Amazing trip! Great CEO’s. Unforgettable experience!
The trip was amazing over all. Not really under the control of the trip but we had two group members that were quite unpleasant to be around. One 9Rick0 talked all the time and even answered questions we directed at the guides. They suggested to us that we switch up what trucks we sat in but that never happened, so we were always stuck in his truck - ideally the CEOs would really enforce this recommendation.
This was an amazing trip! Very memorable! Uganda is a beautiful country, and the people are very friendly.
Very nice trip in two countries I didn't really know before. We saw a lot of wildlife and the encounter with the chimps and gorillas will remain with me forever. They call it 'the pearl of Africa' and this trip made me understand why!
The trip was one of my all time favorite trips. From the culture to the people, everything was great!
Please reserve one room at hotel on last day for grouo, to have shower, changing clothes, reorganizing luggage in waiting for flight. Another company as Explore are doing like that.
Excellent trip and once in a lifetime experience
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.
One of the best trips with G Adventures that I have been on. Excellent tour guides (CEO?s). Great food, accommodations, and places visited. Could not have been done better.
