Gorilla Safaris Experiences in Uganda
Gorilla safaris are the most sought after tourist activities because of the unique experience it offers. Gorillas are endangered primate species that share 98% DNA with humans, making them the closest cousins of Human beings. The gorillas can only be found in three countries; Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Inspire African Safaris offers many different tour packages such as Chimpanzee Tracking,Nature walks, wildlife safaris, hiking safaris etc
Therefore, gorilla safaris are only extended into these three countries, with Uganda harboring half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National park and Mgahinga National Park. Then Rwanda harbors half of the mountain gorillas in Virunga Mountain ranges protected under Volcanoes National park and the rest of the mountain gorillas live in Virunga National park in Congo. BBC
Gorilla safaris also extend to Kahuzi Biega in Eastern Democratic republic of Congo where there is lowland gorillas, another gorilla specie different from mountain gorillas which live in the montane areas.
Gorilla trekking in Africa is a very beautiful and emotional activity that is worth including to your bucket list adventure tours you must do before you die. Gorilla trekking in Africa can only be done in Uganda’s Bwindi impenetrable forest national park, Volcanoes national park in Rwanda and Virunga mountains in DRC for mountain gorilla safaris whereas African lowland gorillas can be viewed in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

This safari is everyone's dream, I couldn't believe my self infront of the giant silverback gorilla, the whole experience was amazing from start to finish and most importantly my... read more guide was amazing, the silverback was just watching us and the juvenile made fun of us he was waiting to see anyone who dares to touch the baby, this is a trip worthy every dollar despite the permit being abit expensive 700 in Uganda by government but it's worth more than Rwanda which sells x2 the price in Uganda, after I secured my permit Richard had to reserve everything for me and I paid the rest on arrival. I loved the Van with a full time deep freezer to take cold water whenever needed, it was 3 days of super experience and if your looking for a gorilla experience here you goo.

A trip beyond expectations - It was my son who suggested we should spend our vacation in Uganda and so we had to look for a tour company that can be trusted. A friend who... read more once visited Uganda recommended Inspire African Safaris and so we emailed them. Manager Richard handled our booking and he replied every email in time, we selected a package that was 3days Bwindi because my wife always wanted to carryout the gorilla trekking activity. When we reached Entebbe airport, Isaac the guide picked us up in a luxury safari vehicle and took us to the hotel and we were all more than excited about the whole trip.
The entire trip was on point and the guide was very punctual and very informed. We got the exact package we booked for and the accommodation was very nice. Thank you Mr. Richard for giving us the trip we always wished for and we're highly looking forward to exploring more with your company.

Unequalled and NEVER to be equalled Experience - This was my dream until I got a offer from this company website, at first was like am afraid of booking directly for known reasons but because the company offered... read more PayPal payments I gave it confidence because I knew for anything PayPal will refund me.
I had the chance to travel with Richard himself and he gave me a shirt as a souvenir which actually added to my experience.
The Gorillaz were very huge and the silverback pushed me away from its path which was thrilling, my experience will never be forgotten and I will leave to share the story to my grand kids, I traveled in a very luxurious Van and I slept at Rushaga gorilla camp which was five stars for me.
This safari is surely unequalled and I loved the batwa dances and tree house, everything was professionally organized and with God I shall return surely.

I had an unforgettable experience in the wilderness as i toured to Lake Mburo National with my favourite travel company in Uganda. It was my second time to travel with... read more Inspire African Safaris around Uganda and they've always been giving out the best. The guide was so calm, cheerful and very informed when it came to wildlife species.This country is very beautiful and full of wonders that will leave you want to know and see more. I had a taste on the famous local meal called a rolex sold at the roadside and trust me it was more than delicious. The flora and fauna in this park are breathe taking and the guide explained each and everything we asked him without any doubt. The cool breeze and beautiful scenery as you travel are also breathe taking. But always remember to move with a power bank so that you keep recording and capturing the moments to create evidence of your the adventure. Inspire African Safaris is really a trustworthy and best travel company in East Africa.

Best travel company in Uganda - It was my very first time to visit Uganda and so I had to look for a trustworthy and best travel company to use. My friend recommended me Inspire African... read more Safaris and so I did book with them for my 20days East African trip. On landing at the airport, I found when my guide is already waiting for me. He introduced himself and helped me carry my luggage to the car which was very clean and fresh. He asked me if I wanted to withdraw money or exchange currency to Ugandan shillings which I was interested in. So he took me to an ATM machine around Entebbe and after we continued the journey. I enjoyed my safari around Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania with the best guide Mark.
The flying part of the trip was so interesting as it made everything faster, easier and fun in the luxurious jet. The wildlife encounters during the game drives in all the 3 countries was marvelous. Toured alone but my guide was never a bore for he made me forget that I didn't come with anybody. I also recommend this company to anybody planning a trip to East Africa because you will not be disappointed. Thank you Mr. Richard for well planning my trip and giving me the best experience in your home land Uganda and East Africa at large.

Well planning and awesome guides - A morning of memories in the jungle, the rain took over the morning as we were being briefed for our gorilla trekking. The day was so cool and everything felt... read more fresh and interesting. My best friend and I started our hiking as we were being given more information about the flora and fauna in Bwindi forest. As we encountered the mountain gorillas it was such a memorable moment as we took pics and vids of them carrying out their day to day activities. Can't thank Inspire Safaris enough for their well planning of our trip and the guide who was so well informed and wasn't boring at all. Every moment at the trip was just perfect, Uganda the beauty of its own.

Delivering the best - The trip was worth the money they asked for. Adventure beyond expectations and the guide was on point when it came to wildlife explanations. We enjoyed both the land safari... read more and the boat cruise at the kazinga channel. It was all well apart from when the lodge's electricity went off for sometime during the day but the guide made sure we charge our phones in the car. The magnificent sceneries we encountered during the travel to Queen Elizabeth National Park also made the trip so awesome indeed Uganda is a beautiful country. Would love to travel again to other parts of the country with Inspire African Safaris because they deliver the best services. Better book with them for the best experiences and adventure in the wilderness.
