Once in a life experience to meet the gorillas into the wild

5.00I’m incredibly grateful to Jason and the entire team at Safari Vacations and Travel Services Ltd for the outstanding support they provided in helping me secure a gorilla trekking permit at very short notice. Traveling in February 2026 on a tight timeline, everything was handled with remarkable speed, professionalism, and clear communication from start to finish. Jason’s deep knowledge of the permit process, combined with the company’s strong local networks, made what seemed impossible happen seamlessly. The whole experience was stress-free, well-organized, and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Safari Vacations and Travel Services Ltd for gorilla trekking and any safari experience—truly reliable, efficient, and five-star service

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Safari Vacations & Travel Services in Uganda. Planning the trip with Jason was smooth and professional, he always replied quickly, listened to our wishes and everything from organisation to payment went hassle-free. Our driver and guide Darias was reliable, knowledgeable and genuinely kind. Also, even when something would’t go exactly as planned, he always found a good solution. The gorilla trekking was an absolutely unforgettable experience we would recommend to anyone. Overall, all our expectations and hopes were fully met. Thank you for an amazing journey!
Amazing experience!

5.00Our trip with Safari Vacation and our guide Vincent was excellent. From the very beginning Jason (organizer/owner) from Safari vacations was always quick to answer and adjusted little details according to our wishes. Vincent the guide picked us up before the agreed time. And was always on time. We felt safe throughout because Vincent was very professional (we were two women) and always gave comprehensive explanations and answered all our questions because of his wealth of knowledge. He did a great job on a professional level and was very protective and courteous on a personal level. We had an additional two days in Rwanda. We were also very lucky with the monkeys, chimpanzees and gorillas, and were always able to find the animals quite quickly with the hiking guides we were assigned to. As a result, we had almost the entire penultimate day free because we finished quite quickly, but Vincent made sure that we could do another cultural village tour, which we were also very happy with (now we know how coffee, banana beer and banana gin are made). Vincent was also kind enough to take us to the airport later on the last day so that we could do a little shopping. The nature in Rwanda and Uganda is breathtakingly beautiful. The people are very friendly. It took some getting used to, of course, but everyone was very accommodating. The food in the lodges was also very good and often very natural, which we also liked. All in all, the trip was a worthwhile experience with many different impressions. And we would book with Safari Vacations and Vincent again anytime. So can only highly recommend it.
