Well-organised, friendly and professional
I booked a 3-day Bwindi Gorilla tour at the very last minute, on the evening before the trip departure from Kampala.
Kawlaw was super efficient and organised the permits, accomodation, driver etc within a couple of hours. All communication was done via WhatsApp.
Payment had to be made online as their office was already closed for the day. I was hesitant to make online payment via a payment gateway I wasn’t familiar with. However, Kawlaw made an effort to meet up with me to explain about the payment gateway, and it was reassuring to be able to put a face to the name.
Edie, the driver/guide, assigned to us was easy-going and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time with him.
The entire trip went smoothly with no hiccups, which left us able to enjoy the experience with no worries.

Ronnie was very accommodating and informative
This was my bucket list trip and it was more than I could ask for. We were on a budget but we had wonderful accommodations and private tour. Our guide Ronnie was great ! He took care of everything for us and gave us some additional but I don’t understand what the big height is recommendations, like lion tracking and a river cruise and took us to restaurants for local and traditional cuisine which made our trip even better!!

Perfect trip with the best itinerary.
We are just home from our safari with Magical Gorilla Adventures. Everything went perfect! Our guide took such great care of us. Ask for Eddie he was the best. I felt he was a very safe driver. Our mid range lodging was very nice and food was great. Please be prepared for long drives if you want to cover lots of parks as we did. The drives were worth it . Uganda is so much more than just seeing the Gorillas.

An itinerary made with care and a safari to remember for a live time
Magical Gorilla Adventures is a great company to go on safari with. The itinerary was made with care and we could ask a lot of questions before and add an accomodation we saw online. That was really nice. Aina and Holo were always really friendly before and after and during our safari. The accomodations were amazing and we saw so much of the country in just 10 days. Our guide was good too. We only wished he explained a bit more but when we asked him something, he was always happy to explain and ready to help. If we would do another safari we would problably do this again with Magical Gorilla Adventures.

Eddie was one of the best parts of the whole trip! I will miss him and hope to see him again!
There is nothing bad to say about Magical Gorilla Adventures! If you plan on gorilla trekking call them!
They handled everything for the group and were a pleasure to work with. Our guide Eddie was close to overthrowing seeing the gorillas for best part of the trip. He was just as excited as we were. He always had a smile on his face, super knowledgeable about everything we were doing and passing. He often shared meals with us and always had a story to tell. I can’t wait to do this again!
