The Gorilla Safari CompanyReviews of gorillasafaricompany.com

We visited Uganda in early February and can recommend the Gorilla Safari Company unreservedly. They planned our itinerary and organised all our tours and transport. In retrospect, I wouldn't change a thing. We spent one night in Entebbe and then flew to Murchison Falls where we spent 2 nights at the Paraa Lodge, a lovely hotel on the Nile. We saw a lot of game, including leopards, and lions. Our tour included a boat trip down the Nile to Murchison Falls where we sighted many hippos, elephants and crocodiles. Our guide Ischmael was excellent. We then flew to Kibale Forest National Park where we had a wonderful sighting of chimpanzees. They were all on the ground near us and it was a marvellous experience. We then driven by an excellent new guide, Ahmed, to Ishasha in Queen Elizabeth Park and were fortunate to spot a tree climbing lion as well as buffalo and other game. We then drove to Bwindi where we stayed at the Mahogany Springs Lodge, a beautiful lodge in a wonderful setting. The highlight of the safari came the next day when we visited the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and encountered a gorilla family after about 1.5 hours walking. It was an amazing experience. We were quite close to them for an hour and they did not even seem to notice us. We flew back to Entebbe the following day. We have wanted to do this trip for many years, and we are really grateful to the Gorilla Safari Company for making it possible. We felt very safe and secure at all times and all our needs were catered for, including my numerous dietary issues. I would recommend this company to anyone.

I recently returned from a Safari in Uganda with my whole family using the gorilla safari company. We had the time of our lives. We were doing a dental mission trip to Uganda and wanted to include a safari. The entire trip was spectacular, and the Safari was wonderful.My Whole family was thrilled. I didn’t really expect to get that close to the animals or just see so many animals . Our guide Amos was friendly, informative, and really good at his job. We had no complaints, and this was probably the best trip I’ve ever taken, and I travel a lot. I Would highly level recommend this company and plan to use them again in the future.

Our trip with Gorilla Safari Company was fantastic. Our guide was great as were the accommodations. The company was so nice to work with in arranging our tour. We would highly recommend them and hope to do more with them in the future.

No problems, everything went smoothly with the booking. The gorillas and the lodge were spectacular. The hotel accommodation in the capital were sufficient for me. I would highly recommend it if you are considering a trip.

Donna and Amanda listened to us when we expressed our desires and needs about going on our first trip to Africa--and they delivered. We were especially grateful that they were able to add a gorilla trek to our tight itinerary. They were also great about being accessible for any questions and concerns. We will go to Africa again--and use their company.

I experienced more with this trip than I was expecting. There was never a dull moment. From the beginning to the end there was always something to see, hear, learn & experience & the photos I was exposed to were second to none which made coming home to share with family & friends priceless. The lodges were fantastic. I had a home away from home but in Uganda style which is something that I will treasure for a long time. The food was great with plenty of choices to make every meal a rewarding one. The people I encountered were friendly with warm smiles and caring personalities along with their professionalism which really made my stay special. Even walking around the lodges was a unique experience. Beauty everywhere. Our guide (Jude) was the best that I have ever been with. Jude is very special as he made sure that every moment was special for us along this adventure. His expertise, knowledge, experience, sense of humour and in our case mediator made our trip special and memorable. His driving skills regarding safety were the best I have ever encountered. Jude made sure we saw everything that we were hoping to see and experience. In short I will just say thank you for making this adventure very special and very gratifying. All of the excursions went as scheduled with no problems or any disappointments. Very well coordinated and planned with precision. To the Gorilla Safari Company ( Amanda ) I will give you a heartfelt thank you. I hope that I have the opportunity to travel with you again. Terry Gordon (Canada)

We enjoyed a superb 8 day safari in Uganda. The customer service prior to our trip was excellent - thankyou Amanda. Jude, our guide in Uganda, made sure the trip went smoothly. His driving and wildlife spotting skills were fabulous and he was patient and good humoured throughout. The animals (gorillas, chimps, tree climbing lions, hippos etc) were of course the highlight but we also enjoyed the community visits. The people of Uganda were genuinely welcoming. The accommodation was of a high standard throughout, with each lodge having its own distinctive style. The food exceeded our expectations, with all tastes catered for. We would certainly recommend The Gorilla Safari Company to anyone planning a trip to this part of Africa.

We went on a safari with the gorilla safari company in October and had an absolutely fabulous time. Our guides were so thoughtful, so knowledgeable, and attuned to the needs of the group. We loved the facilities that we stayed in and I would highly recommend the gorillas safari company!
