Fantastic 3 days gorilla trekking in Bwindi National Park
We had a wonderful 3 days trip from Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to see gorillas. Everything went smooth and it has been a great experience. The driver was very responsible, a good guide and cared about his customers.

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.

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!

Extremely helpful and incredible trip!
Myself and partner booked with Gorilla bookings Uganda (Justus) with short notice, I think 6 weeks before we left.
Justus was incredible helpful and fast to respond to all my emails.
I was nervous and asked Justus all the questions and he was able to answer all my questions putting my mind to ease.
The trip he had organised for us was beyond what we could have hoped for!
Every detail was planned perfectly! From the moment we left the airport to the moment we arrived back home.
Justus and Emond were waiting for us when we arrived in Entebbe.
Our driver Emond in Entebbe was incredible and organised a tour around Kampala for us with some spare time we had.
Our tour guide also named Justus went beyond and above for us! He was more than happy to tell us about all the places and people we were seeing.
He made sure we seen as much as possible. He organised activities for us in our downtime as we wanted to be on the go the whole time! He chose the best gorilla family for us and made sure we were very happy at all times!
Justus was a highlight to our trip!
Thank you Gorilla bookings Uganda
For organising a trip we will never forget and treasured every moment!

Amazing trip
I had the most amazing time the staff are so friendly and correct. They really went beyond the call of duty to make sure I had a good time. I would 100% recommend them and also I would do this trip again.
Justus and Ben were just awesome!
Incredible Experience. Face-to-Face with the Mountain Gorillas of Uganda
Visiting the Mountain Gorillas may just be a once in lifetime experience and to have it so well organized & pleasant made it a very very special trip. The opportunity to come within a few feet of the gorillas in a safe and relaxed manner is something I'll always remember.
From the start, Justus was so responsive and made it seem so easy to come up with a perfect trip for on the short notice I gave him. He responded to each of my emails so fast & in such a thorough way that the trip was planned and scheduled in record time. My group received the best attention from our professional guide and driver, Jimmy. Jimmy is a pure delight! He is such a gentlemen and really seems to be so happy in creating a safe and fun environment for his guests. He has such a keen eye and was to quick to point out all the amazing creatures big and small.
I highly recommend Gorilla Bookings!
Thank - Stephanie

Nice vacation
We went to Bwindi for Gorilla trekking and then on to Queen E. NP on a 5-days trip from Kampala. We were very satisfied with the service, our program, our driver and all lodges & activities. The booking worked perfectly and we appriciated the possibility to pay with credit card. Thank you! Strong recommendations.
