Eco Adventure Safaris Limited Reviews 102

Experience with ecotours was wonderful. We did Rwanda, DRC and Burundi feeling always safe and accompanied.

Our guide, Patrick, was an experienced expert that always knew what do in every situation.

Thank you Eco tours for a lifetime experience.

I just finished a 5-day gorilla and chimpanzee trekking tour with Eco Adventure Safaris, and loved every minute of it! My guide, Alex, was very professional and knowledgeable, and Patrick, who I booked the tour with, was very helpful and timely in his responses to my questions. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a trip to Uganda!

We booked a short gorilla trek with Eco Adventures in Uganda (with pick up in Rwanda). Patrick was very responsive and and communicated very clearly which made the whole experience relaxed and easy. Our guide, Godfrey, was very attentive, knowledgeable and really prioritized the highest quality service. The vehicle was great, the hotel they arranged was great and we had a great time

Eco Adventure Safaris made a great job! They were flexible with all our wishes and ideas. Excellent communication and very quick respond. Our holidays were perfect. Everything planed very well. Our guide was a great, kind and friendly man. Uganda and Rwanda are beautiful countries with breathtaking nature. We have unforgettable memories and amazing experience with gorillas. I hope, one day, we can come back.

Professional and great communication. I did a 2 day tour in Burundi.

They were already flexible in dropping me off in a different place

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!!

I am a frequent traveler, but 1st time traveling to East Africa. I booked eight-day trips covering Kenya - Nairobi & Masai Mara, Burundi, DR Congo - Gorilla Trekking, Rwanda, and Uganda—a solo trip covering five countries in 8 days. Patrick, who organized my trip at Eco Adventure, was very good at answering my questions and accommodating my requests whenever I requested. Tour guides Mr. Moses at Nairobi, and Mr. Alfred at Masai Mara were also excellent. They made me feel comfortable and safe. The best part of my trip was Mr. Patrick( Tour guide), with whom I was for four days from Bujumbura, Burundi, Bukavu - DR Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda all on the road. He was an excellent driver and experienced tour guide. He made me feel safe, especially while traveling in Burundi and Congo. Overall, it was a flawless trip, and I would recommend the Eco safari adventure to my friends and family. Thank you for making it a memorable trip.

The gorilla trekking with Eco Adventure safari was awesome, specially with our wonderful driver Abdul! We got to see a family of gorillas just close to us, and amazing experience.

It was all very well organized, we depart Kigali one day before, slept at the beautiful Rushaga Gorillas Heaven Lodge, and the day after went for the trekking!

Thank you so much Patrick and Abdul

I had an incredible experience with Eco Adventure Safari! The service was absolutely fantastic, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide than Abdul. He was not only knowledgeable but also a great host throughout the entire adventure. I highly recommend Eco Adventure Safari, and I can't wait to go on another tour with them. Thanks for an amazing experience!

The whole trip was perfectly organized by EcoAdventures, starting and ending at Entebbe airport. Also, a big thank you to Patrick, who always answered very quickly and helped in problematic situations!

About the trip itself, I can say that visiting the chimpanzees and gorillas is a great experience that I can recommend to everyone. If you have to choose, I recommend the gorillas ;-)

We also climbed Margherita Peak on Mt. Stanley. The rainy season started a bit earlier than expected this year, so it rained every day, which sometimes eats away at motivation. I recommend doing this climb in 10 days so you have enough time to acclimate and climb a few more peaks.

