    Wonderful Trip

    Jeffry_C, May 2022
    First, our guide James was awesome. He took care of us and made sure we were comfortable during the entire journey. All of the lodging was adequate. The last two nights at the Gorilla camp and the lake were amazing. The Rhino Sanctuary was only “Ok”. Seeing the Rhinos was fun but the food for lunch was terrible. Was not fresh and most likely reheated in a microwave. Murchinson Falls was amazing. The boat ride to the falls was perfect. Lots of animals on the banks of the Nile in the way to the falls. Recommend the morning boat tour as the afternoon tour was quite hot. The Safari game drive in Murchinson National Park was decent. If you have been to Masai Mara in Kenya you will be disappointed with the Murchinson Game Drive. Ft. Murchinson Lodge was ok. I’d give the food 3 stars. The accommodations were adequate. The Chimpanzee Trek was fun and the accommodation was adequate. The highlight of the trip was the Gorilla Trekking. Worth every bit if the cost. Spent 90 minutes with the gorillas. Just amazing. Overall, we had a wonderful trip. Recommend bringing extra food if you are not a fruit eater. Very limited protein options. Additionally, there was lots of driving. Be prepared for some long days in the van. Of note, there is no Wi-Fi in the van and most of the accommodations have limited Wi-Fi connectivity.

    Good week in Uganda!

    It was an excellent week. Everything is taken care of, and we got to see lots of animals; tracking the gorillas is a highlight. Lodges are high quality with good meals included. The guide, Stanley, was an expert game spotter and a safe driver. The trip does involve a lot of driving as the distances are large.
