Professional, attentive, and exceptional service for unforgettable gorilla treks
We had an unforgettable experience with Great Adventures Uganda Safaris! Our trip to see the gorillas in Bwindi was magical, and the entire journey was seamless from start to finish.
After a week on safari in Tanzania, we flew to Kigali, where we were picked up and transferred to Bwindi. At the border, we swapped drivers and were introduced to David, our Uganda driver and guide. David was a skilled and confident driver, navigating the roads with ease and enthusiasm. He was passionate about sharing Uganda with us.
We worked with Samuel to organize our trip, and he was awesome. From the beginning, Samuel was incredibly helpful, communicative, and flexible, ensuring we crafted the perfect itinerary for our needs. His responsiveness, even at odd hours, was impressive and reassuring. When my fiancée hurt her ankle and couldn’t participate in our planned golden monkey trek the day after the gorilla habituation experience, Samuel and the team immediately jumped into action. They arranged a romantic sunset boat ride on Lake Bunyonyi and adjusted our accommodations from Lake Mutanda to the stunning Birdnest Lodge at Lake Bunyonyi, all at no additional charge. This level of care and thoughtfulness truly set them apart.
The gorilla habituation experience itself was everything we hoped for and more. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend extended time with these incredible animals, and it was worth every moment. Our stay at Gorilla Leisure Lodge was another highlight as this lodge had, by far, the best food of anywhere we stayed in Africa, with an incredibly kind and attentive staff.
We cannot recommend Great Adventures Uganda Safaris enough. I would work with Samuel again in a heart beat. The overall attention to detail made our trip stress-free and filled with unforgettable memories. If you’re considering a trip to Uganda, you won't go wrong with this team.
