    From the detailed planning through to the wonderful service from our driver Fred this was one of the best trips we have ever taken. We did two lots of Chimp trekking, Gorilla trekking and a visit to Lake Bunyonyi. Edison was very responsive to our many questions ahead of booking and Fred was an excellent driver. Very happy to recommend them. We added a night each end at the Five to Five Hotel in Kigali which we can also heartily recommend.
