Exceptional 17 Day ‘Bucket List’ trip
Every aspect of this holiday was exceptional. Justus worked closely with me and my friends (we were a group of 4 women) to create the itinerary and select the right experience. He was knowledgeable, responsive and flexible. The references from other happy clients were impeccable. Our driver/guide Charles was excellent. We travelled from Kigali to Uganda and visited Lake Bunyonyi, Bwindi (did two incredible gorilla treks - not to be missed!), Queen Elizabeth part, Kibale (for the chimp trek) and Murchison Falls. Charles was an amazing safari guide and we saw two (yes two!) leopards, lions, elephants, giraffe, etc in the national parks. Our accommodations were amazing and lots of variety - lodges, tented camp (Ishasha) and unique cottages/chalets (Agandi, Papaya Lake). Justus also included several boating and cultural excursions so we really felt like we got to know Uganda. Uganda is very safe, beautiful geography and the people are very friendly. I’d highly recommend Uganda as a holiday destination and Gorilla Bookings as the tour company. We loved every moment.

Amazing experience
I had the pleasure to travel with Gorilla booking on a 3 days trip making Gorilla trekking and a relaxing boat trip on Bunyonyi Lake in Uganda. Everything was perfectly organized, the trekking has been amazing, and the lake has astonishing views. Andrew was the perfect driver and guide of our journey. Highly recommended

Professional, friendly and reliable agency!
I have connected to Gorilla Booking online as I have found the agency via Google. I was never in Africa and Uganda before so I was a little comprehensive. Luckily there was no need for worries.
Sylivia was super responsive and arranged my trip according to my specifications via online correspondence. Once I arrived, everything was "as promised".
Moses, my safari guide and Amon, my city guide, were knowledgable and on top of things. Uganda is a beautiful country and safety was never an issue. And of course, it was great to do a habituation safari with Chimpanzees and Gorillas.
Thank you Gorilla Bookings.

Gorilla trekking
In the beginning of July my brother and I went on a 5-day trip to Uganda to see the gorillas. And we were pleasantly surprised by all of the accomodations we stayed at - they were all very clean and ''fancy'' having in mind we were in the middle of the jungle (the food was amazing as well and it was more than enough of it for us to never be hungry at all). The tour was very well organized, the best part was that the only thing we had to do was to just show up and not think about anything else. We were blessed to have two drivers on the trip - Jimmy and Moses - both very funny and super knowledgable. The experience of seeing the gorillas was unforgettable, it was truly amazing seeing them from only meters away. We also enjoyed the game drive, seeing all the wild animals in their natural habitat. The tree climing lions were certainly the highlight of that day. What we enjoyed the most was the chimpanzee trekking - our knowledgable tour guide Ruth was answering every question we had and knew how to find the chimpanzees. We were observing their morning feed for about an hour and then managed to follow them for a while as well. We ended our trip by a boat tour where we saw even more wild animals: buffalos, elephants, monkeys, different types of birds, a crocodile, hippos. The drivers were also very flexible with timings and managed to take us back to the airport on time. Overall we would really recommend the agency for your adventure in Uganda as everything is taken care of in a very professional manner. (P.S.: Be prepared to have some extra change with you cause there is a lot of tipping on the trip to support their communities)

5 days in Uganda
My friend Priscila started to exchange emails with Justus an year ago, and since the beginning he was always impeccable on the responses. He was 24/7 ready to reply all our questions and doubts.
The actual trip was amazing and perfect!
Julius, our guide was always very polite and helpful and willing to show us the best of Uganda.
The safari was over our expectation, we were able to spot many animals, even a Leopard. Thanks for Julius persistence!!!
Both hotels (Rushaga and Pumba Safari Cottages) were very good, but Pumba Safari was also an unique and great experience, all staff was very pleasant.
Leaving the best to the end...
The opportunity of being close to the Gorillas and watch them peacefully in their habitat is very powerful. It is impossible to describe the emotion in words. The Bwindi team that dedicate their lives to save and preserve those animals are real heroes!
It was indeed a life changing experience!
Thank you Justus and Julius for all!!!!!

UNFORGETTABLE TOUR WITH HONEST AND RELIABLE COMPANY
Right from the initial planning of my tour Justus was extremely attentive and prompt in responding to my emails, this gave me confidence and trust right from the beginning, I realized quickly I did not need to be the least bit worried about sending half the money to them in advance. He also helped with suggestions for me when I expressed my preferences and assisted me in a perfect Itinerary that met all our needs and we were completely happy with, could not have done anything better. Moses our tour guide was so patient, punctual, reliable, flexible and caring about all our needs and concerns. We would highly recommend Gorilla Bookings to anyone that asked us advice for a trip to Uganda. Uganda is an amazing country to visit, we have done lots of traveling in our life and Uganda is our favorite so far.
