Lovely feedback from a recent client visit to Rwanda to trek with the Golden Monkeys and Gorillas.

“We had a wonderful time. Really well coordinated, from the time we landed, to when we were dropped off to the airport. Edmund was absolutely amazing. We both really enjoyed the experience. Will surely recommend your company to our friends / others looking to visit.”

Reviews like this make us so happy! Thank you, Tatiana and we are delighted you had such a fabulous trip 💜

“Thanks for a perfect trip!

I have planned many trips before with various travel agents and I must say Amanda was truly one of the best agents I have had the pleasure to interact with.

Our trip (with quite a complicated itinerary: we changed two countries, 3 national parks) went off without a hitch.

All the arrangements (flights, hotels, transfers, activities) went as planned.

What made the trip to go so smoothly - was Amanda’s invaluable advice, thoughtfulness, precise attention to all the details. The hotels she recommended were excellent! Hotel locations were ideal!

Having digital itinerary in hand was super helpful as well. I also really appreciated the guidance documents (with abundance of useful info) - huge help.

Would highly recommend The Gorilla Safari Company for your travels.

“Tracking Chimps through the dense forest I felt giddy, slightly nervous, exhilarated and was stunned by the noisy sounds as they were communicating to each other”

We are often asked which we would recommend – gorilla trekking or chimp trekking. Either experience, to be fair, is extraordinary as they both give you such a fascinating insight into these primates and their natural habitat.

Discover the magic of Golden Monkeys! Embark on a captivating journey through Uganda and /or Rwanda and encounter the enchanting golden monkeys in their natural habitat.

With their radiant fur and playful antics, these endangered primates offer a glimpse into the wonders of biodiversity and conservation efforts in these parts of Africa.

Chimpanzees have the most wonderful wild spirit in their natural habitat, as well as observing Gorillas we can arrange a chimp trek too.

Chimpanzees are known for their inquisitive nature, always exploring their lush forest homes with curiosity and agility. Just like us chimps thrive in social groups, forming strong bonds, playing, grooming, and communicating through a variety of vocalizations and gestures.

Watching their playful antics will leave you smiling.

Supporting chimpanzee conservation helps protect not just these fascinating primates, but also their habits and the diverse wildlife that they call their forest home.

Discover the wonders of the Mountain Gorillas:

They live in close-knit family groups led by a dominant silverback.

They share strong emotional connection, often displaying care towards one another.

Despite their powerful appearance, mountain gorillas are herbivores, eating mainly leaves, stems, fruits, and bamboo shoots.

Sadly, they are critically endangered, with only around 1,000 left in the wild. Gorillas are incredibly intelligent, displaying problem-solving skills, using tools, and exhibiting complex social behaviours within their groups.

Aref and Emma had a fantastic safari to Rwanda and Uganda. On arrival they thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Nyamirambo Women’s Centre, a Rwandan NGO, launched in 2077 18 Rwandese women made it their mission to address gender-based violence, gender inequality and discrimination. Today, they provide education and vocational training to women. Aref and Emma joined a walking tour and had a traditional cookery class. They then loved their stay at the stunning Mount Gahinga Lodge, with beautiful hand build bandas reflecting the magic and traditions of the Bufimbira people.
