  • 8 Days Rwanda Gorillas, Chimps, Dian Fossey Tour reviewer 1
    · December 16th, 2024
    Is a good itinerary. Is an active schedule, but is worth it. If you are not use to altitude and/or hiking, the amount Bisoke hiking will be a challenge (is a hard one). Besides that, everything is really good.

    I can't believe how much we managed to pack into 8 days , and they went by so quickly! I couldn't have asked for more, it was a dream come true . I picked this your company because I had researched and found that they give lots back to the community in the sense that as many employees as well as arrangements ( eateries, accomodation) as possible were local businesses run by locals.

    Great tour. When people ask me how my vacation was, I tell them we had a great time. Of course, seeing the gorillas and monkeys was great, the landscape was gorgeous, the Genocide Museum was eye-opening, but the best part was the people. We made friends with locals that we continue to keep in touch with. Our guide, Ronald, was awesome. Ronald was accommodating, easy-going and friendly. I would recommend this tour and, even if you don't choose this tour, I would highly recommend visiting Rwanda. It was an unforgettable and powerful experience.
