Travel reviews by Lola from Canada

Very unique setting in which to see these monkeys.

On my trek they were not out in the open where apparently, they usually are. They were deeper in the thick of the bamboo forest which made for difficult photos, but very interesting viewing.

Gorgeous primates and quite relaxed–but always moving.

I was very happy to have two treks with a day off in between–especially as the first hike was very difficult! Having a porter was a Godsend and I highly recommend you hire one.

Both of my sightings were deeper in the bush where it was a little tougher to see, but you really felt like you were in the gorillas environment. Rangers were very knowledgeable and aware of the pace of the different group members, which they managed well.

As someone who is well travelled on safaris and has had amazing encounters with wildlife, this was my first gorilla experience and it was absolutely brilliant! So very different from anything else I have done.

A must to visit. I was there for a 9 am and a late afternoon. The morning there was a little more activity. The late day I had the viewing to myself. The caregivers are passionate about their work and will explain absolutely everything about the care the elephants receive. It was also wonderful to see so many women working here!
