5.00The gorilla trekking was an amazing experience . We opted to do it in Uganda as the gorilla permit was half the price of the Rwandan permit . It was well worth the money and I would highly recommend Vista Safaris. We were the only people on the trip from Rwanda which made it even better and Eric our driver was a good person
