uganda vaction
My Husband and I, just came back from Uganda after 15days tour for safari and gorillas.
We cant hold it off to give credit to Gorilla bookings company for organizing a wonderful vacation for us.
Uganda has been on our bucket list for long over 4 years. Uganda is very safe and hospitality at the peak.

Nice people and Good Country
My plan was on short notice,
But these guys managed to organize for us a quick and brief itinerary for 4days to gorillas and lake Bunyonyi.
People here are nice and country is green.

Perfect trip, wonderful company, incredible country
If you're planning a trip to Uganda Gorilla Bookings is the way to go. They can take you on a one or two night chimp or gorilla trek, or plan a whole 10 day visit like they did for me. I knew little about Uganda and was going by myself. Justus is incredibly efficient and was patient as my plans kept changing. He responds to emails very promptly which gave me a sense of security before the trip that I was in good hands. I told him as long as I saw some gorillas and chimps, I didn't care what I did. He planned an incredible itinerary which include games drives (lions in trees!), boats rides where I saw hippos and more exotic birds than I can count, and provided options for community visits, etc. It was perfect. I stayed in wonderful small lodges with gorgeous views, incredible people and world class food. Allan, my guide, was wonderful. He was incredibly knowledgeable, positive and kind. He provided real insight into the communities and culture of Uganda and had a whole network of people to call on when something came up. (Park Ranger Jane to find the lions in trees; a quick results COVID test clinic that I wanted to visit 2 days before I arrived back to Entebbe for my return flight so that I wouldn't stress about time on the last day.) I don't like to repeat countries because there are so many more places I want to visit, but on the drive back to Entebbe I was already creating an itinerary for my return visit to Uganda. There is so much to do and see, a 10 day visit is not nearly enough. It's the most beautiful country I've seen. And some of the lodges were so great and the people there so nice that I want to return to spend more time in each. Next time I might fly into or out of Kigali, which I hear is also wonderful (and would enable me to see another country). Gorilla Bookings can arrange that too.

Best experience!!
We booked a 15 day guided tour with our guide Moses through Gorilla Bookings in July 2021 and were absolutely thrilled! We booked directly with Gorilla Bookings. The agency is completely trustworthy and the organization of the tour, safaris, boat trips and trekkings was excellent. All accommodations were beautiful and Moses brought us closer to culture, country and people and also spent a lot of time with us after work.
We made friends in no time and felt very comfortable. The national parks and the great nature and wildlife are absolutely worth seeing. An unscheduled visit to an orphanage (at our own request) made our trip perfect and opened our hearts and eyes.
We would love to come back!

EPIC!!!
Much better than what I expected!! I really have no words to describe the service, the experience, the level of professionalism of this tour agency
That took care about me, they gave my the best experience ever, I couldn’t have chosen better. The food, the hotel, the tour, the guide, the driver, everything was amazing!
The gorillas were so close! It was truly magical

Trusted Advisor!
There is nothing better when you are abroad than a trusted advisor!
In this regards, Gorilla Booking nailed it!
We have been doing self-drive safari with Gorilla Bookings in Dec'21 for a week in Uganda and this was one of the best decisions we could do.
Despite the fact that Gorilla Bookings "only" arranged the car and the gorilla and chimps permits for us, they have always been very supportive and keen to help us, giving us recommendations and friendly answers to any doubt we had. Travelling in Covid times, there is always a lot of uncertainty, and they kept us always informed in a proactive manner, already since the beginning.
A part from that, on the “how”, they are super friendly, enthusiastic and one can feel they will give it all for you to have the best experience in Uganda.
We are already recommending our friends and family to go to Uganda with same agency. If I come back no doubt I will repeat!
You Rock!

Professionalism
Our experience with Gorilla Booking started at Entebe airport when we arrived. Justus and Charles /our guy/ meet us there and never left until our departure.
We spent a lot of time together and can truly say Charles is the PERSON that you need to have wonderful time in Uganda. He is knowledgeable, friendly and super accomodating. He tried to resolve every problem and satisfy every desire. Hiking in the mountains, meeting with the local peoples or Pygmy , Safari, Murchison Falls, boating on Nile... Everyone from our group had a memorable expirience thanks to the passion, dedication and care of Charles.
Thank you Gorilla Booking!

Amazing, custom, never-to-be- forgotten Safari experience!
My husband and I had a wonderful experience, and excellent tour with Justus and Gorilla Bookings. First off, he and his team were patient, and listened to what I wanted out of a tour- what I wanted to see, rather than go for the usually stuff (like waterfalls, which do nothing for us.) Then COVID interrupted our plans,, and we had to cancel. Through it all, all two tears of it, Justus was responsive, kind, patient and fair. Even though we were 8 hours apart, I usually got responses right away, if not, in 12 hours. They know the good spots to see, good hotels, etc. Our guide, also called Justus was prompt, knowledgeable, always early for a meet, and shepherded us through nine days of chimp and Gorilla trekking, river cruises, animal watching, national parks and beautiful lodges...and the crazy Ugandan traffic habits. You do not want to do this without a guide, and I fully recommend Gorilla Bookings. Good value for money too. They far exceeded my picky NYC expectations.

Beyond the gorillas
We have just arrived from a trip to Uganda organized by Gorilla Bookings. We would like to strongly recommend them as everything turned out perfectly. Both the deals prior to the start of the trip, and the program carried out. We want to especially thank our driver and guide Allan. We were lucky to be assigned this great professional, apart from being a great person. If you ever book a trip with this agency, don't hesitate to ask for him directly. He knows the places like no one else and made everything run smoothly. He balanced our trip by adapting to our way of being and offering us experiences tailored to our tastes, so we discovered that there is a Uganda beyond the gorillas that is very worthwhile. Throughout my life I have traveled a lot and it is difficult to repeat a destination. But as for Uganda, I can't wait to go back. Definitely book with Gorilla Bookings company.
