Rwanda Uganda Gorilla Safari

What participants wrote to us:

"An excellent and surprising trip! The highlight for me was the off-road driving and the Masaai Mara. The tour guide René Molenberg was perfect! The contact with the office was excellent. As a point of improvement, I would provide better information about the possible conditions of the roads after rain. "
Petra Hummel – Uganda Gorilla Safari – July 2017

“The trip was absolutely fantastic, a dream trip. The combination of nature and culture is great. Highlights: the visit to the chimpanzees and especially the gorilla tracking was absolutely fantastic. Riding a motorcycle on dirt roads through parks is fantastic. Contact with the office was pleasant.”

"It was a wonderful trip. I was completely away, away from home and work! Very beautiful country, beautiful route, nice tour guide! "
Koen Fillekers - Uganda Gorilla Safari 2013

"The nature is beautiful, as if you were driving around in the Garden of Eden, but with natural jumping jacks :-) The off-road driving is super fun. The animals in and outside the nature parks, the sometimes downright spectacular overnight accommodations (Kidepo, Ruhya, lake Mutanda etc.), all enthusiastic people and children along the way. What makes it really special is that you can drive among the animals, elephants and buffalos, etc... And the gorillas and the trekking were a sublime experience! " Ronald &
Marga Wortelboer - Uganda Gorilla Safari 2013

"Another great Motor Trails experience!!!! Lots of variety and beautiful off-road driving. The trip certainly exceeded my expectations!"
Rian de Ruiter - Uganda Gorilla Safari 2013

"A very special journey because the country has to offer different types of landscapes and driving experiences. From steppe to jungle, from super asphalt to mud, from plains to mountain roads, also from warm to very cold. Uganda is also the only country in the world where you can travel with motorcycles are allowed into the game parks and it is even more special when you know that Motortrails is the only motorcycle tour organization in Uganda! If you like motorcycles and nature, this is a trip not to be missed. A great experience! " Yusuf Kho – Uganda Gorilla
Safari - December 2012

"Beautiful trip. I enjoyed the nature, the people, the wildlife parks and the animals. The off-road driving came in second place for me. I had to get used to the much higher speeds at which they drive compared to the Enfields in India and Nepal. The engines were disappointing in terms of reliability. They broke down too often, causing delays. However, we were always able to reach our destination at the end of the day. But for a few, this was in the support car instead of on the motorcycle. Mostly beautiful places where we spent the night. Overall, I thought it was a wonderful trip, which met and sometimes exceeded my expectations. Tour guide Maarten did an excellent job. Divided his attention very well among all participants. Always remained positive with every new "challenge". Also maintained good cooperation with Ali and Seckie. Had a wonderful trip. However, the next trip should have better engines. Then it is a completely unique experience."
Laurens Hollertt – Uganda Gorilla Safari - December 2012

"The contact was good. The site is clear and well-organized and after booking you will receive sufficient information through the travel booklets and the travel guide. The questions were answered quickly and clearly by email. Uganda is a beautiful country, the trip shows everything see parts of the country and people. The motorcycles really need to be improved. The highlight for me was the Kidepo park, and although I did not expect this myself, the mountain gorillas (I am not a monkey lover). Tour guide Maarten is great. He made sure that we had a really good time. Together with Ali and Segki, he got everything done and resolved."
Michel Kruik - Uganda Gorilla Safari - December 2012

"The contact with Motor Trails was good. It felt very personal. It was an incredibly beautiful trip. I would recommend it to everyone, lots of off-road driving, beautiful nature. Lots of variety and incredibly friendly people. Highlights include camping in Kidepo ( really an added value!). The off-road driving. The variety in terms of environment. The contact with the (very friendly) local population. Riding through the game parks on a motorcycle. The Game Drives. Maarten was a very pleasant tour guide. He is very pleasant in the interaction, divided his attention among all members of the group, thought along with the group, was open to suggestions, took all participants into account and clearly did his best to make the best of it. Also a compliment to driver Ali, a very pleasant and knowledgeable person."
Hugo van Kolfschoten – Uganda Gorilla Safari - December 2012

"Contact is good, clear and clear information. Uganda is very worthwhile, beautiful country and enthusiastic people. The trip was varied enough. Highlights: Kidepo national park, gorilla trekking but certainly also the country itself. the diversity of the country and the people. Maarten is a good tour guide, enthusiastic, lots of experience, lots of stories. The whole team was very good, Maarten, Alli (driver) and Seki (mechanic), the 3 of us ensured that the trip, despite all the problems with the engines went well."
Danielle van Trigt – Uganda Gorilla Safari - December 2012

"Contact with motortrails was excellent! From the first presentation to the final detailed itinerary, there was a lot of back and forth arrangements, whereby motortrails was always flexible to meet our "needs". Highlights were riding through a wildlife park on a motorbike and camping there, also in tents with a ranger (equipped with a loaded Kalasnikov) next to the campfire... But also the landscapes, the people, the climate, the traveling company, the "adventurous" roads, the excitement and the relaxation, it was all in balance. Tour guide is a nice guy, excellent rider and skilled in everything a tour guide should be!”
Jef Hoeylaarts - Uganda Gorilla Safari (private group) - November 2010

"The trip was a real stroke of luck for me. Uganda is a beautiful country, very varied and yet everything can be done by motorcycle. The motorcycles were in good condition and were maintained daily. Highlights were riding the motorcycles through the wildlife parks, a unique experience I will also never forget meeting the gorillas. Last but not least, the super friendly welcome from the Ugandans was contagious everywhere!! Bart and the local guides formed a solid team and ensured that the whole trip ran smoothly from the start. walked”.
Nick Dams - Uganda Gorilla Safari (private group) - November 2010

"The trip perfectly met expectations and was difficult to exceed... Highlights are of course meeting our cousins ​​in Bwindi. Riding a motorcycle through the game parks among the game is also great."
Jan Dierckx - Uganda Gorilla Safari - November 2010

"Contact is fine. Trip is fantastic, very beautiful and well-organized trip.”
Martijn Woltjer - Uganda Gorilla Safari - October 2010

"Super trip. many variations in accommodation, very satisfied feeling at the final destination every day. Good and enthusiastic tour guide Maarten.”
Harry van de Werf - Uganda Gorilla Safari - October 2010

"It was great, what an adventure. We will remember it often. The group was very pleasant and Maarten was a rock in the surf.”
Petra Roijers - Uganda Gorilla Safari - October 2010

"Contact is clear, good, complete. The trip is great, varied, adventurous."
Siert Woltjer - Uganda Gorilla Safari - October 2010

"Contact is very pleasant. The trip fully met my expectations. The unexpected and unplanned trip components, e.g. a stretch of driving in the dark, a slippery road due to the rain and an evening ride through the traffic jam in Kampala make this trip extra attractive. Love the trip was especially adventurous... Nothing but praise, with the highlight (besides the dirt road driving) being the meeting with the mountain gorillas."
