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!

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!
