We had a wonderful experience! The itinerary was really good and our CEOs Luke and Ronald were the best.
There?s two things I didn?t like though.
1. Please just include all the meals during the tour and make the tour more expensive. Not including meals in places like Bwindi where there is no other restaurant option and you?re forced to eat at the lodge you?re staying at anyway is just pointless and annoying as you have to calculate the money you have to withdraw from ATMs and ends up costing you more because of high ATM fees! Either include all meals or do a breakfast/dinner included lunch optional system for people who don?t want to eat lunch
2. Kigali View Hotel. Can?t believe G Adventures picks this hotel as end point and recommends it to its guests! It was really bad. The food was horrible, the rooms smelled, the bathroom smelled. Luckily it was only one night so it was bearable but for people who wanna end on a high or who decided to stay longer that Hotel is a full disappointment! And if you decided to keep it as your end point at least clearly label it as VERY BUDGET and recommendations for nicer hotels in the area.

This eight-day Rwanda and Uganda private tour is a great option for those who want to experience the natural attractions of both Rwanda and Uganda, primarily the primates. Book this guided tour with us and discover some of the most popular national parks of both these countries.
Your journey starts on arrival in Kigali, from where we will transfer you to Nyungwe National Park for chimpanzee tracking. Next on the itinerary is Volcanoes National Park, known for its population of golden monkeys.

Enjoy gorilla trekking in Bwindi before it is time to drive back to Kigali. If time permits, we will take you to the Kigali Genocide Memorial on the last day of this tour.

DEFINITELY DO THIS TRIP !! Absolutely brilliant, if you love wildlife and east african culture I would recommend this trip, if this is your first east african trip it is a must. Wonderful people and wildlife in 3 beautiful countries and you get to go to the fabulous masai mara on your first few days, also to Lake Nakuru with the Rhino's and flamingoes. Across into Uganda where it is more lush and green then Kenya where we stayed at Lake Bunyonyi and visited a childrens Orphanage run by Crystal - Loving Hearts Helping Hands - this was amazing and the walk up to this is lovely, gets you out of breath but the guy who took us stops frequently for everyone. The nature walk at Lake Mburo was really good and we needed a good walk by this time after sitting in the overland vehicle, the Ranger who took us was really informative. Then onward into Rwanda and Ruhengeri where we trekked the fabulous gorillas.

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.

The ceos and driver were amazing. The roads are a lot busier and bumpier than I am used to, but I always felt complete trust that we would be safe. The ceos were also great at bringing our group together and made it feel like family. Accommodations and food exceeded expectations and the hospitality throughout our tour was the best I?ve ever experienced. The whole tour was very well-rounded -I felt that I got a good mix of wildlife, adventure, food experiences, and culture.
