Very friendly organisers, everything was on time, easy to contact and no worries at all

The one day gorila tour was perfect. We had the best time. Tour organisation was very easy (we booked the tour last minute and they managed to get the permitions on time, organisers were very flexible with the tour date). The driver was very friendly, perfect english. The trip from Kigali to the trek place was comfortable and safe. The gorila treking and all team eho went with us were amazing. We had the best trip in the jungle, they explained a lot about all the plants and animals here. And the best part of course was gorillas🥰 we went to see family of 13gorillas and saw all of them from a very short distance. We highly recomment this one day itour for everyone who whants to feel the jungle and have an extraordinary chance to see gorillas👍👍👍

Fully catered experience

We had a great time with our guide! He was very good at finding the animals while in the park. We also really appreciated that the company catered to our wishes - being able to add both the rhino trekking and chimpanzee trekking. Both are very much recommended add ons. Seeing the chimpanzees was an unforgettable experience. The only let down was the hotel outside Murchison. We stayed at Parkside safari lodge. Even though it was a budget hotel we had expected more. Food especially was below standard. Cleanliness at the hotel was below standard and the service was sub pair.

Amazing experience with this gorilla trek tour

We had an unforgettable gorilla trek experience! Big shoutout to our incredible guide and driver Bosco. He was friendly, and made the journey smooth and enjoyable. Huge thanks also to Tim, our trip organizer, for putting everything together so perfectly. The accommodation was outstanding, with breathtaking views of the mountains which is the perfect place to relax after the trek.

Top quality tour operator!

I enjoyed everything about my three Murchison Falls safari with Galactic Safaris. Communication with Tim prior to the tour was timely and polite. He really helped me to plan my trip to Uganda and answered all my questions in great detail. This helped to put my mind at ease. My guide for the tour was a wonderful gentleman named Bosco. He made the whole experience unforgettable! During the game drives we had an opportunity to see lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes and many other animals. He was highly informed and gave me many interesting facts about the animals and park. I had specifically requested a room at Fort Murchison resort and Tim was able to fulfil my request. Everything was well planned and the meals were delicious. It was a private safari and Bosco was great company through the three days. I left Uganda with many happy memories. Galactic Safaris is truly a gem of a tour operator with good, honest and helpful staff. I would recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Uganda. No hidden costs and clear communication!

Silver my driver was wonderful, and made sure I was taken care of and having a great time.

Galactic Safaris was and absolutely amazing experience. I did the 6 day primate safari and it was one of the best trips of my life. The whole time my driver made sure I was comfortable and taken care of, and seeing all the sights Uganda and Rwanda have to offer. He was always nearby and willing to make extra stops or drive me other places that I wanted to see. It was a great value for the cost, and didn’t feel like a budget safari at all. All the bookings were done well in advance and had no issues with any of the treks or experiences. The accommodations were also wonderful, all the staff were friendly and very comfortable places. The administrators were also incredibly helpful and always available on short notice in case I had any questions before or during the safari. Overall would absolutely come back to Galactic and would definitely recommend.

Great experience

We did the 1 day gorilla trek in Bwindi NP from Kigali. It was a 4 hour drive each way with made the day long but it’s well worth it to be able to trek for the mountain gorillas. Being able to do it in 1 day from Kigali was convenient for us as we didn’t have to spend a few days making out own way to where the trek begins in Uganda. Got some fantastic photos of the mountain gorillas. And our driver/ guide for the day, Alex was very helpful and fun.
