Big Apes - well organized, very friendly guide, incredible experience….
Hi, I booked a 4 days / 3 nights Safari from Kigali / Ruanda to Uhanda and the way back. Among other things I went to see the Golden Monkeys, Lake Bunyonyi and ….. THE GORILLAS in Biwindi NP.
This experience was completely extraordinary and will stay with me forever !
My guide and driver was an extremely friendly, open minded and intelligent young man. It was very pleasant to spend the days with him.
The tour was well organised, accommodation was good and the people around were very nice.
Very good value for money by the way. And a reputable agency.
Thanks to Andrew and Peter !!

Best Tour Guide and Gorilla Experience in Africa!
Since we arrived, everything was smooth thanks to Ariyo Timothy.
He was driving us and explaining us everything about our experience and answering all the questions we had.
Apart from that, he was always kind and nice with everyone, even when things (still Africa) happened.
The Gorillas were just perfect and beyond our expectations.
Very friendly and professional
We had a fantastic 10 days here in Uganda with big apes. Our first part of our journey was with a guide named Tim and he was very welcoming and friendly with a great passion and knowledge for the animals putting in a great effort to show us as much as possible.
The other half we had a guide named Gerald who has was very knowledgeable with animals as well as good at teaching us the history and culture and the different local languages so we could say some friendly greetings to some of the locals as well as adjusting the schedule when one activity took longer than expected to keep things flowing and fun.
I would highly recommend big apes as it is very organized and professional you would be very lucky to have guides like Tim and Gerald i would highly recommend both for your next safari!

Unreal Gorilla and Nature Experience
We spent the tour in Uganda and Rwanda, so worth experiencing the two different countries. Obviously the highlight was the gorilla trekking, it was incredible, we were so close to them. The landscape is really spectacular too. Our guide, Andrew, made our experience really authentic, he shared a lot of knowledge about the history and cultures of both countries which was really fascinating, we learnt a lot.

Trustworthy and Excellent Accommodations
My wife and I recently completed a 4 day / 3 night safari tour of the golden monkeys at Volcanoes National Park, the gorillas at Bwindi National Park and Lake Bunyonyi in Uganda . Our guide, Ambrose, was reliable and excellent , helping us make sense of the culture and activities we participated in. We also took on some activities that we had time for that wasn’t pre-arranged that was time and money well spent including the cultural activities outside of volcanoes park (highly recommend). Book with confidence and be sure to tip the rangers , animal trackers, hotel staff and of course your guide .
Professional, knowledgeable and courteous
Big Apes Africa is a top choice for safari bookings in Uganda. The manager Peter warmly welcomed me to the country as soon as my flight landed in Uganda. Then my guide Gerald took me on a safari journey that's once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend Big Apes Africa to anyone seeking a memorable safari tour in Uganda!
