A seamless, joyful adventure to Bwindi with an exceptional guide
5/5

We had the most wonderful and exciting time in Bwindi with our tour guide Muhwezi Shever. He picked us up in Musanze, Rwanda, drove us across the border to Uganda and up to Ruhija in Bwindi National Park, stayed with us throughout, and brought us safely home three days later.
Shever’s knowledge of the area — from the scenic road to Ruhija to the forest of Bwindi itself — truly brought the experience to life. His passion for bird life and nature was infectious, and thanks to him we spotted and identified species we would never have noticed on our own.
But beyond his expertise, Shever was simply a joy to be with. His easy-going warmth and good humor made every moment feel relaxed and fun — he was the kind of guide who turns a journey into something you find yourself laughing about long after you’re home. He handled all arrangements effortlessly, and whenever questions or misunderstandings came up he was always on hand to put our minds at ease.
We should also mention that communication with Jason at Safari Vacations ahead of the trip was smooth and straightforward from the start, making the whole experience stress-free before we’d even left home.
We could not recommend Safari Vacations more highly, and in particular traveling with Shever. He made our time in Bwindi truly memorable.

A knowledgeable, fun guide and at the same time a safe driver.
5/5

Easy to communicate both via WhatsApp and in person. Always accommodating your wishes and give good advice on questions.
Supporting of every query and making sure everyone was having a good time!
The timekeeping was very good both on the longer drives (when crossing the border between Rwanda and Uganda and also for heading out on trekking.
Our great guide was Muhwezi Shever, who also is very good for birding!

Once in a lifetime experience.
5/5

I'm very grateful for our experience with Safari Vacations! We did a 4 day trip that included seeing the Rwandan Genocide Memorial in Kigali, a chimpanzee habituation trek in Kibale National Park, and a Gorilla trek in Bwindi National Park. Leading up to the trip, Jason, the Director, was very communicative and I appreciated his prompt responses to my questions. Darius, our guide and driver, was very kind and was responsible for picking us up from the airport and driving us to our destinations. I expected long travel days, but have to admit the days were longer than expected. I'm glad we went to Kibale but in retrospect I think I would have built in another stop or day to break it up a bit. It ended up being ~7.5H in the car to drive from Kigali to Kibale and then ~6H the following day to drive back down from Kibale to Bwindi. Seeing the chimpanzees was a cool experience, but seeing gorillas in Bwindi was what really made our trip memorable. Bwindi was a beautiful park and it was special getting to spend time with gorillas in their natural habitat.

The lodges we stayed in were definitely rustic but everyone was very kind and the food was good.

The trip was expensive, but I think considering seeing gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitat was a once in a lifetime experience it was worth it. I also appreciated that the money for the permits contributes both towards the animals' conservation and towards the local economy. All in all I would recommend Safari Vacations to friends and family!

A true local that showed us an amazing time and went above and beyond for us!
5/5

The trip was absolutely amazing and we seen gorillas, chimps, lions and more! The guide went above and beyond for us. The guide made the experience absolutely amazing and I highly recommend Muhwezi shever! He will show you the local food and people and do anything to make your trip even better! All the accommodations were very good and I can’t wait to go back!

He is the best tour operator I have ever had!
5/5

Everything went off without a hitch. We got to see gorillas, chimps, lions, elephants, baboons, hippos, water buck, springbok, buffalo, warthogs, crocodiles and more! The places we stayed were perfect and the service was out of this world. The breakfasts, lunches, and dinners all were really delicious. As a professional photographer, I had the opportunity to capture everything I was looking to photograph! Also, our guide Muhwezi Shever got us everywhere we needed to be on time and has a ton of information on anything you think of asking!
