A Great Trip
For many years I wanted to go see the gorilla's in their own environment. In 2017 I decided to just do it. After some online research I contacted a few booking agencies offering this kind of activity. Since I had only a few days in Uganda and a specific need (Photographer) my itinerary was important to me. Justus of Gorillabookings responded swift and offered me a package that was just right for me. I had such a great time driving to Uganda. Especially with Luke, my driver. The most friendly guy you can imagine, taking care of everything, driving safely and still able to spot a leopard in a tree at 50 meters distance. I had a great trip!

Breath taking and smooth!
We got in contact with Gorilla booking and the service was impeccable. They could arrange for us to meet up coming from different destinations in the best way. Arranging local flights and car pick up. Safe driver and the most stunning stays in lodge and then in tent camp. Very good service with meals and trekking booked and planed. The destination Bwindi national park is great place to meet the gorillas. Lovely guides, trekkers and porters looked after us and the gorillas. The whole community is involved from school, sustainable food companies to local young artists. Friendly, lovey travel experience in a breathtaking enviroment.

Very good experience.
I think the trip was excellent. And the attention from the online guys was good until.......
It was awkward for all of us when Jimmy was informed by office - this, half-way to Queen Elizabeth Park - that I needed to pay the rest of the fee before we proceeded . However, I hadn't receive a email reminder, and as I had booked some months previously, I finally figured out that I really hadn't.
So, we had to do several bank withdrawals along the way, on separate days, in order to fix this. I expect one of the online guys forgot to send the reminder, just like I forgot I needed to pay it. (Sorry guy(s) , I'm sure neither of us did this intentionally).
I would definitely recommend a trip with Safari Bookings
But it was solved and I definitely would recommend the trip.

It was an awesome experience, made more enjoyable by my friend and driver Ben
Gorilla Bookings was very helpful and informative from beginning to end. I felt well looked aftermath in the booking process and in the actual experience of being in Uganda. Ben my driver and friend picked me up from the airport and looked after me from then to the end of my trip. I could not ask for more.
Thank you guys.

The best trip of my life!!!
I spent many years wanting to make this trip, dreaming of Africa. Looking for agencies on the web, I found recommendations for Gorilla Bookings, and I contacted Justus. From that moment, he did everything to make my trip special, removing all doubts and responding to each message. I traveled alone, from Argentina, but there I found friends, people that I did not know, but that made me feel at home. Ben, who went with me to the airport, Justus, who welcomed me as a friend, and especially Charles, a great guide, and a great person. Intelligent, patient, kind ... Everything was a great adventure. Wonderful places, animals everywhere, the big five (thanks to Charles, we found them!), All on time, everything perfect ... and with extras !, as they accustom. Luxurious accommodations, with incredible views, like out of a fairy tale. Gorilla Bookings offers you what you want, and more! ... and the icing on the cake, the visit to the gorillas in Bwindi, simply amazing, an experience that leaves you speechless. Wonderful. Super recommendable, even if you do not speak much English, like me, that is not an obstacle, they are geniuses.
Thanks for everything Justus, Ben, Charles ... and until I return !!!
Gorilla track Uganda
My mother and me went to see the Gorilla's in June. It was truly an amazing experience, something we will never forget. Partly this experience was so good due to the great organization of Gorilla bookings and the good company of our tour-guide Ben. They arranged literally everything for us, so we did not have to worry about anything and could just enjoy the beautiful country of Uganda.
This trip has been a blast and I can strongly advise everyone to book with this company. They make your trip very easy.

Great trip to Rwanda and to the Bwindi NP
We had a great tour including a half day loop to Rwanda. We spent one night at Lake Bunyonyi and two nights at the National Park. The trekking and meeting the gorillas were incredible, the hotels were comfortable and our guide, Justus made a great job. The team of Gorilla Bookings were communicative, flexible and reliable. We can only recommend them.
