5.00From the airport pickup, to the Twin Lakes cultural experience to the gorilla trek, this was truly an unforgettable trip. I was lucky enough to have Jean-Paul as my guide and cannot recommend him enough. His knowledge and energy truly added to my trip and I can't wait to go back and visit other regions in Rwanda with him!
