our honeymoon with lots of experience
5/5

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.

The great wilderness
5/5

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.

Gorillas are stress-releasing animals.
5/5

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.

A Trip in Kampala City on a Motorcycle (Boda boda)
5/5

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.

Great Cultural Adventure.
5/5

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.

Sweetest dish on wildlife adventure
5/5

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.

Green Vegetation
5/5

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!

Great Adventure
5/5

When in Uganda,I had gone to see gorillas but to my surprise, I saw something interesting:I saw this amazing bird .I had never seen such a beautiful bird like that. I asked the guide,Mr.Robert,and he told me that the bird is called the crested Crane.It is the Ugandan national bird and it’s highly respected bird in the country.It represents Uganda because of its strength and peace. It was really amazing and it made my day.

Best place on Earth!
5/5

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
