Reviews for Gorilla safaris

The gorillas were mesmerising, watching chimps play was a world of excitement, having a resident hippo at a beautiful riverside camp was a dream. Riding through a herd of zebra, walking alongside giraffes of all ages. Plus a day full of elephants and witnessing a lioness with tiny playful cubs.read more

The whole trip was incredible, there was always something new and different each day. Overall the trip was fantastic, our host company was amazing at planning and organising the trip for us. Our guides were brilliant, friendly and helpful. We were mainly hoping to see animals including the Big 5 and the Gorillas and were incredibly lucky to see these and more. Highly recommended!read more

One of the best we have had - extremely well organised and a great guide/driver with incredible knowledge of birding and wildlife as well as the history, etc, of both Uganda and Rwanda.

Loves the food, lovely people, great landscapes, forest animals to view, nesting turtles […] elephants on the beach. The landscape of Loango Park. read more

Very good! 4 vs 5 stars is due to the large proportion of daylight spent driving, but that’s just inherent in choosing to do this itinerary in a short amount of time, which was really on us. Other than that it was a 5. Uganda was great, very scenic and welcoming people, wish we had been able to spend more time there. read more
