About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 672steveno0 contributionsGreat Experience in Kibale with the ChimpsFantastic experience with the Chimps Emma helped us throughout the booking process and was genuine. Definitely recommend this company as well as to support a local business that is hard working and honest.Written 13 August 2024
- A9634GJinesm0 contributionsBest experience I could have wish for! It was a very in-depth tour.Emma organised a customised 20 days trip, including Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchinson, Kibale, Marguerita Peak, QENP, Bwindi, Mburo and Mabamba Swamp. He is very reliable and you can relax during your trip, as he will make sure that everything runs smoothly, and also is flexible if you want to include extra activities in your tour. He is local and knows people everywhere, which contributes to enhance your experience. I saw every animal I wanted to see and was able to summit Marguerita Peak in spite of the crevasses! When I spoke to other tourists using different tour operators it was clear how professional Emma is. You can also pay by bank transfer, which means you don’t have to carry much cash with you, and he will give you a fair price. My hotels were middle to budget range but there was something special about most of them as they had different animals visiting. Emma, John and Lin were great company and I feel that I have some new friends in Uganda now. I highly recommend using Trek Rwenzori!Written 22 July 2024
- Laura M0 contributionsSuper professionalEmma booked our chimp trek for us. He was very professional and responsive. He dropped off our original copies at the hotel for us. I highly recommend this tour company and would use them in the future.Written 1 July 2024
- 329pinkb0 contributionsAmazing experience at Trekwenzori UgandaI had the chance to trek family of Rhino. I got close to them about 5 meters. The tour guide was very nice; able to answer all my questions regarding rhino life. You can take thousands of nice pictures.Written 10 May 2024
- Labbevideau0 contributionsAmazing experienceI went to see the gorillas in Bwindi national park and it was an absolutely amazing, once in a lifetime experience. Would definitely recommend this agency - very professional with some kind and knowledgeable guides.Written 6 April 2024
- fabiomV8710KO0 contributionsBest Tour guide in Uganda, 10/10Emma organized a super great customized 6-day trip for me at an extremely good price (3 days Rwenzori Mountains, 1 day Queen Elizabeth Safari with game & boat drive and another 2 days in total for the gorilla trekking). He was proactive throughout, personable and did everything to make sure I was completely comfortable! I can only recommend Emma and Trek Rwenzori Tour to everyone! If I come to Uganda again, I will definitely book my tours through him again.Written 15 March 2024
- Bbiigg-YY0 contributionsA Stunning and Unique Bespoke TourWe arranged a bespoke tour with Emma(nuel) who could not have planned a better trip. Murchison Falls, safari, boat trip on the Nile, chimpanzees and gorillas, with a final stop on the Equator. We covered a lot of distance in a few days but he engaged an excellent driver and very comfortable safari vehicle. A truly stunning and unique holiday experience. Highly recommend.Written 28 February 2024
- I6176EDkylem0 contributionsEpic experience with chimps in Kibale!Amazing! Emma was super responsive and quick lining everything up, helping with transportation, getting the permits. So kind and runs an amazing business. Would use again.Written 10 January 2024
- 962trevoro0 contributionsA memorable jaunt through East Africa with Trek Rwenzori.Trek Rwenzori organised tours, safaris and drivers for me in Uganda, October 2023. I went to Kibale Forest, Similiki national park, Rwenzori mountains, Queen Elizabeth Park. And many places in between. I was largely based in Fort Portal. They organised to pick me up in Kampala, then after all the tours we drove to Rwanda. It was an unforgettable experience for me, too many highlights for such a short review! Emma, John and all the guides along the way know the area of East Uganda, understand the many cultures, languages and provide non-stop insights. They are also fun guys to hang out with, have a sharp sense of humour. I liked being with them over the bumpy roads! I’d highly recommend them for tours, safaris and getting around in Uganda.Written 3 November 2023
- GillesM11760 contributionsFriendly, helpfull and on point peopleWe came across Trek Rwenzori by accident, because we needed transport to Kibale forest for a chimpanzee tracking. Emmanuel also suggested a community tour, wich was an amazing way to learn more about the community. We ended up booking a day trip to QENP & a day hike to Rwenzori (lake Mahoma). Emmanuel was very quick to respond to our messages, and everything was well arranged - also friendly drivers. When you book with TRT, you get an excellent value for your money. The website is clear about the itinerary for the trips. We could not have imagined a better guide!Written 13 October 2023
- Daniela A0 contributionsChimps tracking with the best ones!I did chimps tracking and I really enjoyed the experience! I traveled alone and I felt safe and guided all the time. At the National Park, the rangers are experts and have the perfect advice for tourists.Written 2 August 2023
- A8697ZDalexj0 contributionsDidn't provide much value but charged real moneyEmmanuel arranged a day trip for me in the Rwenzori Mountains. He convinced me that this was a complicated trip and that having him as a guide would be helpful and worth the money. In fact, it was a simple trip that I could have easily arranged myself. I regret hiring him. I should have either arranged the trip myself or I should have bargained much harder. But Emmanuel could be helpful for people who are not comfortable doing things like ordering bodas and buying street food on their own.Written 10 June 2023
- anaimm20180 contributionsTrip to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Lake BunyonyiTrek Rwenzori Tours took great care of us during our whole trip across Uganda, from the moment we landed, when Emmanuel, the owner, and John, our driver and guide, picked us up from the airport, to our departure. They arranged our visit to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where we did a gorilla trekking, our stay at Lake Bunyonyi, where we visited the Batwa and Abahesi peoples, and our transfer to Kampala. The hotels and meals they arranged for us where all great, as well as the local guides that supported our visits. We would repeat and contract their services if we ever have the chance to return to UgandaWritten 4 February 2023
- 4nd1cava0 contributionsPerfect organized Rwenzori mountains and safariEmmanuel from Trek Rwenzori Tours made a great job on organizing and leading our whole trip in Uganda (Trekkings, Margherita Peak, Safari...). Everything worked just perfect, he knows a lot and was a great companion.Written 4 October 2022
- IanOMahoney0 contributionsAmzing gorilla and chimpanzee experiencesEmma and John have been two amazing guides. We have tracked both chimpanzees in Kibale and Gorillas in Bwindy national park and we are very happy to have done it with them. They have been super helpful allowing us to have a gorilla permit with little anticipation. Thank a lot guys we hope to do a trek in the Rwenzori with you the next time.Written 30 August 2022

