EXCELLENT Based on 30 reviews Posted on Stephanie WongVerified A MARVELlous Gorilla Adventure experience! I spent 8 unforgettable days traveling with Marvel Gorilla Adventure. Originally, I had planned just 4–6 days to see the gorillas and chill at Lake Bunyonyi, but thanks to Herbert’s efficiency in planning and flexibility with my last-minute booking and changes, I ended up with a perfectly tailored 8-day itinerary that fit my budget and exceeded my expectations. This was all booked within 24hrs and only 2 days before i headed off for my 8 day adventure. From the very first morning, when Zack and Bob cheerfully picked me up at 6:30am, I felt completely looked after. They made sure I was comfortable, kept my coffee, wine, and cigarette stash in check, and always found authentic local food spots along the way for our lunches. Their warmth and friendliness made every moment enjoyable. Both of them were incredibly knowledgeable—Bob like an encyclopaedia of Uganda’s wildlife, culture, and landscapes, and Zack a constant beam of positivity. Their sharp eyes were astonishing, spotting elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, warthogs, and countless birds long before I could find them with binoculars and were so patient when I could not spot something in front of me and they had to really point many times or move my head to the right direction. 😅 Some of my favourite memories was went they spot something, ask me to sit and hang tight and we drove off because they spotted animal action like lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos about to cross the road! It was just like watching a Nat Geo documentary but Live! I will always remember the beaming look on Zack and Bob when I was out of the forest after spending time with the gorillas because they were so happy for me! They were like the dynamic duo! I was so lucky to have them both! Besides the wildlife experience, I loved the meal times meals and stories with this dynamic duo. They added to my amazing experience filling it with excitement, learnings and friendship. Saying goodbye was bittersweet—I miss them already—but as the saying goes, don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Marvel Gorilla Adventure gave me memories I’ll cherish forever, and I can’t recommend them highly enough for your next trip to Uganda - be it a trek to the waterfalls, the game drives and of course the amazing gorilla adventure!Posted on Departure39308121187Verified Fantastic experience! What a beautiful experience! Marvel helped us to organize the entire trip, from airport pickup to a road trip where they accommodated every single one of our stop requests (beer, beer, beer!), and stayed at lodges with breathtaking views. The safari and gorilla trekking were incredible and unique experience.Posted on Thomas TVerified Gorillas, safari and a lot of fun Kherbert (aka Marvel) has been a fantastic guide, ranger and driver who managed to organize a smooth and enjoyable trip in line with our limited available time. From border crossing to local restaurants and from sharing fun facts to accommodating our special needs, we always felt safe and in very good hands! Highly recommended!Posted on Andrea RVerified Gorilla trekking Thanks to Marvel we had the possibility to experience the encounter with Gorillas in Bwindy impenetrable forest. Everything has been organized perfectly, from the transfers, to the hotels booking, Safari etc. Best guide in all Africa, I really suggest booking a trip with Marvel ♥️Posted on Michele GVerified Uganda, we’ll be back 🇺🇬🖤 Our journey in Uganda was a powerful, authentic, and deeply moving experience. Guided by our true hero, Marvel, we lived moments that will stay with us forever. The trekking experience in Bwindi was the beating heart of the adventure: walking through the forest, surrounded by mud, silence, and anticipation, until the unforgettable encounter with the gorillas. Spending time in their magnificent presence, observing them up close in their natural habitat, was an extraordinary privilege, humbling and emotional beyond words. We also enjoyed three unique safaris in Queen Elizabeth National Park, each one different and breathtaking in its own way. Between adventures, we embraced the rhythm of Africa with well-deserved beer beer beer breaks moments to relax, reflect, and share the excitement of the day. What truly made this experience even more special was the Ugandan people: warm, welcoming, kind, and genuinely generous. Professional, perfectly organized, and authentic in every detail.Posted on GrigioVerified Uganda, we’ll be back 🇺🇬🖤 Our journey in Uganda was far more than just a safari — it was a powerful, authentic, and deeply moving experience.

Меня забрали утром в Кигали и отвезли в парк Бвинди, а на следующий день вернули обратно в Кигали в отель. Тур гид Закеаус (Zacheaus) и водитель Кендрик (Kendrick) были внимательными, полное сопровождение везде. Как девушка, путешествующая в одиночестве я чувствовала себя в безопасности. Невероятно классный опыт сходить в джунгли и посмотреть на горилл в их естественной среде обитания. Everything went perfectly according to the tour itinerary. I was picked up in Kigali in the morning and taken to Bwindi National Park and the next day I was returned to my hotel in Kigali. Tour guide Zacheaus and driver Kendrick were attentive and fully supported throughout. As a girl traveling alone I felt safe. It's an incredibly cool experience to go into the jungle and see gorillas in their natural habitat.Posted on Alberto CVerified Mejor experiencia en África Increíble ver a los gorilas y los monos dorados. Khebert y Lili fueron guías fantásticos. El trato, la experiencia, el hotel, todo fue de maravilla!Posted on Isabel AVerified Amazing experience with Marvel Gorilla Adventure! We had an unforgettable trip with Marvel Gorilla Adventure to see mountain gorillas and golden monkeys in Uganda. Everything was perfectly organized, from the logistics to the accommodations. Our guides, Khebert and Lilly, were fantastic—professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Lilly spoke Spanish, which was a big plus for our group and made everything even more enjoyable. The gorilla trek was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and seeing the golden monkeys was the cherry on top. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly special adventure!Posted on Manon CVerified Unforgettable experience If it was possible, I would rate this tour operator a 10/10! We (my 2 friends + myself) made quite a last-minute trip to Uganda and had limited budget, but Herbert managed to still exceed all of our expectations and made us fall in love with this beautiful country and its nature. Herbert is a very kind, thoughtful and professional guide and you will feel so safe and relaxed during the whole adventure. Furthermore, Herbert takes beautiful pictures of the clients and the animals! Our driver was Bob, also very kind and very professional, and besides that he’s very funny and playful too. He made us all laugh so many times! Herbert and Bob made this an unforgettable trip and I would recommend them to everyone!
