25 Gorillas safaris and holidays. One of the most incredible wildlife experiences ever – gorilla safaris are a once in a lifetime opportunity. To see these huge, endangered primates in their natural environment can often be very humbling. From the mountain gorillas in Virunga Mountains to lowland gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, these holidays offer the best gorilla experiences in Uganda and Rwanda. All gorilla safari holidays require a gorilla permit which funds anti-poaching patrols and supports gorilla conservation.

A very memorable trip in a beautiful country. The Ugandan people are very welcoming and the wildlife is spectacular.
(more)Most memorbale was almost walking into a zebra on my way to the toilet one night! The camping was challenging for me, but it was worth it to hear animals at night. 5 stars. (more)The most exciting part was the first glimpse of gorillas after 4 hours of trekking though the jungle....Amazing 10/10. (more)This was the trip of a lifetime and more than fulfilled all of my hopes for it...the first moment that I saw the gorillas. This moment will stand out in my memory as one of the great moments of my life. I was moved to tears. (more)THE best thing I have ever done, can't wait to go back. The operator did absolutely everything to make this trip run to the best. Very well organised, we all felt very secure and well looked after.
(more)The whole of our week in Rwanda was extraordinary and memorable... and we lost our hearts to this small and extremely beautiful country. We had two days gorilla tracking which were wonderful - not least because of the great organisation and knowledge of the local guides and trackers. (more)It was all fantastic. Of course one of the highlights was coming face to face with the beautiful mountain gorilla. (more)Excellent! A once in a lifetime and very unique experience... Getting so close to chimps and a silverback gorilla - amazing! (more)We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
