The gorillas’ feet resemble that of a human being
When scientists said that our closest relatives are gorillas, I wondered why. Actually, it never made sense for me since from the few videos that I had watched about these animals, they had too much fur compared to any human being. Although I’m not a scientist, I now believe what they said because I observed it. Gorillas are so playful, every time they try to show their gymnastics. As one was playing, it flipped itself over and I managed to take a photo of its feet. I was just taking random photos; I never had it in thought that I should take a photo of its feet. When I went to my hotel and a little relax at the couch, I got out my camera to see some of the images that I had taken. Wow, there I was with a photo of a gorilla’ feet. This was a treasure to me because Immediately, I counted the toes and they were five. I said to myself, did I take a photo someone’s feet or it for the gorillas, I realized it was for the gorillas. They really resemble us some way. This was a science exhibition for me-so much entertaining and educative.
A piece of advice though, you must be in good health to do a gorilla trekking safari because you shall be required to climb mountains which some meters above sea level. Thank you gorilla tour booking safaris for a wonderful tour to Uganda

Memorable, Refreshing Wildlife Safari.
We had a memorable, refreshing vacation with Gorilla tour booking safari team. We (me with my wife and a cousin sister) chose 7-day gorilla trekking safari. Pre-travel communication and arrangements by their travel consultant was excellent. He is a real professional. He accommodated all our requests and provided necessary information and suggestions, we benefited from his insights. Airport pick-ups & drop, and hotel transfer were on time. Our driver/ guide, Peter was the best guide one can ever get on a safari trip; he is very knowledgeable & ensured we saw the gorillas as we wished, he advised us on which group was best for us to trek. My wife enjoyed the nature of Uganda. The country is blessed with green and hilly mountains.
All of us had different expectations. My wife likes nature and I remember her looking through the car window as we were heading to the park.Personally, I was more interested in watching these gorillas especially the silverback after having read so much about it. This was my moment when we were at the park. We went up to the mountains trekking the gorillas, and finally I saw this leader. I was so much filled with joy that I almost forgot all about the briefing that they had given us before. Sure, when I saw this animal, I felt like I had met a great friend whom I had to share with. It was a great experience for all of us.
We had enough time to visit several crafts markets where we bought several for almost every family member. I have pondered about bring a family of 12 next time. I know it shall be costly but the service is worth the value for the money.
I send my sincere thanks to all of you employees at gorilla tour booking safari limited. Thank you for making our trip so easy, enjoyable, and comfortable.

Queen Elizabeth national park is a queen of its own
I booked a wildlife safari to Queen Elizabeth National Park with Gorilla Tour Booking Safaris. I definitely chose to go see this park having seen the activities that I could do. Our journey was full of enjoyment. I arrived Entebbe Airport and after I met the guide Richard, he transported me to the hotel for a sleepover. The guide seemed so easy and someone you could easily get along with. Early in the morning after my breakfast, the guide picked me up and I started my journey to Queen Elizabeth national park. I stopped at the equator, bought some crafts, and took some refreshments l. We continued journey to the park and this was like a game drive. I saw several animals along the way, the buffalos and the elephants. Feeling a little tired, I took my dinner and spent a night at Mweya safari Lodge.
The lodge had spectacular views especially that of the Kazinga channel. I saw several tourists taking photos of this great view especially in the night, I took several of them. Since the lodge is located within Queen Elizabeth national park, I was excited to start my game drive and I ensured that my camera had fully charged. The next day was a game and boat drive, I enjoyed both of them. My 3-day trip ended so quick that I felt like doing it again the next day.

Gorilla trekking is somewhat hard work but worth the effort.
Bwindi impenetrable forest is really a very beautiful forest. I know it’s not called impenetrable for nothing, the forest is huge and so thick but it has nice sceneries. When I realized that I was going to do a gorilla trekking safaris through the same forest, I was a little scared but excited at the same time because I didn’t know what to expect.
Trekking the gorillas is somewhat hard work but you are most certain that you shall find them. A bit of advice is you need a porter unless you are definitely in shape because you shall be required to toil steeps as you looking for these mountain gorillas. We were given one hour of watching but I enjoyed every second of this hour. Many times, I sat their taking photos and wondering at these great creatures. The weather was fine although the jungle was damp most of the time. It was a great journey worthy all my hard-worked dollars.

Green Vegetation
I love the green plantation. I enjoyed my travel in Uganda. The country is so green and I was told that it’s called the pearl of Africa. My favorite part of the journey is when I met the gorillas these animals are so amazing, I saw the mother gorilla taking care of its little one and It reminded me of those days when my sister was young. Wow, a great journey!

Formidable and mind-blowing gorilla adventure
I came across gorilla tour booking safaris travel packages on the internet, and I just liked them because the prices were affordable on our side. On our arrival we were picked by a nice guy, Henry, who gave us a brief history of the Pearl of Africa Uganda. He knew the routes so well because we reached at the exactly agreed upon time. We went to Bwindi Impenetrable forest where we had the memories of my life: Seeing gorillas play was so formidable and mind-blowing for us-we never imagined that they enjoy themselves.
Our communication with gorilla tour booking safaris was really awesome. We made a wire money transfer for gorilla permits and accommodation booking; they bought them and sent us scanned copies: we really had a very constructive communication on all matters from food to accommodation, and the tour. They demonstrated such a high level of professionalism, and we enjoyed it.

Best place on Earth!
We had the opportunity to visit the caves in western Uganda! I was taken away by the beauty and historical significance placed on that region. That is something that I admire so much. I learn so much about the culture and history of western Uganda and thanks to the amazing tour guides who were very professional and at the same time very humorous! We had a blast. I recommend Gorilla Tours to you
