Amazing experience!
5/5

A world class service, thanks to Caroline’s restless effort and dedication!

The attentiveness, responsiveness and passion of Caroline has brought us an excellent gorilla trekking experience. Moreover, the whole trip was planned thoroughly and we were well taken care of by Robert, who is a great guide with good knowledge and experience.

We have no doubt to recommend Gorilla Link Tours to our friends who is considering to visit Uganda.

Best choice you can do experience
5/5

An Operator who really takes care of your wishes. Gorilla Link tours allways was open to our ideas of travelling. Richard, our Driver and guide was well educated, knew all about his Country (Fauna, Flora, History, Economics....)friendly, helpfull and knew People and spots all over the Country. Good lodges, good Food, well organized Safaris ( the big five within just 2 days). We are really very happy. Caroline, the owner, was allways in contact with us, before, during and after the journey. A really serious Company we would book any time again. We will be back for sure. What a Country! Thank you athousand times Uganda and Gorilla Link Tours fot this experience.

New standard of excellence for safari's
5/5

There were many tour company's to chose from but after reviewing many we chose Gorilla Links Tours . We are glad we did.
We asked Carolyn the owner/ operator of Gorilla Link Tours to design a safari like no other.
We decided on Murchison Falls National Park.
She took up the challenge and besides the normal morning and afternoon safari's that are expected, she provided two night safari's where a park ranger joined our guide as we ventured out in the evening. As night approached we saw lions leaving there cubs as they set out to hunt. We saw a female lion who just lost a cub to a Cape Buffalo and was mourning, eventually picking up the cub and carrying it to be buried. We saw a mother with 3 cubs feeding, as she laid on the ground. Even our guide had never seen this before.
I'm not saying you will see what we saw, but you will for sure see things over and above the norm. Carolyn arranged for a small "private"boat to tour the Nile river so we avoided the crowds of the big boats and got in close to shore to maximize our viewing experience. And surprisingly all the extra were reasonably priced. Carolyn did so many others things for us at no cost.
A wonderful personality to deal with. You won't regret using Gorilla Link Tours. Ask her to get Richard for your guide. He is outstanding and will bring your safari to a new level. Ask for him!!! You again won't regret it. He makes the unexpected happen. Great guy.
We also heard huge positives on the Gurilla tours from others we met that used Gorilla Links Tours. Again, I'd ask her to get Richard. His name is now out there so book him early. Seems everyone we spoke to had outstanding experiences and satisfaction with Gorilla Links as we did.

Trip of a lifetime
5/5

I am so relieved I chose Gorilla Link Tours to help me plan and organise my trip! We originally were looking at Gorilla tracking in Rwanda but the week we were intending to pay for our tour the gorilla permits went up in price ($750 to $1500)! Luckily Caroline at Gorilla Link Tours had a solution right away. Instead of seeing the gorillas in Rwanda we changed destinations and did a 8 day tour in Uganda instead. Turns out we ended up liking the itinerary for Uganda more than we did Rwanda (Uganda is an absolutely incredible country). Caroline made everything so easy, from arranging a tour in our budget, to walking us through how to go about payment. All emails were responded to so quickly which just added to the simplicity of booking.
Once we landed in Uganda, everything ran so smoothly, we had the most amazing tour guide who always had an answer to all our questions. All the accommodations we stayed at were great, and the activities planned each day exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend choosing Gorilla Link Tours to help you organise your trip :)

white water rafting
5/5

My team and I started out on an early sartuday morning for one of our bucket list items *water rafting* and Gorilla tours were prompt with time. Caroline Amutuhaire, the bubbly lady we went with is an amazing person.yet proffesional and knowledgeable, het enthusiasim rubs off to everyone. Because of her company, the journey from Kampala to Jinja seemed so short; she filled us in on different stories, giving insight into different potential gate away places. Although non of my team members is a birder, I felt like I had know birds on the Nile and butterflies for a long time. The guide fussed about our comfort and very resourceful on planning for different future activities!!

My team

My team was a first time rafting team and non of us could swim, the operator put our fears to rest. She assured us of safety and fun and sure enough it was a thrilling day for us. The soreness we got from rowing the rafting was a good check of fitness

Wonderful once in a lifetime trip. Silverback gorillas and Golden Monkeys amazing. All great!
5/5

Carol was wonderful to work with. She was very patient with all of our questions and requests. She was able to accommodate special requests and made our tour very special. Our driver William was wonderful. The hotels were all nice, but our favorite was Five Volcanoes Lodge. The staff was the friendliest and best we have ever come across. They truly made us feel like special guests. The Gorilla Trekking was amazing. Not difficult at all and we saw the most beautiful Silverback family up close. One young gorilla fell out of a tree and landed at my feet which made for some excellent video. Carol also arranged for us to go to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to hike to the top of a volcano (Nyiragongo). That was unbelievable. Overall this was a perfect trip.

Gorilla link tours was incredibly accommodating and supportive in organizing a customized trip.
5/5

Gorilla link tours staff was very helpful throughout the entire process. Not only did they customize a trip itinerary to our exact needs but they very quickly responded to every question I had (and I had many questions throughout). The tour itself was well organized and made every thing very easy. Our hotels were beautiful, staff kind and attentive and our guide made sure everything went smoothly throughout the trip. I highly recommend gorilla link tours

Best Animal Encounters Ever.
5/5

Our hostess Carol, is like an excellent glass of champagne, bubbly and refreshing. She also demonstrated both Business Acumen and Biological Sensibility to those of us that were lucky enough to be her guests. I imagine that her ability to charm drivers, guides and other service personnel, into scrambling to fulfill our needs, is hard to equal amongst her peers in the industry. The scenery and the animals that we encountered were no less than spectacular and I can hardly wait for our next adventure with Gorilla Link Tours.

Timeless Ugandan Experience
5/5

Coming from America, I wanted to have an authentic and real experience of Eastern Africa and Carol provided that. Gorilla Link Tours provided me and my friends with an amazing time at Mweya Safari Lodge and Queen Elizabeth Safari Park in Uganda. I recommend you book with Gorilla Link Tours immediately, you will not regret it! I cannot wait to go on future trips with Carol and Gorilla Link!

Had an amazing time with Gorilla Link Tours in Uganda!
5/5

The communication with GLT was great and easy. They were always receptive to what we needed and made sure we were getting the best out of our experience with them! The safari tour we went on at Mweya was great and the drivers showed us everything they could with the help of our GLT associate Carole! Overall had a great experience and learned about the many options GLT has to offer. I can't wait till I visit Africa again and get a chance to visit with GLT once more.
