especially if we have a group of people. But as usually everything was perfectly planned. We had Chance as a driver snd guide and he is professional doing his job. I recomend to visit these two countries with Ovacado Adventures Ltd. Thank you Robert for your involvement. See you soon

Very bad experience Our trip was horrible. In the morning we went to safari to the north part of QENP. We did not see anything. Just a few antelops, buffalows, and 1 lion from very far away. First of all the owner Robert didn't sell me what I wanted. I wanted to go to Kazinga Channel and Ishasha tree climbing lions. I thought I was paying for this. Then on the phone he told me that we'll do the safari on the north part of QENP not Ishasha. Even do I didn't accept iti he followed his decision. The car is broken on the way at 11:00 a.m. and the other car came to pick up us at 18.30. We've waited for 7.30 hours on the way. It was such a nightmare. The owner even didn't call us to say sorry. I definetly do not recommend this company.

From cooking classes to bird watching, there was something for everyone. The guides were super knowledgeable and they made us feel right at home. The activity was fun and we learned a lot about the history and wildlife of the area. We also got a chance to explore the local market and get a taste of the local cuisine. Highly recommended

Unforgetable journey 10 days in Uganda with Ovacado Adventures was the best journey of my life. Safaris, trekkings, great views, local communities meetings and a lot more! Thanks to Robert, everything was on time, lodges were in high standard and food was delicious. Great drivers - Martin and Chance, who apart from driving also shared with us knowledge about country and nature. Uganda, the Pearl of Africa is beautiful country and I wish everyone to visit it, with Ovacado Adventures of course.
