Amazing Safari experience!!!
I did a 10 day Safari with Big Apes Africa and the trip is one of my best life experiences. As much as the gorillas were amazing, other big safari animals were beautiful too for example the leopard. This animal is special!
Everything was well organized with a great sense of detail and our guide Moses was professional, friendly and funny!
Thank you for the perfect trip!

Peter and his team are very organized knowledge based personalities with a bias to clients satisfac.
I traveled with Big Apes Africa with Peter as our lead Safari Guide and I must admit we were blown away by his level skills in driving and guiding. His knowledge about Uganda and conservation is so extensive and I highly recommend this company.

*I highly recommend Big Apes Africa*
My trip to Uganda was well arranged without leaving a single detail. Our guide was friendly and knew many things. My experience was the best I could imagine. From the wildlife to the people and the food I had not tasted in a very long time.
During booking, my contact person Peter answered all the questions with a lot of patience.
I highly recommend Big Apes Africa for anyone planning to visit Uganda!

The trip of a lifetime!
We decided to spend our honeymoon in Uganda last summer and it was with no doubt our best trip. Uganda is an amazing country, it is pure nature, incredible landscapes and kind people. We were very lucky to have Peter as our tourist guide, he is very professional, always searching for more animals in the safaris (we showed the Big Five), explaining everything with detail, he is passionate about his country and he is able to transmit and show you the best of it and of course the experience with the gorillas is unbelievable!!. We did not have to think about any logistical issues because he had everything planned and very well organised. So we will never forget Uganda, and we highly recommend this trip and Peter as a tourist guide.

An unforgettable trip
Last summer we spent 11 days in Uganda and it was a unique experience. We really realized why Uganda is called the pearl of Africa. Uganda is so much more than the gorilla experience, which is truly amazing. Peter, our guide helped us discover this country with its main parks (Murchison, Budongo Forest, queen elizabeth, bwindi...), we were lucky enough to be alone with him in the car and he gave us a totally tailor-made tour, pending everything and making this trip we can never forget. Thanks to him we were able to see the richness of this country, experience nature in its purest form, discover its landscapes, animals and the kindness of its people. Peter had everything organized in advance, always making sure that everything was perfect both in the routes, trips and in the accommodations, very well chosen, so we will always remember this precious experience.

Uganda is real the Perl of Africa
Africa has enchanted me for a long time and it always draws me back there. This was my second time in Uganda and again I had a great, pretty perfect time there.
The endless expanses, the unique landscape, the fascinating animal world and above all the moving encounters with the local people make every trip a unique and unforgettable experience.
But without our wonderful guide Peter, it probably wouldn't have been nearly as eventful, because he does his job with passion, knows exactly what his guests need today and organizes everything he can without talking too much about it, sensational! Thank you very much... see you again...

Wonderful, astonishing and beautiful Uganda
In August 2021 we had a two weeks holiday trip through Uganda with Big Apes Africa and Peter as a guide.
It was an astonishing experience, we have seen wonderful landscapes and a big number of the most beautiful animals including lions, elephants, zebras, gnus and a variety of birds.
Two of the most astonishing experiences where the walks through Chimbale National Parks to visit the Chimpanses and the trip into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest were we had the chance to watch a Gorilla family from close range. It was a breathtaking experience and one that we never will forget in our whole life.
Traveling Uganda we absolutely can recommend and the best way is choosing Big Apes Africa.
All the Best

Extraordinary experience
It was easy to correspond with Big Apes Africa. It was a well organised and they have given answers to all our questions, with a lot of patience. The trip was well prepared, with all the handy tips Big Apes had given us before departure. We have visited one big apes family and it was a once in a lifetime experience.

A Great Safari Experience with Excellent Guiding
Before starting my safari, I was in regular contact with Big Apes. I was able to share my wishes and make changes at any time, and a revised itinerary was always proposed without any issues. In the end, I did a 5-day safari that was very diverse: from the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary to various national parks, as well as chimpanzee and gorilla trekking, everything was included. The pickup in Kampala and the end of the trip in Kigali were also organized smoothly. The five days of the safari itself were a wonderful experience. The tour guide was very friendly, dedicated, and had an impressive knowledge of wildlife, which he was happy to share. He regularly checked on my well-being and took great care of me throughout the trip. The accommodations were modern and of high quality. Personally, I would have preferred something a bit simpler, as a less luxurious style suits me better – but this is a matter of personal taste. The food was very good throughout the entire trip.
One point that could be improved is the communication before the start of the safari: I only found out the evening before when I would be picked up and needed to be ready. Additionally, during the five days there was one instance where the guide had not yet received the fuel money from the office.

We thought our guide did an outstanding job with what he had to work with.
When we reached out to Big Apes Africa - the itinerary sent over was very professional-like. However, it was never communicated with us that we needed our e-visa before arriving to the airport. With hours to spare and not enough time - we reached out to say we needed to cancel our booking and then, miraculously for an additional charge, we got an expedited visa.
With that out of the way, we loved the chimpanzee and gorilla trekking experiences. We do want to make others aware that the drive times were not communicated clearly and we spent 7-9 hours traveling each of our 4 days.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were provided, however, one of the day days our driver got lost (no GPS) and we arrived to our lodge at 10 PM and chose to skip dinner. All in all, we would recommend, but would be interested to see what a longer experience.
