GALACTICA SUPER TOP!!!! SUPER HAPPY WITH OUR CHOICE! // SPECTACULAR CHOICE HEHEJE - Unbelievable. I and my mother did this tour. Alex is an amazing guide, more than a guide because they helped us really in everything, even two and three days later helping us manage transport and other parks. And Timothy a good manager, fast, attentive and reliable. We booked the tour from Kigali, Alex slept under our hotel so we wouldn't be late. We arrived in Bwindi around 8AM and were lucky enough to see the gorillas right away. The gorillas ended up going out to the car park! literally! The Rangers told us there was only once in two years. My mother was very very happy. After the activity, still impressed, Alex offered us an extra experience: going to visit a Pygmy community that was around for a very affordable price. Really, Alex was a spectacular guide, then we went to eat at Kabale and since we didn't want to go back to Kigali, we stayed at Kabale. He helped us find a hotel and the next day we asked Timothy and Alex to manage local transport to Kasese, near Queen Elizabeth. In addition, we were recommended a tour operator there in Queen Elizabeth, also, economical and reliable (we went my mother and I for this NP, with the best car, alone and for a super super super competitive price, thanks to Timothy's management recommended by a friend of his) AMAZING. Bottom line: we are very happy to have chosen Galactica Safaris and stay in touch with Alex and Timothy, we are still in Uganda and when we have questions about transport, logistics or parks, we still ask them and they guide us in the distance. Galactica Safaris, great, thanks. A hug, guys!

Wonderful experience with Galactic Safari! - travelled to Uganda with Galactic Safari and had an amazing time. Tim was incredibly quick and precise in answering every question, making the whole planning process effortless. A huge thank‑you to our guide, the unforgettable Bosco — fun, kind, always present, and endlessly patient. He picked us up in Kigali and accompanied us throughout the entire journey, making everything smoother and even more enjoyable. Uganda is a stunning country, and I truly hope to return soon. When I do, I’ll definitely choose Galactic Safari again.

Amazing, galactic and Tour!!! - We had a perfect unforgettable 5 day Safari with the best guide Bosco! He was so friendly, helpful and did a great job taking care of us. The gorillas and chimpanzes were amazing. Everything was very good organized. The food was really good and we met many great people (Tourguides, Rangers...). All of the staff was really attentive, helpful and friendly. The communication via WhatsApp was really easy and there was always a fast response, thanks to Tim. We can definitely recommend this tour company and hope to do a tour again with them one day.

Bwindi Gorilla Trekking from Kigali for 2 days - I have travelled to around 120 countries, and these two days have been particularly memorable. My main objective was gorilla trekking, but I made the trip from Kigali and made sure to visit the desired sightseeing spots in the city. The staff were friendly and very kind and friendly. As the trip was short, I was satisfied with the gorilla trekking and sightseeing in Kigali in two days, which made the most of my time. Thank you very much to the GalacticSafaris staff for their involvement in this trip.

An amazing experience! It's definitely a must 🤗 - I have only great things to say. One of the best tours I've ever been on! They were so catering towards us and really did the most, so that we can enjoy what Uganda has to offer. Our driver Ema (Emanuel) was so cool and we had a great time and so much fun with him as our tour guide. From fantastic driving, to accommodation, to their culture, and just having fun with him in general. He wanted us to see as much as we could manage and more. I hiiiiighly recommend 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Best experience!!! - The one day gorila tour was perfect. We had the best time. Tour organisation was very easy (we booked the tour last minute and they managed to get the permitions on time, organisers were very flexible with the tour date). The driver was very friendly, perfect english. The trip from Kigali to the trek place was comfortable and safe. The gorila treking and all team eho went with us were amazing. We had the best trip in the jungle, they explained a lot about all the plants and animals here. And the best part of course was gorillas🥰 we went to see family of 13gorillas and saw all of them from a very short distance. We highly recomment this one day itour for everyone who whants to feel the jungle and have an extraordinary chance to see gorillas👍👍
