5* Tanzania & Uganda
We have just returned from an unforgettable two-week holiday with Eco Adventure Safaris, and we honestly couldn't recommend them more highly.
Our first week was spent on safari in Tanzania with our guide, Furahini, and it was absolutely incredible. He was professional, friendly, funny, and an outstanding guide. His knowledge, driving skills, and ability to find wildlife made every day unforgettable. We enjoyed the most amazing animal encounters in Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Every accommodation was fantastic, the food was excellent, and everything was perfectly organised.
For the second week, we flew to Uganda, where Elias was our guide. He was equally wonderful—friendly, professional, and always made us feel safe and well looked after. He got us everywhere smoothly and ensured we had the most incredible experiences, including gorilla trekking, chimpanzee trekking, and visiting Queen Elizabeth National Park. Gorilla trekking, in particular, was a truly unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
A huge thank you also goes to Patrick, who organised our entire trip. From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, answered every question quickly, and made the whole planning process completely stress-free. Everything ran seamlessly from start to finish.
This was truly the holiday of a lifetime, and we are so grateful to everyone at Eco Adventure Safaris for making it so special. If you're thinking about booking a safari in Tanzania or Uganda, don't hesitate—you'll be in the very best hands. Thank you for an absolutely perfect trip!

Super experience
Eco were recommended to us so we never looked around or did any comparisons. We would recommend them to anyone else. Eco looked after getting permits, picked us up and took us back to our accommodation and also booked accommodation for us in the forest. All was super and worked without a hitch. Michelle was a super communicator and Eric a super driver and travel companion. We have memories to last our lifetime.
Unforgettable Mountain Gorilla Encounter in Bwindi – A Dream Come True!
Our Mountain Gorilla safari in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park was the highlight of our trip to East Africa — truly a bucket-list experience that surpassed all expectations. Trekking through the dense rainforest and spending an unforgettable hour with a family of wild mountain gorillas was incredibly moving. Watching the silverback, playful juveniles, and mothers with babies up close felt magical and deeply humbling. The park guides and trackers were outstanding: knowledgeable, safety-conscious, and passionate about conservation, which made the encounter even more meaningful.
Our driver, Godfrey, played a huge role in making the whole journey smooth and enjoyable. He safely handled the long round-trip drive from Kigali to Bwindi and back, sharing interesting stories along the way. On our final morning, despite heavy traffic in Kigali, Godfrey expertly navigated the roads and ensured we arrived at the airport well on time. His reliability, professionalism, and friendly attitude added greatly to the trip. He is the guy!
If you’re considering a gorilla trek in Uganda, go for it — Bwindi delivers an awe-inspiring, well-organized experience you’ll never forget.
Would you recommend this to a friend? Absolutely yes!
Value for money? Worth every penny!
An Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience in Uganda
Our safari with Eco Adventure Safaris was an incredible experience from beginning to end. Patrick did a great job with the planning and communication, and everything was very well organized. The lodging was very good, the itinerary ran smoothly, and we always felt well cared for throughout the trip.
Our guide, Elias, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and helped make the entire experience even more enjoyable. His guidance and local knowledge added so much to the trip.
The highlight, of course, was seeing the gorillas. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were fortunate to get some incredible photos, but what made the experience even more memorable was being able to watch the gorillas’ behaviors and interactions up close. Seeing how they communicated, moved together, cared for one another, and interacted within the group was absolutely amazing and something we will never forget.
We were equally impressed by the hospitality of the Ugandan people. Everyone we encountered was warm and welcoming, and that kindness made the trip feel even more special.
We are very grateful to Patrick, Elias, and the Eco Adventure Safaris team for making this such a successful and memorable trip. We would highly recommend them to anyone considering a gorilla trekking experience in Uganda.
