2 Day Gorilla Trekking Safari in Uganda via Kigali

I went with a friend and would highly recommend Bamboo Ecotours. We were picked up by our driver Jackson in Kigali and he drove us through the Uganda land border. We had lunch near the border and arrived at our lodging by the afternoon. We had a good dinner and got ready for the next day. We went to one of the gates of Bwindi and were greeted by local guides and porters. I would highly recommend hiking boots and gardening gloves as it gets muddy and the thorns are everywhere. We found the family of 17 gorillas an hour into our hike. We were able to stay with the gorillas for an hour and proceeded to exit the park. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who have this on their bucket list. Thank you Jackson for being a great host and took great care of us.

Exactly the kind of company I like to work with for tour!. Excellent communication, on time, attentive and willing to answer all our crazy questions. Jackson was our driver and he was an excellent representative of the company. He was personable, answered all our questions, knew the area and the terrain. He is a good driver and kept us apprised of things ahead of time. We requested a local meal on our adventure to Bindi and it was both a great experience and the food delicious. Bamboo does a great job guiding you through visas, what to wear/bring and super important details. Again, super responsive on Whatsapp. I would recommend it without hesitation. Gorilla trek was on my bucket list, this was amazing.

It's a little pricey, but you can spend a wonderful time with the gorillas. My group pushed through the grass on the steep slope and met a family of seven gorillas in about 40 minutes one way. Both Edison, the tour clerk, and Fred, the driver, were very accommodating. I recommend this tour and tour operator.
