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!

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.

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.

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.

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...

Great host with unbelievable knowledge and dedication - very much customer focussed!
We only had one weekend in Kampala and wanted to explore the wildlife and other interetsing things near Kampala so I asked at our hotel reception. I got a reco to write an email to gorillabookings and from that moment everything went perfect. In 30 minutes time we have negotiated a full two days safari to Lake Nburo and Jinja at a very affordable rate. We had a great, gentle, friendly and very knowledgeable guide (Allan) who made this weekend a great experience to us. We have not only seen hippos, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles and a lot more at lake Mburo but also learned a lot of interesting things about Uganda, it's wildlife, traditions etc. from our guide Allan. Same applies to the tour to Jinaj, source of River Nile. Great experience. We definitely could recommend touring with gorillabookings - and if you are lucky, you will get Allan as your guide :-)
