Gorilla trekking
5/5

In the beginning of July my brother and I went on a 5-day trip to Uganda to see the gorillas. And we were pleasantly surprised by all of the accomodations we stayed at - they were all very clean and ''fancy'' having in mind we were in the middle of the jungle (the food was amazing as well and it was more than enough of it for us to never be hungry at all). The tour was very well organized, the best part was that the only thing we had to do was to just show up and not think about anything else. We were blessed to have two drivers on the trip - Jimmy and Moses - both very funny and super knowledgable. The experience of seeing the gorillas was unforgettable, it was truly amazing seeing them from only meters away. We also enjoyed the game drive, seeing all the wild animals in their natural habitat. The tree climing lions were certainly the highlight of that day. What we enjoyed the most was the chimpanzee trekking - our knowledgable tour guide Ruth was answering every question we had and knew how to find the chimpanzees. We were observing their morning feed for about an hour and then managed to follow them for a while as well. We ended our trip by a boat tour where we saw even more wild animals: buffalos, elephants, monkeys, different types of birds, a crocodile, hippos. The drivers were also very flexible with timings and managed to take us back to the airport on time. Overall we would really recommend the agency for your adventure in Uganda as everything is taken care of in a very professional manner. (P.S.: Be prepared to have some extra change with you cause there is a lot of tipping on the trip to support their communities)

Professional, friendly and reliable agency!
5/5

I have connected to Gorilla Booking online as I have found the agency via Google. I was never in Africa and Uganda before so I was a little comprehensive. Luckily there was no need for worries.
Sylivia was super responsive and arranged my trip according to my specifications via online correspondence. Once I arrived, everything was "as promised".
Moses, my safari guide and Amon, my city guide, were knowledgable and on top of things. Uganda is a beautiful country and safety was never an issue. And of course, it was great to do a habituation safari with Chimpanzees and Gorillas.
Thank you Gorilla Bookings.

Amazing experience
5/5

I had the pleasure to travel with Gorilla booking on a 3 days trip making Gorilla trekking and a relaxing boat trip on Bunyonyi Lake in Uganda. Everything was perfectly organized, the trekking has been amazing, and the lake has astonishing views. Andrew was the perfect driver and guide of our journey. Highly recommended

Exceptional 17 Day ‘Bucket List’ trip
5/5

Every aspect of this holiday was exceptional. Justus worked closely with me and my friends (we were a group of 4 women) to create the itinerary and select the right experience. He was knowledgeable, responsive and flexible. The references from other happy clients were impeccable. Our driver/guide Charles was excellent. We travelled from Kigali to Uganda and visited Lake Bunyonyi, Bwindi (did two incredible gorilla treks - not to be missed!), Queen Elizabeth part, Kibale (for the chimp trek) and Murchison Falls. Charles was an amazing safari guide and we saw two (yes two!) leopards, lions, elephants, giraffe, etc in the national parks. Our accommodations were amazing and lots of variety - lodges, tented camp (Ishasha) and unique cottages/chalets (Agandi, Papaya Lake). Justus also included several boating and cultural excursions so we really felt like we got to know Uganda. Uganda is very safe, beautiful geography and the people are very friendly. I’d highly recommend Uganda as a holiday destination and Gorilla Bookings as the tour company. We loved every moment.

5/5

Moses and Allen made our safari experience very comfortable and thrilling. Both accommodated all our needs throughout our time in Uganda. We had such a wonderful time and was pleaslantly humbled by Uganda, its people, the food and everything there is to do and see. We will definitely be back as we feel there is so much more to be done and seen in Uganda!
Till next time,
Love and thanks from our family!

Great host with unbelievable knowledge and dedication - very much customer focussed!
5/5

We only had one weekend in Kampala and wanted to explore the wildlife and other interetsing things near Kampala so I asked at our hotel reception. I got a reco to write an email to gorillabookings and from that moment everything went perfect. In 30 minutes time we have negotiated a full two days safari to Lake Nburo and Jinja at a very affordable rate. We had a great, gentle, friendly and very knowledgeable guide (Allan) who made this weekend a great experience to us. We have not only seen hippos, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles and a lot more at lake Mburo but also learned a lot of interesting things about Uganda, it's wildlife, traditions etc. from our guide Allan. Same applies to the tour to Jinaj, source of River Nile. Great experience. We definitely could recommend touring with gorillabookings - and if you are lucky, you will get Allan as your guide :-)

We had a wonderful trip with Gorilla Bookings. Desire helped us with organising our trip, was always very helpful and reachable. Moses was our guide, we had a very nice time together. Moses has a large knowledge about the country, animals...

Family Holiday in Uganda
5/5

Hi there, I had my vacation in Uganda last December with Xmas, it was mega and massive beyond expectations.
When i searched about reliable and honest companies, Gorilla Bookings was ranked number one in Uganda.
And besides, they have quick response to email regardless if different time zone with Justus ahead of everything. My family had best and outstanding vacation.
Our driver Charles was always on point, full of fun.
The choice of accommodation was best of the best, swimming pool at Pakuba safari Lodge made my kids wish to stay longer.
We will come agian and probably stay 3nights at every hotel. Just drop them an email and you will have your questions answered.
