Great value for money creation
I would certainly recommend Big Apes. Our guide knew a lot about all the different animals (even the birds, which is certainly a plus) and has a real spotters eye. He is a kind man, that wasn't all over the place the whole tour. Accomodations were all nice aswell.

Safari tour Uganda
We did a 8-day trip with Big Apes Africa, where we visited:
- Murchisson falls
- Queen Elisabeth park
- Lake Bunyonyi
- Lake MBuro
Everything was taken care of by Peter, our guide.
The only thing we had to do is enjoy.
During the drives in the different parks, Peter demonstrated his skills as a nature guide. He's very knowledgeable on the wildlife in the parks.
He's open for input and tries to deliver the best experience.
I would like to thank Big Apes for the magnificent time we spent in the Pearl of Africa.
Thanks !

Incredible Trip!
It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The entire journey was well-organized, and every detail was meticulously planned.
Brian, the tour guide, was knowledgeable and friendly and went above and beyond to ensure I had a great time. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, offering a mix of wildlife, cultural experiences, and free time to explore independently. The accommodations were comfortable and conveniently located, and the transportation was smooth and efficient.
One of the trip's highlights was the Gorilla Trek at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, which will be a memorable experience for a lifetime.
Overall, the tour exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a well-organized, enjoyable, memorable travel experience. We can't wait to book our next adventure with them!
Thank you, Big Apes and Brian, for an incredible trip!

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.

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!

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!

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.
