Very friendly and professional
We had a fantastic 10 days here in Uganda with big apes. Our first part of our journey was with a guide named Tim and he was very welcoming and friendly with a great passion and knowledge for the animals putting in a great effort to show us as much as possible.
The other half we had a guide named Gerald who has was very knowledgeable with animals as well as good at teaching us the history and culture and the different local languages so we could say some friendly greetings to some of the locals as well as adjusting the schedule when one activity took longer than expected to keep things flowing and fun.
I would highly recommend big apes as it is very organized and professional you would be very lucky to have guides like Tim and Gerald i would highly recommend both for your next safari!

Unreal Gorilla and Nature Experience
We spent the tour in Uganda and Rwanda, so worth experiencing the two different countries. Obviously the highlight was the gorilla trekking, it was incredible, we were so close to them. The landscape is really spectacular too. Our guide, Andrew, made our experience really authentic, he shared a lot of knowledge about the history and cultures of both countries which was really fascinating, we learnt a lot.

Trustworthy and Excellent Accommodations
My wife and I recently completed a 4 day / 3 night safari tour of the golden monkeys at Volcanoes National Park, the gorillas at Bwindi National Park and Lake Bunyonyi in Uganda . Our guide, Ambrose, was reliable and excellent , helping us make sense of the culture and activities we participated in. We also took on some activities that we had time for that wasn’t pre-arranged that was time and money well spent including the cultural activities outside of volcanoes park (highly recommend). Book with confidence and be sure to tip the rangers , animal trackers, hotel staff and of course your guide .
Professional, knowledgeable and courteous
Big Apes Africa is a top choice for safari bookings in Uganda. The manager Peter warmly welcomed me to the country as soon as my flight landed in Uganda. Then my guide Gerald took me on a safari journey that's once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend Big Apes Africa to anyone seeking a memorable safari tour in Uganda!

🦍 Gorilla Sights Safaris 🇺🇬
今天我們參與了一場超刺激的金剛大猩猩追蹤之旅！誰能想到，在烏干達的叢林中，居然住著超過1000隻金剛大猩猩🦍，而它們在世界上只分布於三個國家：烏干達🇺🇬、剛果🇨🇬、盧安達🇷🇼。但由於剛果近年內戰頻繁，探險旅程更顯珍貴！
走進山林深處，這不僅是一場觀光，更是一次充滿愛心的自然之旅💗。我們有幸拜訪了一個由17隻成員組成的猩猩家族，裡面有好多活潑可愛的小寶寶！他們的互動超級有趣，真是讓人看得又感動又歡樂。
最令人激動的是，我們居然可以近距離觀察他們的生活，距離甚至不到1米！那雙深邃的眼神，毛茸茸的身影，每一秒都充滿了震撼和溫暖！❤️
這次探險不僅幫室友圓了多年的夢，也讓我自己深刻感受到這些大自然守護者的魅力。如果你也有機會，千萬別錯過這令人驚艷的體驗！🌿🦍
🦍 Gorilla Sights Safaris 🇺🇬
Today, we embarked on an exhilarating gorilla trekking adventure! Who would have thought that over 1,000 mountain gorillas 🦍 call the jungles of Uganda home? These incredible creatures are found in only three countries worldwide: Uganda 🇺🇬, Congo 🇨🇬, and Rwanda 🇷🇼. With Congo’s recent history of conflict, this experience feels even more precious and unique.
Venturing deep into the forest, this wasn’t just a sightseeing tour—it was a heartfelt journey into nature 💗. We had the privilege of visiting a gorilla family of 17 members, including several playful and adorable little ones. Their interactions were so fascinating, leaving us both deeply moved and joyfully entertained.
The most thrilling part? We were able to observe their lives up close—sometimes from less than a meter away! Those soulful eyes, their furry forms—every moment was filled with awe and warmth. ❤️
This adventure not only fulfilled my roommate’s long-time dream but also left me profoundly captivated by the charm of these guardians of the wild. I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Andrew for all his help and support over the past few days. His efforts made this journey even more special and unforgettable. If you ever get the chance, don’t miss out on this breathtaking experience! 🌿🦍
