Can’t miss experience
I was very nervous to book what I considered such an expensive trip online, but everything was great. I usually travel alone and find my own way, but for a first trip to Africa,it was the right choice to book a tour. I booked as a single and was alone with my driver the whole time, which was ideal for me. Every hotel stayed at was spectacular, beyond my expectations. The tour was outsourced to another company, which on arrival was a disappointment, because I booked this company intentionally, but I ended up with E-Pronto and Eddy went out of his way to make sure I had a spectacular trip.

5 days in Uganda
My friend Priscila started to exchange emails with Justus an year ago, and since the beginning he was always impeccable on the responses. He was 24/7 ready to reply all our questions and doubts.
The actual trip was amazing and perfect!
Julius, our guide was always very polite and helpful and willing to show us the best of Uganda.
The safari was over our expectation, we were able to spot many animals, even a Leopard. Thanks for Julius persistence!!!
Both hotels (Rushaga and Pumba Safari Cottages) were very good, but Pumba Safari was also an unique and great experience, all staff was very pleasant.
Leaving the best to the end...
The opportunity of being close to the Gorillas and watch them peacefully in their habitat is very powerful. It is impossible to describe the emotion in words. The Bwindi team that dedicate their lives to save and preserve those animals are real heroes!
It was indeed a life changing experience!
Thank you Justus and Julius for all!!!!!

UNFORGETTABLE TOUR WITH HONEST AND RELIABLE COMPANY
Right from the initial planning of my tour Justus was extremely attentive and prompt in responding to my emails, this gave me confidence and trust right from the beginning, I realized quickly I did not need to be the least bit worried about sending half the money to them in advance. He also helped with suggestions for me when I expressed my preferences and assisted me in a perfect Itinerary that met all our needs and we were completely happy with, could not have done anything better. Moses our tour guide was so patient, punctual, reliable, flexible and caring about all our needs and concerns. We would highly recommend Gorilla Bookings to anyone that asked us advice for a trip to Uganda. Uganda is an amazing country to visit, we have done lots of traveling in our life and Uganda is our favorite so far.

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!

My favorite memories
just finished a 5-day safari with Gorilla Bookings and it was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences of my life. During our safari, Gorilla Bookings perfectly scheduled our lodging, gorillas permits, gorilla trek, game reserve drive, river channel ride, and chimp trek. We never experienced any delay during our entire trip and every activity was organized efficiently. Our safari picked us up from Kigali, Rwanda and transferred us to Biwindi Impenetrable Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Lake Bunyoni (all in Uganda). We were able to observe hippos, gorillas, chimps, buffalos, elephants, zebras, cobs, birds, lions, and so much more. The memories I made on this safari with Gorilla Bookings are memories I will never forget!
However, what made this safari truly spectacular was our guide Ben. Ben is one of the nicest humans I have ever met. He was super friendly, accompanying, a great driver, and just all around amazing (he speaks 26 languages!). After the end of our trip Ben felt more like family then a guide. We will miss Ben!
Short story, if you are looking for a safari company to book your dream trip - pick Gorilla Bookings!!!

Incredible company - you’re in good hands!!
AMAZING safari company. Justus was a wonderful organizer, who gave us extra information, and accommodated all of our special requests. I went with 3 other women, and we requested mid-range acccommodations, which far exceeded our expectations! Gorgeous views and impeccable service at Agandi Uganda, Twin Falls Lodge and Birdnest Lodge - all which were recommended by Justus! Ben was our driver, but more like a family member! He went above and beyond for us to make sure we saw all the animals we wanted (the gorillas were FANTASTIC) and that we always had a fun time! We couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable guide, with a great sense of humor, and can-do attitude! You’ll be so happy you chose this company! :D

Amazing experience and fantastic guide
I went with 3 friends to the 5 days "Gorillas and wildlife safari tour".
Moses, our guide and driver was really amazing and super kind. We really had fun with him. We felt safe during the road trip and he provided a lot of interesting info and useful advise to us during the whole trip duration. He is incredible at spotting wildlife (lions, birds, etc...) and you can see he really wants to provide the best possible services and experience to his guests.
The trekking with Gorillas was absolutely amazing, a true once in your life experience.
The lodges in Bwindi and Queen Elisabeth National Park were really great, with stunning views over the nature.
The tour is super well organized and Gorilla Bookings is definitely a company I can recommend.
Don't hesitate, you can trust them and you will have an amazing tour!
