3-daagse gorillatrekking Safaritocht in Oeganda

Mijn vrouw boekte deze reis zonder mijn medeweten en het bleek een onvergetelijke ervaring te zijn huwelijksreis voor ons allebei. We bezochten Afrika in Botswana in 2018, dus deze keer maakte ze het het Afrika in Oeganda. Onze belangrijkste avonturen waren duidelijk, we wilden op gorillatrekking gaan, dus zij. precies dat geboekt plus de dieren in het Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Het team van Dav Safaris deed het snel.

We have just finished a 4-day Gorilla & Golden Monkey trekking safari with Dav Safaris. We have previously done the “Big 5” in Tanzania, so we can now say we have done the “African Big 6” with Gorillas in Uganda! Dav Safaris was an excellent choice to deliver our experience. Communication from home via WhatsApp with Reagan was always efficient and timely, and the program they put together for us covered off everything we wanted to see an experience. They are a highly professional outfit to deal with, and they took the stress out of planning by explaining the different options available. Arthur was our driver/guide/problem solver (and at the Rwandan land border crossings there seemed to always be something unusual to deal with!). He was so personable, friendly and willing to share information about life in Uganda that it felt like we were on a road trip with an old friend. He kept us on schedule and properly prepared for the next days’ activities. Many thanks my brother!!!! As for the treks themselves, we started with the Golden Monkey trek, and it was amazing to see these creatures in the only place in the world they can be found. But the real deal was trekking for Gorillas in Bwindi. We were 4 very fit hikers and it was a tough 4-hr trek to find them, but so worth it! Absolutely amazing to see these beautiful animals - an experience unlike anything you can imagine. There are easy, moderate and difficult treks (ours was moderate and I would not like to imagine hat the difficult one would look like!), and you are an experienced guide and an armed security escort (to scare off any threats - not to harm them). It is a very well-run operation, and we felt completely safe at all times. These guides work very hard, and in our high-end hiking gear we could only marvel at them doing this in rubber boots. Please remember to bring Ugandan Shillings with you on the treks to leave them a meaningful tip, as trust me they earn it. If not for them, the only gorillas you will see will be at souvenir shops. I would absolutely recommend Dav to anyone looking for a safei planning company. They are efficient, courteous, professional, and very competitively priced. All lodging and meals were top notch. If I were to make one recommendation, it would be that if you arrive in Kigali, to spend the first night there, see the genocide memorial and UN peacekeeper memorial, and then transit straight into Uganda instead of a second night in Rwanda. We loved every minute, and I am sure you will too.

Ik had een fantastische ervaring in Oeganda van 4 - 9 maart, dankzij het Dav Safaris-team, dat er goed voor zorgde dat alles precies goed liep! dit was een zesdaagse safari over Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kalinzu Central Forest Reserve (Chimpansee tracking), Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park (gorilla tracking), Lake Bunyonyi en Lake Mburo National Park. Gorilla's waren mijn hoofddoel, maar alles esse was boven verwachting! Mijn contactpersoon bij het bureau, Reagan, was erg behulpzaam wanneer ik twijfels had, en de gids, Boaz, was gewoon perfect. Geweldige tijd in de parel van Afrika!
