What an amazing gorilla trek in Uganda provided! I traveled with my friend, both of us being two middle-age women, for a 10-day trip around Uganda. The main focus for our trip to Uganda was to experience the mountain gorillas, but it ended up being so much more. To say that it was a trip of a lifetime is an understatement.
There are many companies to choose from when traveling to Uganda, but now having experienced the trip and being able to witness many tour companies along the way, reasons I would highly recommend paradise adventure vacations is their communication, organization and passion.
The communication was amazing. Faridah is the United States representative while mussa is the coordinator in Uganda. Both encouraged us to contact them with any and all questions and concerns, which we did. Before the trip we wrote (and called) numerous, numerous times with many questions and every single time our emails and calls were returned quickly with thorough answers to all our questions. Mussa is wonderful, but it was nice to have faridah as the United Representative to be able to call and talk with. After traveling to Uganda, I am more aware of the level of organization needed for this type of trip. Not only the lodge for accommodations but also permits needed for every game park, as well as the gorilla and chimpanzee permits and many small details I would not have even thought of. Paradise adventure vacations took of every detail seamlessly. Even when our airline changed our return tickets to a later day at the last minute, (do NOT use Turkish Airlines!!), mussa quickly was able to get us accommodations and a park permit for an extra day.
