5.00I went for a 3-day Gorilla Hiking experience and it was a once in a lifetime experience. The whole process was very straightforward, Ruth was there the whole time to present me the quotes and answer my questions promptly. I was picked up on time in Kigali by Ronnie, the driver who helped a lot in answering all the questions I had along the way. They respected the quote 100%, so you really pay for what are being offered. Everything is so well organized, beginning with the crossing from Rwanda to Uganda, to the Batwa experience, to the Golden Monkey trekking and of course to the Gorilla trekking. I could not be any happier for having made my journey around Rwanda and Uganda with them. I recommend East Africa Jungle Safari 100%. Don’t have a negative comment or even a suggestion to make. They sticked to their word and I really appreciate it. So thank you very much to all the EAJS team members, you allowed me to have a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget.
A magical experience!

5.00Our Ugandan Gorilla tracking trip with East African Jungle Safaris was absolutely mind blowing! We trekked for just under an hour and then spent a further hour with these magnificent creature’s. We also spent time on Lake Bunyonyi which was magical. Our guide for our three day trip was Ronnie who is a great guy, and an excellent driver and guide. As two female friends travelling together we always felt safe with Ronnie and he imparted so much knowledge. We would recommend Ronnie 100%!
An amazing time with East Africa Jungle Safaris- Highly recommended

5.00We are experienced world travellers( having travelled to 75 countries, all 7 continents) so we look for excellent service from tour operators when we travel. This month, we traveled to Rwanda & Uganda over 3 days with East African Jungle Safaris & had an excellent time. Our guide Farouk was waiting for us upon arrival at Kigali airport & seamlessly guided us through the next few days. We visited the Genocide museum in Kigali, did the Gorilla trek in Bwindi & visited Lake Bunyoni for a very relaxed stay, at the end of our trip. Farouk was an excellent guide, navigating us through customs & border control between Rwanda & Uganda, making sure we reached everywhere on time & sharing his insights about the 2 countries as we drove along. All the accommodations were excellent, the meals very tasty & the Gorilla trek was an experience we will always remember & cherish. Everything was seamlessly planned & executed. Thanks to East African Jungle Safari & Farouk for guiding us through an excellent, memorable trip.

Amazing 3 day trip to Bwindi and Bunyonyi from Kigali

5.00I had an amazing 3 day trip to Bwindi and Lake Bunyonyi with East African Jungle Safaris. Special thanks to my guide Ronald for the opportunity to stop for bird watching on the way to our destinations. On the first day I was picked up by Ronald from my hotel in Kigali and we headed to Uganda. On the way we did a lot of stops to enjoy the beautiful sceneries. The first accommodation (small private wooden house) in a small village in Bwindi had an amazing view on the forest. In the evening I did a cultural walk through the village. Next days in the morning we headed to our mail activity, Gorilla trekking. Don’t forget a mask (it’s a permanent requirement regardless of Covid), gloves and long socks to protect you from ants (which bite painfully). As we were lucky to find gorillas quite fast, we could arrive to Bunyonyi in the early afternoon so that I could do the kayaking on the same day. Bunyonyi is a very underestimated place with great views, flowers, birds. Don’t skip it if you go to Bwindi. On the last day after late breakfast we went to Kigali with a few stops for birds watching.
