Amazing experience in Uganda!
My girlfriend and I decided to go with East African Jungle Safaris based on the glowing reviews and some online recommendations, and we were not disappointed. This was an extraordinary trip, with the gorillas and chimpanzee experiences as highlights. Fred, the owner was great, and very responsive. Our guide, Eddie, was professional, friendly, and very accommodating of all of our questions and requests. The lodges we stayed at were great and the itinerary overall was a good mix of doing a lot while also getting some time to relax at the end of long days. I would highly recommend going with East African Jungle Safaris!

Seamless, amazing experience. Best tour we’ve ever done
We chose this tour because we knew it was locally owned, ethical and very well priced compared to others. The tour exceeded expectations and Ronnie our driver was amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the drive pointing out plants and crops and giving us additional information about Rwanda and Uganda. The communication from the tour was great. We were a little nervous because the website wasn’t flashy but everything was perfect.
The gorillas was a pretty life changing experience, they walked right around and past us and everyone was in awe. The groups are very small too to not upset the gorillas. Highly highly recommend. 10/10 experience

Terrific day trip from Kampala
All the arrangements went very smoothly.
The guide was knowledgeable, pleasant company, and a good driver.
The drive to the national park takes you through the heart of Uganda. Once there, you’ll easily find an amazing variety of mammals and birds (including the Grey Crowned Crane, Uganda's national bird). I visited only during the day, when the ‘prey’ animals are about and relatively unconcerned by a few tour vehicles.
Because I went in the off season, I was by myself, which probably raised the cost, but it was still worth it. The off season has advantages: the temperature was very pleasant, and the countryside was green.
I’d like to come again and spend a night or two, to experience the fauna and landscape at other hours. and not have so much driving on one day.

This was a smooth Adventure!
Our driver/guide Ronnie was great. He was always on time and was a careful and skilled driver. He provided a lot of commentary and knew a great deal about what we were seeing and what was knee to us. Everything worked out. Our tours and permits were fine. Everything on the ground went great.

We felt very safe and everything perfectly organized, memorable journey.
We had a wonderful 3 day in Uganda and very exciting journey with East African Jungle Safaris, honestly they were really a great tour organizer as a Ugandan local tour operator. When we arrived at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest we were really surprised just amazing. Our gorilla trekking day in Bwindi started with mist covering the forest canopy, which made the entire environment feel mysterious. Our guide Eddy split us into small groups and introduced the trackers who had already gone ahead to locate the gorilla families and he also explained how each gorilla has a role in the family and how the silverback protects them. The experience with the gorillas was unique and exceptional. It was the best adventure experience with my best friend. We will remember forever.

Professional and very friendly
I was traveling to Uganda for work and was excited to have an opportunity to extend my time for a 3-day experience to see mountain gorillas (a bucket list wish!) and more of the country outside of Kampala. I chose this tour because it was locally owned, ethical and conservation-focused, very well priced, offered a short option (3-day) that fit my timeline, and had strong reviews on multiple platforms. The experience exceeded my expectations! My driver Eddie was professional and very friendly the entire trip. He kept us on schedule to the minute throughout the experience from pick up to drop off and made sure I was comfortable the entire time.
The booking process was easy and communication was consistent throughout. I appreciate that EAJS offers options for every part of the trip. For lodging, I chose the mid-range package and was blown away by the beautiful accommodations and views in Bwindi and on Lake Bunyonyi. The lodges were very comfortable and every plate of food was delicious. Every aspect of this package is curated with the guest experience in mind and to ensure you truly see and enjoy Uganda. Each person I met along the way was so friendly and welcoming.
Seeing the gorillas was a life changing experience! The rangers and park experience made it clear that the gorillas' safety and boundaries were most important, and we were still able to get within meters of the Happy family -- 3 silverbacks! Just incredible.
I cannot recommend this trip enough; you have to experience it! Don't hesitate, book with EAJS!
