"Thank you to Laura, Marco, and everyone at Kagumu for a brilliant 10-night Colombia trip. We were so well looked after and packed in loads of walking and adventure. The local guides were excellent and full of knowledge. Kagumu Adventures took care of everything and I love their sustainable/responsible travel ethos. I highly recommend them, a truly memorable trip."

"Kagumu Adventures walks the walk when it comes to responsible and sustainable travel. Every detail of the trip was handled, leaving us nothing to worry about, including plenty of vegan options at every meal (thank you!). We packed so much adventure into our time together, had incredible local guides from whom we learned about the country’s history and culture, and visited some truly beautiful destinations. I can’t wait to schedule my next trip!"
