  • Unforgettable Primate Adventure with Iconic Travel

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    5.00

    I recently did a 14-day Primate tour with Iconic Travel, hitting up Uganda and Rwanda. It was seriously next level. We started in Uganda, tracking mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park – mind-blowing stuff. Then, in Rwanda, we hung out with golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park. Iconic nailed the accommodations, balancing luxury and nature vibes perfectly. Shoutout to the guides – they knew their stuff and made the wildlife encounters extra special. The cultural bits with local communities were a cool touch, giving the trip a real depth. Logistics were smooth, too – no stress with permits or fees. In a nutshell, Iconic Travel's 14-day Primate tour is a must-do. It's the right mix of nature, wildlife, and culture. If you're up for a mind-blowing adventure, this is it. Highly recommend.
