Very nice Safari organization!
Kyooma Gorilla Safaries organized a great safari for me and my family. Connection with them was excellent through all the process. The quality of the safari was excellent and the price was reasonable. The driver was kind and great driver.

Welcoming, kind and detailed oriented
I really enjoyed working with Kyooma Gorilla Safaris. I worked with them to visit the golden monkeys in Rwanda and to hike Mt. Bisoke. I reached out to many different companies to get quotes. Kyooma and Mwije (the office rep) was wonderful and listened to what I wanted to do within my budget. They definitely were the cheapest in terms of price of all those contacted, but not in the quality of experience. From start to finish they helped me plan a great and comfortable experience. I wanted to see crater lake on top of Mt. Bisoke and they made it happen. I had all the information I needed to experience my trip with ease. Blair was my driver and he was GREAT! I really enjoyed his company for the 2 days. Had lots of laughs and great conversations. He didn’t mind that I took a bit longer to hike and eat before departing back to Kigali. Loved learning from Blair about the work and his life in Uganda. I have zero bad things to say about Kyooma Gorilla Safaris. I would 100% work with them again!

2 Day Gorilla Trekking
Had an excellent experience with Muhwezi on my 2 day trip. I was looking for a quick add on to an existing trip to Kigali. Kyooma was quick and efficient to respond to my booking request and delivered everything I asked for. Muhwezi was there to pick me up right on time and we had a wonderful two days with the Gorillas in Uganda. Accommodations were delightful and vehicle was top notch.
