Excellent Gorilla Trek Experience
We flew into Kigali and Bamboo picked us up from the hotel and handled transport and paperwork to the Ugandan highlands and Bwindi. We loved our experience. The hike itself is gorgeous and the terrain is very different from anything in the US. The experience with the gorillas was totally unique and something I'll remember for the rest of my life. Our driver Herbert was very knowledgeable about the area and a lot of fun to talk to. He took great care of us and even returned to the hotel after dripping us off because we forgot something important in the car. I highly recommend him.

Reliable, professional, accessible, flexible.
We can only recommend Bamboo Ecotours as travel agency. Initial contact was very fast and easy. During the booking process we felt well guided by Edison who assured our trust in the payment procedure. The basic rate is still comfortable with own toilet/bathroom in every accommodation. They provided good and mostly organic food. We enjoyed, that we could adjust the travel route to our preferences (e.g. Pick-up in Kigali, drop-off in Kampala). We will never forget the Gorilla trekking and Chimp trekking! You should not miss an overnight stay at lake Bunyonyi.
A special recommendation goes to our driver, Jackson, on whom we could not only rely 100 % but who was also the source of cultural and historical insights on Uganda and who - through his clever and intelligent personality - made longer car trips a very pleasant experience. If you can, pick him!

Amazing
The trip with Bamboo Ecotours was fantastic, I enjoyed every single part of it. It was super well organized. Edison answered quickly to each of my emails and explained every single thing to the max. Thank you!. The accommodation selected at each place was a spot on, clean, magical views and plenty of space. The food provided was tasty and well cooked too. I was never hungry! The landscapes were amazing as well as the people. I saw Gorillas, Chimps and Leopards, so good! The vehicle was also very comfortable. I was a solo traveler and felt comfortable the whole time.
My tour guide Godfrey was lovely and kind. He is such a good driver and has lots of knowledge about the area and the fauna of the place.
Thank you both for an amazing trip!

Reliable
Great service and very responsive. The trip was organised exactly as I imagined and I had a great time. Saw gorillas up close, chimps, hippos, elephants and so much more.. My driver/guide was available, knowledgeable, responsive and on time. I would say that Bamboo Ecotours is a safe pair of hands. You can trust them to ensure your trip is seamless! Also good value for money. I was a solo traveler and felt safe and comfortable during my whole trip in Rwanda and Uganda.

Friendly and reliable.
Had a FANTASTIC tour with Bamboo Ecotours. As a woman traveling alone I felt safe the whole time. Had excellent food & my guide knew a ton about the locations we visited. They were able to secure me a gorilla trekking permit last minute.
I loved my tour and wish I could have stayed longer.

Perfect trip with Amanya and Bamboo Ecotours
Going with guide/driver Amanya from Bamboo Ecotours on the 2-day-tour from Kigali to Bwindi National Park seeing mountain gorillas.
Nice person, good at telling about Rwanda and Uganda, the trek and so on - and a safe driver.
Would definitely recommend others to go!

Terrific and Professional!
I did a 7-day tour with Bamboo Ecotours, including both Rwanda/Uganda. They were very helpful in also adding Akagera to their more standard 6 day Rwanda & Uganda Wildlife Safari itinerary. Edison and our driver/guide Fred were very professional and went above and beyond throughout. I would highly recommend them. It was an absolutely incredible experience.

Anazing trips and superb organisation
I cannot recommend Bamboo Ecotours highly enough! Edison was the most superb organiser from day one. As a highly organised person I met a kindred spirit! From the planning stage to the trip, he was mega efficient, quick to reply, and so helpful with organising - even items outside the tour of which the highlight was mountain gorilla trekking. Our guide Fred was so knowledgeable and looked after us so well. The trio lived up to all our expectations - and more!

All good as planned.
My guide and driver Herbert was very good. We faced many challenges in the roads but he is very skilled to overcome all of them. Also, a nice company during the trips. I recommend Bamboo Ecotours and Herbert as tour partners.
