Amazing
My wife (princess;) and I booked a 3day tour from Kigali to Bwindi NP for gorilla trekking.
The booking process went smooth and with quick responses.
We were picked up at the lodge in Kigali by Moses and had an exciting and scenic drive to the wonderful Bweza Lodge. The staff was great and helpful and the trekking itself was unforgettable!
All the time we felt absolutely safe and taken care of.

Awe-inspiring adventure!
If you want to see what my family calls the Ugandan’Big Three’ - gorillas, chimpanzees and tree climbing lions, then there is only one choice - Epic Ugandan Vacation! Excellent adventure, lodges, food and Darius (our tour operator) was very knowledgeable and ensured we saw everything!!
Vacation of a lifetime!

Amazing East African adventure with Epic Uganda Vacations!
We spent 3 days in Rwanda and Uganda for an amazing three-day whirlwind gorilla and golden monkey tour with Epic Uganda Vacations before we flew to Nairobi and continued our holiday with an incredible 14-day adventure through Kenya and Tanzania. From start to finish, Epic Uganda Vacations seamlessly coordinated everything, and our guide Moses was very attentive, knowledgeable, and truly made the journey special. We saw more wildlife than we expected, with standout locations being Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. We also visited Amboseli NP, Ngorongoro Crater and the Northern Serengeti. A day spent in Lake Natron with its unique landscapes, amazing waterfall and flamingos was well worth the detour as well. Overall, the communication, organisation, and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Epic Uganda Vacations for anyone planning an East African safari!

Went above and beyond
Tour was great, I was picked up at the airport and started with my journey. My guide was very accommodating to what I wanted to do and when I needed to rush to the airport, he got me there just in time. Five minutes later I would’ve missed my flight.

Great from start to finish...
Wow where do I start… what an incredible few days with EPIC and Jerome. For context I am a mid-30s male from London, travelling solo, and it is not my first time in Africa.
Firstly, due to issues with flight cancellations I want to thank Jerome (my guide for the trip) for being so accommodating with last minute changes to my arrival time. He met me at arrivals and was happy to let me spend some time speaking with Rwandair staff to resolve a query. Once we got on the road towards Bwindi he was clearly very well informed about Rwanda and his native Uganda. I learned a lot in those 5/6 hours as we crossed the border and settled in for the night.
The next day was Gorilla Habituation day, and luckily for me, with it being the low season I was the only tourist on the expedition (along with 3 trackers, 2 scouts armed with rifles, 1 guide and 1 porter). We only had to hike for 1hr20min before finding a family of 9 gorillas, and words cannot come close to describing the experience. You simply cannot gauge the true size of these beautiful creatures, or understand the thrill when they move past you seeking out more vines. The habituation experience offers 4 hours with the gorillas but eventually I spent only 3 hours - which I’m glad for because on the hike back I managed to spot the endemic 3 horned chameleon crossing our path. We spent the remainder of the day crossing the border back to Rwanda and spent a relaxing evening near Volcano National Park.
Another early start gave us the opportunity to see the Golden Monkeys in VNP. Sadly, any experience after the gorillas is going to be mildly underwhelming but these unique critters were still a sight to behold. This activity was over in 1 hour and perhaps would be good to combine with another excursion with most of the day remaining. In the end I changed my flights to begin my next adventure in Kenya that evening.
Overall the experience with Jerome was incredible. He made me feel very relaxed and at home in a new country, with his humour and knowledge of the area. His English was perfect, as well as all of the other languages he spoke which were especially useful on the odd occasion. The 4x4 car we had was very comfortable and managed well with the road conditions at high altitude. I would highly recommend Jerome / EPIC / this tour (which can be customised) to anyone!

Epic 3 day gorilla trek
I had a fantastic time on a 3 day Gorilla Trek in Uganda via Kigali. Moses was a funny and energetic guide and made sure I got an authentic Ugandan experience. When given the opportunity he offered activities in the local villages. Everything was professionally organized. Would use them again.

Epic Uganda Vacation is indeed epic, highly recommendable for a fantastic holiday !
I found this tour operator thanks to Safari Bookings and it was a perfect tour, everything was so well organized, excellent value for money too.
I travelled with my daugther in Rwanda and Uganda, we did amazing trekking with Golden Monkeys, with Gorillas and Chimps, as well as car safaris and other cultural visits. Epic Uganda Vacations would go out of their way to ensure we had the best time, even before travelling, with excellent advice and support on visas, preparatory work, options. During the tour, our guide Moses was extremely knowledgeable, professional, reliable and a great person to travel with, with a positive and friendly spirit. I definitely recommend anyone to book their eastern African adventure with Epic Uganda Vacations, wish to thank them once more for making our holidays such a memorable time and thanks also to Safari Booking for having linked us to this excellent tour operator. Would definitely travel with Epic Uganda Vactions again !

5 day solo adventure
Completed a 5 day solo adventure with Epic Uganda. Thoroughly enjoyed the lodges and scheduled program of golden monkeys, gorilla trekking, Queen Elizabeth Park, and chimpanzee trekking. Thank you!

Epic Uganda was incredibly responsive and professional.
Our experience with Epic Uganda, from the pre-trip communication to the beginning, middle, and end of the trip was exceptional. My husband and I chose the 6 day Rwanda-Uganda Gorillas and Wildlife Safari. Our guide Scotius was warm, kind, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver. Our nightly lodging was comfortable with amazing, attentive staff. We were blown away by experiencing the gorillas a chimpanzee - an incredibly special experience. Our wildlife drives were beyond expectation with lions and leopard spotting! The boat ride on Lake Edward was a surprise with the abundance of wildlife—elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife. Be prepared for lots of time driving, and be sure to secure an Eastern Africa Visa.

Rhe best company to know the magic of Uganda
A super serious company. Comply with everything agreed. Excellent quality services and locations. Moses is committed to his work, he constantly makes sure everything is working perfectly, a charming person. The guide Roland always has the best energy, busy covering all your needs, even going beyond what is stipulated. It was a pleasure to share with him the treasures of this country of endearing people.
I recommend it 100%
Thanks Moses! Thanks Roland! 🙏
