extraordinary
Thanks to Francis, our super chauffeur and Gorillas Tours for bringing us to this wonderful country, Uganda, with the perfect climate under the equator, thanks to its altitude.
Beautiful landscapes, abundant wildlife that looks to pass with a curiosity as great as ours.
The population is very friendly, security is everywhere, the use of the English language is recommended

Great value for money: friendly, flexible and experienced guide.
We had a great journey with Richard as our guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. The tour was tailored to our wishes, well organized and the overall experience was awe-inspiring. We chose budget options mostly, which offered very pleasant accommodations along the way.

A Hike among the Gorillas
I was very pleased with my Gorilla Tours experience. Gorilla Tours arranged for me to travel with another family and we had a great drive through some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. The Airport Rest House and the Gorilla Valley Resort provided excellent accommodation. We saw gorillas after a short tough hike which left us with time to tour a local village, Rushaga. It was a great experience. I strongly recommend Gorilla Tours. The company was well organized, accommodating and provided an excellent service.
Way exceeded our expectations!
Communication was thorough and timely. We were asked about adding a fourth person to our party and that worked out wonderfully and cost us less per person. The driver was first of all an extraordinary driver. We were in good hands. It's a very long 9 hour drive from Entebbe. Our driver was pleasant, answered all our questions, and was tolerant of our 'tourist ways and attitudes'. Definitely an under-employed young man. He stopped by the roadside so I could buy Ugandan grown tea. There was an informative introduction on the day of the hike. Even so I was not prepared for the magnitude of what we were doing. We stood quietly, 10 feet away from a gorilla family having their breakfast! We had 3 guides who knew the gorillas by name. We had porters, which I did not expect. The climb was steep. My husband said the Ugandans do not believe in switch backs. We had an outstanding trip from start to finish.

Fantastic tour, great guide, well organized! Couldn't have asked for a better trip.
We had a great time and the entire trip was well planned and executed by Gorilla tours. Our guide was knowledgable and very efficient. I loved our accommodations - all of them had tons of character and ambiance. The service was great as well as the locations. We wanted to make a very last minute change and our guide was very helpful and willing to do this. And it was a great value! I have no hesitation in recommending Gorilla Tours.

Amazing experience thanks to Gorilla Tours
I found Gorilla Tours after doing some online research, I contacted for information & received a very prompt detailed response so decided to book. The booking process was all via email & very easy. Virgo was my main point of contact & was happy to help with all my questions & organised every detail of the trip.
When we arrived in Uganda we met our guide/ driver James. James is excellent & made our trip so memorable, he is eagle eyed & able to spot & identify wildlife from long distances, he has great knowledge about birds also.
All accommodations were great, the staff looked after us so well.
We had the best of experiences, I can see why Uganda is known as the pearl of Africa. I would happily recommend Gorilla Tours

2 weeks roudtrip including gorillas ans chimps visits, and many other safaris (driving or boating)
Everything was OK. No problem at all, organization was perfect. We much appreciated lodges and camps in the nature. Our driver (and guide as well) did a very good job. We have seen a large amount of animals : gorillas, chimps, cobs, other monkeys, buffaloes, elephants, lions, leopards, hippos and crocodiles, birds... and even the very rare shoebill (lucky we were!). Do not miss boating on the delta in Murchison Falls Park, and on Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth Park. Regarding gorillas and chimps we have been well impressed by the excellent organization of UWA (Uganda Wildlife Authorities). If you have time, do some pedestrian safari as we did in M'Buro. You can faithfully ask any question to Gorillas Tour, that kindly and quickly answers, thanks to Virgo and Violet.
