Reliable and recommendable tour company
We did 5days Chimpanzee & Mountain Gorilla trekking, which was the highlight of the trip. The close access to the animals was such a surprise, but also amazing. The trek to the Mountain Gorillas was a challenge, but so worth it. The guides and the entire staff helping with the trek was just awesome. It was a "once in a lifetime" experience for sure. Our tour guide Justus from Great lions safaris was amazing and he made the trip memorable for us.
Would surly love to book another tour with them and recommend them to our friends

Authentic service providers
My experience in Uganda exceeded any expectations I had. The scenery was beautiful and varied: tranquil lakes, wild waterfalls, lush mountains with incredible vegetation and birds, dense forests and the open bush. Unbelievable sunsets and sunrises. The amount of wildlife is not as dense as other safari destinations so not a lot of big cats, however, the gorilla and chimpanzee treks make up for that. If you are a birder it is a must go. There are so many varieties and as one’s eyes adjust you begin to spot them everywhere. We went with a local Uganda company, Great lions safaris. Our driver/guide, Innocent, was one of a kind. He became like family. He made sure we were well cared for and went out of his way to accommodate us. The people of Uganda were welcoming and had such beautiful spirits. Our accommodations were amazing as was the food. I would skip the cities like Kampala and Entebbe except as a point of entry and departure. But the rest is pure magic.

Amazing experience & Great Staff
5/5
We had a great experience with Justus of Great lions safaris. The communication from Great lions safaris was great and we felt very looked after the whole time. Our Tour Driver Justus was very knowledgeable of the local surroundings and had a great passion for his work. Justus went above and beyond for us and was very accommodating and worked very hard to get all our needs met including when we fell ill and had to go to the doctors, Justus took care of everything and rearranged things for us so we wouldn't miss out on anything. And also he helped us out after hours after our tour had finished, our flight got rescheduled unexpectedly and we were left at the airport but he came to the rescue and arranged airport transportation and accommodation for us even though he didnt have to. We found all the accommodation staff to be very friendly and welcoming too. The food was always delicious and there was always plenty of food all day. We would highly recommend this tour and this tour group to everyone and we are very Thankful that we chose Great lions safaris

Great lions safaris is Professional, flexible, and fun tour operator with super guide
Thank you so much to Great lions safaris for an amazing tour! We had the trip of a lifetime with our wonderful guide Godfrey. He is a genuinely lovely human and we are grateful for his time and care spent sharing his passion for all creatures (especially gorillas!) and the unique local cultures around Rwanda and Uganda. In Rwanda we visited Akagera where we saw so many majestic animals and we absolutely loved the chimp trekking in Nyungwe that doubled as an epic hike. It was particularly special to visit the magical place that is Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda and see the Gorillas up close.Godfrey was both incredibly accommodating with our requests and changes of plans - I was quite nervous and they ensured we felt safe and comfortable. We would highly recommend booking with Great lions safaris and we hope to tour with Great lions safaris again one day!
Thank you, thank you soo much for the experience you gave us

Great lions safaris provides an authentic memorable experience with fun in the shortest time frame.
Great experienced driver guide with equipped knowledge of the safari, the accommodation was awesome and I enjoyed mostly the game drive especially when we spotted a leopard and the lion having a fight over a kob. It was a great experience. Trip to remember.....
