3 Days Bwindi Gorilla Trekking tour

We had an amazing experience with East African Jungle Safaris. We booked a gorilla and chimpanzee trekking tour. Everything was well organized and our guide, Gerald, did great work. Gerald made sure we had the best experience and was a knowledgeable guide. We would book again with this company.

I didn't book my gorilla permit early enough. Other travel agencies just offered me other dates, while African Jungle Safaris went above and beyond to get me the permit for the specific date I wanted. Communication was great as they always responded to my inquiries with as much details as needed, the same day they received my emails. The service was beyond expectations: the driver couldn't be more accommodating, helpful, patient and friendly. One of those who answered your questions and had a friendly chat when the guest felt like it, and who could leave you to your thoughts when you needed silence: just perfect, especially for a female solo-traveler. The lodge was amazing, great service, sparkling clean, very good food, accommodation in a beautiful and quiet setting. The tracking went very good and I was lucky to see al the gorilla family members together, after 90 minutes hike. They were kind enough to drop me off at a more convenient place than the one agreed upon before arrival, which saved me a lot of hassles with public transport. The agent I booked through, Fred, has always been extremely helpful and I would definitely recommend him and the company, if you want your experience to be hassle free while you are still in control of all details.

First of all we would like to thank Ronald for the most wonderful trip! We arrived in Kigali where we were picked up before driving to Bwindi for our first nights stay. The drive was beautiful and the lodge -Rushaga Gorilla Havens- was outstanding! The views were incredible and the staff extremely friendly and accommodating. The next day we drove 20 minutes to start our Trek to see the gorillas. And what an amazing experience it was! The organisation was extremely professional and the guides were very knowledgeable. You can tell they are also very passionate about what they do! Ronald then took us on a great drive to Lake Bunyonyi. We had a fantastic canoe ride along the river just before sunset. Next, a long but a beautiful drive to Queen Elizabeth Park. The Bush Lodge was outstanding. The staff was very friendly, the accommodation amazing and the food was the best we had! We took a boat ride along the river to see the hippos which were incredible. Our guide was great at pointing out all the birds! Which were great. We saw a crocodile too! Day 3 of our adventure took us to the chimpanzee trekking about 40 minutes from the lodge. We spent 4 ours in the forest tracking the chimps! It was so much fun and we were lucky enough to see a whole family- babies included. We were so impressed with the trip- the agenda, our amazing guide Ronald, the lodges and the food. We can’t thank you enough for truly making our holiday special! We didn’t want to leave. Until next time!
