A wonderful experience with gorillas in Uganda thanks to Kevin Nicholson of Experience Uganda
Kevin's pre-trip advice and responsiveness was excellent! He couldn't have been more helpful.
We booked one day hiking for gorillas and a second day hiking through the Bwinidi Impenetrable Forest to Buhoma.
Our flights were on time and well organized. Our accommodations and meals at Nkuringo Gorilla Lodge were very good (they had some electrical problems which they resolved) - spectacular views. The hike to see gorillas was a great experience - very much up to our hopes and expectations. We hiked (downhill) about 90 minutes to the gorillas and spent a memorable hour with them assisted by porters, trackers and rangers. The lead ranger asked if he could use my camera. That was a mistake. He was a good ranger and hike leader, but he was an awful photographer. He probably took over 100 photos of which perhaps five are "good". My error. The hike back up the mountain was difficult (my wife and I are both 78+), but we made it.
The hike to Buhoma was pleasant and not too arduous, but the forest is so dense and shady that we saw very little wildlife - just some fleeting glimpses of a few different birds. We had hoped (perhaps naively) to have some good views of at least a few birds.
Our stay at Karibu Guest Lodge and our meals there were very enjoyable! Happy, hard working staff that went out of its way to be helpful to us. It is close to the Entebbe Airport which is very convenient.
A+ to Experience Uganda and Kevin Nicholson.

Amazing experience, we were able to see many animals, all the big five except for rhinos.
The tour was excellent, the guides were very helpful and told us s lot about the animals, their behavior, the geography, trees and all.

great service and great experience with this company
from the very first day I contacted Philemon he always tried his very best to answer all my question and gave me all the details about the trip that I need I had requested a certain guide and he delivered on that also. I was totally blown away on how my team treated me and took care of me especially on summit day they really stepped up on that day and made sure I reached my goal without risking my safety the rest of the team was great also they worked non stop every day it was amazing how hard they worked and the food was unbelievable I did not expect to be feed that much and the cook was also amazing on his meal selection. It was just a great experience working with Philemon and my team I will never look anywhere else when I head back next time.

I was expecting it to be in the wild massai mara. However, when we got there it was almost in the middle of the city till u get inside.

4 Day Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking Safari in Uganda
I went on a wonderful solo 4-day safari in Uganda. My guide Fred was excellent. I was picked up early in the morning from Entebbe and driven to Kibale National Park. The next morning I went Chimpanzee trekking, which was fantastic, and in the afternoon I went for a community tour, which was fascinating and eye-opening, and a swamp walk, on which I saw many different types of birds, monkeys and interesting plants. The next day we drove South to Bwindi Forest through Queen Elizabeth National Park, where I saw lots of wildlife including tree-climbing lions. The following day I went Gorilla trekking. This was a magical experience and the highlight of my 6 weeks in Africa. After gorilla trekking, we drove to Kigali, where my safari ended. Overall, the experience was excellent and I would highly recommend it. I particularly enjoyed my guide Kambugu "Fred" Sunday, who was a great and knowledgeable guide.

Wonderful
We were able to see the big 5 game drive was great. Especially our driver John. He was able to get us whereever there was a somthing to see.
We saw about 4-5 Lions and 3 leopards. We even spotted a hippo just waking in the bush.
Accommodation, food and weather were all great during our 5days tour.
Nothing to complain about. We had a Wonderful time.
