Excellent, exceptional safari
5/5

I booked a three-day gorilla safari and it's really worth taking. My guideMuhwezi Shever gave me alot of information about gorillas and golden monkeys and he arranged the trip very well and accellently. Hotels were all good. The gorilla safari made me really tired becauseit involved Hikingand slopping down, but it's worth un forgettable experiencei have ever had in my life time thanks kyooma gorilla safarifor arranging such a beautiful safari. I reallyrecommend kyooma to travel with and ask for Shever as your guide he is the best guide and knowledgeable kind and hardworking.

Welcoming, kind and detailed oriented
5/5

I really enjoyed working with Kyooma Gorilla Safaris. I worked with them to visit the golden monkeys in Rwanda and to hike Mt. Bisoke. I reached out to many different companies to get quotes. Kyooma and Mwije (the office rep) was wonderful and listened to what I wanted to do within my budget. They definitely were the cheapest in terms of price of all those contacted, but not in the quality of experience. From start to finish they helped me plan a great and comfortable experience. I wanted to see crater lake on top of Mt. Bisoke and they made it happen. I had all the information I needed to experience my trip with ease. Blair was my driver and he was GREAT! I really enjoyed his company for the 2 days. Had lots of laughs and great conversations. He didn’t mind that I took a bit longer to hike and eat before departing back to Kigali. Loved learning from Blair about the work and his life in Uganda. I have zero bad things to say about Kyooma Gorilla Safaris. I would 100% work with them again!

They know how to do it
5/5

Me and my friend decided we wanted to climb Mt. Sabinyo that, even though the office was closed and it was a Sunday. Someone came and talked with us and made it possible for us to leave to Kisoro the the same day. They listen to every wish we had and gave us a fair price for what we wanted. The safari was great, good accommodation, the driver was friendly and drove us safely. Even after our safari trip ended they made sure we reached our next destination without any trouble. If you want to do a same day safari or multiple days, I can recommend them. We will have a great experience.

Smooth!
5/5

Did a day hike from Kigali with Muhwezi as our driver and main point of connection. He was incredibly helpful throughout the journey, and I felt safe with him around! On the way back to Rwanda, we took a quick short at his favourite local diner for lunch and to the markets to experience local life. It was a pleasure to be in the company of such a caring presence.

Exceptional Gorilla Trekking Experience in Bwindi Forest!
5/5

Exceptional Gorilla Trekking Experience in Bwindi Forest!

Our gorilla trekking adventure in Uganda’s breathtaking Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was an absolutely unforgettable experience — thanks to the incredibly well-organized team behind it.

From start to finish, Eziryerl managed the logistics flawlessly. Every detail was handled with precision — permits, transfers, accommodation, timing . Her calm, organized approach ensured that we could just focus on enjoying the experience without a single worry.

Shever was our key point of connection throughout the journey. While he didn’t join us in the forest, he was always present at the right moments — checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly, offering guidance, and coordinating behind the scenes to make sure every leg of the trip flowed seamlessly. His presence made us feel genuinely cared for and supported throughout the journey.

The gorilla trek itself was beyond words — coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla family is a humbling, awe-inspiring experience. The local trekking team and park rangers were incredibly skilled and respectful of the wildlife, and the entire process was conducted with care for both the guests and the gorillas.

This company offers not just a trip, but a truly meaningful experience — respectful of nature, professionally organized, and warmly human.

If you’re considering gorilla trekking in Uganda, we can’t recommend this team enough. With Eziryerl managing logistics and Shever ensuring smooth coordination every step of the way, you’ll be in the best possible hands.

Our safaris took us to see the gorillas and golden monkeys, both were great experiences and got us up close and personal. Accommodations were very nice with clean rooms and a variety of meal options.

Fantastic tour, everything taken care of by our driver/guide muhwezi shever. He was very funny and personable as well. The accommodations and food were amazing as well. I felt it was a very good value for the money. Make sure you see the gorillas, that was something truly special.

Making a dream trip an unforgetable experience
5/5

We just returned from the most incredible safari across Uganda and Rwanda, and we can’t stop thinking about it! The tour took us from Rwanda to Uganda, where we had the extraordinary chance to observe mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. But the adventure didn’t end there—we also saw the golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park, and an extra day took us to Akagera National Park. Every moment was a marvel.
From the very beginning, the tour operator stood out. Mwije was incredibly responsive and always aimed to offer the best value to enrich our experience. Our guide, Kato Precious, was a true gem—always going above and beyond, sharing insights not only about the wildlife but also the rich cultures of both Uganda and Rwanda. As we traveled through towns and villages, he fostered connection—not just with us but with the local communities, making us feel like part of something bigger.
We stayed at beautiful eco-lodges in both countries, which were not only comfortable but really immersed us in nature. Since it was a private tour, it felt personal and special—just my wife and I, with all the attention and care we could have asked for. If you’re dreaming of a safari that blends wildlife, culture, and the warmest hospitality, this is the one. We couldn’t recommend it more!
