Traveller Reviews

  • Gorilla Forest Camp and our trek was absolutely spectacular and as expected, a very big highlight of our time in Africa. Our room stewart, Michael, was spectacular and we became very fond of him instantly. What a treat to have a room stewart!

    Lois Kelley, October 2012

  • The two nights at Gorilla Forest camp was very enjoyable. Good accommodation, meals very good, good service , everything working. Gorilla tracking : we were able to join a 'short track' group with another same age couple: within an hour we were within a gorilla family where we encountered 14 out of the 17 family members. That one hour (on the minute) was one of the most amazing experiences that we have had in Africa so far. Worth the entire journey. Rangers helpful and extremely friendly. Less demanding than Kibale , but perhaps this was luck.

  • The Gorilla Forest Camp was a wonderful experience. The staff, accommodations, the food all were exceptional. In addition, to our benefit there were very few guests there and we received very individual attention.

    Robert Silon, October 2010

  • Gorilla Forest Lodge was just delightful. Great location, great facilities. It was very comfortable without the over-the-top feel that some camps get.

    Robert England, August 2010

  • Of course, the highlight. I managed to survive the trek to see the Susa group and was never so happy to see a gorilla in my life! Who could imagine watching gorillas in their natural habitat? It was almost surreal.
