Reliable
We recently completed two trips in Uganda and Rwanda:
Uganda: Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park and both the standard Gorilla Trek and Gorilla Habituation Experience in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
Rwanda: Golden Monkey trekking in Volcanoes National Park, climbing Mount Bisoke, and safari in Akagera National Park.
From our very first web inquiry, we were impressed. Edison replied promptly and followed up with clear, well-planned itineraries. Communication was smooth from the start, which gave us confidence moving forward.
The wildlife experiences were extraordinary and consistently exceeded expectations. We tracked chimpanzees, saw golden monkeys, and encountered mountain gorillas three separate times — on the standard trek, during the habituation experience, and unexpectedly on our Mount Bisoke descent.
Climbing Mount Bisoke was physically demanding and deeply rewarding. On our way down, a group of 15 wild gorillas — including six silverbacks — crossed directly in front of us. It was unscripted, powerful, and easily one of the most remarkable wildlife moments we’ve ever experienced.
The parks in both countries are exceptionally well managed. The level of organization and dedication to conservation is evident everywhere. Uganda and Rwanda take preservation seriously, and it shows.
The people we met were warm, welcoming, and proud of their countries.
Our accommodations were comfortable and well selected, and the food was consistently good.
Our driver-guide, Mukasa, was outstanding — skilled on challenging roads, punctual, engaging, and steady in every situation. We had a strong, reliable vehicle that handled rough terrain with ease. Both Edison’s and Mukasa’s English are very good, which made communication easy and added to the overall comfort of the experience.
If I had to describe the tour operator in one word: Reliable.
Edison and his team deliver what they promise — professionally, efficiently, and with genuine warmth.

Reliable, responsive, and easy to work with
Edison from Semu Gorilla Safaris was super easy to communicate with. He was very responsive to all our questions and adjusted our itinerary and quote multiple times based on our requests. We ended up with a 6D/5N tour that picked us up in Kigali, took us Gorilla trekking in Bwindi, on safari in Queen Elizabeth, and chimp trekking in Kibale, then dropped us off in Kampala. We made a 50% deposit when we confirmed the tour., then paid the remaining after we were picked up.
We were assigned Jimmy Mukasa as our guide and he was incredible. The guide is what will make your trip, and Mukasa was fantastic. He was responsive to all our requests while on the road. He picked us up right on time and followed the itinerary we requested. He was diligent about starting on time each day, which I very much appreciated. He knew about the animals we were seeing and always made sure we got the shots and viewpoints we wanted. I never felt rushed.

Excelente Safari Tour
I had an excellent experience with Semu Gorilaz. The service was great, and they delivered exactly what was promised. Jimmy, our guide, was very kind and took care of every detail from the very beginning. Additionally, he is very knowledgeable about birds. Since my English is not very strong, he always made sure to clarify any doubts I had.
Junior (practicing) was very kind and also helped me a lot.
100% recomended.

Efficient, professional and always there to help you out.
Semu has offered us the possibility to have this experience on one day adapting to us. Other agencies force you to take minimum three days what increases a lot the price of your experience. Samuel always helpedus fast and he was very professional.
Amazing Guide and Experience
Highly recommend Jimmy and his team! We saw all the big 5, and a large part of that was because Jimmy spotted a leopard way far off. Definitely needed an expert guide like him to see that. He knew so much about the animals and park and was friendly and kind. Also was the most cost effective option we found!
