Amazing trip in Uganda and Kenya
Absolutely outstanding experience.
We did a 12-day safari across Kenya and Uganda (Gorilla trekking, Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli) in January 2026 and it exceeded expectations. The guides were exceptional: deeply knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate. They ensured we learned not only about wildlife, but also about local cultures, traditions, and daily life, which made the trip truly immersive.
Communication with the agency was flawless end to end—responsive, clear, and proactive. Everything ran smoothly, on time, and exactly as promised.
I’ll recommend this agency to all my friends and relatives! Hopefully we’ll come back soon as well!

Magical encounters in Uganda and Tanzania
We spent two weeks in Uganda and Tanzania organized by Magical Gorilla Adventures and we had the best time.
Communication was really good and fast via WhatsApp. The accommodations were great.
Our guide Peter in Uganda was amazing. He was really friendly and a very good driver. He put a lot of effort to give us experiences and the best memories. We learned a lot about Uganda and its culture and he knew a lot about animals. We saw a lot of animals in Murchison Falls Nationalspark. The chimpanzee tracking in Kibale was very memorable. Our highlight in Uganda was the Gorilla tracking in Bwindi. We were very close to the gorillas and had the best experience.
After an overnight stop in Ruanda we flew to Tanzania and were picked up by our guide Macha. We visited Central Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Nationalpark and we saw so many animals. The cheetahs even played on our safari car and we saw more than 80 lions. Macha was a great driver and he spotted so many animals for us.
The two weeks trip to Uganda and Tanzania was just amazing and we will never forget. Everything was organized very well. We definitely recommend Magical Gorilla Adventures and our guides Peter and Macha and would love to do another trip with them!

Great Safari Experience
We had an absolutely wonderful 17-day safari experience and can wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone planning a trip. From the very beginning, communication was clear, professional, and fast. Emails were answered quickly, often much sooner than expected. Every question was addressed in detail, which gave us a lot of confidence before the trip. One of the biggest advantages was how flexible they were, both before and during the safari. They accommodated all our planning changes without any hesitation or feeling that we were “bothering” them. Adjustments to the itinerary were handled smoothly, and we always felt our preferences were truly listened to. The entire 17 days were organized seamlessly, and we could simply relax and enjoy the experience. Any changes or tweaks we requested on the road were taken care of quickly and efficiently. The trip felt very personal and tailored to us, rather than a standard, rigid package. Overall impression is that this is a company that genuinely cares about its guests and goes the extra mile to create a memorable safari. The combination of responsiveness, flexibility, and warm, attentive service made this one of our best trips ever. Highly recommended for anyone who values good communication, adaptable planning, and a worry free safari

They skipped the last game drive day 😢😢😢
I really enjoyed the lodgings that we stayed in for the tour, really beautiful and relaxing. However, we were meant to get 3 game drives. On the last day we just drove out of the park without the final game drive which was really disappointing

Awesome Safari and Gorilla Trekking Trip
It was an amazing trip with Magical Gorilla adventures. They planned a fantastic itinerary based on what I wanted to do and see while in Africa. Our guide Musa was great from start to finish and took great care of us in all ways, shapes and forms. He was informative and educated on the gorillas, the safari, the local culture and the animals. Great driver as well, knows the roads in and out as he is local and from there. We had a blast with him for 5 days. Bonus was he takes pictures of you each day and sends them over daily which we didn’t expect, makes it more enjoyable for you to just take everything in and not worry about taking your own photos. Being close to the gorillas was super neat. Highly recommend this tour group, great experience!

Attentive
Our safari trip to Uganda was absolutely incredible, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Eddie, our guide, was exceptional. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a seamless adventure, taking care of every detail and making sure we had everything we needed. His attentiveness made all the difference!
One of the standout highlights was The Bush Lodge, without a doubt, our favorite stop. We were lucky enough to spot an elephant right on the grounds, along with hippos and countless other wildlife. The layout of the lodge was stunning, and the food was fantastic. If we had more time, we would've loved to stay longer, but our tight schedule meant we had to move on.
Another stand out was Rushaga Gorilla Haven Lodge, where we were treated to breathtaking views and exceptional service. The staff made us feel right at home, and the experience of waking up to the beauty of Uganda each morning was unforgettable.
We also had a memorable experience at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, which tied for second on our list of favorites. Watching a baby rhino and its mother pass by our tent was a surreal moment, and the tent itself was cozy and charming. We sat on the porch, listening to a thunderstorm as it rolled in, creating an atmosphere that was both peaceful and awe-inspiring. The shower was fantastic, and the entire room was one of the most memorable stays on our journey. Plus, the rhino experience itself, guided by a knowledgeable ranger, was fascinating.
The Ruwenzori View Guesthouse was another great spot, but the other lodges truly stole the show. We wished we stayed closer to where the chimps were, it seemed silly to travel an hour there and back. We LOVED the village tour. Our guide Patrick was amazing and made our experience memorable. We celebrated my birthday with the banana man and it was so much fun. Learning to weave baskets, make coffee, and listening to the community doctor were also highlights of the day.
However, we did have a less-than-ideal experience at the Red Chilli Rest Camp. The rooms felt a bit unkempt, and we noticed that the cleaning service was lacking. The water had a strange smell, and the overall vibe didn’t match the other lodges. We also had to go to a counter to order food, whereas we loved the home-cooked meals and family-style dining at the other locations.
Throughout the trip, we were lucky enough to encounter some of the most beautiful wildlife and capture stunning photos. So many of our friends on social media reached out to ask about the tour group we used, and without hesitation, I passed along Gorilla Magical Adventures' information and highly recommended Eddie as the guide to book with.
Uganda is truly a hidden gem, and our safari exceeded all expectations. It was, hands down, one of the best birthdays I've ever had! I can't recommend this trip enough. If you're considering a safari in Uganda, don’t hesitate to book with Gorilla Magical Adventures!

Eddie was one of the best parts of the whole trip! I will miss him and hope to see him again!
There is nothing bad to say about Magical Gorilla Adventures! If you plan on gorilla trekking call them!
They handled everything for the group and were a pleasure to work with. Our guide Eddie was close to overthrowing seeing the gorillas for best part of the trip. He was just as excited as we were. He always had a smile on his face, super knowledgeable about everything we were doing and passing. He often shared meals with us and always had a story to tell. I can’t wait to do this again!

An itinerary made with care and a safari to remember for a live time
Magical Gorilla Adventures is a great company to go on safari with. The itinerary was made with care and we could ask a lot of questions before and add an accomodation we saw online. That was really nice. Aina and Holo were always really friendly before and after and during our safari. The accomodations were amazing and we saw so much of the country in just 10 days. Our guide was good too. We only wished he explained a bit more but when we asked him something, he was always happy to explain and ready to help. If we would do another safari we would problably do this again with Magical Gorilla Adventures.

Perfect trip with the best itinerary.
We are just home from our safari with Magical Gorilla Adventures. Everything went perfect! Our guide took such great care of us. Ask for Eddie he was the best. I felt he was a very safe driver. Our mid range lodging was very nice and food was great. Please be prepared for long drives if you want to cover lots of parks as we did. The drives were worth it . Uganda is so much more than just seeing the Gorillas.
