Bwindi Gorilla Trekking 3 Days
We went to a Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi impenetrable forest. Our guide Chris provided us with a very good service. He picked us up (we were 3 people) in Kigali and drove us directly to the Ichumbi lodge, where we stayed the night before and after the trekking. On the way he organised and pre-ordered lunch for us in a hotel on the way (there were three menu options, one of them vegetarian) and he organised everything at the border from Rwanda to Uganda and made sure we did not have to stand in long queues. Along the way he knew the best places to take a beautiful picture, and he would tell us interesting facts about country and culture every now and then. He is a good driver and comfortable to be around. The lodge was lovely; nice location, perfect service, good food.
At the day of the trekking we were brought to a different zone of the national park than we had booked. We think this was probably because February is low season, so they put the tourists from two neighboring zones together to make a complete group. So it was a 1 hour drive in the morning to where the trekking started, but we did not mind because the sunrise was stunning, with mist hanging between the mountains. So Chris patiently stopped the car and I could take one of my favourite pictures of the trip.
We were lucky on the trekking and found the gorillas after about 1.5h. It’s an incredible experience. The rangers also make sure that everybody gets a good spot to watch the gorillas and they’ll take a pic for you if you ask.
Over all we are all very happy with the trip, and we always felt save and well looked after with Chris on our side, patiently answering any questions, looking after us and being a good “host”.
