Paradise Adventure Vacations are amazing I can’t thank them enough for how well they looked after me. I took the 18 days Uganda Gorilla, Trekking and Wildlife Safari, which was so very reasonably priced. Mussa and Stanely were my guides, and were fantastic hosts, so warm and friendly . They both put me at ease from the minute I met them and I felt totally safe with them, which was essential as I was a solo traveler. They explained our road trip in great detail before we set out and tailored it to my needs. This resulted in the greatest adventure of my life, exploring some amazing parts of fabulous Uganda. The country has such biodiversity which is overwhelmingly beautiful. I would never have imagined I would see so many birds, animals, plant life and stunning scenery. The Uganda people are also wonderful, they always seem to be happy, even though they have very little in the way of money or possessions. Everywhere we stopped people were so kind,
