    Obviously meeting Mountain Gorillas face to face only 2 metres away. Trip exceeded all my expectations, cannot believe the number of animals/birds we saw. Robert/ Umar were incredible tour guides.

    The most wonderful experiences were when we were close to the animals, especially as they were in their environments. It is hard to pick out particular highlights as each day bought us something new and exciting, but I guess was getting so close to the chimps and gorillas.

    All the experiences were amazing but the Chimpanzee tracking and Gorilla tracking experiences were beyond any expectations. To be able to be so close to these incredible Primates was awesome.
