5.0/5It was lovely to meet a family of beautiful gorillas. I hope they continue to conserve them and promote ecological restoration in neighboring farmland areas to increase the area where these incredible animals live.

I had great time with guide Denis. After great trek, he took me to lokal school, where children had ready great dancing and singing show for me. After that he took me for Ugandian dinner, which was included in price.

My family and I had the privilege of experiencing an unforgettable journey with Denis, our amazing guide from Mousana Tours. Our trip began with a three-day safari to Murchison Falls National Park, where we had the chance to see four of "The Big Five" and many other animals in their natural habitat. The highlights included the magnificent waterfall and a relaxing boat ride on the Nile. It was an experience we will cherish forever. Denis was an outstanding guide – always attentive, humble, and dedicated. His knowledge and friendly demeanor made the entire trip even more memorable and enjoyable. After our safari, my sister and I continued on to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to see the majestic mountain gorillas – a lifelong dream come true. This is truly an experience everyone should have at least once in their lifetime. Despite the long drive from Kampala, it was worth every single minute. During our stay, we lodged at Bweza Lodge, a wonderfully located place in the national park. The service at the lodge was exceptional – undoubtedly some of the best I have ever experienced. A big thank you to the staff for your warmth and hospitality; you made our stay absolutely incredible. Finally, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Denis for taking such great care of us throughout this magical journey. Your kindness, professionalism, and inspiring personality made everything so much better. We are grateful to have shared these memories with you. We highly recommend Mousana Tours to anyone looking to experience Africa's incredible wildlife and culture in the best way possible. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

My husband and I joined Musana Tours for their 7-Day Mgahinga Gorillas Lake Bunyonyi & Queen Elizabeth tour for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Richard drove us to Uganda and back and was fun and informative. Dennis was our guide for the week in Uganda and was super kind and accommodating. Other than Lake Bunyoni (fine but not our preference as a bit slow) the week was really special. Highlights were gorilla trekking in Bwindi forest (loved the lush misty rain forest experience and of course the close encounter with the family of gorillas), the golden monkeys was a surprisingly serene and beautiful experience in the bamboo part of the Mgahinga forest, and the final accommodation in the Kazinga Wilderness camp was so good! It’s within the park so you don’t have to go far for the animal experience. We had hippos come to dinner the second night (safely below a raised open restaurant) and water bucks, buffalo and wart hogs the next morning. The boat experience in the channel in Queen Elizabeth Park was so good. We didn’t expect much but got to experience so much wildlife up close including elephants, hippos, water buffalos, and a lone hyena digging into the bank. We may have gotten lucky there. We also got a few special lion experiences in the park for the driving part. Overall I’d say the tour was good value for money and is a great option for someone looking for a fairly priced private experience.
