To walk among them in their natural habitat is to witness a community in constant motion. While chimp trekking you will be in company of trained rangers to guide, educate & answer any questions. By midday you will be done heading out of the park for lunch in Masindi Town. After lunch transfer back to Entebbe Airport arriving by 6pm.

An Amazing East African Experience

I have traveled to over 80Countries and used countless coordinators and Dianah and her team are absolutely the best. My wife and I recently traveled to Ethiopia, Uganda, and Rawanda for 3 weeks on a trip organized by Dianah. Everything was perfect. Our Driver/Guides, Richard and Robert are both excellent English speakers and very knowledgeable guides as well. Their vehicles are well maintained, clean and comfortable Land Cruisers. The lodges Dianah selected were first class…. With super friendly staff and excellent dining. Trekking to observe Silver Backs up close in the wild is an exhilarating experience I will never forget. I can’t wait to work with Dianah on a future African adventure!

Activentures made our dream safari a reality!

My husband and I were married in a civil ceremony in 1993 and di not have time or money for a honeymoon. For many years we have dreamed of a safari to make memories that we could reflect on as we grow older. A chance meeting with Musa led to the safari adventure of our dreams! I spoke with Musa about what our ideal safari adventure would look like and what we wanted to experience. He and Diana put together an adventure that was everything we wanted and so much more. They suggested things that we hadn't even thought of. From the moment we boarded the Kenya Airlines flight to commerce to the beautiful continent of Africa until the last moment when we arrived back in New York, everything was perfect. I am a very "hands-on" planner and this was an adventure of which I had no concept of what to expect. The experienced team at Activenures knew just how to put together the most amazing experiences and anticipated all of our needs before we had even thought about them. Their collective knowledge was so helpful in planning and executing our dream anniversary trip. They did not miss any details. Our accommodations were amazing, comfortable and well planned. Our safety was considered a number one priority. So much so, that we never even considered it because we felt so safe and comfortable that we never had to. The people who were assigned to guide us through Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda were extremely professional and their knowledge was unmatched. Musatu was our guide for the majority of our safari and we found him to be so very knowledgeable and seasoned. He was simply delightful and went above and beyond to show us his beautiful country with its amazing animals and even more amazing people. The people of Africa are so gentle and kind. We felt very welcome at every place we visited. We are so grateful to Activentures, Musa, Diana and Musatu for helping us realize our dream of getting to experience Africa in a way that was so personal and memorable. We can't say enough about the amazing experience that these folks put together for us. The 16 days we spent in Africa were so memorable without any glitches, without any problems and without any mix-ups. This is the kind of service you can only get with people who have a lot of experience with what they do. We will carry our African adventure in our hearts for the rest of our lives!
