    I would Highly recommend Bamboo Eco tours. Having never visited Africa before, I was a little nervous as a female traveler, and wanted to use a local company. My correspondence with Edison before the trip and then being met at the airport by the very friendly and kind Herbert, my driver, reassured me. I felt at ease and safe at all times. Herbert was a fantastic driver and nothing was too much trouble for him. I was driven daily for hours and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute, which allowed me to see such wonderful scenery and travel through many towns and villages full of friendly people, especially waving children. I had the privilege of visiting the gorillas in the Bwindi impenetrable National park which was an amazing experience. I also did the Chimpanzee trek in the Kalinzu forest which was fascinating to see and hear them in their natural habitat. I went on a boat along the river and was lucky enough to witness a whole family of elephants drinking from the river right in front of the boat, I saw many hippos, birds a crocodile and more. We drove through the road in the Queen Elizabeth National park , seeing many animals along the way, baboons, elephants, birds, a colobus monkey, and more. On another day, I had a wonderful experience of being just a couple of meters away from two beautiful majestic young lioness, which was just surreal. I found travelling in March out of peak season, a great opportunity to see lots of baby animals, and have more space to move around the lodges and drive along the quieter roads. The hotels and lodges I stayed in were excellent and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming, also the food was delicious, especially as I had requested a vegetarian menu. Bamboo Eco tours organized the trip of a lifetime for me, which exceeded all my expectations, I saw far more than I had ever imagined. I will never forget, and will hold the memories in my heart forever. A huge THANK YOU to Herbert who made my trip fantastic. Viv.
