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.

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.

I spent 8 days travelling in Uganda (august'2018 12-20th) through some National Parks and places like Kibale (chimps), Kazinga Chanell (elephants, hipos, crocodiles and many birds), Queen Elizabeth (lions, bufalos, hyenas), Bwindi (the gorillas), Mburo (zebras, girafs), and Rwakobo Rock, and I could to see many animals and kind of wildlife, (the gorillas - Bitukura family) and to see tipical cultures like a Pygmies (Batwa). All of these was shown for a good equip of work, drivers, congratulations to Charles, Moses and Alan, coordinated by Mr. Justus.

Good organisation with reliable, safe and helpful drivers. Always had quick response from the office
I had an amazing safari!
From beginning till the and I had a good experience with Gorilla Booking. When I had a question I always got a quick and good response busy email or phone. On the safari itself everything was well organised and there was always room for my ideas and questions. The driver and trainee were always there for us. I am a single traveler and it was easy for me to join a group. I loved all the options that were given so I good do what I liked the most! I highly recommend Gorilla booking!

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!

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

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!!!

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!
