What an incredible way to experience the gorillas, local culture and learn about the history of Rwanda and Uganda. The feature stay accomodation was absolutely amazing and our guides Vivian, Sam and Norbert made the trip so easy from start to finish. Thank you!

Great tour with local guides. Food and excursions and hotels are all great.

Even though I was a little nervous about my safety of this trip before leaving, I felt 100% safe and looked after throughout this trip. Seeing the gorillas in their habitant is a feeling that will stay with me for a long time. Accommodations were excellent. High on my list of “Favourite trips’

Fantastic! Seeing the mountain gorillas is an absolutely amazing experience and the friendliness of the locals made the trip that much more enjoyable.

Seeing the gorillas up close was amazing but also the trip from Kigali to Bwindi. The heights make it not for the faint hearted. . The genocide memorial in Kigali should not be missed. I also appreciated and the sobering visit to Ntarama church. This is a history lesson not to be missed. The gorilla trekking can be hard work but worth it

Amazing trip with an amazing group, tough and thrilling adventure

The gorilla trek was a wonderful experience and the Intrepid group was very fun. We really enjoyed the Nkuringo Gorilla Lodge and the service there was very friendly. Very interesting to see a different part of Africa than what we experienced in Kenya and Tanzania.

Overall a good trip but would question the "Premium" categorisation having done other Intrepid trips. The Rwanda inclusions and guiding was poor and also there were issues with our pre and post night stays in Rwanda, they had not been paid for and our post night had been cancelled! The Rwanda city tour, street food experience and genocide memorial visits were not as the itinerary and a great amount of time was wasted, 4 hours driving around for a 1 hour visit to one genocide memorial. The Uganda and the Gorilla experience was fantastic. The lodge was lovely, and the service there exceptional, free laundry and muddy boots cleaned ! The food was great, be prepared for huge portions! Abdul our guide in Uganda and the other driver David were fantastic. Knowledgeable and helpful at every stage. Overall a good trip, the gorillas obviously the highlight. Be prepared for a long drive to and from Uganda and traveling on unpaved roads, and a slightly chaotic procedure at the border crossing!

This trip provides both an amazing opportunity for Gorilla trekking in Uganda as well as staying at fabulous accommodation - The Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla Lodge. Both Rwanda (with it's recent history) and Uganda are two wonderful countries to visit with their own individual and unique characteristics. Highly recommended.

I will write a review, but I will write it directly onto a website myself, meanwhile I will also email Intrepid directly about all the issues we had with this trip.

Overall the trip was good due to the itinerary. I did not get the value of a premium experience at all and would not recommend. The most disappointing thing was lack of clear communication from our premium guides. This was my 4th Intrepid trip (1st premium) and I have had nothing put positive experiences. Unfortunately, that was not the case with this trip.

This was an amazing adventure and an excellent tour. I would highly recommend Intrepid Travel if anyone is considering a gorilla trek. Our guides were very knowledgeable and the accomodations were exceptional. Seeing the gorillas was an experience beyond words. A truly life changing moment.

Wonderful once in a lifetime experience to spend an hour with the mountain gorillas. In addition you will see lots of other wildlife (Zebra, Hippos, giraffes etc). The accommodation is superb and all meals included. Felt very spoilt.

The tour was a really unforgattable experience! We felt safe all the way, surrounded by friendly people everywhere. Abdul, our guide was like a father to our very diverse family of 7 travellers. All the hotels and lodges were the best available in the country with excellent lodging and food. Note: prepare yourself for long car trips and do hire a porter in Bwindi!

We had a great trip everything was wonderful the gorilla trek was the highlight but I was amazed at the beauty of Uganda. I would highly recommend this tour

An excellent introduction to Uganda and a brief glimpse of Rwanda and its history. A brilliant opportunity to see gorillas and other animals in outstanding settings.

Great trip! Learned a lot about Africa

Die 6-Tages-Tour von Kampala nach Kigali war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis! Die Reiseleitung, die Unterkünfte und die Verpflegung waren super. Wir haben Land und Leute kennen und lieben gelernt; die Begegnung mit den Gorillas krönte das Ganze!

We traveled to Uganda/Rwanda with Intrepid and absolutely loved it. Group leaders were friendly and knowledgeable. The trip was simply amazing and as far as the Gorilla trekking ……..words can not describe it! It is not for the “faint of heart “ though. Some trekking can last all day and be very physically challenging. The hotels were wonderful and the staff was very attentive. Would highly recommend this premium trip.

Amazing trip all around - something I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Incredible experiences and people, felt safe and well taken care of. Thank you for everything Darlene and crew!
