Review a one day gorilla trek from Kigali to Bwindi, with transport, costs, timing, permits, practical tips, and honest advice.
“Maravillosa actividad. Primero te contactaran por aparte para tramitar tu permiso de trecking que no va incluido y que parece costoso hasta que vas y te das cuenta del inmenso trabajo y logística que representa esta actividad (confía en la agencia) esto me costó por que soy mexicana. Lleva ropa adecuada, pantalones largos, algo abrigador e impermeable y botas de montaña, agua, comida y dinero para propinas. Estando ahí te darás cuenta de que el trabajo de esta gente hay que valorarlo. La agencia fue increíblemente amable y eficiente. Gracias por una experiencia única en la vida.”
Review of a 2-day Kigali gorilla trek to Uganda, including permits, transport, lodging, fitness demands, guides, costs, and practical tips.
“Notre guide etait plutôt agréable. Le problème viens de la mauvaise organisation. Le guide est venu nous chercher à 9h au lieu de 7h. Nous sommes arrivés à l’hôtel à 14h. Aucune activité prévu le premier jour, nous sommes donc allé nous balader seuls dans les rues de Kisoro. La randonnée du deuxième jour avec les guides du parc national était fabuleuse, la rencontre avec les gorilles était magique. Après 10 heures de randonnée, aucun repas prévu. Nous sommes retournés à Kigali vers 19h sans avoir mangé depuis 5 heures du matin…”
