a great pleasure, one of the best animal experience
we were very lucky, the weather was good. The way to the gorillas was exhausting (especially for my wife) but we reach the gorillas after one and a half hour. We were lucky to see the whole family (silverback with babies) in a meadow, so we had enough light for photos (if you like I can send you more photos) . After an hour we go back in an very happy mood.

Review about Uganda by Gerhard Mauracher
In Uganda you can see the green (more rainy) Africa, and you see two kinds of great apes. In other countries are more great herds (Tanzania, Kenya).

Exciting but not very challenging
There was a lot of build up to my visit which made me expect if would be very difficult for me to do. Because of this I was very excited and looking forward to a challenging maybe dangerous experience. In truth my experience involved walking along the road into the bush about 50 metres and there were these tame looking gorillas. We were back at the resort within the hour. Others in our travel group trekked for 3-5hours and had a very exciting experience. I felt duped and very ripped off by the Ugandans who managed the gorilla trekking.
We had paid the obligatory $500 to help with the preservation of the gorillas habitat plus paid for local guides who would help carry our lunch pack and required water bottles, 1litre each, or our cameras over difficult terrain, and we had waited for people to go and get heavy duty footwear on, listened to all the instructions about how to manage the trek and so the anticipation was great. The guides carried guns which all suited the drama I expected. All for a 10min walk 30min photo session and 10mins back. Very disappointed....but we did see the gorillas and got great photos.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by MeisjeSanne
An exotic park with more than just flamingos. Both Black and White Rhino are found here. There are huge herds of waterbuck, zebra, buffalo, the endangered Rothschild Giraffe and more.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by michi_z
Naukuru is the the best place to watch rhinos. The park is not large but apart from the lake magnificant birdlife (much more than the flamingoes) on and around the lake there are lots of rhinos ( about 120 I blelieve) which are well profected by the KWS. There are also some Rothschild Giraffes which have been hunted close to extinction in the original habitats.
The backdraw of Naukuru is the massive touris, especially on weekends.

Review about Hell's Gate National Park by michi_z
Hells Gate is a nice, small and very different National Park close to Lake Naivasha. The main attraction is, suprisingly, not the wildlife but the gorge. The landscape has been formed by giantic ancient streams of lava. A walk (climbing with a guide) though is an exciting advanture. It is the only Park in Kenya you can explore on a bicycle cause of the absence of large predetors (so they say).
