Ever a lifetime to watch Gorillas in the wild, something I found more interesting is the the Batwa culture experience. Many years ago these great apes lived together in the wild until of recent when they were separated. Until now, pygmies Batwa, live a distinctive life to human, i.e. ther culture is wild related Very interesting and painful culture. Always ask your trip organizer to include it on your package. Or contact local tour guide ANGEL NIWAMANYA at Buhoma gate, he has excellent information about the Forest and Batwa

My 3-Day Gorilla Trek adventure with Inspire African Safari's began long before i arrived in Uganda. From the moment i messaged Richard online, their service and pricing was second to non. I had reached out to three tour companies to try and organise a tailored tour and found the service provided by IAS to be miles above the rest. Richard makes himself available 24/7 to his clients. While i frantically tried to sort out my East African Visa, Richard provided guidance and assurance and took care of the trip details so i didn't have to worry, responding to me even on Christmas Day. From pick up at my hotel in Entebbe, to the most enjoyable journey down to the forrest at Bwindi which i shared with two amazing guides in Isaac and Alex, i could not have had a better experience. The highlight of course was the trek to see the Gorillas. This could never disappoint any traveller. Simply amazing and very well organised. Being so close to a Silverback and seeing their raw power really sends chills down your back . My accomodation was well above my budget expectations. I could not help but think as i sat there in camp deep in the heart of Africa with no internet, no distractions and no noise, that this is how life was meant to be. Us as one with nature. I was hesotant to go on the Batwa Cultural experience. I was assured by the organised guide that it would be hassle free. This made the whole experience very pleasurable for me and i was more than happy to leave a small donation to the Batwa people. Well worth the visit. At the end of the trip, Richard arranged for me to be dropoed off in Kigali, Rwanda. Another personal touch that i was grateful for so that i didn't have to make the 10hr drive back to Entebbe Uganda has won my heart in so many ways. I just want to thank Inspire African Safari's for allowing me to have this bucket list experience. Very few tour operators offer this kind of personal service and i know for me it made all the difference. You and your team inspire me to see more of Africa and i will be sure to bring my family back with me to Uganda in 2024. Keep providing those extra little touches, they make a world of difference to a traveller ️

This safari is everyone's dream, I couldn't believe my self infront of the giant silverback 🦍 gorilla, the whole experience was amazing from start to finish and most importantly my guide was amazing, the silverback was just watching us and the juvenile made fun of us he was waiting to see anyone who dares to touch the baby, this is a trip worthy every dollar despite the permit being abit expensive 700 in Uganda by government but it's worth more than Rwanda which sells x2 the price in Uganda, after I secured my permit Richard had to reserve everything for me and I paid the rest on arrival. I loved the Van with a full time deep freezer to take cold water whenever needed, it was 3 days of super experience and if your looking for a gorilla experience here you goo.

It was my son who suggested we should spend our vacation in Uganda and so we had to look for a tour company that can be trusted. A friend who once visited Uganda recommended Inspire African Safaris and so we emailed them. Manager Richard handled our booking and he replied every email in time, we selected a package that was 3days Bwindi because my wife always wanted to carryout the gorilla trekking activity. When we reached Entebbe airport, Isaac the guide picked us up in a luxury safari vehicle and took us to the hotel and we were all more than excited about the whole trip. The entire trip was on point and the guide was very punctual and very informed. We got the exact package we booked for and the accommodation was very nice. Thank you Mr. Richard for giving us the trip we always wished for and we're highly looking forward to exploring more with your company. You all should trust Inspire African Safaris with your trip around Uganda.

This was my dream until I got a offer from this company website, at first was like am afraid of booking directly for known reasons but because the company offered PayPal payments I gave it confidence because I knew for anything PayPal will refund me. I had the chance to travel with Richard himself and he gave me a shirt as a souvenir which actually added to my experience. The Gorillaz were very huge and the silverback pushed me away from its path which was thrilling, my experience will never be forgotten and I will leave to share the story to my grand kids, I traveled in a very luxurious Van and I slept at Rushaga gorilla camp which was five stars for me. This safari is surely unequalled and I loved the batwa dances and tree house, everything was professionally organized and with God I shall return surely.

