Tony, our driver and tour guide, was absolutely wonderful. Not only is he a kind high-character person, he is very knowledgeable about Uganda and really took the time to answer all of our questions. Tony took the time to go the extra mile to ensure our entire trip was special, and to show us his culture and beautiful country. Every minute, from when arrived early to pick us up to when he helped us with our luggage at the airport at the end of our trip, we felt completely taken care of by Tony. Friendly Gorilla Safaris was wonderful, from Anthony promptly responding to all of our emails and questions, to Tony making our trip great. Definitely recommend them! The Gorilla hike was absolutely amazing and a once in a lifetime experience, I could not recommend it enough! You have to do this tour and you have to ask for Tony to make it even more wonderful. A couple tips: - Ensure that the hotel is close to where your permitted hike is located. I did not know that there are 5 locations where you can hike to see the Gorillas, depending on where your permit is for. Double check that the hotel you stay at is convenient to your permit hike site. Our hotel was the Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge, which was absolutely Wonderful and you can check out my review of them, and they are close to one of the hiking sites but it turned out that our permit was for another location so we had a 2 hour drive in the morning to get to our permit hiking site. It made for an especially early morning and a closer hotel to our hike would have been nice. Though the Rushaga really was wonderful. - If there is a way to choose where you hike and what group of gorillas to see then you should 100% ask for the Nyakagezi group. That is the group we visited, and it was Amazing. The hike was only about 1.5 hour to see the family of gorillas which had 3 silverbacks and 2 babies. The rangers we were with were all lovely. They were so helpful to ensure we got amazing views and photos of the gorillas, and they answered all of our questions. We felt completely safe with them and had a wonderful time. Once in a lifetime trip with our awesome tour guide Tony, definitely recommend it!!…

If you are a first-time traveler like me and planning to visit Africa for the first time, you have an idea of the fears i had. Thankfully, Anthony from Friendly Gorillas did an amazing job for me. I asked him over and over but he never got tired of me and kept encouraging me with detailed testimonials and information that made me finally decide to go to Uganda. During te tour, our guide Chis did us really good. He was knowledgable and explained to us several facts that broadened our Gorilla experience. The fears that I initially dad all went and we concluded our trip with total satisfactions. I advise you to use Friendly safaris when planning your trip to Uganda even if you are a first time traveller or solo tourist. thank you Anthony & Chris :)…

We initially wanted to visit Uganda and Kenya but due to an emergency change in our travel plan, we decided to go to Uganda only. The experiences we had were more than we expected. I and my girlfriend really enjoyed the 3 days tour with Friendly Safaris. Our guide Ronald was very skilled and made sure we were totally satisfied. The Uganda maize is something you MUST test when you visit Uganda. We tracked gorillas from Rushaga which I find to be the best and most recommended region you should choose from. thanks, friendly.…
