This was my first round in Uganda and I was pleasantly surprised. The service provided by our tour operator was very reliable and we got our money’s worth, and on top of all that we got to see the gorillas which made the trip fantastic!
Dan
Totally amazing. I will never ever forget this beautiful experience
Giorgio Teresi
Communication with the company has been good at all times. They are responsive and nice. The service was very good, as it was the value for money compared to other tour operators. Jimmy has always been kind and on time, and gave us a wonderful tour of Ugandan's forests in the south.
Ché
I would recommend them 100%. They’re responsive when planning & booking, and provide on-time transportation & information during the tour. My driver was friendly and knowledgeable, the organisers clear. The trip to and back from Uganda was smooth, with easy border control passage and the Bwindi tour itself fruitful, having spotted a family of gorillas just 15 minutes into the trek.
Rashida

Great guide - amazing experience! We completed a 1 day Gorilla trek from Kigali, Rwanda to Bwindi NP. It was an early start but well worth it! Jimmy, our driver was fantastic, a lovely, friendly man who answered any questions we had.
Brandon
Professional and very accommodating, with a great depth of knowledge about MFNP My three day Murchison Falls NP adventure with guide Jimmy was an incredible few days seeing so much wildlife, as well as the fantastic falls on the Victoria Nile. His knowledge of the area, and where the animals would be, meant we saw a large number of lions, elephants, giraffes, antelope, monkeys and many different bird species. His professionalism and reliability, as well as flexibility in the program to optimize opportunities and time available, made it a memorable and action packed few days. I would highly recommend Jimmy and Semu Gorilla Safaris and Tours to make the most of a visit to MFNP