A morning of memories in the jungle, the rain took over the morning as we were being briefed for our gorilla trekking. The day was so cool and everything felt fresh and interesting. My best friend and I started our hiking as we were being given more information about the flora and fauna in Bwindi forest. As we encountered the mountain gorillas it was such a memorable moment as we took pics and vids of them carrying out their day to day activities. Can't thank Inspire Safaris enough for their well planning of our trip and the guide who was so well informed and wasn't boring at all. Every moment at the trip was just perfect, Uganda the beauty of its own.

Booked my safari way back in 2020 but because of the covid-19 pandemic I couldn't travel during that time. Manager Richard made sure that he reschedules my trip on a favourable date and it happened. I enjoyed every bit of the safari starting from the hospitable guide that picked me at the airport. During my gorilla trekking activity it abruptly rained and the trails were all slippery and i really enjoyed that great experience in the jungle. Everything was well planned and on point thanks to Inspire African safaris for being trustworthy and organised.

There's nothing more cute like Gorilla tracking, this is what my dream was and so happy that Richard managed to prepare this safari for me at the last minute. Thank you and you're the best, we will come back again. My lodge was nice and meals were tasty , I stayed at rushaga gorilla camp and the staff was so nice and the view of the forest is another experience.

When you hear gorilla tracking it alone, it sounds like a simple tracking, but inspire organized my safari and surely I got the best experience, after like 1 hour of hiking the most difficult terrain we met a group of gorillas which welcomed us anyway, the juveniles were so excited and they made stants for us, I spend there an hour with othet guests we were 8 in the group but the experience is never before, one thing I can assure you, Do gorilla tracking and you will live to remember , Uganda is so amazing, My driver was so informative, friendly, and the best actually, Richard is fun and am happy we shall be friends forever. Hope to be back soon.

Inspire African Safaris is an absolutely sensational and above all a reliable company. I had the opportunity to stay with them, and especially with Richard - a manager, guide and driver at the same time - on a trip for animals in Uganda. Richard is absolutely reliable, willing, able to arrange anything operatively. And I'm not talking about the experience of meeting mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and other animals on safari. These are all unforgettable experiences! Thanks Richard !!!

Seeing gorillas was my dream come true.. I can't imagine how I am so happy to see Gorillas. We tracked in a group of 8 people and finally saw Gorillas, Saw over 20 members with Babies which came to me and passed on my legs ooh I loved it. The tour was 7 days and very interesting, all parts of the tour was so amazing and I loved my guide Richard from this inspire company. Thank you Richard for the Great advise you gave us to tracker the Bitukula Group. So amazing.. You're great.

I just finished a 3 day trip to gorillas in uganda with Richard himself, I really had great time with him. The journey was long but enjobale. I was alone in the Van but I met other guys there and we had tracking 8 people, The tracking was nice and also the Batwa was cute, very welcoming dances. Rushaga Camp was the best lodge and my forest view cottage was specious. This trip is worthy a purchase because these 3 days can give you lifetime memories. if you can't find what your looking for, mail them they reply so fast I must say. I really recommend them.

The gorilla tracking and Batwa cultural experience I did it with inspire safaris and it was ok, we travelled a distance to find lodge but I was active and I don't fill the journey, lodge was good and they were welcoming, I enjoyed the fresh air from forest. We hiked the mountain to find gorillas and the activity was compatible with my body fitness, we meet the gorillas deep inside the forest, they were calm, enjoying greens. We were explained how gorillas live in the forest and there relationship with other creatures in the forest. I experienced Batwa culture which was full of new and unique things to me such as there tradition dance which needed a lot of energy to perform. There style of life was very unique and far deferent from ours in simple they live a very simple life. The guide did his best and managed yo conduct every activity succefully, so thanks Richard and inspire African safaris , so I would recommend inspire safaris to travellers planning to track gorillas in uganda.

Inspire Safari’s made our trip magical! Milly was so helpful organizing our trip from behind the scenes. She made everything go smoothly, and even gave us surprises! I had asked a lot from this tour company, as we had very specific and unusual needs (we are a group of researchers and we were filming a documentary). They really went out of their way to meet our needs and surpass our expectations! I’ve toured a lot in Africa, and these trips usually take a lot of patience and grace. Communication and service are usually poor. With Inspire Safaris you get the best service, best lodging, and lots of fun too! They helped us streamline our Covid test too for our flight out, and were very generous with us in all ways. Richard (our guide) was so patient and kind with us! We just love him, and feel that we’ve made a friend for life. I will be booking many more trips with Inspire Safaris, and I highly recommend you do too!
