Rwanda National parks Trips

An excellent trip, with the highlight being the mountain gorillas, but there was far more to this trip than I was expecting. The walking safari was also excellent, we were very close to giraffes. There are a lot of cultural experiences in this trip, which are excellent as you get to see how the local communities benefit from tourism and learn about their background. However, these all come with purchasing opportunities 'please buy from us and support this project' etc etc. So beware - do not do all your shopping at the first project! Hotels were better than expected in most cases, however the Kampala hotel could be improved on. It was very noisy with music noise most of the night.

It was a near perfect trip. Our guides Robert and Umar were knowledgeable guides who looked after us superbly. Even the rough road conditions could not lessen our enjoyment during the trip. The accommodation settings were ideal because they were in amongst the forest and wildlife which were on our doorsteps and plentiful. Local people were friendly and unassuming, even the Batwa tribe were adorable after what they had been through. All and all, a memorable holiday.

Fabulous trip, with exciting wildlife encounters, exceptional hospitality and profound cultural experiences. The highlight was definitely the awe-inspiring and emotional encounter with the mountain gorillas. Beyond the gorillas, walking with giraffe and zebras, trekking to see the cutest golden monkeys and the abundance of other wildlife; warthogs, hippos, hyena, impala, crocodiles, waterbucks, mongoose, so many birds, monkeys and countless baboons were all amazing. Great itinerary, ensuring we made the most of every moment with some very early starts and long drives. All the accommodation was comfortable and inviting, and the hospitality we received was exceptional, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. Our knowledgeable tour leaders were skilled drivers, great at spotting wildlife along the roads, enriching our experience with their local insights. Visiting local communities and learning about the efforts being made to empower women was inspiring. One of the most interesting parts of the trip was visiting the Batwa village. Highly recommended!

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

Great CEOs and drivers who were all well-organised, fun, enthusiastic and responsible and who went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable. Accommodation and food was good. I was able to upgrade to a room in the one area when we had to share bathrooms. As a 75 year old I was very happy that, by hiring 2 porters, I was able to see the gorillas. I would recommend all our guides and drivers highly.
