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.

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.I have traveled all over the world, and visiting the gorillas ranks as one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

I have traveled all over the world, and visiting the gorillas ranks as one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Our driver/guide Karim was extremely knowledgeable. My mistake was in not heeding his advice to use wooden walking sticks rather than my titanium ones. Those snapped in the first 10 minutes in the jungle. Fortunately, I did hire a porter at Karim's suggestion, and he helped me hike in the steep, dense jungle. We also went whitewater rafting on the White Nile -- quite exhilarating. I only wish we made plans to spend more time at serene Lake Bunyonyi.It is a wonderful experience and enjoyed a lot 😊 . Even you can have more fun and joy. More you travel and more you gather the information.

Me and my friend decided to utilize long weekend just a week prior and she suggested to go to Uganda for gorilla trekking. Quick search online for the best provider and tour operator and we were convinced with excellent reviews and program that we dreamed off provided by Home to Africa. They haven't disappointed a bit! Quick professional response with the accurate questions to tailor make our trip up to our expectations. Even last minute change of lodges due to full capacity was the lucky one and the changed location was breath taking. We asked for knowledgeable and funny tour guide to accompany us these 3 days. Even this request was attended above expectation. Benon is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and the friendship strike right upon arrival. Company offered pick up from airport and drop of to our hotel in Entebbe that was in fact out of the agreed tour package. And Benon waited in the hotel till we checked in and he left only when sure that we are safe. Great job and big thank you to all team, especially Benon, Ywone and Elias. We will come back!We just finished our 3 day gorilla trekking with our guide William.

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!
