  Mark organized our trip from Kigali, Rwanda to Bwindi Impenetrable forest for our gorilla trek and it was amazing! Godfrey picked us up at our hotel then took us to... read more the Genocide Memorial and a local outdoor market. We then made the drive to Uganda for our gorilla trek the next morning. Godfrey navigated the bumpy roads great and we arrived at our lodge just as the sun went down. The accommodation was lovely. The food was great and the people were very nice. We were minutes away from the entrance for the trek which went amazing. It was an intense hike through the forest but we lucked out and found our gorilla family in about an hour and a half. Thank you Mark, Godfrey and everyone else involved for making our trip so great!

  I just returned from a 10 days holiday in Rwanda. For a few days, I took a tour to beautiful Bwindi National Park in Uganda from Kigali. My tour guide,... read more Ben, couldn't be any more kind and reliable. The encounter with the gorilla family in the park was just one of the most amazing

  Gorilla Holidays was extremely east to deal with and Mark was very accommodating during the process of organizing the trip.

It was professional and at the same time informal, which made the experience perfect.

  After being grounded and locked indoors for most of 2020 the travel bug bit me. HARD. When borders started opening up, I noticed more photos of people traveling and Uganda,... read more specifically for gorilla trekking, caught my interest. My travel companion decided against traveling after I suggested Uganda, mainly out of fear. I too become fearful and concerned about traveling internationally solo. I found Gorilla Holidays as a recommendation from a solo female traveler. My first interaction with Mark was so professional and helpful. A week later I bought my plane ticket and booked with Gorilla Holidays. I did 6 nights and 7 days. My accommodations were absolutely beautiful, comfortable and exceeded my expectations. The meals were fresh, local and very filling. The excursions were moments of pure bliss. Yampa, my tour guide, made sure I was given a tour wherever I stayed or went. He went over and beyond to ensure I had the best experience, which I did. At every national park, I had an extraordinary experience due in part to the one and only Mr. Yampa Abraham. He knew every road, tree, and animal. I loved how he would share how to find animals while out on safari using most of your senses. One thing that I learned about Yampa is that EVERYBODY knows him, even animals! At each destination, we were greeted with such a welcome. I highly suggested requesting Yampa. Other tour guides would call or come up to him for questions, advice, and how to solve problems. Gorilla trekking...My thinking, I trekked 10 hrs in the Amazon this will be nothing. WRONG. It is very intense BUT worth it. The rangers were so helpful. Helpful to the point of literally holding my hand (for most of the trek) to help me up the steep hills I consistently slid down with each step. The way the rangers and scouts communicated with the gorillas was something out of a movie. You don't realize how massive and gentle these creatures are until you have a silverback walking mere feet in front of you. This is what I came to Uganda for and left with such gratitude for everything else Uganda has to offer: people, culture, nature, food and kindness. This was the scariest best decision I have made as a solo female traveler. I can't thank Mark and his amazing team for making this trip safe, fun and memorable. …