I just got back from a great 7-days trek of the Rwenzori mountains organized by Trek Rwenzori Tours!
I really want to thank Emmanuel, Enoch and John from Trek Rwenzori Tours for making sure that my experience in Uganda before, during and after the hike went smooth. They did a great job organizing the trip, and were very responsive and accommodating for any requests I had, always available to answer any questions. And off course, very friendly and fun!!
I couldn’t have picked a better company to trek the Rwenzori. Highly recommend booking tours with them!

We were doing internship with Virika hospital, we wanted to go to Ruwenzori, to see Gorillas, Chimpanzees and Safaris in Uganda. This agency organised all those tours for us and at good price. Guides were excellent fun and friendly. They have knowledge for Ruwenzori mountains, they helped us reach Margarita peak.
We had the best experience with gorillas, chimpanzees and safaris in Uganda. If you are planning a trip to Uganda, plan with Trek Ruwenzori Tours.

We booked all our trip from France directly with Emmanuel of Trek Rwenzori Tours. It was the best choice we did. In fact, they picked us directly at the airport and all the trip was perfectly organised: Trekking to Margherita Peak, Safari, Chimpanzee adventure, Rhino experience, hot spring, crater lakes and rafting, accommodations, food, water… Emmanuel is very kind, helpful and always do what he says without surprises. We share marvellous moments with him and his team (a good thought to Johnson). I DO RECOMMEND !

We booked directly with Emmanuel and were picked up by him and a driver. They had organised all hotels, transfers and also picked the company (Rwenzori Trekking Services) for the summit trekking. The trek is a not - to - be - underestimated 7 day hike trough dense bush and bog in rubber boots, but the guides and porters will do anything they can to help the guests achieve the goal of reaching the summit. After the trek, Emmanuel had organised a wonderful safari and chimpanzee trekking adventure. They brought us back to the airport well fed and full with memories of beautiful Uganda!!! Thank you so so much!!

Hahaha!!!!, Thank you very much Johann for excellent review. it was our great pleasure to host you for Rwenzori trekking and safaris. We are glad that you have expressed your satisfaction of your trip with us. A little correction, you booked with directly with Emmanuel of Trek Rwenzori Tours and your were guided by guides of the same company not the one you mentioned.
We appreciate for your great support that creates conservation and horny between human being and animals.

Great experience in Rwenzori Mountains! the whole trip - trekking and safari - was perfectly organized by Emmanuel, who I'd contacted a couple months before visit in Uganda; all staff on the trekking (guides, chef, porters) was professional, helpful and friendy and made it nice, safe and anyway a great adventure; also problems with a flight one day delay didn't make any problems - thanks to Emmanuel everything was reorganized quickly and we could go on with the programme.
