Excellent organisation, communication and guide/driver - amazing experience overall
We had an amazing 4 days tour starting Kigali up to Queen Elisabeth NP. The organization from Kyooma was very good. Mwijie was very fast in responding to messages and always reachable. Our Guide and Driver Kiiza did an excellent job bringing us to all our destinations safely & in time, and telling so many interesting stories about the country, the animals and locals, and much more. We had a fantastic time - thank you Kiiza. The highlights: so many. The amazing gorillas, the chimps at Kyambura Gorge, the playing golden monkeys, the >50 elefants at Kazinga Channel and much more. Great experiences!

Great tour with Kyooma Gorilla Safaris
My family recently completed an incredible 4-day tour combining Golden monkey trekking in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda, and Mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, Uganda. We booked with Kyooma Safaris, and the entire cross-border experience was absolutely seamless and professionally handled.
Our guide, Vincent, was fantastic—incredibly knowledgeable, a great driver, and highly attentive to our family throughout the journey. Spending time with the playful golden monkeys and standing feet away from the mountain gorillas in Bwindi were once-in-a-lifetime moments.
If you are planning an East African safari, I highly recommend Kyooma Gorilla Safaris.

Making a dream trip an unforgetable experience
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!

Would go again
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.

Muhwezi shiver was very friendly and personable. Speaks great English and was very informative.
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.

Exceptional Gorilla Trekking Experience in Bwindi Forest!
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.

Smooth!
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.

They know how to do it
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.

Great
Everything was perfect from beginning to end. The trip offered many amazing wildlife sightings and was an incredible experience throughout. My guide was kind, knowledgeable and professional, and his driving skills were excellent, making the long drives feel very safe and comfortable. The entire tour was very well organized and truly unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Uganda!
