Fred Kanyongo did a very special job in organising this safari and all the late add ons and must be very highly recommended in doing so
I will most definitely be returning in the future and will not hesitate to use Frec and his wonderful team again.

We booked with Gorilla Safaris Uganda Limited for a five days Gorillas and Chimpanzee tracking. The care given to us was nice, Gorillas and Chimpanzee were very many, accommodation was classic, food was sweet and served in time from the first day up to the 5th day. We enjoyed the tracking, and we wish to book again with Gorilla Safaris Uganda Limited.
