Trip of a lifetime adventure. I can strongly recommend The Gorilla Safari Company for putting our adventure together and helping us check off another adventure on our bucket list. My friend and I were extremely lucky to encounter one of the largest groups of gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest after only trekking for about 30-40 minutes. Loved staying at Mahogany Lodge as the service, staff and food were excellent. This was an experience we will never forget.

I loved this trip more than anything. It was a dream of mine to visit the mountain gorillas of Uganda and I did just that. How marvelous it was to find our assigned family of gorillas within 15 minutes of entering the forest. It was a privilege to be amongst these magnificent creatures and the bonus was seeing the silverback, leader of the family, and observing him closely, as he went about his morning activities. Everything about this one week journey worked beautifully for me. All of the animals were exquisite. The accommodations (the lodges) and the meals were great. Our guide, Jude, had a difficult job, driving us to our different destinations and he did it so well. If you want adventure and excitement and a jam packed week of activity, this is the trip one should consider. It's so much more than I ever expected it to be and the terrific thing is that everything was well planned out ahead of time. This made the trip run very smoothly. I highly recommend this safari vacation without any hesitation.

We have never experienced any company or trip as amazing as the Gorilla Safari Company! We have traveled all over the world & this was by far the most organized, extraordinary trip we have Made! The Silverback lodge was amazing, the staff and food over a 5 star! The cow ceremony they planned at a Rwanda village was an added surprise! The Gorilla Trek was fabulous and we experienced more than we could have imagined! The deluxe tent in Serengeti with the bathtub & fireplace was the topping to an amazing Safari! We can’t recommend this company enough, the staff, food, lodging and extra amenities were over the top!

Absolutely loved the trip. From the moment I contacted the Gorilla Safari Company I knew it would be a great trip. Every email I sent, I got a response immediately and even when we set up a phone call, it was prompt. All my questions were answered. Leaving the US I felt confident in my upcoming travels. I would definitely recommend using this company. Sincerely, Sarah Baumann

I can’t rate Donna and Amanda enough. They helped me plan the most incredible 2 weeks in east Africa. They were so easy to contact and had loads of options for me. They sent across all the information I could possibly need prior to the trip and it honestly was invaluable. It even came in useful for other travellers I met that didn’t get half of the information I had from their travel agents. The first week in Tanzania was with ranger safaris. Our guide was incredible and we saw the big 5. All accommodation was excellent and so was the food. It was very well organised and really nice to get her to know all the people we shared our drives with. It was a good mix of ages and nationalities. The gorilla safari in Uganda was out of this world. Staying with ride for a woman was also a highlight. Even if you don’t stay with them I would recommend you visit. It’s a great cause and support for the local community. If you’re looking to buy gifts I’d wait until you visit their shop. You won’t regret it.

We had a fabulous experience in Rwanda and Uganda. Our guide was great and very organized. This made for a perfect safari and vacation!!!

amazing trip. everything was perfectly organized and thought of before we landed. highly recommend.

I have never reviewed a travel company before, but my experience with Gorilla Safari Company was so exceptional, I felt it was necessary to share! From the first contact with Donna for a general enquiry, to a custom tailored safari and gorilla experience for me and my mum, this company was AMAZING. Kate was incredibly knowledgeable and 100% committed to ensuring we had the best experience. She was gracious and patient when we had changes in plans due to a family emergency, and ensured we had a once in a lifetime experience. I have traveled through dozens of countries, and used many many agencies, and I could not recommend anyone more highly than Gorilla Safari Company, and Kate in particular!
