Uganda -- Birds and Gorillas

Detailed itinerary planned after discussion of exactly what we wanted with Wildlife Trails.

An eleven day trip starting and finishing in Entebbe. Three friends travelling together in very comfortable 4x4 with excellent driver/guide. Detailed itinerary planned after discussion of exactly what we wanted with Wildlife Trails. Accommodation a blend of very comfortable lodges and more basic community owned facilities -- all excellent value and matching what we wanted from trip. Spending time in close contact with Chimpanzees and Mountain Gorillas was truly memorable and a highlight of all my wildlife trips.

Rating for tour operator:

Superb organisation. Main points that made trip such a success: 1 Itinerary developed by Wildlife Trails to cover exactly what we wanted -- all on fairly short timescale 2. Driver was extremely knowledgeable -- not just knowing sights for big game, but detailed locations for birds which was a prime purpose of our trip. Guide was excellent on bird identification, but also arranged a specialist guide in area where he was not so familiar with restricted range birds. Expertise was way beyond what I expected (and have experienced on trips elsewhere in the world) 3 All organisation showed that Wildlife Trails really knew the area from personal knowledge rather than relying totally on local agents. I can think of nothing that would have improved the trip -- and it is very rare to be able to say that about any holiday.
