The Park lies in southwestern Uganda on the edge of the Rift Valley. The “impenetrable forest” protects nearly more than half of the remaining mountain gorillas in the world and it is one of the best places for gorilla trekking in Africa. In addition to seeing the mountain gorillas in Uganda, clients can engage in other adventure activities that include nature walks, forest walks, bird watching and local community tours. This is the most enchanting and lifetime experience to encounter the majestic apes as they feed ,relax and play in the scenic allure of stunning hills and lush vegetation inhabited by these elusive primates.

Hello everyone! My name is Yulia. Recently I went to Uganda as a solo traveller and I booked my trip with Pilot and his company "PieLand Gorrilla Safaris". After visiting over 50 countries I can say that this was one of the best trips in my life. Pilot he accommodate all my requests and he is most happy and cheerful guy I ever met. He is very knowledgable about animals and uganda and can answer all your questions. You will be very comfortable travelling with him long distances (nice car, AC, water, snacks) all you need he will provide. I did 3 days gorrilla trekking experience which is a must and we went to see lake bunyoni which is one of the stunning views ever. As well we did night safari where you can see different animals living night life such as hyenas, zebras, leopard, impalas, hippo, etc. As well we did walking safari and you get very close to the girrafe in their habitat. It was amazing experience. I highly recommend "PieLand Gorilla Safaris" and Pilot. You will be enjoying every single moment with him! Thank you.

In case anyone’s looking for a great gorilla tracking experience, I just had an absolutely amazing time with Pilot Alinaitwe from Pieland Gilorilla Safaris. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make my trip everything I wanted and more. We had so much fun together, and he really did everything he could to give me an amazing wildlife experience, as well as an authentic Ugandan experience. Oh, and best part was how he tailored the trip to include what I wanted, what I was happy to skip, and to how much time and money I was able to spend. Amazing the amazing things we did was gorilla trekking at Bwindi Impenetrable NP and a walking safari and night safari at Lake Mburo NP, where we saw hippos, water bucks, buffalo’s, giraffes, antelope, leopards, zebras, baboons and more! Highly, highly recommend him! His Instagram is pielandgorillasafaris.

We had the most incredible safari experience with this company from the moment we arrived and everything was perfectly organized as per our itinerary. Our guide Alina Pilot had good knowledge about the Uganda wildlife and the local culture . Our main interest was the big five safari , chimpanzees and gorilla trekking and he was keen on spotting the animals while in Murchison falls national park . Though some roads were terrible like in bwindi but he is an experienced driver and knows the roads better . His passion for tourism was so inspiring and made sure that we never missed good views on our safari . We felt safe and comfortable throughout the safari and his sense of hospitality and humor was top notch . The choice of lodges was good and he even introduced us to local Uganda food like matooke. I would highly recommend pieland gorilla safaris to travelers looking for a safari in Uganda.

Pilot Gorilla Safari is the best company. Nothing is too much hassle we hired him for 3 weeks and we didn’t have any problems whatsoever . I have felt very safe in crowded places and even at the markets where everyone wants to be next to you so you can buy. I have had the perfect experience seeing the gorillas, going on games tracks and seeing rinos from very close. Couldn’t recommend this company enough 5 stars isn’t enough I would give him 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really recommend pieland gorilla safaris because they organized my dream gorilla trekking activity in bwinid Ruhija . I was afraid of the of the jungle and travelled solo . He convinced me and provided all the possible information and he selected the good accommodation for me . The guide was so accommodating and fluent in English that made me feel welcome and safe . Meeting the gorilla was my dream that came true and surely I loved the experience. One day will do it again with this company.

He did everything according to the itinerary and we were excited to see the lions in the morning. Yes, we did see them up to the delta . He was so friendly and helpful in his communication from time of booking up to the end of the trip. I would really recommend him and his company Pieland gorilla safaris .

I wanted to have the best wildlife safari experience and booked a trip with pieland gorilla safaris. Alinaitwe pilot who was handling my inquiry was very helpful in communicating the details of the trip. We left Kampala and traveled to queen Elizabeth national park for 3 days safari and really enjoyed it. I had the sighting of lions, elephants, buffalos, different bird species, and the mighty boat cruise on the kazinga channel He is very knowledgeable about Uganda and wildlife. Five stars are not enough. I can't wait to trek gorillas with this company on my birthday. I highly recommend this company for your trip to Uganda.
