    I can’t recommend this company enough! Anthony and Brenda went above and beyond to ensure we had the trip of a lifetime. Every part of the experience, from thrilling activities like river rafting and gorilla treks to the stunning accommodations and fantastic food, was extraordinary. What truly made this trip special was our guide, Eddie—knowledgeable, passionate, and incredibly attentive to our group's needs. His care and enthusiasm made the adventure feel personal and unforgettable. The warmth and hospitality of everyone we met in Uganda were indescribable. This wasn’t just a vacation; it was a life-changing experience. Thank you, Anthony, Brenda, and Eddie, for making it so memorable!

    I just completed this amazing 4 day trip across major attractions in Uganda. The tour was well organised and the sights exceeded my expectations! Right from the booking process, it was very smooth. I had several questions, and also needed to customise the start and end points based on my overall plan. I got full clarity and support from Anthony with these and could book the tour with the peace of mind that it covers what I wanted. The sights we visited speak for themselves and provide amazing look into the wildlife. The chimp and gorilla tracking are absolutely thrilling experience. They were way better than I could have expected. The accommodations during the tour were greatly located and well maintained. They provided the perfect retreat after the activities of the day. It is a well planned itinerary and packs a lot within 4 days! Loved every moment of the trip and taking back great memories from Uganda! Thank you Friendly Gorilla Safari for the amazing time!

    Friendly Gorillas helped make my Uganda experience unforgettable. My guide was fantastic. Knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. The itinerary was perfectly spaced and allowed plenty of time to do and see everything I wanted to see. From Queen Elizabeth National Park, to the gorillas, and beyond, I was truly able to appreciate the beauty of Uganda.