Below are some points to know:
- once you have the visa, you must enter Uganda within 3 months, otherwise the visa will be cancelled
- more information about the tips for climbing Rwenzori (porters, guides) and especially how many porters will help you

All the best for you

Great communication from Patrick when we were planning our trip to Rwanda , Congo and Uganda.
Our guides and drivers Patrick and Ronnie were knowledgeable, friendly and fantastic drivers in all kinds of conditions.
Most of our tour was spent with Patrick who seemed to be a friend to everyone he came across and he was able to pull a few strings for us, going out of his way to make everything perfect.
Patrick accompanied us to the Congo for Gorilla trekking. I was apprehensive about going through border control but Patrick was confident and in control. The 24 hours in the Congo was quite an experience, it is one of the poorest countries in the world and that is very obvious. The encounter with the gorillas was breathtaking and made all the more special by the fact we were the only two on the trek that day. It is less expensive to see the gorillas in the Congo than in other places but the experience was priceless.
The sights and sounds of Africa will be etched on my memory forever and I cannot rate this company highly enough,
If you want a tailor made adventure of a lifetime then look no further than Eco Adventure safaris.

Just returned from an 11 day trip starting in Kigali and visiting multiple national parks in Rwanda, DRC & Uganda to end in Entebbe. Patrick at Eco Adventure Safaris was exceptionally helpful in tailoring a specific itinerary for us and the second Patrick our driver was not only knowledgeable and friendly but also seems to know almost everyone across the region and helped make us feel safe and well looked after. We had like many before been a bit wary of travel into DRC but Patrick ensured everything went smoothly (including 'tipping' one of the border police!) There is no doubt the DRC is very obviously poorer than Rwanda or Uganda, traffic is even more chaotic, tourist infrastructure less developed and it feels a bit more 'edgy' but in the 24hrs we were there I never felt unsafe. Given we went to see gorillas at Kahuzi Biega and ended up having a private tour for just the 2 of us with a group of 5 rangers/ trackers and 4 gorillas this was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone considering visiting.
We switched drivers for a few days while Patrick revisited DRC with another client, and Ronnie was equally as good, friendly and knowledgeable.
As well as the gorillas we also had close encounters with a large group of chimps at Kibale and many lions, leopards, hippos, crocs, elephants, giraffes and monkeys plus a hyena and numerous antelopes and birds within Nyungwe, QE and Murchison Falls.
Overall a truly incredible trip all made possible and even more special thanks to the staff of Eco Adventure Safaris who I honestly cannot fault or recommend more highly.

Personalized service! Great response time and an amazing time out to see Gorillas and Queen Elizabeth Park

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.

Fantastic and highly recommended tour company. Patrick and Abdul my driver were organized, friendly and made my trip very memorable. I did a city tour of Rwanda, Golden Monkey & gorilla trekking.

Eco Advanture were great from the very beginning. We recieved answers for everythinf we needed. Our driver Abdul was there for us for any little thing and the lodge we have stayed in gave us the maximum service. We wormly recommand ayone who is interested in gorilla rtrekking to book with this company without hesitation. Thank you again for the wonderful service.

Organized, patient, accommodating, flexible, knowledgeable, trust worthy.

It was very hard to choose who to go with but I read the reviews on Eco Adventures and they had a great price. Patrick was so great at communication and I never had to wait long for him to answer me. The whole process was fast and friendly and very professional. Our guide Godfey met us at the airport and we couldn't ask for a friendlier person! We ended up asking him thousands of questions about his culture and he answered all of them. It was so educational. He was also really good at letting us know what to expect for the tour. The gorilla trek was amazing and the guides and porters were so helpful. We stayed at the Rushaga Mountain Gorilla Lodge in Uganda but we didn't spend much time there. We really liked the rooms and the food was good (but again we just spent the night and left really early). Rwanda accommodations they chose for us were fantastic (DaVinci Lodge). Fireplaces in the common area, outside, in the rooms, and hot water bottles in the bed! Excellent food and the room was fantastic. Would totally stay there again. I gave Patrick a list of all the things I was hoping to accomplish in a very short time and Godfrey was really great about helping us fit everything in. I would totally recommend this company!

Amazing sunsets, beautiful views and amazingly close to the animals. We learned a lot from pur guide. Didn't see all the animals but so many and from really close. Can recommend :)

I had a great time in Uganda and seeing the gorillas. I recommend the guide Agaba (young, fluent in english, smart and helpful)
