A good trip with a few adventures

Kenya between 10 Oct 2018 and 21 Oct 2018

Trip rating: Excellent
"Good animal sightings. Good guides working hard to keep us happy.

Rwanda was a nice surprise. Kenya was wonderful.

Saw little of Uganda but we liked what we saw.

Made new friends and enjoyed the contacts with the local people. Most of them were welcoming, happy and very friendly. Then again we found this in most African countries we visited."

Uganda Gorilla Trek

"An great experience but an exhausting one."

19 Oct 2018 • Morning excursion

The experience itself is difficult to describe. Certainly worth the effort and one that we will not forget.

We felt the connection with the animals and returned with ca 350 photos. Most of them are excellent.

The trek itself is exhausting as you have to go down a very steep and slippery slope - covered with dense vegetation. Most of the time we needed the help of porters to get to the gorillas. It would have been much better if the porters - rather then holding onto us as we went down - secured a few strong ropes onto the trees.

This way the descent would have been quicker and much easier for all concerned.

"Nice camp - average service"

3 nights Arrived 6 Jul 2017
"Nice camp, good location - service not as good as in other lodges.
Game viewing and location - very good. Organization, attention to detail, attitude of staff - average at best.
I had a feeling the management of this lodge is more preoccupied with the comfort of the staff then with the guests.
Wasted one day on a trip to a location high the guide did not know. Saw one dead giraffe and got one juvenile elephant pi....d off one the way back.
Next day's was very good - even excellent.
Guide then followed us evening/morning to ensure we tipped him( would have done so anyway)
Got half a breakfast on the second day- then staff took away the plates and disappeared"
