    After years of dreaming, I finally stood in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest face- to- face with a family of wild mountain gorillas . The hour we spent quietly observing a mother gorilla cradling her infant was one of the most profound experiences of my life. Trekking through the dense jungle was challenging _ we hiked through mist and vines . But when our guide motioned us forward to see the silverback, every drop of sweat was worth it. I felt my heart pounding with awe and emotion as the gentle giant looked into my eyes . It's hard to put into words how touching and humbling that encounter was. Each evening ,we relaxed at comfortable lodges where the staff treated as like family ,and we fell asleep to the sounds of nature. I still dream of the misty hills of Bwindi and the sparkling waters of Lake Bunyonyi where we unwound at the end. This safari touched my soul and left me with memories (and photos) to treasure forever

    The trip was amazing, I must say we really enjoyed the Safari.. Richard our guide was so amazing, the food was marvelous, the lodges clean and on point, some point was some minutes late but that was not a issue as it was raining almost half of our trip and we know things can get messy, but generally everything was so perfect beyond our expectations, maybe what everyone didn’t appreciate was the chimps trek at kibale, the people were many and our group was splint, some of our friends saw only 2 chimps and so high trees they couldn’t even take pictures, and others saw few chimps and it was a rainy day, anyways we experienced the rain forest though we felt bad afterwards we met some guys at the lodge who were coming from CK and they had tracked at a reserve on Budongo who saw over 30 chimps and had over 2hrs with chimps, otherwise the gorilla trek was amazing and the rest of the trip, we loved Richard’s driving skills and the constant communication, we will come back again and thank you Richard and your team at inspire

    I cannot recommend Gorilla trips enough! From the very beginning in planning the trip, Joseph was extremely responsive to all my questions and very helpful in creating the perfect itinerary that was I hoped for. Our guide Herman , was just as exceptional. Herman was very knowledgeable about everything that came on my way as we were heading for the greatest Gorilla Safaris experience. Indeed I cannot regret paying my money for the Gorilla experience, because it was only fan meeting the Gorillas in their habitant enjoying their play in the Impenetrable forest. When it came to the lodges it was the greatest experience, the lodges were five star in that I found no difficult in resting in them, the African food they prepared was of first class. I cannot forget the expectional company that organized the Trip,Inspire African Safaris it's guide was very knowledgeable and he made the trip a memoriable.

    By the time my safari reached I wasn't feeling fine but still went. I was emotionally down but then my bad day was turned into a great one and all credit goes to Isaac the best driver guide from Inspire safaris. He made sure i enjoyed every bit of the trip and with the drinking water in the car and a luxurious vehicle and the good music entertainment, I got a good moment. In the hotel I was given a 5star treatment, the camp fire and the well organised room. The well informed guide who answered everything I asked him during the game drive. Never thought I could have this much fun until Inspire safaris made it happen.
