A Trip in Kampala City on a Motorcycle (Boda boda)
I enjoyed the wildlife adventure with the help of Gorilla Tour Booking Safaris, and it really awesome. When I tried to compare my country with Uganda. The most obvious thing that came to my mind is that we have a different transport system. Here we mostly use trains, buses, and cabs. There, it is mostly motorcycles. The motorcycles are there cabs. I wanted to get the experience of a being a passenger so I went and boarded one with the help of my guide Richard. They drove me around Kampala town and I liked it.

Bwindi Impenetrable National park It’s a Great Park
Our journey from Bwindi Impenetrable National park to Queen Elizabeth National park was enjoyable. I did some bird watching although it was not included in the activities. What I mean is as were traveling to Bwindi, I saw different species of birds and all I did was to gaze at them. At Bwindi Impenetrable National park, I enjoyed the trekking. I came already prepared for it. As we were trekking we received news that the group which were tracking was somewhere so it didn’t take us long before we had an actual view of these great animals. This was really enjoyable. What more could I ask for. The journey was seamless. Thank you Gorilla Tour Booking Safaris for a wonderful adventure

Gorillas are stress-releasing animals.
I had stress from a past relationship so I decided to take a trip to Uganda just to go do some gorilla trekking. When I saw these animals and how they enjoy themselves. I just started smiling and laughing all the way. This was the most stress rehabilitation that I have ever experienced. I came back to London stress free Thank you Gorilla Tour Booking Safaris. Indeed, I enjoyed the journey.

The great wilderness
I want to take a tour to see the world but I had no idea where I wanted to go until a friend advised me to try Uganda for a gorilla trekking. He had done it before, and he had told me how amazing it was. I decided to give it a try because I trust my friend’s recommendation. I made some research on the internet and I decided to take a 3 day gorilla trekking with gorilla tour booking safari. Hear my experience.
I tell you guys there is no adventure like visiting Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Like the name a sound, some parts of the forest is really dark that you can think it never dawns: it’s a night world over there. Every time I was walking under the guidance of my guide, I felt like he was the flicker of light that I had to follow to get through. Though it seemed a little scary , it was a very adventurous trip for me.
My guide Peter was a humble man who was very knowledgeable about wildlife and Uganda. Everything I requested, he was willing to go beyond his means to fulfill it. At some point, I felt he was too kind to me. In human nature, I decided to tip him up some good amount because he definitely deserved it.
Thank you peter and all the gorilla tour booking safari crew, you made it for me.
I would definitely recommend any one to travel with these guys. They are so professional.
Thanks guys.
4 Days Trip to Uganda
I thank gorilla tour booking safari for their tender care they gave us during our 4-day trip to Uganda.
We sent dozens of emails to Ronnie and sometimes we felt it was a little too much but he replied with care, love, and with great professionalism. This is was the first glimpse of an accommodating company. Upon arrival we discussed so much about our itinerary with our guide, peter, who was polite, and knowledgeable about the parks. We had to ask all questions so as to keep our expectations so high.
The car was good with suitable seats that could give you the kind of comfort that you desired. I had to check out that first because I knew we were going to travel long distances to the parks and these guys never disappointed.
At the park, we all had the necessary requirements to go for gorilla trekking however we hired porters to help us carry the bags because we wanted to enjoy the moment without feeling so much tired. It took us sometime though not hours for us to see the group which we had gone to trek. Actually, we enjoyed moving around the jungle just searching for these precious animals. The trek was never tiresome as we thought.
I wish we had stayed more in this country. We somehow got attached to the local people so much. Everyone looked so friendly; we never encountered anyone who gave us hard time. For us, this is was a journey worthy paying for.
Thank you gorilla tour booking safari for your great care and security; we felt secure all the time. Trust me, these guys know their industry.

