14 day Uganda gorilla and chimp tour was tiring, overwhelming and outstanding all at once!

5 / 5 5 /5
We felt completely safe the whole time we were there (17 days). We walked around local towns without any safety concerns. We toured the whole country. We loved Kidepo National Park though it was quite a haul to get there! We are 64 and 70 years old. We hiked 10 miles up and down mountains in 5.5 hours to see the Mountain Gorillas which mind was blowing! Follow the tour guidelines though. We had long sleeves, hiking boots, long pants, leg gaiters and heavy gardening gloves which protected us. Others on the tour came in shorts, tennis shoes and no gloves and were miserable. You should be fit to undertake this tour. One person on our tour was not- got heat exhaustion and slowed the rest of the group way down until the guide made the decision to let the rest of us go on without that couple with the assist of one-armed ranger instead of two. All the national parks were outstanding. Our driver Jeck at Dav Safari was excellent and we felt completely safe with his driving and protection of us at
Read more all times. The only thing I would add was better response time by the Safari on email returns. We paid for our gorilla permits 6 months in advance. When it got to within 4 weeks of the trip, I emailed the safari and got no response for 10 days. When you pay out money in advance and don't get a response back to an email- I started to think that maybe the company went out of business. I did email again and got a response back in 24 hours which made me breathe a sigh of relief. Travel times listed on itinerary did not match real life traveling either. We spent much more time in the land cruiser than was listed on the itinerary due to road conditions and traffic so the tour companies really should put more travel time in the itinerary. It was a trip of a lifetime! Uganda is so beautiful!!

Bwindi is unique and gorilla trekking is a once in a lifetime experience. Interacting with the Batwa people was also amazing and highly recommended!

My husband and I did a 9 day tour of Uganda with Dav Safaris at the beginning of June. It exceeded our expectations. We arrived in Entebbe mid afternoon. I must say I found the whole process at the airport challenging and funny. After experiencing immigration queue jumpers, a whole family pushing in in-between my husband and myself, so I needed to wait for him to be processed before finding our bags, having our finger prints scanned and then trying to access our bags from the carousel where people blocked the carousel with at least 3 trolleys each, I thought to myself this is going to be an interesting trip. It also took me a couple of days to get used to seeing people (rangers, security guards and the like) walking around with machine guns. Just a heads up, you can only have 1 person at an ATM at a time. Well we started our trip with a visit to the rhino sanctuary, seeing so many rhinos up close was great and you could tell that the staff are very passionate about the conservation
Read more of and ultimately reintroducing them back into the wild of Uganda. With our tour covering Murchison Falls National Park, a boat ride on the Nile in Murchison National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, a boat ride in the Kazinga Channel , chimpanzees in Kibale Forest, gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Lake Bunyonyi, and Mabamba Swamp, we were able to see a large range of animals and birds. The animals seen included elephants, giraffe, rhinos, hyenas, lions, leapord, Jackson Heartbeast, crocodiles, Cape buffalo, Shoebill Stork, Thompson Gazelle, Civet, shell-less tortoise, warthogs, hippopotamuses, baboons, black and white Colobus monkeys, chameleon, chimpanzees and of course gorillas. Uganda is a bird lovers paradise, we saw at least 75 different bird species and we weren't even looking for birds. The people were warm, friendly and welcoming. They all seemed extremely happy and genuinely thankful that we chose their country to visit. The landscape of Uganda is gorgeous. Uganda has something for everyone and if you are only going to visit 1 country in Africa I encourage you to make that country Uganda.

We did a 13-night safari with Ngoni Safaris Uganda, and it was absolutely incredible. We trekked to see the gorillas and chimps (pictures and words can't describe what you feel and see). We walked with rhinos (with horns), white water rafting down the Nile, saw tree lions and travelled through the most beautiful scenic country. The Ugandan people are so friendly and at no time did we ever feel unsafe.
Uganda is a hidden gem and an absolute must see!

We had a brilliant time in Uganda. We toured the country visiting many of their national parks on a 2 week safari trip. The people made us feel very welcome, always friendly & helpful. The gorilla & chimpanzee trekking is a must when visiting Uganda. We visited a gorilla family of 10 & was well looked after by the guides & guards who located the gorillas & chimpanzees. We felt safe at all times whilst trekking. The food in Uganda was very nice, including the local dishes. A big shout out to Ngoni Safaris for arranging our trip & to James out tour guide that looked after us & made us feel very welcome & safe at all times. Would definitely visited Uganda again & 💯 recommend if you are looking for an adventure ;)

The nature of Uganda is beautiful. The animals, mountains, rain forests, rivers, lakes, savannas, and BIRDS! I was not a big birder before, but the sheer cariety and abundance of bids is spectacular *download the free App: Merlin Bird id
I booked with African Adventure Travellers and worked with Brenda to set a preliminary itinerary. Then my guide & driver, Huzaima, refined it and made my safari something special. It really was like going on a 15-day road trip with a friend. He knew what I wanted to see and do and made every effort to make it happen.
Uganda is also a special place for its people. Everyone, everywhere I went from the national parks to local markets were exceedingly open, warm, welcoming, and friendly. Everybody is so quick to smile and wave, say hello and strike up a conversation. Uganda is a magical place in my heart and I cannot wait to return!!!

I went with Kajie Safaries in July 2025.
The wheather was not as I had expected humid and hot but moderate temperature about 25-29 degrees celsius, only some few short rain showers.
Landscape was assoous: prairie in the middle, big lakes with lots of wildlife, waterfall of nile river, „impenetreble“ forrest , mountains near Rwanda
Most exciting different trackings to view wildlife eye to eye: rhinos, chimpansees, gorillas, golden monkeys, elefant. Was able to stand in a distance of 4- 20 meters away from those animals in Wildlife. Unforgetable
