Gorilla Trekking Safaris Travel Agents & Reviews

The trip was fantastic - everything went smoothly and was efficient and as detailed in our itinerary. Melanie was very thorough - even setting up a briefing call for us to review the itinerary and details. She checked in frequently on various forms and requirements, as well as when we were in-country. 

Dan and Mandy from the travel agency are absolutely incredible to work with. We reached out for help planning our honeymoon. We didn't reach out in the most timely fashion and were incredibly stressed with wedding planning when we did. I had 1 conversation with Dan and that was all he needed to put together our absolute dream honeymoon. He somehow read my mind in ~20 minutes, made us feel incredibly comfortable traveling to a part of the world we had never been and immediately put us at ease that we were in good hands. Dan and Mandy helped us with every single step to make sure we were prepared for the trip so we could simply relax and enjoy it. They answered multiple rounds of questions and were flexible while providing their input as we finalized the details of our trip. Every detail was handled while we were on our trip and it felt like we had really good friends (with incredible taste in travel that we look up to) on the journey with us. We cannot recommend using the travel team to book your trip enough - these guys will be dealing with us for decades to come. 

If you are considering an outfitter to plan a trip to Africa, I cannot express strongly enough how much you should consider this travel agency!  I just returned from a 2-week “trip of a lifetime” safari that was originally scheduled to start one-week before the global lockdown.  My travel planner had created the most incredible trip to Tanzania to see the Serengeti and then to Rwanda to see the mountain gorillas. I was not sure how they would be able to handle the lock-down given the unknowns of travel for an unknown period of time.  The long-term nature of this travel company's relationships with their vendors coupled with the professionalism and integrity of their company resulted in the trip being rescheduled (a few times) without really any increase in costs and at the same exceptional accommodations and itinerary. The camps I stayed at were exquisite (5 star) and gave me such a personal feel of different ways to experience the Serengeti.  The personal guides in both Tanzania and Rwanda were beyond my expectations in their knowledge, passion, and dedication to supporting an exceptional client experience. Additionally, this travel company demonstrated at every step of the trip their personal commitment to ensure I felt safe and secure (given Covid concerns/requirements and unfamiliarity with the countries), and supported 24/7 with every question, no matter how small or large.   I hope to return to Africa again… and I would ONLY use this travel company.  Please consider them… and just give them a call.  From the very first contact, I knew this was the company with whom I wanted to build my trip of a lifetime adventure.  

The trip was absolutely wonderful.  Thanks to our travel planner and guide, we were able to fit so much adventure into 12 days.  Communication was always prompt and our planner quickly answered all of our questions leading up to and during the trip.  The transfer from our Kenya guide to our Uganda guide was seamless. We realized an issue with logistics on the last few days a few days into our flight and our planner helped us solve it quickly. The only thing I would suggest they do differently:  Our communication leading up to the Uganda portion of the trip was with the operations manager.  We didn't meet our guide (or know that it wasn't the operations manager) until the morning we left for Kibale.  It would have been nice to have some communication with our guide beforehand, as there were a couple things on the itinerary (prepared by the manger) that our guide seemed not to know anything about (namely a game drive in Queen Elizabeth park).

Our trip was spectacular- everything we hoped it would be. Originally planned for 2020 and postponed twice, our travel advisor, Andre, was incredibly helpful, flexible, and patient. My husband and I travelled with our daughter, son-in-law and 2 teenage grandkids. It was a great mix of history, adventure, local cuisine, and a safari the was beyond all expectations.

Our honeymoon trip to Kenya and the Seychelles was seamless thanks to this travel company. Diana was extremely knowledgeable about the safari experience and the camps and made great suggestions about how to split our time. Every transfer was planned out, making the trip stress-free at every step of the way. Diana and Nell were extremely responsive and professional throughout the whole booking process.

Fantastic trip and the holiday of a lifetime. Every connection worked and we were provided with everything we could have wished for to a very high standard.
