A beautiful memories I will always carry in my hearts. - The journey was challenging, but every step was worth it for this unforgettable encounter with nature’s giants. My 3-day gorilla trekking adventure in Uganda was nothing short of magical. Trekking through lush, mist-covered forests, we followed the calls of birds and the rustle of leaves until we finally stood face-to-face with a gentle mountain gorilla family. Watching their playful young and wise silverback in their natural habitat was a humbling, once-in-a-lifetime moment. Every moment I felt excited and thrilled.

Our dreams have become reality in Uganda. - Our 3-day gorilla trekking trip in Uganda was One of the greatest experiences in life. Hiking through the dense Bwindi Forest, slipping through mud and vines, we finally came face-to-face with a majestic gorilla family. That quiet moment-locking eyes with a silverback-was something words can’t capture. We laughed, struggled, and shared a wild adventure that bonded us deeper as friends. Uganda gave us more than just a trek - it gave us memories we’ll talk about forever. We landed in Entebbe and took a scenic route towards the highlands. Every turn of the road revealed lush hills, banana plantations, and friendly locals waving from roadside villages. When we finally reached our lodge near Bwindi, the mountain air felt so fresh it almost erased the exhaustion of travel. We spent the evening around a campfire, sharing laughs and imagining what the trek would be like. The anticipation was real.

Just Awesome 💯 Experience. - My Uganda safari was a superb time in my life with Northern Fox Adventures. Trekking 3 day through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, I finally came face-to-face with a family of mountain gorillas-it was an emotional and surreal moment. Watching them so close in their natural habitat felt magical. Later, a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel brought us up-close with hippos, elephants, and countless birds. Every moment felt like a deep connection with nature. Uganda truly gave me memories for a lifetime.

We experienced a different rhythm of life through this trip. - We had a great time in Uganda for 3 days gorilla trekking. We landed in Entebbe and took a scenic drive to Bwindi. The journey itself was an adventure-winding roads, lush green landscapes, and warm local smiles all the way. We arrived at our lodge nestled on the edge of the forest, where we could already hear distant calls of birds and monkeys. The evening was spent relaxing and mentally preparing for the big trek. We watched in silence, hearts pounding, as a silverback kept a protective eye while the young ones played nearby. That one hour with them felt surreal. It wasn’t just a wildlife experience; it was deeply emotional and spiritual. We watched in silence, hearts pounding, as a silverback kept a protective eye while the young ones played nearby.

Their music, stories, and resilience gave us a deeper appreciation for Uganda’s rich cultural heritage. We left with full hearts and endless stories to tell.

Amazing 3 days gorilla trekking experience. - Our family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 trip through Northern Fox Adventures was fantastic. Traveling with kids can be tricky, but they made it so simple and comfortable. The hotels were family-friendly, the daily plans weren’t rushed, and the team gave us great advice for traveling with little ones. Everyone had fun, and we made amazing memories without stress or confusion. The best part? We felt supported every day of the trip. They were just a call away whenever we had a question👌. It’s rare to find such caring service these days. We’ll be traveling with them again without a doubt👍

Best gorilla trucking experience. - Our 3 day gorilla trekking was fantastic experience in Uganda. Traveling to Uganda with a group of friends was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made and choosing Northern Fox Adventure made the trip absolutely memorable. We we arrived, everything was incredibly well-organized. The team greeted us warmly and made us feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed. Our guide was a true gem- friendly, knowledgeable, and full of energy. He knew how to keep the group engaged, whether we were tracking Gorilla. We especially appreciated how Northern Fox chose places that were locally owned and eco-friendly. They made everything stress-free, fun, and truly memorable.

Exceptional! - From booking to drop off the entire package was amazing. Faruk was a kind soul and a wealth of information. It was a tour right from the pick up in Entebee. Faruk sharing knowledge of the lands and people. We made stops along the way, and stops on the way back. cultural activities. Truly was amazing and the gorilla trekking, outstanding! I can’t say enough good things about the tour and hotels and just the overall experience. Thank you Eddie and Faruk! ❤️

CAUTION - SCAM - I booked a gorilla trek in Uganda on December 2024, through Northern Fox Adventures. A few weeks later, I received a mail that another customer has been defrauded in the meantime. 'Eddie' has been stalling ever since, making excuses, and telling me I had nothing to worry about. Communication was a disaster. Three days before the scheduled tour in March, he finally canceled. I'm still waiting for the $800 I paid. The number for communication with Eddie / Northern Fox Adventures was +256 704 045531. Be careful.

Deceptive, misleading & took $830 from me - I believe I've been scammed by 'Eddie', this tour operator. He took the $830 I sent to him for the gorilla permit (+fees) and failed to pay the park authorities, forcing me to pay another $800 at the park, or face a 10hr drive back to Kampala empty-handed. He told me I was going to be on a group tour, but I was on my own. He's failed to provide timely communication and has been deceptive. STEER CLEAR and avoid someone called Eddie offering tours from Kampala.
