“Notre guide etait plutôt agréable. Le problème viens de la mauvaise organisation. Le guide est venu nous chercher à 9h au lieu de 7h. Nous sommes arrivés à l’hôtel à 14h. Aucune activité prévu le premier jour, nous sommes donc allé nous balader seuls dans les rues de Kisoro. La randonnée du deuxième jour avec les guides du parc national était fabuleuse, la rencontre avec les gorilles était magique. Après 10 heures de randonnée, aucun repas prévu. Nous sommes retournés à Kigali vers 19h sans avoir mangé depuis 5 heures du matin…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 6 reviews · 2 days · from $498

Travel from Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest by safari vehicle, cross into Uganda, and spend an hour with a habituated gorilla family. An English, German, or Spanish-speaking guide handles the route, transport, lodging, and park entry, but the gorilla permit and processing fees cost extra.

“The communication from the company and the driver were very good, nothing to complain about. The only thing to perhaps higglight is what you actually pay for in terms of activities, this is purely a package with a driver and then they organise the one night accomodation including lunch and dinner, everything else including the Gorilla trekking is excluded. I had to pay an extra 50 usd for the Batwa tribe visit which was really 5 min down the road from my lodge, and additional 100 usd for the lake cruise which i still paid full even though I only did 1 hour instead on 2 hour cruise. Nevermind, the…”
