Well educated, friendly, respected tour guide
5/5

Julius took my friend and I on a 3 day trip of Uganda and Rwanda. We visited the genocide museum in Kigali before departing to Uganda where we did the gorilla trekking in Bwindi national park. The whole experience was exceptional. The gorilla trekking was a once in a lifetime and we were overwhelmed with the experience we had. Julius is a way known and respected tour guide and made sure we got to trek the Tinatine gorilla family. They were highly active and the silver back was a unit, we got right next to the whole family. We cannot thank Julius enough for an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Safari vacations and travel service for tours to east Africa and Julius as your tour guide!

Everything went smoothly!
5/5

Alonso did a great job leading the way! I was the only one on this trip which it made it even more personal. Gorilla trekking and chimpanzee trekking are a once in a lifetime experience. Jason helped organize everything and answered all my questions before I left. While on the trip, Alonso was there to greet me at the airport right away and showed me the best spots in Uganda. Truly unforgettable.

Amazing day with Mountain Gorillas in Uganda
5/5

I booked a 2 day quick trip to Uganda to see the Mountain Gorillas. My travel agent recommended Safari Vacations. It was a wonderful experience. Their guide, Edwin was fabulous. He was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He was also a very good driver which was great as the traffic was challenging!

The accommodation was very comfortable with good food and expansive views of the forest.

Dream come true!!!
5/5

Wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for the epic Rwanda trip! Jason’s local knowledge and infectious enthusiasm made every day a blast. From the gorillas to the vibrant markets, you showed us the real deal.

Your personal touch and fun stories really brought the trip to life. It felt like hanging out with a buddy who just happens to know everything about Rwanda. The laughs and good times were the cherry on top. Can’t wait to hit the road again with you soon. Keep up the great work!

Cheers from your Chinese friend Yi and his parents!

Flexible, eficient & very kind
5/5

I contracted a tour to visit Gorillas from Kigali just hours before the tour had to start. Jason was so flexible & effective. The Guide, Alex was a fixer, solving all problems with VISA in Uganda, cash and so on. These guys are very Gold professionals. No doubt, they are a perfect choice

Best deal in town
5/5

Best deal in town. Jason accommodates all our needs. It’s a one day tour. Very efficient for people who are not in town for many days

Definitely would recommend
5/5

Our driver and guide was Andrew
He was so sweet and patient, never rushing us. Explained a lot of stuff and culture us. He made sure we were always doing okay and made sure we were taken care of. The trip it self was everything o could have asked for. Seekng the gorillas and chimpanzee. Walking in the community. I do plan on coming again and hopefully I can have Andrew again. He and I are now friends for life.

Great tour!
5/5

Really great gorilla trekking experience. Jason (owner) was super helpful and responsive - always replied promptly & accommodated my last minute request.

My guide Samuel was awesome and I’d recommend that you request him. He is a very positive person and loves to have a chat if you have questions, or allows for a chill ride if you’re looking for quiet. You really can make it your own.

I arrived in Kigali and spent the night in Bwindi park. Originally I was going to do a same day tour but Jason recommended this option and I’m happy he did. Ichumbi Hotels kisoro I stayed at was really nice and I wish I had more time there, so try to arrive earlier than nighttime.

If you do the local village tour near the gorilla trekking, bring some food or even clothes for them.
