Great value for money and exceptional guide!
5/5

Great value for money we had so much fun in the 5 days gorillas and wildlife tracking tour. The gorillas are just magical:) Our guide Noah was the best! So friendly and really went above and beyond to make sure we are happy and even arranged activities not part of the original itinerary just because we mentioned it in a conversation:) really recommend!

the most unforgettable experience of my life
5/5

We did the 5 days tour: gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, queen elizabeth Nationalpark, lake bunyonyi and a boat cruise. Our guide has been Tony and he was just perfect! He is a very gentle and friendly guy with a huge knowledge about flora and fauna. He really did such a wonderful job and went out of his way to provide us with the most unforgettable experience we couldn’t dream of.
If you want to make the most out of your trip to Uganda you should go with friendly gorillas and ask for Tony!

5/5

Tony, our driver and tour guide, was absolutely wonderful. Not only is he a kind high-character person, he is very knowledgeable about Uganda and really took the time to answer all of our questions. Tony took the time to go the extra mile to ensure our entire trip was special, and to show us his culture and beautiful country. Every minute, from when arrived early to pick us up to when he helped us with our luggage at the airport at the end of our trip, we felt completely taken care of by Tony. Friendly Gorilla Safaris was wonderful, from Anthony promptly responding to all of our emails and questions, to Tony making our trip great. Definitely recommend them!

The Gorilla hike was absolutely amazing and a once in a lifetime experience, I could not recommend it enough! You have to do this tour and you have to ask for Tony to make it even more wonderful.

A couple tips:
- Ensure that the hotel is close to where your permitted hike is located. I did not know that there are 5 locations where you can hike to see the Gorillas, depending on where your permit is for. Double check that the hotel you stay at is convenient to your permit hike site. Our hotel was the Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge, which was absolutely Wonderful and you can check out my review of them, and they are close to one of the hiking sites but it turned out that our permit was for another location so we had a 2 hour drive in the morning to get to our permit hiking site. It made for an especially early morning and a closer hotel to our hike would have been nice. Though the Rushaga really was wonderful.
- If there is a way to choose where you hike and what group of gorillas to see then you should 100% ask for the Nyakagezi group. That is the group we visited, and it was Amazing. The hike was only about 1.5 hour to see the family of gorillas which had 3 silverbacks and 2 babies. The rangers we were with were all lovely. They were so helpful to ensure we got amazing views and photos of the gorillas, and they answered all of our questions. We felt completely safe with them and had a wonderful time.

Once in a lifetime trip with our awesome tour guide Tony, definitely recommend it!!

Austonishing gorilla exoerience
5/5

Friendly Gorillas safaris was amazing. The Gorilla tour we had was amazing. Anthony was so prompt when it comes to reply to our inquiries. The selection of lodges and the choice of vehicle was rather impressive.

The extra romantic relaxationin Lake Bunyonyi was the best that can ever happen.
