I had an amazing 4 day trip , with magical gorillas. The driver muzwhei was amazing from start to finish, ensuring a safe journey, amazing conversation and knowledge that he shared, and ensuring I saw things I enjoyed along the way ! The lodgings were amazing and the treks with both the gorillas and golden monkey were a once in a lifetime opportunity ! I also participated in the additional options of the batwya people and boat cruise on lake bunyonyi which were both great !  Consider magical gorillas of your in need of a trek or safari !

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Magical Gorilla Adventures from start to finish. The booking process was straightforward, all of our queries were answered promptly, and communication throughout was excellent. Our driver, Innocent, was outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had the best possible experience. Overall, it was a truly memorable trip, and we would highly recommend Magical Gorilla Adventures to anyone looking for a seamless and well-organised adventure. Thank you for a fabulous experience!

Wir haben eine 9 tägige „best of Uganda“ Safari mit Magical Gorilla Adventures gebucht. Eines vorweg: Diese Reise mit Magical Gorillas zu buchen war die absolut beste Entscheidung die wir treffen konnten. Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld lief hauptsächlich per WhatsApp ab. Kolo war immer, wirklich immer ansprechbar und hat alle Fragen unverzüglich beantwortet. Unsere anfänglichen Bedenken wegen der Permits für die Schimpansen und Gorillas waren total unbegründet. Kolo hat uns unverzüglich nach Erhalt der Permits Bilder zukommen lassen auf denen man die Dokumente erkennen konnte… es lief alles reibungslos! Auch der Reiseablauf, sowie Änderungen bezüglich der Lodges wurden nach unseren Vorstellungen innerhalb von kürzester Zeit angepasst und erledigt - sehr professionell. Das ist auch das Stichwort - die Kommunikation im Vorfeld, sowie die Reise selbst wurde absolut professionell geplant und durchgeführt. Wir hatten schon einige Safaris in Afrika erleben dürfen und kennen  daher die ein oder andere „Stolperfalle“ bei der Planung und Durchführung. Aber unsere 9 Tage in Uganda waren die schönsten und entspanntesten Tage die wir bisher in Afrika verbracht haben. Den größten Anteil dazu beigetragen hat unser Guide Robert! Robert war vom ersten Tag an, bis zu dem Moment wo wir schweren Herzens getrennte Wege gehen mussten, unglaublich engagiert und professionell. Durch ihn haben wir so viel über Uganda gelernt. Nicht nur über die Tierwelt, (die nebenbei erwähnt spektakulär ist) sondern auch über Land und Leute konnte uns Robert so viel erzählen.  Man hat ihm angemerkt dass er diesen Job schon länger macht, denn er hat genau gewusst wann es mal Zeit für sein Input war, aber auch wann es an der Zeit für eine Verschnaufpause ist! Er hat sich für uns Zeit genommen und ist immer wieder auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Ihm war kein Weg zu weit für uns - GENAUSO haben wir uns unseren Guide im Vorfeld vorgestellt und gewünscht! - Robert war für uns ein absoluter Glücksgriff. Wir können „Magical Gorilla Adventures“ und vor allem Robert als Guide UNEINGESCHRÄNKT weiterempfehlen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Unser Rat: schaut euch alle dieses wunderschöne Land und seine Schätze (dazu zählen auch die Menschen) an. Ihr werdet es nicht bereuen. Happy Travels

I recently traveled to Uganda with Magical Gorillas, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Our tour guides, Eddie and Collins, were exceptional. They were knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and always went the extra mile to ensure everything ran smoothly. The transportation was comfortable throughout the trip, and the drivers were safe and reliable, which made the long drives between destinations very enjoyable. The tour was delivered exactly as outlined in the itinerary, with no unexpected changes or hidden costs. Everything was well organized, and the accommodations exceeded our expectations. The lodges were of a very high standard, and the food at each location was excellent. The highlights of the trip were undoubtedly the chimpanzee and mountain gorilla trekking experiences, both of which were unforgettable. The boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel was another standout, offering incredible wildlife viewing in a beautiful setting. Overall, I would highly recommend Magical Gorillas to anyone considering a safari or wildlife adventure in Uganda. They delivered a seamless, high-quality experience that exceeded our expectations.

The only bad thing about our trip with Eddie was that it was only two days and not longer. But boy, did we have a great time on those two days! Magical Gorilla Adventures chose an idyllic lodge for us, Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge, and a wonderful restaurant for lunch on our second day, the Bird's Nest. We enjoyed the Batwa Cultural Walk and the boat trip on Lake Bonyonyi very much. Needless to say, the highlight of our trip was the time we spent with the gorilla family. They put on a great show for us, especially the baby. A dream come true! Thank you, Magical Gorilla Adventures, for this truly magical experience. And thank you so much, Eddie, for not only providing us with the smoothest trip, but also for being so friendly and funny and for making the car rides very interesting and enjoyable!

If you go to Uganda and want a truly magical adventure, I highly recommend booking with magical gorilla adventures. Our trip was exactly that - magical. We were always very well looked after and we felt safe at all times. All our wishes were made true and even more. This has easily been the best and most memorable trip of my life so far. Thank you!

During our journey through East Africa (specifically Rwanda), we also wanted to see the gorillas. We decided in advance to visit the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, partly because it is located not far from Kigali, but also because we were keen to make a side trip into Uganda. Having completed our tour of Rwanda as self-drivers, we decided to hire a professional tour operator for the trip to Bwindi—someone familiar with local conditions who would allow us to focus on enjoying the region's highlights rather than on the logistics. We compared various providers for this purpose and ultimately chose Magical Gorilla Adventures. Looking back, we can say that this was an excellent decision. Communication with their team was seamless via WhatsApp. It was important to us to include a visit to the local Batwa community alongside the gorilla trekking—a request that was immediately granted. Furthermore, they even added a boat trip on Lake Bunyonyi to the itinerary. From the very first day of the trip, everything ran flawlessly. Our driver and guide, Eddie, picked us up at our hotel in Kigali and drove us across the border to our (truly stunning) lodge near the Bwindi Forest. The tour of the Batwa community, the gorilla trekking the following morning, the boat trip, and finally the return journey to Kigali were all perfectly organized; we did not have to worry about a single thing—neither in advance nor once we were on site. These were incomparably beautiful days in Uganda—highlighted, of course, by the opportunity to see the mountain gorillas—and both the organization by Magical Gorilla Adventures and Eddie’s friendly, helpful demeanor were of the very highest standard. We look forward to traveling to this wonderful region again someday, and when we do, we will certainly choose Magical Gorilla Adventures once more.

Thank you Magical Gorilla Adventure for organizing everything to perfection from pick up to drop off for the sitting of a Silverback Gorilla family in the Bwindi NP, it all went very smoothly. Shout out to my driver Eddie for sharing his knowledge along with his easy going and fun charisma! I would definitely recommend them to my fellow friends/family for future expeditions.
