How We Create Effortless Gorilla Safaris
With almost a decade of experience exploring and working in East Africa, we’ve had the privilege of leading groups through Uganda, Rwanda and beyond. We’ve crafted unique gorilla itineraries across Uganda and Rwanda, a region we hold dear and feel deeply connected to. There’s something undeniably captivating about East Africa that draws us back time and time again.
Our travels are about more than just exploring; they’re about gaining perspective, broadening our understanding of the world, and discovering our place within it.
East Africa is a land full of surprises, and while it can present its challenges, our mission is to ensure you face as little hassle as possible. We’re here to guide you every step of the way, helping you navigate and enjoy the beauty of this part of the continent. With our deep knowledge of the region, we’re able to design and deliver extraordinary adventures that are seamless, unforgettable, and truly unique.
We’ll work with you to craft an itinerary that reflects your tastes, interests, and travel style. No matter if you’re new to safari travel or a seasoned adventurer, we’ll tailor everything to your desires, ensuring your gorilla trip is exactly what you envisioned—or even something beyond what you’d imagined.
How to Start Planning Your African Safari
We encourage you to reach out to us as early as possible to discuss your travel plans. The sooner we begin, the better we can help you choose the perfect gorilla safari experience. Availability and the specifics of your trip will guide how we create your itinerary, and we’re happy to offer as many options as necessary until we’ve got it just right. Since gorilla accommodation and flights can book up quickly, especially during peak seasons, it’s wise to consider your plans sooner rather than later.
We take the time to understand your needs, offering clear, honest, and personalized advice. With our extensive knowledge of the routes and experiences, we help you find the gorilla safari that best matches your vision.
We specialize in bespoke, high-quality gorilla safaris away from the crowds. Whether you’re planning your very first gorilla safari or seeking something new and off the beaten path, we’ll craft an experience that suits your unique preferences. Even if you only have a vague idea of what you want, we’re happy to start the conversation at any stage of your planning.
Once we’ve finalized your gorilla tour itinerary, we’ll provide a detailed quote. To secure your trip, simply complete our booking form and submit it with a 40% deposit. The final balance is due 12 weeks before departure. We accept payment by debit/credit card, or bank transfer.
Here’s How We Make Your Trip Seamless
1. Share Your Dream Safari
Start by telling us your rough idea — travel dates, number of travelers, destination interests, and preferred activities. This doesn’t have to be perfect! A sketch is all we need to begin.
2. Let’s Talk – We Get to Know You
We’ll set up a call to understand your travel personality. We’ll ask about your past travels, style, interests, and budget. Then, our safari expert will follow up to fine-tune the details you might have missed. By the end of this phase, we’ll know exactly what kind of journey will suit you best.
3. We Craft and Refine Your Personalised Safari
Next, we get to work — selecting the right lodges, planning the most efficient routes, and maximizing your time for game viewing. You’ll receive a detailed proposed itinerary with estimated costs within 1–2 days. From there, we’ll refine everything together — flights, activities, dining, special permits, and more — down to the last detail.
4. Confirm, Prepare & Go!
Once you’re happy with everything, we confirm all bookings with a 40% deposit (and full payment for gorilla, chimpanzee, and golden monkey permits). We’ll send you a preparation package with your itinerary, packing list, and contact details. Two weeks before departure, you’ll receive your final travel documents.
While on safari, we stay in touch to ensure everything runs smoothly. Need anything? Your guide and our team are always a call away. And once you’re back — we’d love to hear your story!
