Awesome driver with great conversation along the way.
This 4 day adventure met all of my expectations - they had everything set up for a successful golden monkey and gorilla trek, driver muzhei was amazing, and all the places we stayed we top notch.

Great experience from start to finish
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Magical Gorilla Adventures from start to finish. The booking process was straightforward, all of our queries were answered promptly, and communication throughout was excellent. Our driver, Innocent, was outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had the best possible experience. Overall, it was a truly memorable trip, and we would highly recommend Magical Gorilla Adventures to anyone looking for a seamless and well-organised adventure. Thank you for a fabulous experience!

Magical 9 Days! Highly recommended 👍🏻
We booked a 9-day "Best of Uganda" safari with Magical Gorilla Adventures.
Let me say this upfront: Booking this trip with Magical Gorillas was absolutely the best decision we could have made.
Communication beforehand was mainly via WhatsApp. Kolo was always, and I mean always, available and answered all our questions immediately. Our initial concerns about the permits for the chimpanzees and gorillas were completely unfounded. Kolo sent us photos immediately after receiving the permits, clearly showing the documents… everything went smoothly!
The itinerary, as well as changes regarding the lodges, were adjusted and handled according to our wishes within a very short time – very professional. That's the key point – the communication beforehand, as well as the trip itself, was planned and executed with absolute professionalism.
We've already experienced several safaris in Africa and are therefore familiar with a few potential pitfalls in planning and execution. But our 9 days in Uganda were the most beautiful and relaxing days we've ever spent in Africa.
``` Our guide, Robert, played the biggest part in making our trip a success!
From day one, right up until the heartbreaking moment when we had to part ways, Robert was incredibly dedicated and professional. Thanks to him, we learned so much about Uganda. Not only about the wildlife (which, by the way, is spectacular), but Robert also shared so much about the country and its people. It was clear he'd been doing this job for a while; he knew exactly when it was time to share his insights and when it was time for a break. He always made time for us and was always responsive to our needs. No journey was too far for him – exactly the kind of guide we had envisioned and hoped for! Robert was an absolute stroke of luck for us.
... We wholeheartedly recommend "Magical Gorilla Adventures" and especially Robert as a guide 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Our advice: visit this beautiful country and discover its treasures (including its people). You won't regret it.
Happy Travels

Amazing tour would recommend
I recently traveled to Uganda with Magical Gorillas, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
Our tour guides, Eddie and Collins, were exceptional. They were knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and always went the extra mile to ensure everything ran smoothly. The transportation was comfortable throughout the trip, and the drivers were safe and reliable, which made the long drives between destinations very enjoyable.
The tour was delivered exactly as outlined in the itinerary, with no unexpected changes or hidden costs. Everything was well organized, and the accommodations exceeded our expectations. The lodges were of a very high standard, and the food at each location was excellent.
The highlights of the trip were undoubtedly the chimpanzee and mountain gorilla trekking experiences, both of which were unforgettable. The boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel was another standout, offering incredible wildlife viewing in a beautiful setting.
Overall, I would highly recommend Magical Gorillas to anyone considering a safari or wildlife adventure in Uganda. They delivered a seamless, high-quality experience that exceeded our expectations.

They're not lying when they say "magical"
The only bad thing about our trip with Eddie was that it was only two days and not longer. But boy, did we have a great time on those two days! Magical Gorilla Adventures chose an idyllic lodge for us, Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge, and a wonderful restaurant for lunch on our second day, the Bird's Nest. We enjoyed the Batwa Cultural Walk and the boat trip on Lake Bonyonyi very much. Needless to say, the highlight of our trip was the time we spent with the gorilla family. They put on a great show for us, especially the baby. A dream come true! Thank you, Magical Gorilla Adventures, for this truly magical experience. And thank you so much, Eddie, for not only providing us with the smoothest trip, but also for being so friendly and funny and for making the car rides very interesting and enjoyable!

Gorilla tracking and more - everything your heart desires
If you go to Uganda and want a truly magical adventure, I highly recommend booking with magical gorilla adventures. Our trip was exactly that - magical. We were always very well looked after and we felt safe at all times. All our wishes were made true and even more. This has easily been the best and most memorable trip of my life so far. Thank you!

Magical Gorilla Adventures provides excellent tour guides and trip agendas in Uganda and Rwanda
As a Travel Agent, I have access to all the major players in the Gorilla trekking field and tours in Rwanda and Uganda After much research I selected Magical Gorilla Adventures. Aina of Magical Gorillas Adventures is very helpful and promptly answers questions and concerns and provided very good tours at reasonable prices. The guides/drivers were friendly, personable, reliable and spoke very good English and were always promptly at my hotel or lodge to pick me up and were very knowledgeable of the areas we were going to. They drove carefully on what are typically crowded and not so great roadways in both countries. They truly care about you and your comfort and well being.
We hit all the major places tours of much higher cost do, and we went places other tours don't go, such as the Rhino Reserve in Uganda and Jinja (source of the Nile). The lodges were very comfortable and well maintained. I have no complaints to speak of and strongly recommend Magical Gorilla Adventures.

Once in a lifetime experience
We booked a two-day gorilla trek from Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda and had a truly unique experience! Everything went smoothly, our driver Naboth was fantastic and absolutely reliable – from picking us up at our hotel to the transfers in the area and the return trip to Uganda. The gorilla trek was a real adventure, and after a two-hour hike, we found a family of 16 gorillas, which we were able to approach to within a meter to observe them. The gorillas weren't bothered at all. It was incredible. The Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge was also great. I would recommend this tour to everyone!

Amazing trip in Uganda and Kenya
Absolutely outstanding experience.
We did a 12-day safari across Kenya and Uganda (Gorilla trekking, Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli) in January 2026 and it exceeded expectations. The guides were exceptional: deeply knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate. They ensured we learned not only about wildlife, but also about local cultures, traditions, and daily life, which made the trip truly immersive.
Communication with the agency was flawless end to end—responsive, clear, and proactive. Everything ran smoothly, on time, and exactly as promised.
I’ll recommend this agency to all my friends and relatives! Hopefully we’ll come back soon as well!
