Unforgettable experience
Me and my husband contacted Uganda Safari Booking because it was his long-life dream to see the gorillas in Uganda. From the 5 companies we contacted, this one had the best package, but most of all, their replies were almost immediate. Justus was very responsive at all times of the day. We had many questions and suggestions and Justus was very prompt to accommodate our ideas in the short period of time we had for our trip. On our first day, we had a 10 hour drive from our hotel to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Yes this drive can be made in less time, but we loved it since we had the opportunity to stop every time we wanted, to try local food and fresh fruits, say hello to the locals and visit small markets along the way.
The second day we did the Gorilla trekking and had the amazing surprise of finding a family of about 15 gorillas, including babies and 3 silver back males. We were much closer than we expected and the team that accompanied us was very helpful, making an extra effort to get us closer and clean some branches so we could take the best pictures.
On our third day, we visited Lake Bunyonyi, where we walked around the local market, interacted with the people in the village and visited 2 schools and one local hospital. This was an incredible experience as well, since it allowed us to see and experience Uganda in a manner we did not imagine. The people, the teachers, the kids, everyone was very sweet and welcoming.
On our last day we went back to Entebbe and were dropped on time for our late afternoon flight.
Overall, i would definitely recommend this company and this experience. Justus was friendly, helpful, accommodating, prompt to answer our emails and suggest the best options given our short trip. The hotels we stayed at (mid-range) and the safari car made the experience even more enjoyable. If you are considering a visit to Uganda, do not hesitate to contact this company.

Unforgettable experience, rich program, excellent guide
We have found Gorilla Bookings after extensive on-line search. They were quick and informative in responding, it is clear that they are really local, knowing all the details. Our driver, Charles was an excellent guide, he understood our needs and did his best in the safaris to see the most amazing animal views. The entire program was rolled out as promised.

Perfect Holiday
We have just finished our trip in Uganda, we were over whelmed by the safari offered to us of 12 days Uganda safari. We were very satisfied with the level of service. We were safe with our driver–guide, he was very punctual and quite knowledgeable with wildlife in the game parks. On top of that he was very friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The administration was approachable and friendly and everyone we encountered was great and very helpful from the time of booking time, arriving, till our departure at the airport. Thank you Justus and your team - Strong recommendations."

Amazing tour
It was very easy to book and good that you could pay with credit card. The contact before, under and after the tour was great. Ben drow us safely through the hole trip. One negative thing was that it was no wifi at the cottage and not good at the restaurants.

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!

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!!!
