Amazing 4 day guided tour, once in a lifetime experience
I did a 4 day tour in Rwanda and Uganda. Highlights were the Golden Monkey trekking and Gorilla trekking. These are experiences I will never forget. Our tour guide Brian was excellent. His knowledge on the animals was great and was very polite throughout the 4 days. Highly recommend this tour.

Terrific, personal service.
The service Andrew provided was top notch! We started by just booking a gorilla trek and then added a trip to Queen Elizabeth Park, 2 game drives and a boat tour on the channel and a ride back to Kigali. Andrew seamlessly communicated with our hotel staff and coordinated everything to fit together perfectly. He took care of the smallest detail, including water and adapters for our phones in the van.

Friendly, helpful, well organised and committed to providing a great experience.
Great Apes provided us with the experience of a lifetime. Our driver/guide Brian was a great companion for our 10 day safari. He was very knowledgeable about the animals we saw and the places we visited. He was a careful and safe driver and we felt very comfortable driving with him.
The itinerary included all the best that Uganda has to offer but even so we only scratched the surface of what Uganda has to offer. We will certainly visit Uganda again and we won’t hesitate to use Great Apes again. In particular we will ask for Brian to guide us.

Truly incredible experience seeing primates in Uganda!
Our 4 day excursion with Big apes was nothing short of incredible. Seeing chimps and gorillas was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Peter met with us the night before we left to welcome us and our safari guide/driver, Ezra, was very informative and receptive to our wants during the tour. All of the lodges we stayed at were clean with great food offerings, which were included. Would not hesitate to recommend using Big Apes Africa!

Outstanding Solo Travel Experience with Excellent Service and Stunning Wildlife Tour
I had an excellent experience with this tour operator! The communication was quick and easy, and the team was very accommodating and flexible to my needs. As a solo traveler, I always felt safe and well taken care of. The guide was professional, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The tour itself was incredible, covering the Kibale National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for gorilla trekking, and Lake Mburo National Park – all highly recommended! The combination of breathtaking landscapes and wildlife encounters made this an unforgettable adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend this operator for an outstanding journey!

Wonderful tour guide, well organised and good value for money
My daughter and I booked the 10 day Best of Uganda tour. Our tour guide Tim was fantastic. His passion and knowledge of animals and birds was inspiring and we felt like we were travelling with a friend rather than a tour guide. Highlights included the game drives, Murchison Falls, chimps, river cruises to see hippos, birds and elephants and the walk with the Rhinos. The most incredible experience was undoubtedly the gorilla trek. We hired a porter to help us on the trek and it was the best decision we made as she helped us navigate the often difficult terrain. We were so close to our gorilla family, it was truly amazing. The accommodations were mostly very good with friendly and helpful staff. Another highlight was to see local life as we drove through the villages, and a visit to a local primary school at Ishasha. Tim, we can’t thank you enough for a wonderful trip.
