    My husband and I were staying in Kigali for our honeymoon and booked a 1-day trek in Uganda. It was so easy to book with Iconic, they were organized and responsive, and Baker - our fearless guide - was awesome! He briefed us the night before in our hotel and picked us up bright and early. Helped us navigate customs no problem and then shuttled us to and from the trek start. We will never forget the trek either. It will always be home of the most awe-inspiring moments of my life. Highly recommend!
