Great customer service from a friendly team, a great Gorilla Trekking to Bwindi Impenetrable park
We had a great Gorilla trekking adventure to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park with Sites Travel Uganda.
Our four days Gorilla trek to Bwindi National Park started with Sites Travel Uganda picking us from the Entebbe airport in a clean, brand new Toyota Land Cruiser to Kampala city centre where we stayed before leaving for Kabale the following day - about 400km west of the city.
The journey to Kabale was fun, with a friendly driver who could speak in different languages to the locals on the way. We had numerous stop-overs on the way either to buy roasted chicken (muchomo) or crafts. The vehicle (4x4) was air conditioned and very comfortable for five passengers, We stayed at upscale Mahogany Springs in the town of Buhoma, which was very nice. Our package included entry fees to the National Park and 2 ranger guides (who are armed). Our local guide was from Sites Travel Uganda (www.sitestravel-ug.com)and he carried a couple of books for us.
We walked along a forest path and deep into the forest on our first day before we reached on the top of the ridge where a group of Gorillas were grazing - they were probably around 12. It was the greatest experience of my life - being so close to those magnificent creatures.
The rest of the trip was very smooth and fun.
Our experience with Sites Travel Uganda was great right from the start to the end and I think their charges are fair compared to other agencies we contacted.
I 100% recommend Sites Travel to anyone who wishes to go to Uganda.
