Responsive, Friendly and Conscientious Tour Operator!
Magical Gorilla Adventures was amazingly responsive from the onset of planning our trip through the end of our journey. Both Aina and Kolo were accessible at any time with any questions or clarifications that we had. Their pricing was competitive and the itinerary they assembled took into consideration our request to not only see the animals but to also get a flavor for Rwandan and Tanzanian culture (tribes, villages, arts, museums, etc).
The tour itself was great but also pretty rigorous for us (we are active seniors). Lots of riding on bumpy, dusty, rutty roads in Tanzania - for HOURS each day, either on game drives or to get from place to place. By the fourth day of that, we were kind of exhausted from it. But, that's Tanzania.... Rwanda was charming; had better roads, was incredibly clean.
Visiting with the several tribes we had on our itinerary was great, as was the gorilla trekking. We loved the initial game drives in Tanzania, but as mentioned, once we were able to view all the animals (we caught all the Big 5!), we decided to try different activities (waterfall hike, hot springs swim).
