Truly once in a lifetime experience - 3 of us friends did the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Gorilla Trekking in Jan this year, it was absolutely amazing and once in a lifetime experience for me. The company is very easy to deal with and also very responsive, we had Gunn as our driver/guide. His driving skill is almost second to none, especially on those bumpy road; and he was always ready to give you a smile, we had so much fun together. Can't recommend the company and him high enough!!

3 Day tour to see gorillas in Uganda - Great short whirlwind trip to see the gorillas with my guide Shafik. An absolute bucket list experience. There are some very long drives on this trip, personally I didn't mind this as I really enjoyed seeing the country by road and seeing the different regions of Uganda (Shafik even stopped to buy me a giant pineapple at a roadside stand). The 4x4 was super comfortable, food was great and loved the accommodation. Thanks so much Home to Africa tours!

Dream vacation - We just finished our 3 day gorilla trekking with our guide William. He really went above and beyond to teach us all about the national parks, the animals, the culture and most importantly he made us feel safe! We stopped for local food along the way (plus all of my bathroom breaks lol) and his driving was … great! Hahah not what we’re used to but he knows what he’s doing! It was so much fun getting to know him, and getting to know what Uganda is about. The tour was amazing. There is nothing like seeing the gorillas face to face in their natural habitat. Truly a remarkable experience. The accommodations were amazing and everyone we met along the way was so kind. I highly recommend this tour!

Very professional, wonderful experience! Exceeded expectations. - My friend and I just got back from a month-long trip around East Africa which culminated in a 3-day tour to the Bwindi Forest. It completely exceeded expectations. Hedmond - who was our main point of contact over email during the booking phase and throughout - was always very prompt and communicative! We arranged a pickup from Kigali, a driver change at the Rwanda/Uganda land border, and a dropoff at the Entebbe airport... and every leg of the journey was executed so professionally and without a hitch! First: our driver who picked us up in Kigali to take us to the border was wonderful. He was so kind and flexible and communicative and he shared with us a fascinating life story. Moreover, he (and Hedmond) were super helpful by making an hour-long detour to the Kigali Airport to pick up my previously confiscated drone [PSA: they're not allowed in Rwanda -- even if you're not planning to use them in Rwanda]. Their flexibility in helping us in that situation was so, so appreciated and so kind. Then, we were picked up at the Uganda land border by Brian who was our wonderful driver in Uganda. Brian was so funny, charismatic, and kind. And a great driver too - especially on those multiple, long drives across the country. The Gorilla Trekking was a very positive experience. Although the permits are incredibly expensive, my friend and I really enjoyed the experience and the two locations we stayed at -- the Broadbill Forest Camp, and the Lake Bunyonyi Eco Resort -- both completely exceeded our lodging expectations. Thank you for organizing a great tour! :) We are very appreciative!

Ask for Danny - Ask for Danny Mugabo. He is more than a guide. Knowledgable, enthusiastic, impeccable manners, and a genuine interest in you, your, comfort, and satisfaction. Too many guides are tired or jaded. Not this one. He will make a memorable visit even better.

Amazing experience - 3 day Gorilla Trek tour - We recently did the 3 day Gorilla Trekking tour from Entebbe. Our guide was Buffalo (Balaam) and we absolutely loved him ! He kept us entertained on the long drive from Entebbe to Bwindi and back again. His knowledge of animals and birds was amazing. The drive is a big one from Entebbe, but once you get to Bwindi it is so worth it. The Broadbill lodge is great - an off the grid hotel perched on the edge of the forest. On the second day you start early to do a ranger briefing and then in small groups head off to locate your assigned gorilla family. The hike is no joke, through dense jungle and steep, but once you get to the Gorillas and get to spend the 1 hour in their presence, you forget how hard it was, until you have to head back (lol). The last night of the tour we stayed at Lake Bunyonyi, and again it was beautiful. I can not fault anything on this 3 day tour and would highly recommend Home to Africa.

