Visiting the Mountain Gorillas was an exceptional experience.

Very good trip. Elton was great!

It was a great trip. My only critique is that there was some petty items especially tipping and having to purchase the final lunch. We all found this to be petty. If tips were included it would be easier. Very minor issue, great trip!
Excellent
Trip of a lifetime to be able to see Rwanda. Trekking to the gorillas and golden monkeys was amazing! The Akagera park did not disappoint with being able to see so many great animals. Highlight there included the behind the scenes tour as well!
