Wonderful once in a lifetime trip. Silverback gorillas and Golden Monkeys amazing. All great!
Carol was wonderful to work with. She was very patient with all of our questions and requests. She was able to accommodate special requests and made our tour very special. Our driver William was wonderful. The hotels were all nice, but our favorite was Five Volcanoes Lodge. The staff was the friendliest and best we have ever come across. They truly made us feel like special guests. The Gorilla Trekking was amazing. Not difficult at all and we saw the most beautiful Silverback family up close. One young gorilla fell out of a tree and landed at my feet which made for some excellent video. Carol also arranged for us to go to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to hike to the top of a volcano (Nyiragongo). That was unbelievable. Overall this was a perfect trip.
Gorilla link tours was incredibly accommodating and supportive in organizing a customized trip.
Gorilla link tours staff was very helpful throughout the entire process. Not only did they customize a trip itinerary to our exact needs but they very quickly responded to every question I had (and I had many questions throughout). The tour itself was well organized and made every thing very easy. Our hotels were beautiful, staff kind and attentive and our guide made sure everything went smoothly throughout the trip. I highly recommend gorilla link tours

Best Animal Encounters Ever.
Our hostess Carol, is like an excellent glass of champagne, bubbly and refreshing. She also demonstrated both Business Acumen and Biological Sensibility to those of us that were lucky enough to be her guests. I imagine that her ability to charm drivers, guides and other service personnel, into scrambling to fulfill our needs, is hard to equal amongst her peers in the industry. The scenery and the animals that we encountered were no less than spectacular and I can hardly wait for our next adventure with Gorilla Link Tours.

Timeless Ugandan Experience
Coming from America, I wanted to have an authentic and real experience of Eastern Africa and Carol provided that. Gorilla Link Tours provided me and my friends with an amazing time at Mweya Safari Lodge and Queen Elizabeth Safari Park in Uganda. I recommend you book with Gorilla Link Tours immediately, you will not regret it! I cannot wait to go on future trips with Carol and Gorilla Link!

Had an amazing time with Gorilla Link Tours in Uganda!
The communication with GLT was great and easy. They were always receptive to what we needed and made sure we were getting the best out of our experience with them! The safari tour we went on at Mweya was great and the drivers showed us everything they could with the help of our GLT associate Carole! Overall had a great experience and learned about the many options GLT has to offer. I can't wait till I visit Africa again and get a chance to visit with GLT once more.

A quick river falls trip and a one day safari
The trip was amazing. I honestly don't think it could have been better. Vicent was the best!!!
He read us so well, seemed like he knew exactly what we wanted to see and got there to show it all to us. From his timely arrival at our hotel in Kampala to his tremendous driving skills, he was great. We loved the boat ride to the falls and all the sites we saw along the way. The hippos, elephants, and crocodiles were entertaining and we were happy not to see any snakes. Our hike up the falls was absolutely delightful and we got some great photos. Vincent was there to take us back to the lodge. The next morning the game drive was incredible. We saw four of the big five but frankly the giraffes more than made up for the lack of a leopard. Again, Vincent's skills really worked to our advantage. He pointed out numerous birds including the Secretary bird and the Crested Crane. When we thought there could be nothing more to see we arrived at the Rhino sanctuary, it was amazing to see these beautiful animals and learn about the struggles they are up against. We saw six rhinos all together. Very cool.
What was my favorite part? All of it, I don't think we would change a thing, but we will be back for more.

Very experienced, very caring, wonderful trips every time
I have travelled to Uganda several times with my daughters and friends and always choose Gorilla Link Tours to help us decide the best itinerary and to make the bookings - they have been the perfect Tour Operator every time. Their staff know everything about tourism in Uganda - not just in theory but they have sampled most of the locations and many of the lodges/camps. Whatever the interest and budget of the group, they have arranged the perfect tour. They are especially talented at getting gorilla tracking permits when these are hard to come by - and at short notice! Nothing is too much for them and while trip is underway, they are working 24/7 behind the scenes making sure everything is running smoothly. So I never have to worry about anything and can just enjoy my time in this fabulous country.

Nervous traveller felt welcome
To be honest after hitting 40 I always wanted a big adventure but felt time was slipping away. I have a number of health problems so to put it bluntly I am a nervous traveller and this was my time to go so far.
When I decided on Uganda I looked at a number of websites and called the companies. I was concerned about using my credit card and such like. Then a friend recommended Gorilla Link Tours, I gave them a call and spoke to a lovely lady called Caroline.
She asked me a few questions and said she would get back to me in an hour. Two hours later she called back apologising for the delay and said she had made a tour for me and provisionally book the hotels and events (Trekking, quad biking, zip lining etc).
I asked about payment and 20% was required by bank transfer which I was please about and the rest in cash when I arrive. Once in Uganda I was collected at the airport, lots of smiles and champaign all round.
The whole experience was amazing and I was also given a free upgrade and city tour. Carol you were great thanks very much and see you again in December.
