Private 3 Day Gorilla Trekking Safari in Uganda

My guide Mustafa was amazing! As a solo female traveler I felt safe and taken care of. The accommodations for this journey were GREAT and relaxing. Which was much needed after long drives and treks. I highly recommend this once in a life time experience for anyone and definitely recommend booking with Native Travelers. Make sure to ask for Mustafa as your guide.

I went for 5 day Trip with Native Africa Tours from 08-Sep to 12-Sep starting from Entebbe Airport covering Equator, Lake Mburo National Park, Bwindi Gorilla ???? Trek, Lake Bunyoni and Kazinga Channel before dropping us back in Entebbe Airport. Our Guide Brian was very helpful in every stage. Chris owner of the company is prompt in response despite being sick ????. They arranged stay in Mpogo Lodge near Mbarara for 2 days, Gorilla ???? Havens Lodge in Bwindi and Rock Resort in Lake Bunyoni. Mpogo lodge and Rock Resport are perfect mid range choices. Gorilla ???? Havens seems to be between Budget and Mid Range - It seems they renovated a budget lodge, but still room size and features are far below mid range. When I had water issues with Mpogo Lodge on day 1, I informed our guide Brian who arranged for better alternate room on same lodge for day 4 stay. Food ???? is very good in all places. Brian stopped on many places so that I can click beautiful photos. We applied for Gorilla ???? trekking permit in Rushaga sector, but got the same in Nkuringo sector. Trek was good with medium challenging level. Brian helped to arrange for better Gorilla ???? group. In Kazinga Channel I went for public shared boating ???? I feel they covered very limited area during those 2 hours. This is one aspect I think improvement is required as they deliberately drive slowly in last few minutes. I highly recommend Native Africa Tours specially inform Chris to allot Brian as Guide for your memorable experience.

I had a truly unforgettable experience with Native African Tours, and I can’t recommend them enough. From the very beginning, it was clear that this is a locally based company that genuinely cares about their clients. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and constant communication made me feel confident and supported throughout the entire process. Despite giving them very short notice, they went above and beyond to arrange a wonderful trekking excursion to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Getting gorilla permits on such short notice is no small feat, but they made it happen—and the result was a trip I’ll never forget. Moses deserves special recognition—he managed all the logistics seamlessly and kept in close contact with me every step of the way, always making sure everything was in place and adapting to my needs with genuine care. And Chris, my guide, was simply outstanding. Warm, knowledgeable, and full of good energy—he made the trek not just smooth, but truly special. The lodges we stayed throughout the trip exceeded everything I had in mind: incredible views and the nicest and warmest service. If you're planning a visit to Uganda, you can trust Native African Tours to arrange the best trip you can have. They’re passionate, reliable, and deeply committed to sharing the beauty of their country in the most authentic and meaningful way. And you will be supporting local businesses. Thank you, Moses and Chris, for showing me a side of Uganda I’ll always carry with me.
