Reviews
Jimmy was an amazing and wonderful guide!
We loved our trip. We did a 3 day safari in Murchison and then decided to do the Gorilla trekking. We visited the Rhinos and saw many animals in the Park. Put accommodations were amazing. Our guide (Jimmy) was very knowledgeable on everything. We were able to see the Gorillas after a short walk off of the road, which was very helpful due to some physical limitations that we had. We were so impressed and he made sure we had the most excellent accommodations and a lovely time which we did. I would highly recommend Semu Safari.

Helpful and knowledgable
We had a wonderful trip with Jimmy from Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and back. Over the course of three days, we experienced an adventure that was both exciting and relaxing. Everything was well organized, and Jimmy kindly answered all our questions along the way. Seeing the gorillas was without a doubt the highlight of our journey! As a family, we highly recommend Semu Gorilla Safaris!
Informative and fun loving.
This was my first time in Africa and so first time in safari, so I didn’t know what to expect. I am used to taking fairly luxurious vacations and so this was a little different of course. I was blown away by the experience. We may have good favor in being able to see so much wildlife. We went to the Rhino preserve and tracked the rhinos by the trampled grass. We got within 30 meters of 12 wild rhinos! We also went to Murchison Falls National Park and saw many animals. Giraffes everywhere, elephants everywhere, buffalo everywhere, etc. We saw lions and lion cubs. The lodge was great with a beautiful background. All in all an unforgettable trip!

I can’t imagine a better guide and tour operator. Simply the best!
Semu Gorilla Safaris and Tours was a complete God send. We decided to take a short trip to Murchison Falls and do the big 5 game tour. First I’ll say, out of many different companies I contacted, Edison was the most responsive and gave the best presentation of the different options. The entire process was clear and detailed. From being greeted at our hotel, everything in between and finally delivered back, Edison made for the most pleasant and memorable experience that exceeded every expectation. We received a wealth of knowledge and history about the region along the way, and enjoyed friendly and fun exchanges. We all fell in love with Uganda and when we make it back to see the other parks, there’s no question we’ll be looking up Edison at Semu Gorilla Safaris.
Organised well for your enjoyment experience
I traveled from Entebbe Uganda through to Kilgali Rwanda over 7days.
Jimmy was the driver/guide of my jeep, he was excellent throughout the tour!
I was delayed arriving from Nairobi and they accommodated an airport pick-up and we set off to the first stop at Lake Mburo. The accommodation was excellent, this standard was matched throughout my eight day trip.
Walking amongst giraffes the next day in the national park accompanied by a ranger was a special moment.
Later that day we transferred to Queen Elizabeth National park for a two night stay.
I was very lucky to see two leopard up close on our full days game drive also getting a boat ride in on lake George.
The highlight of any Uganda trip has to be watching Gorilla's in the wild. Bwindi National park is made up of dense forest vegetation. Thanks to ‘spotters’ who go out many hours before you venture on your gorilla trip it is possible to pin point a gorilla family in advance. We were fortunate as we only had to walk 30min to get to them. An incredible sight watching silverbacks climbing through the tree and shrubbery! Staying in the forest for two nights was so atmospheric. Crossing through into Rwanda was relatively easy. At the time of my trip the visa was free for UK citizens and acquired at the land border crossing. For Uganda make sure you get a visa well in advance of your planned arrival.
In Rwanda I did a golden monkey trip and then we drove through to Kilgali for my hotel.
I would recommend Semu Gorilla Safries.
You can ask to change your itinerary and build an itinerary to suit your needs.
Semu Gorilla Safaris and Tours delivers the highest service possible
Semu Gorilla Safaris and Tours is great on the level of communications, e-mail and telephone calls will be handled quickly. We very like the PDF document that Semu Gorilla Safaris and Tours provided and sends that includes all details of a personal plan for the gorilla trekking we had. Wonderful delivered and much appreciated.

Excelente Safari Tour
I had an excellent experience with Semu Gorilaz. The service was great, and they delivered exactly what was promised. Jimmy, our guide, was very kind and took care of every detail from the very beginning. Additionally, he is very knowledgeable about birds. Since my English is not very strong, he always made sure to clarify any doubts I had.
Junior (practicing) was very kind and also helped me a lot.
100% recomended.
