It was an awesome experience, made more enjoyable by my friend and driver Ben
Gorilla Bookings was very helpful and informative from beginning to end. I felt well looked aftermath in the booking process and in the actual experience of being in Uganda. Ben my driver and friend picked me up from the airport and looked after me from then to the end of my trip. I could not ask for more.
Thank you guys.

Very good experience.
I think the trip was excellent. And the attention from the online guys was good until.......
It was awkward for all of us when Jimmy was informed by office - this, half-way to Queen Elizabeth Park - that I needed to pay the rest of the fee before we proceeded . However, I hadn't receive a email reminder, and as I had booked some months previously, I finally figured out that I really hadn't.
So, we had to do several bank withdrawals along the way, on separate days, in order to fix this. I expect one of the online guys forgot to send the reminder, just like I forgot I needed to pay it. (Sorry guy(s) , I'm sure neither of us did this intentionally).
I would definitely recommend a trip with Safari Bookings
But it was solved and I definitely would recommend the trip.

One of the best trips in my life!
I really want to thank the agency and especialy guide - drivers Luke and Ben for an amazing and unforgetable trip! Your kindness and friendly attitude towards us made us feel really welcome and safe trough out the whole trip. It was my cousins Rasa birthday and you even arranged a cake for her and made her birhtday even more unforgetable. Once again , I really thank you and wish you all the best, I am sure you will make many more tourists so happy as we were with you!

Breath taking and smooth!
We got in contact with Gorilla booking and the service was impeccable. They could arrange for us to meet up coming from different destinations in the best way. Arranging local flights and car pick up. Safe driver and the most stunning stays in lodge and then in tent camp. Very good service with meals and trekking booked and planed. The destination Bwindi national park is great place to meet the gorillas. Lovely guides, trekkers and porters looked after us and the gorillas. The whole community is involved from school, sustainable food companies to local young artists. Friendly, lovey travel experience in a breathtaking enviroment.

A Great Trip
For many years I wanted to go see the gorilla's in their own environment. In 2017 I decided to just do it. After some online research I contacted a few booking agencies offering this kind of activity. Since I had only a few days in Uganda and a specific need (Photographer) my itinerary was important to me. Justus of Gorillabookings responded swift and offered me a package that was just right for me. I had such a great time driving to Uganda. Especially with Luke, my driver. The most friendly guy you can imagine, taking care of everything, driving safely and still able to spot a leopard in a tree at 50 meters distance. I had a great trip!

Gorilla tracking uganda
I firstly want to say that the trip was amazing. Our tour guides Ben and Luke were excellent and were able to solve any situation that was occurring whether it was bad or good. We believe that the trip wouldn't be the same without them. They were always positive and answered all our questions. I have nothing bad to say about them or the agency. The car we traveled in was spacious and extremely comfortable. We would like to thank them for their service and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is travelling to Uganda or Rwanda. We enjoyed every moment. Thank you very much again for all your work- Simona, Klara, Slavo, Bibo, Henrich, Rasa and Gintare.

Great experience!
We (me, my brother and my mom) had a quick three day trip in February. We flew back and forth from Entebbe and stayed to nights at the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The hike was outstanding and the hour among the gorillas was unreal. Justus was great regarding the booking and planning and Ben was with us during the trip and took great care of us. If you go make sure to bring enough cash, there is no way to withdraw cash in the park and you will want to hand out a lot of tips .
To conclude, we would recommend anyone to go see the gorillas and we would also recommend you use Gorilla Bookings while doing so, five stars.

Initial contact to the actual booking, very helpful, fast and accurate.
The pic-up, tour and tour-guide was very professional and helpful. It was better than I expected.
Choosen accomondations, where less than I expected.
The Gorilla-trekking was a fantastic experience, however we had a very looong trekking. It is recommended that you are prepared for a quite exhausting walk out of any path.
Still not decided ? - just do it, its a must !!

From the first contact with Justus to the last administration of the hands of our guides and chauffeur-Ben and Luke, it was fabulous. They are nice people willing to meet your every wish.Thank you and recommend this expedition for overyone.

Fantastic Trip to The National Parks, plus Chimpanzee and Gorilla Trekking
The service from Justus for the booking and assistance with Visa's, hotel reservations on arrival and departure from Entebbe and flights from Southern Uganda back to Entebbe was great. Jimmy was our driver/guide and he was very knowledgeable, helped us with everything we needed. He came up with some surprise stops including a walk with the Rhino's at a rehabilitation centre on the way to Murchison falls National Park. Would recommend Gorilla Bookings to travellers