Unforgettable Experience! - This 3-day gorilla tracking & trekking experience in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is probably the greatest wildlife encounter I’ve ever had. It’s a short itinerary but everything was executed well, from pickup in Entebbe, to the lodging, the food, and of course, the gorilla trek. The booking process for this was smooth & all my inquiries were clearly answered promptly, including changing my drop-off location so that instead of going back to Entebbe, that I cross the border & be dropped off in Kigali, Rwanda instead. Once booked, all the information I needed for this trip was given to me upfront, which I really appreciated. The highlight, of course, was seeing wild mountain gorillas up close in their natural habitat, which was a strenuous trek, but one hell of an adventure! My guide, Benon, drove us 10hrs south from Entebbe, crossing the equator in Uganda, to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. I stayed at a remote camp inside Bwindi at 2350m ASL, where my tent was overlooking the forest. Benon was really good at prepping me the night before at dinner about what to expect for the next day’s gorilla tracking, especially what I needed to wear & bring, including plenty of water & food. There are different sectors within Bwindi where we were allowed to trek, some harder than others. Benon picked a sector for me, then handed me off to the rangers who guided each of their groups into the forest. Knowing how tough the trek is, the rangers gave everyone wooden trekking poles, which helped a lot. Bwindi’s terrain is such that we started our trek on high ground, descending steeply into the forest valley floor. My knees & thighs were absolutely aching as we hiked down the 60deg slopes nonstop for about an hour. Sometimes if you're lucky, you don't have to trek far to see them; they'd be 15 min away. But not for us. We had to work hard to see them. Once we saw the gorillas, we put our face masks on & spent an hour watching them, the max limit we were allowed. I saw 6 gorillas in this family, incl. the big man himself, along with the mom, the baby, and a couple of others climbing down the trees. After our time with the gorillas, we began the arduous climb up the steep slopes of the rainforest. It's a once in a lifetime experience, & I’m grateful for it. After Bwindi, we headed to Lake Bunyonyi to relax & where I spent the night… such a beautiful & peaceful place to unwind after a day of strenuous trekking. I was so glad this was part of my itinerary! This trip was so well worth it, & I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Uganda! Thank you Home to Africa for such a great itinerary and my guide, Benon, for taking care of me throughout my trip.

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - Suppose you are still on the fence about deciding whether or not to participate in the 3-Day Tour to Uganda. I will recommend you do. I had a great once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be in the presence of Gorillas in their natural habitat. Lake Bunyonyi Eco Resort is stunning and a great place to relax after gorilla trekking. My tour guide, Nelson, was friendly, helpful, and very informative.

Reliable company - I did my trip on July 20th and my guide Zedius received me warmly and punctually at the airport. we drove straight to the national park. zedius drove quickly but very safely. I felt in good hands with him. the tour was pleasant and everything worked. After my trip, my tour guide even helped me find accommodation in Kampala and Entebbe and even showed me the city of Kampala a little on his own. I can only recommend the company and the guide zedius.

An Unforgettable Odyssey Through the Heart of Uganda - There are experiences in life that create an indelible mark on your memory, forever altering your perspective of the world. The three-day tour of Uganda, gorilla trekking through the enchanting Bwindi forest, is unequivocally one such journey that transcends your typical holiday. It's more than just an adventure, it's a profound, immersive learning experience that takes you straight into the heart of Africa’s breathtaking natural beauty. Right from the get-go, my host and driver, Balammu, an exemplary embodiment of knowledge, warmth, and hospitality, truly made the trip an extraordinary experience. His passionate narratives about Uganda's vibrant history, culture, flora, and fauna were as riveting as the wildlife we were journeying to see. As we ventured deeper into the lush Bwindi forest, Balammu guided us with the deftness and ease of someone with a deep-rooted connection to the land. Each turn brought with it the promise of a new discovery, and each day was filled with anticipation of what was to come. Seeing the mighty gorillas in their natural habitat was a truly humbling experience. They moved with a quiet dignity that was both awe-inspiring and a potent reminder of the delicate balance that binds all living things together. To witness these magnificent creatures up close was a privilege, a breathtaking spectacle that filled me with a sense of wonder and respect. However, the tour was not just about gorilla trekking. The plethora of knowledge that Balammu imparted about the diverse array of flora and fauna we encountered was equally fascinating. His detailed explanations gave us a new appreciation for the intricate beauty of the ecosystem, enriching our understanding of this mesmerizing wilderness. The nights spent under the vast Ugandan sky, peppered with stars, were nothing short of magical. Balammu's campfire stories about the local folklore and history further deepened our connection with this extraordinary place, transforming it from a tourist destination into a home away from home. I cannot speak highly enough of this trip. The exceptional organization, Balammu’s extensive knowledge, coupled with his infectious enthusiasm, the majestic wildlife encounters, the jaw-dropping landscapes, and the immersion in Uganda's rich and diverse culture, all combined to create a truly transformative journey. For anyone contemplating a unique and awe-inspiring adventure, this gorilla trekking tour through Uganda's Bwindi forest is a must. It's not just a tour, but an epic journey of discovery, learning, and profound experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime. In the great theater of nature, this journey deserves standing ovation.
