3 Day Gorilla Trek at Bwindi National Park via Kigali

I cannot recommend Bamboo Ecotours highly enough! Edison is one of the, if not the best tour company owner I have seen. He is prompt, precise, respectful, kind in communication. He simply answers with the exact right information you ask, not more not less. No trying to push you for anything no asking for favors (like writing a review on TripAdvisor ;) He just does his job as it should be done in a decent world. Not only that, Bamboo Ecotours prices are competitive and they take credit cards at no extra charge, they don't ask for a deposit in advance to profit from any misfortune you might have (apart from the gorilla permit which is of course normal as they are non-refundable). I finally would like to give a shoutout to my driver-guide Amanya. (I also would like to mention that he noted, during a conversation, that Edison was a caring boss as well, not binding his guides when there's no work, being flexible so they can earn their living.) I appreciate people like Edison immensely in this world where everyone (well almost everyone) is only considering their self-interest, or are fake or pushy. I believe such people should be supported wholeheartedly. In short, you can (and should ;) go with Bamboo Ecotours without any reservations. You'll be in safe and caring hands. What's more, you'll be supporting traits that are getting harder and harder to find in our modern wolf-eats-wol

We went with bamboo ecotours because of the reviews and we were not disappointed! First, anytime I emailed Edison any questions ( I had a lot of stupid ones), he answered them very quickly. He assisted us in getting my 14 y/o daughter permission to go. The trekking was tough. Straight uphill in the jungle. You definitely need to be somewhat physically fit to do this. We took a flight from entebbe instead of the long drive. I’m glad we did that too. The gorilla lodge we stayed at was beautiful, clean and very attentive to anything we needed. Our Driver, John, was so knowledgeable about the area, the people, trekking, etc. The only thing which I would say not to do was the cultural visit to the Batwa people. Felt like a tourist trap to me. It is a lot of dirt roads when traveling in Uganda so be prepared. They call it an “African massage”. Overall, would highly recommend trekking with them!!

Experience of a lifetime! We got incredible up close time with there family of gorillas. Our guide was super helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. The lodgings were gorgeous. Highly recommend Bamboo!
