    My friend and I had a memorable experience, we had a personal driver named Eddie who made us feel safe, took care of us on all the tours and went above and beyond to help us see all the wildlife, and made our road trip adventures fun! Highly recommend this tour and upgrade to the 4 star accommodations. I do recommend engaging early on with Tour Radar if you have an early morning flight arrival to make pick up arrangements, and bring Uganda Shillings, most places only take cash.

    Eddie at Friendly Gorillas made my life long dreams of experiencing Uganda and sitting with Silverback Gorillas come true, Overall Friendly Gorillas Tour group did a very good job of setting up my amazing weeklong adventure in Uganda for the Gorilla trek and Safari. There were some unforseen challenges that came up with individual activities that my guide Eddie went above and beyond to correct. As well as the tour groups manager Frank who advocated to make sure I was happy in the end. I highly recommend this tour group to make memories come true.

    We booked the 5 days Gorilla Trekking Tour in Uganda with Friendly Gorillas and it was truely an incredible experience. Frank and Anthony were very helpful from the beginning, providing us with all the information needed. But Noah, our tour guide, went the extra mile, to make it an unforgettable and amazing trip. Without him, i am sure, it wouldn‘t have been such an awesome experience. We saw and learnt a lot about Uganda, its wildlife and its people and we are thankful for this opportunity.

    Trip to Uganda using Tour Radar was fantastic. Stayed at quality hotels and had better experience than others who paid double (you all go to same National Parks). Our guide through Friendly Gorillas Safaris was knowledgeable friendly and catered our experience to our requests. I

    WOW! Awesome service for my trip to trek chimpanzees and Mountain Gorillas in Uganda. My tour was smoothly organized and I felt safe and comfortable the entire 5-days. My private tour guide, through Friendly Gorillas Safaris, was Mr. Tonny Kasiro. Tonny was a pleasure to spend the tour with. He was an expert driver of the jeep --through all of the "back massage" roads and mud, day and night! He was also very knowledgeable on all things during the trip, knew many of the locals throughout the villages were we stopped at for lunch and breaks, and he was on time for ALL of our daily schedules. I vote that Tonny be given a RAISE$$$ for his meticulous hard work, dedication, excellent customer service, brilliant attitude, and professionalism! I will definitely take another trip with Tour Radar because of the fantastic trip I experienced.

    I had a great trip with Friendly Gorillas, the itinerary was well thought-out and their price for a single traveler was very reasonable, in the end it was very close to what it would have cost to rent a truck and self-drive. Communication was always prompt and thorough. We packed a lot into 5 days and were able to adapt to my long inbound flight delay without any headaches. The gorilla and chimp trekking were both great, and the boat trip was the best of its kind that I've done in many trips throughout Africa. The accommodation was considerably better than I expected at every stop. Tonny was a great guide, he knew all the tricks and got me into the best gorilla trekking group, and he went way out of his way to find me tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth NP, which I appreciated. I'm very happy with my choice and would recommend this tour and company to a friend.