Our 4-day gorilla trekking safari.
We did a 4-day gorilla trekking safari. The safari looked so packed with lots of activities that we were keen to see that they are all fulfilled. Indeed, they were all fulfilled. This is how it went: On our first day, we went to Queen Elizabeth national park were we had a game drive and saw lots of animals like the leopards, Elephants, Lions ,and hyenas. We took a two-hour evening cruise and this was so great. It gave us nice scenery for game viewing, and bird watching. I took photos of these huge crocodiles, it was so stunning.
Day 2 was basically travelling from Queen Elizabeth to Bwindi Impenetrable forest we were going to do gorilla trekking. Along the way, we saw climbing lions and this was another plus into our journey. We arrived at a very accommodating lodge were we spent a night.
The next day which I would regard as day 3 was the indeed a great day. in the morning, we were briefed by the authorities about what and what not to do. We both hired porters because we needed their service. These guys carry your load and you just concentrate on trekking. As we started penetrating this thick shrubby forest, we were listening to birds singing their morning songs. We started moving along this steep forest. We moved for some time without seeing these gorillas. We expected that as soon as you get to the forest, we shall immediately see the gorillas but we realized that these animals have their own schedules and plans. After about one hour and twenty minutes, the guide notified us of their presence. We were so much attracted to the baby gorilla because of its playing mode. I took videos and photos of this moment. Our last day was coming back to Kampala to prepare our journey back home. We stopped at Igongo cultural Centre for lunch where we were served with amazing local dishes. There was so much to take from the trip and it was definitely worth every single penny.
Thank you to the wonderful team at Gorilla Tour Booking Safaris . The guide was so accommodating and narrative.

Sweetest dish on wildlife adventure
What would you do if you go to a certain country, and they serve you some dish you have never tested before? Would you reject it or try it? I was faced with the same challenge. My friendly guide Mr. henry bought some for me, and he said it was the most delicious thing he ever tested. Guess, what is was locusts .At first I said no please thank you, but he insisted and told me about the history of the Ugandan locusts. With a little confidence, I tried them out; and immediately, they became my favorite they were so sweet. My friends are next in the line, Uganda we are coming back for your locusts with my friends. Long live Uganda, long live the locusts thank your Gorilla Tour Booking Safaris.

Great Cultural Adventure.
To me, traveling is all about experiencing something new. I opted for something like a cultural center-a place where I culture meet. I enjoyed the stay at the cultural center because I had new experiences. That wasn’t the only thing that loved about the journey. The mountain gorillas for me where breath-taking. Really, this was an amazing journey. My friends, gorilla tour booking, thank you so much for all your care. I deeply enjoyed it.

our honeymoon with lots of experience
The good thing with wedding meetings is that people propose to you a lot of suggestions about what you should do. Like others, we had lots of suggestion about where to spend our honey moon. Since this had to be one of the unforgettable moments of our lives, we had to ensure we have great memories. Our wedding planner told us that in order to make this a joyous moment, we have to go where we have never been and see what we have never seen. That is when we said we should go to Africa, and this is how we decided that we should do a 10-day gorilla safari.
We contacted the gorilla tour booking safari to prepare our trip and we had to let them know that we were planning to have a honey moon experience. We agreed on a luxurious package and that’s what we paid for. After all the preparations, we arrived at Entebbe International Airport ready to start this great trek.
The car we used was customized for a honey moon experience-red was all over the car seats and the music that was played really portrayed that we are in for a wonderful experience. At the hotel, our bed and rooms had flowers. This was great.
Our 10 gorilla trekking safari had lots of things to do but let me talk about those that impressed me the most. We were taken to Bwindi National Park which as lot of gorilla family groups which would bring memories to us and that is exactly what happened. When we saw this group in a family, it just reminded us of the journey that we had started. The silverback really knows how to cater for the group, and my husband said to me that I shall be your silverback-he never realized the impact of what he said or how he said it but this was really emotional for me.
Another remarkable experience is when we went to a certain troop, these guys made us laugh. They started dancing for us and afterwards they told us to join them. We had to learn their dance instantly; actually, we were pretty good at it. The peak of this group is when a dancer they referred to as ‘Senga’ meaning aunt started to dance while telling us what we should do and avoid doing in our marriage. She had good advice for both of us. Her words echoed so much that when I went to the hotel, I started writing out everything that she said because I remembered most of them. This was so educative for both of us. In the Baganda Culture, the aunt is responsible for informing girls about what they should and should not do in their marriages, and it’s exactly how we were treated. Never in my life shall I ever forget that experience.
Wow, it was an amazing experience. Thank you all of you guys at gorilla tour booking safari. I sincerely recommend anyone to this company.
