Wow, wow, wow! You've found your next adventure!
I cannot be more grateful to have booked with Big Apes, and even more grateful that my lucky stars gave me Brian as my guide! I’ve been lucky enough to have travelled to over 90 countries as a solo female traveler, but this might have been my best trip ever! Why? Rwanda and Uganda are incredibly beautiful countries, full of incredible people, landscapes and nature. From the start of my 4-Day Mountain Gorillas & Golden Monkeys Safari, I knew I was on an amazing adventure in very capable hands. The itneary was perfect, not too much, but always moving and optimising every chance I had to experince something new. I was able to see so much, and at all times felt very supported! The accommodation was great, transport comfortable and boarder passing smooth. But for me the most important special ingredient was my guide, Brian. He was the ultimate professional, always trying to make my experience memorable, giving me additional information and helping me out. By the end it was like I’d just been on a road trip with a friend. The world would be a better place if there were more Brians in it 😊 Don’t hesitate to book, you’ve found you’re next adventure!

Organized
We booked tge trip already back home (made a reservation) snd when we arrived in Uganda just finished all details. The driver picked us up at the right time drove us safe to the park and also provided drinks and snacks. When we returned he took us to the restaurant for lunch which was delicious! We were party of six and I can recommed in the name of all of us to book the Gorilla trip with this tour opertator.

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.
