The Gorilla Safari CompanyReviews of gorillasafaricompany.com

We have done over 20 game safaris in multiple countries. This safari to the Serengeti to see the migration, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Rwanda Volcanos National Park walking with the Gorillas was the most exciting African adventure we have been on. It is impossible to describe the 4 crossings of the Mara river when crocodiles took a wildebeest, lions with 4 cubs at a kill, being in close contact with a family of 17 gorillas including a large Silverback, following families of elephant, leopard and cheetah sightings, hyena and vultures at a kill and so many different deer and buck that they were uncountable. The accommodations were all fantastic, the meals delicious to the point where we asked for recipes. Although we were concerned about COVID before we left even though we were vaccinated we had no concerns while we were there. Most of the rangers and guides were vaccinated and masks and social distancing was common especially in Rwanda. COVID eliminated the crowds so we often had camps almost to ourselves. The service we received from Amanda at Gorilla Safari Company was outstanding and we would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Africa as commonly shown on National Geographic videos.

Our trip to Tanzania and to Rwanda was fantastic thanks to Gorilla Safari Company! Every detail was taken care of and communication was fast and efficient. I also think our safari and gorilla experiences were special because of the guides that were arranged for us at each location. They were knowledgeable and their English skills were excellent.

After postponements and last minute flight cancellations, we finally got the trip off the ground! We had a terrific three weeks back and forth thru Uganda and South Africa . It was challenging with Covid restrictions and a semi informed bureaucracy. We were tested 4 times! But, we never missed a connection thanks to our constant back up with Amanda and her local compatriots. Kudos to all our support team, Jackie, Patrick David. You all are real pros, thanks for the memories! All the best Larry and Jan Porter

Our trip was 9 months ago but I still think about it all the time. Emma was everything you could want in a guide -- smart, funny, so knowledgable about the area. He made the trip, thank you Emma!

I absolutely love this company. I have booked two trips with them & the service I have received during booking has been second to none. They offer the most amazing advice and turn what can be a really daunting process into the easiest thing in the world. They literally handle everything (except your flights) - you just have to tell them what you want. I had done very little of my own research for either destination so the guidance and advice provided was well needed! Unfortunately, COVID has delayed the departure of my first trip, which was gutting. But the team handled this so well. They constantly kept me up to date as they were monitoring the situation and told me as soon as they felt it was time to move my trip. The email was kind and personal and I immediately rang Amanda who soothed and reassured we would get it all rearranged. As time went on & I watched friends painstakingly trying to rearrange trips I thanked god I had such a fantastic company doing all this for me. I trust Amanda & Donna completely and had complete faith they would sort it all for me (which they did..). We are now approaching the date of my second trip which is looking hopeful. Amanda is monitoring the situation and even let me push back my payment date in case there are any issues. I can’t explain the relief I feel knowing that I have Amanda on the case - the stress has been completely alleviated from me. I have heard friends talking of 3 hour wait times to speak to their holiday providers, but Amanda is always a quick phone call away for me & always friendly & helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this wonderful company & only hope the actual holiday continues the excellent service I have received thus far. Thank you Amanda & Donna

Due to the pandemic lockdown we were unable to go on our tour with the Gorilla Safari Company (Four days gorilla and golden monkey safari). However, Amanda, Donna-Marie and the rest of the team have kept us well informed of all our options and have worked hard to secure our bookings for next year. While it is impossible to tell what will happen over the coming months, based on their professional response to the pandemic I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Spent 8 days in Uganda on a Gorilla Safari arranged tour. We had an excellent time! A small hiccup arose on day 2 of our trip, but not only did Donna reply to my email and correct the problem immediately, she also arranged for complimentary massage and drinks the next day to make up for the problem! We were so impressed with the responsiveness of the UK staff, and thoroughly enjoyed spending the week with our guide in Uganda, Ismail. We recommend that if possible, you request him as your guide! We would definitely recommend Gorilla Safari Co. for an affordable option to help you experience and explore Uganda!

My wife and I had a wonderful time in Africa thanks to the Gorilla Safari Company. The trip was well planned and smoothly executed. Our guides, David in Tanzania and Eddie in Rwanda/Uganda, were friendly, helpful and always willing to answer questions. David is a great photographer and shared his amazing close-up shots of the Serengeti wildlife with us. The accommodations and food were excellent, and we got to see every animal we wanted except the elusive leopard. Seeing the mountain gorillas in Uganda was a highlight, but the whole trip was fantastic.
