What travellers say

★★★★★

They talked us out of the itinerary we asked for, which cost them money and saved our trip. We trekked from Ruhija instead of Buhoma and had a two-hour walk instead of five.

★★★★★

Permits confirmed within a day, a driver who knew every bird between Entebbe and Kisoro, and no surprises on the invoice. I have booked three Africa trips and this was the smoothest.

★★★★★

I am 71 and I was honest about it. They put me in a gentle sector, arranged two porters and I was sitting in front of a silverback ninety minutes after we set off.

★★★★★

The habituation permit in Rushaga was worth every dollar. Four hours, four of us, and a researcher explaining what each animal was doing. I have never been so absorbed in anything.

★★★★☆

Excellent guides and a flawless gorilla day. The drive from Murchison to Kibale was longer than we expected and I wish we had taken the flight they offered — that was on us, but say yes to it.

★★★★★

Booked five weeks out in November, which everyone told us was impossible. They found a Rushaga permit, the forest was empty and the rain stopped for exactly the hour we needed.
