"It was a wonderful experience. We saw the gorillas up close, and got great photos. We also went to Lake Mburo National Park. He we saw giraffes and zebras, hippos and warthogs. We also saw baboons and other animals. It was an amazing experience. We even got to get out of the safari vehicles to get even better photos. Jennifer W"

"I traveled with Bashem Safaris Tours & Travel in 2024, and it was truly one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment the trip began, everything was exceptionally well organized, and the service exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Paul, was outstanding. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and highly experienced. His passion for wildlife, conservation, and the local culture made every game drive and trek both educational and exciting. He always ensured we were comfortable, safe, and in the best locations to enjoy the incredible wildlife. My safari included a fantastic combination of Akagera National Park in Rwanda, where we enjoyed amazing wildlife viewing, followed by the once-in-a-lifetime experience of mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda. Seeing the gorillas in their natural habitat was emotional and unforgettable, while the wildlife safari in Rwanda perfectly complemented the adventure. Every detail of the itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and the entire journey was seamless from start to finish. I highly recommend Bashem Safaris Tours & Travel to anyone looking for an authentic, memorable, and professionally guided East African safari. Thank you, Paul and the Bashem Safaris team, for creating memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t wait to return for another adventure!"

"I booked my Uganda gorilla trekking trip through Viator for my birthday, and honestly, I was not expecting the incredible experience that awaited me. From the moment the trip began, everything exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were beautiful and comfortable, and the safari vehicle was excellent. A special thank you to our wonderful guides, Paul and Eve, who were both fantastic. They were knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. The highlight, of course, was coming face-to-face with gorillas in the wild. It was an emotional and unforgettable experience that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Seeing these magnificent animals in their natural habitat was truly beyond anything I could have imagined. But Bashem Safaris made my birthday even more special! I was completely surprised by a beautiful birthday cake and thoughtful gifts from the Bashem Safaris management. The surprise was organized by Emmanuel, who is based in Canada, and it meant so much to me. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the evening incredibly special. I celebrated my birthday surrounded by wonderful people, incredible nature, and unforgettable memories. ❤️🦍🎂 Thank you to Paul, Eve, Emmanuel, and the entire Bashem Safaris team for making my birthday trip so extraordinary. I highly recommend Bashem Safaris to anyone looking for a professional, caring, and unforgettable African safari experience!"

"My trip was absolutely excellent and far beyond what I expected. When I booked my gorilla trekking experience in Uganda, I had certain expectations, but what Bashem Safaris provided was even better. I originally thought I would be staying in a tented camp, but I was pleasantly surprised to find myself staying in a beautiful and comfortable lodge room. The accommodation was wonderful and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The gorilla trekking itself was something I will never forget. Climbing the hills through the beautiful forest, following the rangers as they carefully made a way for us, and finally reaching the gorilla family was an incredible adventure. When I finally stood in front of the gorillas, my heart was filled with happiness. It was truly unforgettable moment. Another special part of my trip was meeting a group of indigenous children supported by Bashem Safaris. They welcomed me with so much happiness, dancing and smiling. Seeing their joy and knowing that Bashem Safaris is involved in supporting these young people touched my heart deeply. I am already planning to return with my family next year. The trip was so special that I felt it was not enough to experience it alone—I want my family to share these incredible memories with me. Thank you so much to Bashem Safaris for being professional, experienced and caring. You truly know what you are doing, and you made my Uganda gorilla trekking one of the best memories of my life. Highly recommended!"
