Kigali Tour and Genocide Memorial Visit
"Kigali Tour and Genocide Memorial Visit review"
16 Jul 2022 • All-day excursion
A must.
Very powerful experience but required to understand the history of this beautiful country and also how incredible the Rwandan people are - to be able to forgive and move on side by side.

Chimpanzee Trekking in Nyungwe Forest
"Chimpanzee Trekking in Nyungwe Forest review"
17 Jul 2022 • All-day excursion
Incredible - second trek was unbelievable as chimps were moving on the forest floor.
They came so close and were so relaxed around us.
We saw mothers, fathers, babies and even mating!!!! didn't expect that !!!! :)

A fun trip to see another local monkey.
Gorilla Trekking Safari
"Gorilla Trekking Safari review"
23 Jul 2022 • Morning excursion
Well what can we say other than the most incredible experience. We sat so near to a 40 stone silver back we could have reached out and touched him. He looked at us - we glanced at him. His power and beauty were awesome.
I loved watching them as a family - they each had their own personalities. The babies and juvenile were such fun too - I sat next to one who rolled on her back and sunbathed - so brilliantly human.
I was touched that we could get so close and worried that we do not appreciate how special these animals and our planet are
