- KKatharima· July 10th, 2019When we booked our tour it stated on the website that there would be a maximum of 16 people joining the trip, so we were surprised to find ourselves in a group of 28 people (and obviously we weren't the only ones in the group thinking it would be a smaller group). Also that it was a hop on tour was not clearly visible for us and those starting the tour with us in Entebbe. The camping was very nice with good tents but the accommodation in the hostels was horrible. At one point there were only 2 toilets and 2 showers for 28 people and the bunkbeads were not save. The mosquito nets didn't cover the bed and as there were holes in them. Even if it's clear the standard is not the same as in Europe there should be at least enough sanitary rooms and save beds. The food was mostly English breakfast and the vegetarian food was always mixed with some kind of vegetarian meat which for us was not needed. A bit more diversity would have been good. The gorilla tracking was extremely exhausting and obviously not for beginners! But to see the gorillas was worth the effort!Show more
Absolute Africa commented on this reviewHi Katharina, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your tour and great to hear you really enjoyed your gorilla trek! We are sorry to hear you were surprised by the number of people on your tour as we do always aim to be very... Show moreTrip date: July 2019 - MDMegan· May 9th, 2017Wow, wow wow! Given the low cost of this tour I was worried it might not live up to my expectations, but the dates worked perfectly so I thought what the heck. Well it didn't live up to my expectations, it exceeded them! Now don't expect any bells and whistles on this tour, you won't get that. What you will get is to enjoy amazing experiences, meet incredible people and see a slice of the real Africa! The Gorillas are obviously the highlight of the tour but there are so many more understated experiences that will leave you, just like me, saying "WOW"!! If you can try and get on a tour with Derek and Angelo. Two of the most delightful gentleman to exsist on this planet! They made this trip as far as I am concerned! They are an amazing team and looked after the crew in every way possible, with the right balance of freedom and guidance. I'm jealous of those who got to spend more time with these two!! Lastly, if time allows, add on some extra legs. Eight days just wasn't enough!!Show moreAbsolute Africa commented on this reviewThank you for your review, Megan. Great to hear you enjoyed your time in Uganda and Rwanda with Absolute! We will be sure to pass on your comments to Derek and Angelo too :)Trip date: April 2017
