Kigali Wildlife safaris and game drives Trips

An excellent and varied intinerary with comfortable accommodation in spectacular locations and knowledgeable tour leaders. The highlight was observing the gorillas - we were lucky enough to encounter a family of six, including a baby, after a relatively short trek of an hour - but the trip also included a fascinating visit to the indigenous Batwa people and provided many opportunities to support local communities and women's empowerment projects. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour where close encounters with a variety of animals, most notably Mountain Gorillas, are virtually guaranteed (with all the planning involved, you'd be extremely unlucky not to see Gorillas in Bwindi). On the tour you also find out about the efforts made in conserving these rare animals and how that sometimes impacts on the human residents in the area both positively and negatively. The formation of several community groups, particularly focused on providing education and sustainable employment, particularly for women, is also shown

This trip was incredible. It exceeded my expectations and I truly believe that was because of Elton, John, and Patrick. I had so much fun learning and experiencing everything with them. I don?t think it would have been the same without them!

The in country contact in Rwanda did not do his job (Robert). I sent a separate email about this. All in all this was a fantastic trip!!! We absolutely loved it. I felt that there should have been more to the National Geo Journey in Kenya; I?m not sure how different it was (from a conservation/information/learning standpoint ) from the regular trip.

The time with the gorillas was one of the most amazing times in my adult life. I felt like a 5-year-old child on Christmas morning the entire time, and had a grin on my face that must have lasted for days. The rest of the trip was wonderful, but I will never forget the gorillas.

We travelled on the same trip as Angela, and agree with everything that she said. The wildlife sightings in the Masai Mara were excellent; the boat trip on the Kazinga Channel was every bit as good; the trip to the source of the Nile is fun; and then there is the big finale of the chimp and gorilla trekking, all making this a wonderful journey. Only one site, near Lake Nakuru, had poorer facilities, although as it had baboons and colobus monkeys in the camp while we were having lunch, we could happily overlook that. This is definitely a trip where you need to have the right mental attitude, and then just go for it. The trip notes say that you will remember the time with the gorillas for the rest of your life. That is not an exaggeration, but it could be applied to the rest of the trip as well.
