Great experience!
I did the 3 day gorilla track and it has been amazing. Meeting the Gorillas and being so close to them was very special.
Moses, my guide was very nice, helpful and he told me a lot about Uganda, the culture and the wildlife.
My hotel was great and everything was well arranged. So only positive feedback!

Uganda's top gorilla company
Me and my husband visited Uganda and Ruanda with Gorilla bookings agency. we never knew anyone in the country but we trusted Justus and his team by paying all quotation in-advance with credit card.
Everything went smoothly and properly arranged ahead of time. The country is amazing from country side, people are approachable, ATM available and almost every luxury hotel accepts credit card. We loved most staying at mweya safari lodge in Queen Elizabeth park and Birdnest at lake bunyonyi shores.
We will introduce you to all our friends in Europe. Danke

AMAZING
This experience was wonderful! I think you have to be somewhat fit to do the trek but they do have levels. The hotel was beautiful and exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend! This is an experience of a lifetime! Everyone was friendly and very helpful. The booking company stayed in communication every step of the way and made this such great experience.
Just wonderful thank you
Excellent company I felt safe and looked after the entire trip

Wonderful introduction to the beauty of Uganda
I booked the gorilla safari to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda for August 15 to 17. Justus, a wonderful salesperson (!), suggested adding on two days in Queen Elizabeth Park before. Communication was extremely well done. Arrangements were efficient and courteous. I met Justus briefly on the morning of August 13 just to finalize arrangements and then headed off across Uganda with Moses and his assistant Alan. I had a wonderful time with them. They were invariably eager to explain everything I asked about Uganda, nature, culture, language, their families and lives and anything else.
They went out of their way at every turn to make the trip memorable and exciting. I loved every aspect of it. The greatest highlight is of course spending an incredible hour with a family of gorillas. The trek is extremely well organized and the rainforest very beautiful. Another highlight was the amount of wildlife on the Kazinga Channel. That boat ride is well worthwhile.
I really enjoyed the company of Moses and Alan. They are charming, caring and extremely hardworking. Congratulations to all.
Amazing. Unique experience
Very good excursion The gorillas are very friendly. We did two days gorilla trekking. Highly recommended Do not hesitate to do it. The agency has everything organized. The silverback hotel is very close to the entrance (5 minutes). Good hotel, nice view and good food.
Do it!!!

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

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.

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.

I had a fantastic 5 days. Ashadu looked after me all the way. He was knowledgable, helpful, has an acute eye for spotting wildlife, energetic and fun. It was such an experience seeing so many species. I will definitely recommend.
