Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Reviewed By BhattiSherry - Jinja, Uganda

The gorilla trek (and TRACK also- since we were actually being guided by the scouts who were tracking the family in real time!) was a totally awesome experience which is unique to this part of the world! The trek involves steep ascents/descents and demands good physical fitness. The one hour stay with the gorilla family is memorable and is a lifetime experience. Some tips:- 1. Wear good trekking shoes which are ankle high. If not available, ask your lodge in advance to arrange for gumboots from the UWA rangers at $10 per pair. Absolutely necessary, do not try to trek in sneakers/normal shoes. 2. Carry 2 litres water per person. If the sun is shining, it can cause dehydration fast. 3. Hiring a porter is useful particularly if you are not at the top of your fitness or are middle aged. He carries the backpack too. Cost is $15 but most trekkers pay more because of the superb assistance. 4. A rain jacket is necessary, it can rain anytime. 5. Nkuringo sector is the toughest trek but the most rewarding. Buhoma and Rushaga are comparatively easier. 6. It may take as long as 6-7 hours before return, so carry energy bars as well as the packed lunch provided by the lodge.

Reviewed By Seaside072036 - Sydney, Australia

I travelled in September on an 8 day safari as a solo female traveller. Any concerns or questions that I had prior to my trip were readily responded to by Justus. My fabulous and enthusiastic tour guide, Allan, made the experience a memorable one. He consistently gave 100%, was fun and knowledgeable. I learnt so much about beautiful Uganda, it’s friendly people and amazing wildlife. I felt safe throughout the entire journey , found the accommodation selections good and the tour vehicle was comfortable. The highlight for me was the gorillas but I also loved Murchison National Park. The only thing I might change if I were to do it again is to cut out one of the long day drives by adding a flight either at the beginning or end of the tour. I have no hesitation in recommending a tour of Uganda with Gorilla Bookings. Thanks for a great tour Gorilla Bookings and Allan????

We had a few days in Entebbe before embarking on our birding and gorilla safari, so headed out to Ngamba Island Chimp Sanctuary. Well worth the visit, learnt a lot about chimps, had a wonderful boat ride on Lake Victoria crossing the equator each way and spent quite some time observing the bird and reptile life along the shore line of the island....a most enjoyable day!!

Victoria Nile

Reviewed By TreggyGodwin

The mighty Lake Victoria was thought for a long time to be the source of the Nile. It is in a sense. Waters from the large lake leave by the Victoria Nile to head north to join the Albert Nile in northern Uganda. When the water leaves the massive Lake Victoria, it does so in a spectacular fashion. The water pours out of the lake at the Ripon Falls, also known as Owen Falls Dam, in Uganda. It then goes by the Victoria Nile to Lake Kyoga before joining the Albert Nile. The lake itself is shared by three countries: Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya. The headwaters for the streams that feed the lake, however, originate from the mountains of Rwanda and Burundi. its a spectacular breathtaking view.
