I have been with them for over 12 years, great
I have been using Gorilla tours every year for 14 years to visit the gorillas. They are simply the best! So professional and everything is taken care of. You will also have the most professional and lovely drivers, they really make the experience for you as they are there to take care of your every need!
They have my highest recommendation and I am sure I have made this journey many more times then most!

Such an Incredible Experience
I absolutely loved my experience with Gorilla Tours! I scheduled my trip very last minute and they were very accommodating and great about answering all of my questions. The safaris were so incredible and it was such a cool experience getting to see so many animals; lions, giraffes, antelope, zebras and so much more! Getting the experience to hike and see the gorillas brought tears to my eyes because I never imagined I would find myself having the opportunity to do that! I loved getting to drive through the country of Uganda and our guide was so knowledgeable and shared so much information about the country, the land, the people, everything about it! As a solo traveller of only 20 years old, I was a little nervous about embarking on the journey but, Gorilla Tours was great about making me feel safe and well looked after. If you are searching for an overall amazing experience, Gorilla Tours is the way to go! And if you are heading to Uganda, make sure to ask for Ronnie, he is the best!!
everything worked out perfectly
communication beforehand for planning the tour with Virgo very pleasant and helpful, prompt reply via email. excellent guide Ronald, amazing in viewing wildlife from far distances. Accomodation adaequat in quality. Safari vehicle very good comfort and quality ( almost new Landcruiser)

A wonderful Ugandan experience
Thank you gorilla tours for organising such a fantastic Ugandan holiday. Safe to say it was a holiday of a lifetime. Great accommodation all reasonably priced; a safe, knowledgeable driver and of course the beauty of Uganda. Seeing the Chimps and Gorillas is something everyone should do once and use Gorilla Tours if you can.

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.

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

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.
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.
