Unforgettable Safari Experience with Outstanding Service and Accommodations I had the privilege of participating in the 4 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking, Chimps, Big 5 & Big Cats Safari from November 25–28, 2024, and it exceeded every expectation. Our guide, Emma, was exceptional—personable, knowledgeable, and always ensuring we made the most of every moment during our short four days. The highlight of the trip was the gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. We were fortunate to get remarkably close to a family of ten gorillas, including the dominant Silverback, whose expressive movements were mesmerizing to watch. It was a truly awe-inspiring and humbling experience. The accommodations were unique yet luxurious, offering a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in Uganda's natural beauty. After long days of adventure, the cozy lodges provided a peaceful retreat. The food was excellent—freshly prepared and made to order, with plenty of variety to suit everyone’s tastes. The itinerary was well-paced, balancing adventurous activities like chimpanzee tracking in Kalinzu and a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel with opportunities to relax and soak in the stunning landscapes. The warm hospitality of the Ugandan people added even more to this unforgettable trip. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Devine African Safaris, and especially Emma, delivered an exceptional journey with great care and attention to detail.

Unforgettable National Parks Tour & Gorilla Trekking Adventure! I recently went on an incredible tour through several national parks, including an unforgettable gorilla trekking experience. This trip was a perfect blend of adventure and comfort, and I can’t recommend it enough. Emma, the guide, was absolutely fantastic. He is highly experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about the wildlife and landscapes we encountered. On top of that, he was friendly, approachable, and had a great sense of humor, which kept me entertained throughout the journey. His insights and personal anecdotes made the long drives between destinations fly by. The gorilla trekking itself was nothing short of magical. Getting to observe these magnificent creatures up close in their natural habitat was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s something I'll never forget! The places we stayed during the tour were another highlight. Each accommodation was not only comfortable but also offered top-notch service. The staff at every lodge was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and helpful, making sure we felt right at home. After long days of exploration, coming back to cozy lodges with great food and friendly service was just what I needed. While some of the drives between parks were quite long, they were scenic and enjoyable, thanks to the beautiful landscapes and our guide’s engaging stories. Overall, this tour was a perfect mix of adventure, wildlife, and relaxation. If you’re considering a trip that includes gorilla trekking and national parks, this one is an absolute must!
