  Incredible, absolutely lost for words. From start to finish Mark and Charles have worked tirelessly to make the trip one to remember.

I won’t forget this experience, and... read more it was only made better with the help of Gorilla Holidays. Charles knew all the local rangers, the best routes, and his knowledge made the trip unforgettable.

  I went to Uganda on my own as a female traveller for my 50th Birthday! Its been a dream for almost my whole life to meet up with Gorillas and... read more Chimps in their natural habitat. And what an amazing experience I had! I found Mark from Gorilla Holidays online and contacted him with 100's of questions, which he answerred patiently. He helped with my 10day itenary, and when it came to budget, he sticked to my needs. His suggestions for the trip and places where he booked me was clean, safe & gave me such lovely views over the lakes etc. Tom was my driver for the 10 days and he was such a gentleman!! He shared his knowledge, always made sure I was safe and well looked after. I would highly recommend their services. To meet up with the Gentle Giants, the Gorillas in the wild, was an experience I would treassure for life and you cant go wrong to book through Gorilla Holidays. Absolutely worth the every sent you saved for the trip..you pay 50% upfront and 50% after you have landed in Entebbe. Its a trustworthy company, and best priced aswell. Thanks once again Mark and Tom for making my dream a reality. You guys are really outstanding!

  We really enjoyed our experience with Gorilla Holidays! They are dedicated to customer satisfaction and provide the promised experience. We reserved the five-day gorilla trek/Queen Elizabeth Park experience.... read more It didn't disappoint. We WERE disappointed by a delay caused by Qatar Airlines. This caused us to be an entire DAY behind at the start of our trip. Mark sprung into action and managed to preserve our entire itinerary without us incurring additional costs, sacrificing any of our stops, or having to extend our trip. That is the true test of a company - how they adjust when things don't go according to plan. Mark and Jonan worked hard to find a solution that kept the smiles on our faces. After our delayed departure (caused by Qatar Airlines) we headed out to Queen Elizabeth park - and joined the Kazinga Channel cruise. We felt like we were right out of Disney's Jungle Cruise! Hippos and elephants galore! Even a crocodile! Incredibly enough, we saw a python as well!! Afterwards, we returned to our accommodation: Elephant Hab Lodge. We actually had the entire property to ourselves - a sublime experience with an infinity pool, spacious room, beautiful vistas, and plentiful food (see separate review). The next morning was a delicious breakfast and early departure for our game drive. Again, we marveled at active hippos, elephants, and LIONS! We told our guide Jonan which animals we were especially interested in, and somehow, we managed to see them!! (We also saw lots of other creatures as well, but those mentioned were important to us.) The road time was substantial, and Jonan kept his focus and dedication to safety the entire time. We knew we would have a lot of time in the vehicle, and it was no problem to let Jonan know when we needed a restroom or snack stop. The vehicle was quite comfortable, by the way, with seats that reclined and a pop-top for the safari. We arrived at the next night's lodging, in preparation for our gorilla trek the next morning. Again, plentiful food and comfortable lodging at Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge (see separate review). To get there, Jonan navigated some crazy roads, but we trusted him. His skill and experience was apparent. The gorilla trek was remarkable - but tough! Keep this in mind. Extraordinarily steep inclines, slippery trails, the works! My daughter and I joked that we would be on the 8-hour-trek when they let you know it will be between 1 and up to 8 hours trekking. Close. Our group was gone for 6 1/2 hours!!!!! Just be sure you are fit. We LOVED our group (eight of us) and our guide. We definitely got lucky with that. Sadly, we left the next morning for Entebbe. Another massive road trip - as well as Jonan making sure we got our necessary PCR for the trip back. Results were delivered in time, for a flawless departure home. So - satisfying trip in which we were able to experience all we wanted in a safe manner - a definite success. And a big thank you to Mark and Jonan - they helped us salvage our trip when the airline let us down. Again, the true testament of a company is its ability to be there for its customers when things don't go according to plan. Gorilla Holidays is just that company!

  An absolutely amazing trip! I found Gorilla Holidays online, and went with them on a gut instinct. From the get go, Mark made it about the experience and... read more about our convenience than about the money. We were not given inflated pricing, or unnecessary add ons. Strictly what we asked for. Additionally, unlike other operators, Mark was upfront about the fact that at the time of our visit, the Ugandan government was offering a discount on tracking permits. Mark was incredibly accommodating of our ever evolving itinerary, and was reachable at virtually all times, with quick responses to all communication. The Trip! Jonan our driver, was fantastic. He was fun, informative, patient for all our photograph stops, and above all, was safe. We really appreciated his kindness and humour, We stayed at Nkuringo Bwindi Lodge, and were the only guests during our stay. it was a perfect stay, with the nicest team derived of individuals from the local area. We received better care and service that I have experienced in some large cities! The water pressure and hot water were much appreciated after our trek! The trek itself was a bit more challenging than expected, but our porters, trackers, guide and security made sure we stopped as much as needed, encouraged us, and kept us entertained the entire time. Being within 10ft of a gorilla family (and a silverback!) is an experience that cannot quite be put into words. We were humbled by the sheer majesty of these animals. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you to Mark and the team, and we could not recommend Gorilla Holidays more. …
