Wonderful experience and amazing team
They organized everything perfectly and even when I asked to change the plans they were ready to listen to and meet my requests. I spent a week in Uganda and it was the most incredible trip of my life.
They were friendly, helpful and very professional.
Thank you Justus, Moses and Alan!

Great Booking Company and Incredible Gorillas
Justus at Gorilla Bookings was great to work with. He was very responsive (I don't think he sleeps!) and he created a perfect trip. Four of us celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversaries in Uganda to see the Mountain Gorillas. It was a trip of a lifetime and we will never forget this amazing experience. Our local guide Ben was great and the lodges were beautiful. The jungle trekking was harder than we thought, but worth every ache and pain. You must visit the Mountain Gorillas and use Gorilla Bookings to arrange the trip-they are the BEST!

friendly, good service, knows to find the animals
Justus helped us very nicely planning the itinerary and took care of all bookings.
Ben was our guide. Important to state that he drove very safely (not like many other guides on the roads) and tried to accommodate us at every occasion. Very patient, well connected with all other guides to track down rare animals. We even saw a leopard which is very rare!

Enjoyed my trip with Gorilla Bookings
In a nutshell: In my experience, Gorilla Bookings is trustworthy and provides good values for money. I enjoyed my trip a lot!
Extended version: Went on a solo trip for 5 days to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (gorilla tracking) and Lake Bunyonyi in September 2022. Sylvia and Justus of Gorilla Bookings always responded quickly and tailored the journey to my needs. Everything turned out as they said it would.
I have come to know Eli as a careful driver and great travel companion. He made me feel safe and comfortable. He also provided an internet hotspot whenever necessary.
I stayed two nights at Ruhija Gorilla Friends Resort and two nights at Bunyonyi View Resort. Both accomodations were rather basic and had wifi issues. If you are looking for a more luxury accomodation, it is probably a good idea to let Gorilla Bookings know in advance.
The gorillas roam freely, so the length of the gorilla hike can vary significantly. We walked for about an hour, then saw them up close - amazing!! The terrain can be steep, and I did not regret hiring a porter for the backpack.
At Bwindi, I took the opportunity to go on a community hike with a guide called Happy and a nature hike with a guide named Alan. Those additional activities were not included in Gorilla Booking‘s offer. I would recommend them, though. Each walk took about three hours.
Included in my trip was a two hour boat tour on Lake Bunyonyi. I wanted to extend that tour significantly, and Gorilla Bookings made it possible at an extra charge. The guide named Justus knew his way around the lake very well and provided tons of interesting information. He tailored the tour to my preferences, including visiting two islands, hiking to a viewpoint and some extended birdwatching.
Thanks a lot for the amazing trip! : )

An unforgettable trip
There are not enough words to describe my trip to Uganda but I can sum it up in UNFORGETTABLE, INCREDIBLE and PERFECT.
I chose the Gorilla Bookings travel agency because of the good references I found on Tripadvisor and all the excellent opinions are deserved.
I recommend this agency 100% because everything we requested was fulfilled. They adapt your trip to your tastes and make you live an unforgettable experience. Seeing gorillas and chimpanzees is SPECTACULAR but Uganda has a thousand beautiful things to visit.
I traveled with a friend for 3 weeks and we have fallen in love with Uganda and it has all been thanks to Gorilla Booking and Allan, the guide who accompanied us on this adventure. He is a FANTASTIC guide who shows you his country with a love that makes you end up loving him too. If you travel to Uganda do not hesitate to contact this agency and request that Allan be your guide because he is a great professional and a great guy !!!! THANK YOU :)

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.

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!

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!

Family Holiday in Uganda
Hi there, I had my vacation in Uganda last December with Xmas, it was mega and massive beyond expectations.
When i searched about reliable and honest companies, Gorilla Bookings was ranked number one in Uganda.
And besides, they have quick response to email regardless if different time zone with Justus ahead of everything. My family had best and outstanding vacation.
Our driver Charles was always on point, full of fun.
The choice of accommodation was best of the best, swimming pool at Pakuba safari Lodge made my kids wish to stay longer.
We will come agian and probably stay 3nights at every hotel. Just drop them an email and you will have your questions answered.

Excellent experience
We had a wonderful trip with Gorilla Bookings. Desire helped us with organising our trip, was always very helpful and reachable. Moses was our guide, we had a very nice time together. Moses has a large knowledge about the country, animals...
