Mussa and Yonah are the best! - This has been the best vacation we’ve ever had. We spent 6 days with Paradise Adventure Vacations, and every part of our time met or exceeded our expectations.
The biggest reason people come to Uganda is to see the great apes, and it was really important for us to see chimpanzees as well as gorillas. Very few groups specialized in this, and Paradise did a great job making sure we were able to see both. We have two children that are technically too young to trek gorilla, but Paradise helped us make sure our kids could have this experience. Their pricing was exceptionally reasonable, especially since it covered all the park fees and permits.
The best part of this trip was our guides Mussa and Yonah. We worked with 6 guides during our stay in Africa, and these two were the most fun and had the biggest personality. They also worked the hardest of anyone to make us feel valued and welcome at every step of our journey. It was wonderful to get to know them. Mussa and Yonah were constantly going above and beyond to make the trip amazing, and even changed some of our accommodations on the fly once they got to know us, and put us places that met our interests better than the official itinerary. It was clear they knew their stuff, and they were great ambassadors for Uganda.
We asked for mid-range lodging, and the places we stayed at were all great. We’re so glad we had an opportunity to travel with Paradise Adventure Vacations, and we recommend them highly! Thank you so much!

Memorable experience - For my 3 days in Bwindi, I appreciate the tour guide Augustine who was recommended by the director Mr. Musa. The tour was good and I had a great time with gorillas from Rushaga sector. Thank you Musa for the great and first class tour services in your company. I promise to travel again with Paradise adventure vacations.

6 days Uganda trip - Had an amazing 6 days Uganda trip where tracked Gorillas in Bwindi NP, Chimps in Kibale and safari in Queen Elizabeth NP. The trip was planned meticulously thanks to Mussa. He and our guide Beka made sure my wife and I had a lovely time. The service right from picking us up at the airport to the drop off was impeccable. They are highly knowledgable about the natural flora and fauna and the culture of the local communities we visited. Thank you for the amazing memories and conversations during the trip. We can't wait to be back.

Best Experience ever tì - It was my first ever African safari with Paradise Adventure Vacations in Uganda December 2018, it was the trip of a lifetime.I began my vacation with a visit to Murchison falls national park, to kibale national park and then Queen Elizabeth NP , i was amazed by a variety of attractions in these places. It was better than i imagined and couldn't want to have my trip ended. Our driver guide Stanley was well informed and time conscious. All accommodations during my trip were good though preferred Paraa safari lodge the most. I would highly recommend Paradise Adventure Vacations for your best safaris experience in East Africa.

Exciting, exhausting and lifelong memorable - Fabulous experience, amazing animals... we had such great luck not having to trek far for either the chimpanzees or the gorillas.
I probably didn't do enough research to know how long the drives would be. Our itinerary suggested we would be able to do a community walk and swamp walk... after close to 10 hours driving from kampala we did the swamp walk (which was fun) and then reached our lovely camp when it was too dark to see our tea terrace view (but a hot shower we were grateful for)... and outstanding french influenced food... which was amazing.
The drive from kibale to Queen elizabeth took us three hours and the drive from Queen eliz Park to bwindi was at least 6 hours drive.
The drive are long and sometimes rough and loads of red dirt will enter your nostrils and ears!
Ideally you can close the windows and put on air conditioning reduce the discomfort.. if you had asthma it would be essential.
So plan your trip knowing the actual drive times.. if you can afford the extra days it would be worth it. Also kibale and Queen elizabeth do night time safari with rangers... they would have been extra money but worthwhile. Rangers track and have loads of knowledge.
Eric our driver was always attentive and willing to meet any odd request of ours... but he is of course pressed by the schedule too.
Interestingly we saw quite few animals outside of the parks... which was fun.
