A very great and unforgettable experience with Gorilla Tours
We are just back from a ten days trip in Uganda organized by Gorilla tours. The program was very complete and gave us the opportunity to visit various parts of this so beautifull country: Murchison Falls, Rhino Sanctuary, Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth NP, Bwindi, Lake Bunyonyi.. We apprecieted a lot the very good location and services of the different lodges, which were always situated in a very nice environment (view on the Nile River in Murchison, or on the equatoral rain forest in Kibale and Bwindi, or on the Kazinga Channel with a view on the elephants bathing in front of our tent in Queen Elizabeth Bush Camp... We also apprecieted the company of our guide/driver, Ronny, which is an excellent and very carefull driver and has a perfect knowledge of all the visited places. We also appreciated the very good communication with Virgo who gave us an immediate and appropriate answer to all our requests and demands. The program and the service were conform and even up to all our expectations. In all the visited places and lodges, we found a very kind and smiling hospitality, and very good food. We saw a lot of animals in vey good conditions and the chimps and gorilla trackings were very nice and unforgetable experience. We recommand Gorilla Tours and their programs to anyone whish to visit Uganda.

Truley amazing seeing such beautiful creatures in their natural habitat! Highly recommended!!!
Gorilla tours made this experience great! Our driver was so knowledgeable when driving and a great laugh! The gorillas themselves .. We're just amazing! Seeing them in their natural habitat and how close you get to them is an experience that I will never forget! The accommodation was lovely with great facilities and fantastic views of the volcanos and delicious food! LOVED every minute of this well organised trip!! Huge thank you to Baker and Violet for being so helpful!! :)
Amazing tour including good office support and great driver during the trip
We love Uganda and very much appreciated the flexibility by Gorilla Tours to pick us up from Mukono.
Ronald was a competent driver and very pleasant and knowledgeable company.
We will definitely keep coming back to Uganda

All in One service Tour Operator
I booked the trip online and communicated with Jennifer, her responses were very efficient. Payment was done online and I was ready to go.
My driver/guide Francis pick me up on time from my hotel in Kampala, he is very professional and took care of all the payments which ever that is included in the package. He also make sure that I made it to the boat tour at lake Mburo as the departure time has changed. It was really an excellent trip, I have got the best room with the best view in both accommodation, the company also owned the hotels that I used in Bwindi and Mburo National Park. It was excellent! For a solo female traveler, this is really the best option!
I join a group of 6 people for the Gorilla hike, we were lucky to see the gorillas 1.5hr in the trek and we spent 1hr just observing them and following them. I also had a chance to walk with the giraffe, there is nothing I would ask for. Thank you so much for organizing my trip.

Perfect trip
We really enjoyed our trip with gorilla tours. Our driver Donah (Donna) was a really nice lady, she told us a lot about the nature, animals and it was a pleasure with her! The comfort and service was very good.
We have seen a lot of beautiful things we will never forget! Thanks!
11/10 tour and service
Best experience ever.
From day 1 Gorilla Tours 10/10. Anette is super responsive and helped us with every question. The lodges are extremely beautiful , the car brand new and well equipped and the itinerary well structured.
But the real additional value was our guide Grace. She told us so much about herself and Uganda and always went above and beyond to make us have a great experience. She is so solar and funny, took us to local restaurants and even got us the best rangers in the national parks so we always had amazing experiences with the animals. Grace is a truly beautiful person.
Will recommend this agency and definitely come back myself.

A perfect trip
My experience with them has been perfect. I contacted them because they are one of the first tourism companies in Uganda. From the first moment the attention was fast and efficient, resolving my doubts at all times.
They made me a 12-day itinerary around the country in which I was able to visit the most important national parks.
I have experience in going on safaris and I have been super happy with them. The hotels they chose for my mid-range budget were excellent.
The guide who accompanied me was 10 (Wilson) and by the way an ax looking for leopards.
I would repeat without a doubt.

Fantastic experience! Value, safety, knowledge, kindness, experience, organization, all tops!
My wife and I booked a 13-day tour (offered by GT's sister agency Habari), and worked mainly with Annette in the Kampala office. Annette was very helpful, professional, providing complete and very informative answers to our questions (what to expect, what to bring, money, health, visas, etc). (This was our first trip to Africa - no clue. We have had many trips to SE Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Middle East.)
We joined a group, made up of 3 single women, and two other family women members. The group dynamics do influence the trip and we had a fun group!
In our trip, we visited 5 national parks - our favorite was Murchison Falls, though all have a special flavor. Murchison had savannah, Nile River, lots of animals (elephants, buffalo, hippos, birds, lions, giraffe, etc) it does take a full day to get there from Entebbe, but you do have a stop over to see rhinos at reserve - amazing! Chimp tracking was a blast, they're so personable! The shoebill bird in Lake Mburo, a treat.
Our driver/guide was Isma, someone who we all grew to admire and really appreciate - conservationist, teacher, guide, all around great human being. He kept us informed, on schedule, safe, fed, and bio-braked. What's more, he inspired us.
We went at start of rainy season, which means fewer people but more risk of rainy days. It did not get in our way except for one day. There's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing....
Lodges were our style - well located, comfortable, clean, very welcoming staff, with a bar, and not overbearingly luxurious or stuffy, great value. We reminisce about hearing the hippos in the evening, colobus monkeys just outside our door, the sunsets.
I would love to bring my adult kids and my parents. The 13 days does require some stamina for long vehicle drives, but what you see along the way is all new, sometimes funny, exciting. It always felt safe, was always full of wonder, excellent value, worthy of repeating and expanding. Gorilla Tours has my vote for a great tour company with excellent staff!
