Magical encounters in Uganda and Tanzania
We spent two weeks in Uganda and Tanzania organized by Magical Gorilla Adventures and we had the best time.
Communication was really good and fast via WhatsApp. The accommodations were great.
Our guide Peter in Uganda was amazing. He was really friendly and a very good driver. He put a lot of effort to give us experiences and the best memories. We learned a lot about Uganda and its culture and he knew a lot about animals. We saw a lot of animals in Murchison Falls Nationalspark. The chimpanzee tracking in Kibale was very memorable. Our highlight in Uganda was the Gorilla tracking in Bwindi. We were very close to the gorillas and had the best experience.
After an overnight stop in Ruanda we flew to Tanzania and were picked up by our guide Macha. We visited Central Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Nationalpark and we saw so many animals. The cheetahs even played on our safari car and we saw more than 80 lions. Macha was a great driver and he spotted so many animals for us.
The two weeks trip to Uganda and Tanzania was just amazing and we will never forget. Everything was organized very well. We definitely recommend Magical Gorilla Adventures and our guides Peter and Macha and would love to do another trip with them!

Great Safari Experience
We had an absolutely wonderful 17-day safari experience and can wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone planning a trip. From the very beginning, communication was clear, professional, and fast. Emails were answered quickly, often much sooner than expected. Every question was addressed in detail, which gave us a lot of confidence before the trip. One of the biggest advantages was how flexible they were, both before and during the safari. They accommodated all our planning changes without any hesitation or feeling that we were “bothering” them. Adjustments to the itinerary were handled smoothly, and we always felt our preferences were truly listened to. The entire 17 days were organized seamlessly, and we could simply relax and enjoy the experience. Any changes or tweaks we requested on the road were taken care of quickly and efficiently. The trip felt very personal and tailored to us, rather than a standard, rigid package. Overall impression is that this is a company that genuinely cares about its guests and goes the extra mile to create a memorable safari. The combination of responsiveness, flexibility, and warm, attentive service made this one of our best trips ever. Highly recommended for anyone who values good communication, adaptable planning, and a worry free safari
Nyungwe in 4 days
Our driver, Innocent, was excellent, as were our guides. We felt safe and adventurous. They were all very flexible, adjusting due to weather one evening, and our wish to do more birding. Everyone was on time, enthusiastic and ready to go. All had excellent English. We saw 7 species of primates, & 8 endemic species of birds, along with a viper snake, lizards, butterflies, and plants . We loved our experience!

Best tour operator
I had the best 7-day safari of my life with Magical Gorilla Adventures in Uganda. All communication and safari planning was very effective and clear from the start and they were supportive and patient with all the amendments and requests. Also, they give you great suggestions for the tour depending on your needs or wishes. Aina suggested me to do chimp trek, which was my favorite part of all the safari (thank you Aina!). As for our tour guide Eddie, he was the absolute best. He really went above and beyond for me to see all of the Big 5. I went to different safaris in Africa and had several tour guides and they all were good, but Eddie really was outstanding. I suggest that, if possible, book your safari with Eddie. Eddie always made sure to talk to other drivers and/or the national park’s authorities to look for the animals and he is also a good tracker, he knows where and how to look for the animals. He also made sure we were always safe and taking necessary precautions which is also a very important thing to look for in a tour guide. I strongly recommend Magical Gorilla Adventures for your safari, you won´t regret it.

This tour operator is great
We definitely recommend Magical Gorilla Adventures! They are very fast in responding and they arranged a very nice 3-day safari tour to Akagera National Park for us. Everything was taken care of! We had a great driver/guide Faustin and the lodges in Akagera NP were really fantastic!
We really had a great experience. We loved every minute of it!

Magical Gorilla Adventure planned an adventure for us thru Kigali, Uganda and finally to Kenya
Our accommodations planned were generally first class. A small change of room at Birdnest but the food was excellent along with the views and boat ride. So safe to walk around. Bwindi Nukuringa Gorilla lodge a memorable experience in the mountain views. Trekking the gorillas from Rushaga gate a bit of a drive from the lodge as was the 6 hour experience to see 2 gorilla families at once. The tree climbing lions, trekking the chimps, going with the electronic tracker was an experience. The boat ride on the Kazinga channel was like a zoo from the water. We resolved our accommodations at Mweya as there are not some decent ones there. Papaya lodge had too many steps but we handled but the food the accommodations, view were stunning. Our final stay at Mara River Camp gave us time to chill out and relax along with some Safari outings. Sitting and watching the animals along the river at meals, the fireplace fires and campfires were special. Magical Gorillas and Robert our main guide was the best to make certain we stayed healthy and safe. The entire experience ran smoothly thanks to their planning and the personality and dedication of their staff.

Magical Gorilla Adventures crafts journeys that touch the heart—bringing travelers closer to Africa’
Our trip to Uganda and Rwanda was absolutely magical. Thanks to the agency’s perfect organization and Duncan, our wonderful guide, we were able to experience a journey that exceeded all expectations.
In Uganda, trekking to see the gorillas was one of the most moving experiences of our lives, and in Rwanda, the golden monkeys were simply unforgettable. Duncan not only guided us with knowledge and professionalism, but also shared so much about his culture, especially during our visit to a local market, which made the trip even more enriching and authentic.
This was not just a trip, but a collection of memories and experiences that will stay with us forever. We are deeply grateful to the agency and to Duncan for making this dream come true. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Thanks Magical Gorilla Adventures for once in a lifetime experience
I had the most incredible experience with Magical Gorilla Adventures during my gorilla trekking adventure in Bwindi. From the very beginning, their team was professional, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. The booking process was seamless, with clear communication and helpful guidance on what to expect and how to prepare for the trek. Thanks to Kolo and the team. Highly recommend them!
