Gorillas made an indelible impression!

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Right from the start of our planning, Anna was incredibly helpful, communicative, and built our trust quickly. We got stuck in the Nairobi airport from an Air Traffic Control strike and Anna supported us through the flight changes at all hours of the night. Our driver Norman was also really great. The vehicle he drove us around in was immaculate and in excellent condition, he spoke excellent English and was informative. His love of Uganda and Rwanda was infectious! Seeing the gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable forest is something we will never forget. The hike into the forest was a bit more challenging than we anticipated, which made our first sighting of the gorilla family that much more incredible!
