Day 1 he was great, but his Lack of follow through and dishonesty with $ exchange were disappoint
4/5

The tour itself was everything I had hoped for. The group was great and went a great pace. The gorillas were amazing, and we had a few surprises on the way back when we met some on the trail! The flight back was wonderful, but the driver dropped me off over an hour and a half early to the local airport, which I didn’t think was necessary. It would have been nice to have been more relaxed at the hotel a bit longer as opposed to sitting at the local airstrip.

4/5

Our driver, Jason, was very professional, efficient and knowledgeable as well as being a good driver. He taught us a lot about local things in Rwanda and Uganda. The tented camp and gorilla trekking as well as the village tour were outstanding and the staff were very kind and helpful. All was very well done.

Close encounters with animals in the wild
4/5

All services were all right, everyone tried to make us feel comfortable and the encounters with animals lived up to our expectations.
We missed more local food in the lodges and maybe a half-day cycling activity.

Good experience
4/5

Our driver Phennie was very helpful with our questions, not only informative about the wildlife but also helped us to plan our next step of our journey once we left him.

The communication was quite good before the trip also, although we would have appreciated the option to pay online or credit card!

Amazing
4/5

Overall very good experience with Encounter Africa Safaris. Our driver and guide was nice and took care of us very good. Made the payment in advance from another continent, I was very suspicious to pay such big amount but all went well! Amazing to see the gorillas from such short distance!

Amazing experience, to have the opportunity to Watch the Gorillas in their enviaronment was Unique
4/5

At The begining I was affraid of booking and pay in advance the gorilla permition with I considered a little expensive, but after reading other reviews and checking the Auto website. I decided to choose encounter. They are very professional, they send me all the information which is important to read. They were on time and he lo me with all my requirents. In Bwindi is material of luck to walk a couple of hours or more Before finding the Gorillas but it is absolutly wonderful. I recomend to follow all instructions and take a Porter in my case was very very helo full.
