My 19 year old son, husband and I booked a 2 night, 3 day private tour with Gorilla Holidays in July 2019 and it was genuinely one of the most... read more memorable experiences we have ever had.
Abraham picked us up in Kigali and took us to the very moving Genocide Memorial Museum before driving us to Bwindi in Uganda ready for our amazing gorilla trek the next day. Abraham was a really informative and supportive guide, making sure that we got across the borders and onto our treks with minimal fuss. The accommodation which was arranged through his business partner Mark was totally delightful and Abraham made sure we were well looked after and negotiated an extended checkout on the last day for us to freshen up after our trek.
The gorilla trek was without doubt one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of our life, trekking for hours through the rainforest before coming face to face with a huge silverback and his juvenile family. Wow! It was such a thrill.
The golden monkey trek in Rwanda on the following day was brilliant too. The trek was much easier and quicker than the gorilla trek but totally exceeded our expectations. The golden monkeys were so much fun as dozens of them played around our feet.
We learnt so much about Rwanda and Uganda on this trip due to the knowledge and efforts of Abraham. In addition to our treks, he took us on a wonderful scenic tour through Uganda and Rwanda so we could experience the stunning scenery and see how the local people really live.
From Mark’s excellent customer service and advice during the booking process through to Abraham’s attentive and informative service as our guide, I couldn’t fault Gorilla Holidays. I highly recommend them for trekking in Uganda and Rwanda.
