5.00We had the best time on this tour. Our guide Viany was amazing and answered all of our questions and made us feel so safe and taken care of. He picked us up at 2am from the airport and drove us to our accommodation at Rushaga Gorilla Lodge, which was such a beautiful, special place to stay. Our day of gorilla trekking was incredible. I highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful Experience from Start to Finish!

5.00This was a once in a lifetime experience for my husband and I!! Our time spent with the Mountain Gorillas is a memory we will always treasure...well worth the arduous trek through the jungle mountains!! Our guide Renatus took such good care of us throughout the whole adventure and really made our drive from Kigali to Rashuga fly by quickly by sharing his knowledge of the countries we drove through. Not only was he patient and kind he was a safe driver as well. We are so thankful for our time with him. We were able to hear the music from the Pygmy village from our lodge in the evening which was really cool. We stayed at Rashuga Gorilla Lodge and enjoyed the friendly service and cultural performances they offered each evening. The setting on the hillside was beautiful, especially the view from our deck overlooking lush flowers and the jungle covered mountains across from us. We highly recommend this tour!! Please don't forget to have smaller bills for tipping hotel staff, guides, rangers, or whoever may offer their services on your trip, they will really appreciate it!
Amazing tour at Uganda

5.00I had booked a solo 3-day/2-night tour with Eco Adventure Safaris for 14-16 Jan 2026. The price was quite ok. Pickup was from Kigali city. A four-wheel Toyota Landcruiser was made available for me. The guide (Roland) was very fluent in English and a quite safe driver. After a drive of almost 4-5 hours with some sightings of hadada and sacred ibis, crested cranes, herons, hamerkopp, etc. and with a stop at the Gatuna border and a quite tasty supper at Numba Cafe (https://maps.app.goo.gl/Aw6x6B5wtD1Wx85c6), the stay was planned in a fantastic Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge (https://maps.app.goo.gl/c8SdS7Y6LsD3Vk977). A welcome drink and wet towel were waiting at the entrance. My bungalow had a great view of the valley before the Bwindi National Park from the verandah. The lodge has a very good kitchen and offered various choices of continental food for breakfast, lunch packet and dinner. Also Beer in the evening was good for relaxation. The staff was quite attentive and helpful. Due to the general elections in Uganda, the internet was cut off, but was also not needed. On the second day I was driven to the national park gate at around 8am. First there was an entertainment dance program from the local community people. Then we were given information about the park and dos and donts, etc. Around nine people were grouped in my group. One security guard with a gun for our safety also joined as there are wild elephants and also non-habituated gorilla groups in this park. Also four porters were joining and they were carrying our backpacks which made the walking much more lighter. The tracking safari did not involve very steep hiking and mostly it was flat. The path had some slippery wet mud patches, but it was quite manageable. The guide was quite experienced and she ensured that everyone gets well hydrated with regular breaks in our trek which was not too short or too long and as some of the us were getting tired or slipping quite often. On the way, a black-fronted duiker was seen hiding in the bushes. We also saw some fresh elephant pugmarks in mud and also some fresh gorilla poops with a swarm of flies trying to lay eggs. We were then taken very very close to a wild but habituated gorilla family. The poor gorillas are surrounded by such fly swarm, they are not harmful or do not bother humans but still it gives an uneasy feeling. For the safety of the both species, everyone of us were wearing a mask. The trackers were clearing bushes for us to get a good view at them. The gorilla babies and teens were thumping their chests and wrestling/playing around with each other. The Silverback and the mother were showing some concern about their young ones but they did not look dangerous at all. We were given almost an hour or more for observation and we could take dozens of photos and videos and then there was sign to return. We came back around at 1pm. I was told that we were only the second one to return and last group possibly returned at 4pm. But if one is unlucky, one could come back after the sunset without any sighting. I was more than satisfied and also tired with this tour and I did not opt for any further local community experience. On the third day, I was brought back to Kigali and on the way to my guesthouse Rwanda Genocide museum was also visited which has free entrance but airport level security, so one should not take too mach luggage with while visiting it. To conclude, it was a dream come true for me and I would recommend Eco Adventure Safaris to all my friends in future.
Great experience!

5.00We had an amazing, once in a lifetime experience meeting the beautiful Bweza gorilla family. We also got to meet the lovely local community and the dancing groups. We hiked about 6km in total, a few hours in a group of 8. We got super close to them in their natural habitat. All the Rangers involved were very knowledgeable and took great pride in caring for the gorillas and keeping them safe. Our driver/guide Charles was very friendly, knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He went out of his way to make it a great and comfortable trip.
Fantastic trip to Uganda from Rwanda to see the gorillas

5.00We were in Rwanda (Kigali) for work and wanted to do a gorilla tracking safari but just not in our budget to do in Rwanda. So after some research decided to book a trip to Bwindi National Park with a pick up at our Kigali hotel. I emailed a few highly rated on Tripadvisor companies and Michelle from Eco Adventure Safaris were to first to respond and also had the best price. Just returned from our trip and it was simply AMAZING! The border crossing into Uganda took 15 minutes both sides and to be honest we really enjoyed the drive seeing the country side. Their Landcruiser was super comfortable and even had an inverter for charging our mobile phones and cameras. Our guide Godfrey was fantastic, friendly and professional and very important to me drove responsibly at all times. Before travelling I emailed Michelle with a frw queations and she always replied within a few minutes, excellent customer service. Although we took the budget accommodation option the hotels were awesome and were not budget at all. Highly recommend this company!
