10/10 stars! It was epic!
Wow – what an experience.
We would book again immediately!! Our guide was Andrew. He is fantastic: friendly, helpful, communicative, and always punctual.
The evening before departure, I received a WhatsApp message from Andrew confirming the pickup time and location. We approached the upcoming four days feeling completely relaxed and full of anticipation. We were absolutely not disappointed. Thanks to Peter, Peace, and especially Andrew for this incredible experience.
Thank you!
We hope to return to Rwanda and Uganda someday and travel with you again.
Best regards from Germany,

Excellent tour through Rwanda and Uganda
Our family of four had a great time with our guide Ronaldo. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and added a lot of context to our trip. In Africa, things go sideways with mechanical issues, muddy roads, etc…it’s all part of the adventure and Big Apes found solutions when they were needed. The tour was as planned and the trip of a lifetime!

Just adequate. Not up to the description on the web. Just adeguate
The company contacted us by email before departure, but then they never contacted us again. The driver/guide was very good, but he was a freelancer, not a member of the company.
The hotels were very mediocre (except in Bwindi), especially the lodge in the Queen Elizabeth, with inadequate staff and terrible food.

Very Diverse Uganda-Rwanda Experience
Really appreciated Peter’s willingness to work with me on customizing our 13-day Uganda-Rwanda adventure. I can’t overemphasize how great it was to do the trekking experiences for the gorillas, golden monkeys, chimpanzees, and rhinos. I had been to Kenya and Tanzania previously, and these trekking experiences were really unique. While the game drives in Uganda were great, I also really enjoyed the water activities in Kazinga Channel, Murchison Falls, and Mabamba Swamp. Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary was another surprise with all of its different monkeys and birds.
Don was our driver/guide for the entire experience and he was great! Very accommodating and helpful.

The trip of our lives so far
We traveled to Uganda with Big Apes Africa for 11 days at the beginning of February.
At first, we were in contact with Peter, who helped us put together our trip. He listened carefully to our wishes and together we decided on the hotels where we would stay. Peter recommended some real hidden gems. Later on, Bella took over and helped us with the finishing touches. Since this was our very first safari experience, the pre-trip information could perhaps have been a bit more detailed. However, whenever I had a question or concern, Bella was always available and happy to help.
Our guide throughout the entire trip was Don and we truly couldn’t have imagined a better guide. He is an incredibly kind man, very punctual and his knowledge of the local fauna and flora is simply exceptional. Thanks to him, we were able to live our dream. We will always be grateful to him for that.
