Reviews
What travellers say
Gorillas one week, lions the next
Ten days and not one thing we had to sort out ourselves. Our driver-guide knew every lodge manager by name, and the hour with the gorilla family in Bwindi is something we will talk about for the rest of our lives.
Great guide, bumpy roads
The camp at the Mara was excellent and we saw a leopard on the second morning. The drive from Nakuru is long and rough, so plan for a tiring day, but the quotation told us that up front.
Worth every step up the hill
The trek was steep and muddy, exactly as they warned us, and the porters made it possible. They secured our permits months ahead, so there were no surprises at all.
