Good tour with friendly assistance
Overall experience was satisfactory.
From the beginning of booking to the end of tour, Mercy, the tour agent was very supportive with providing decent information. Itinararies of the tour was slightly different/changed from the original but was pretty satisfactory reorganized. Drivers of tours both in Kenya & Tanzania were very friendly and well informative.
Some areas could be improved as below
-provide more detail such as who is coming to pick me up, where exactly take off the shuttle bus
-driver should know the name of guests / I came to pick you up (to avoid picking up wrong guests)
-upgrade chairs for camps in Tanzania / other tours had much better chairs
-lake Manyara NP must be visited before Serengeti as the original itinarariry. After Serengeti & Ngorongoro, Manyara gave less opportunities to see animals due to higher trees.
However, overall good experience & recommend to my friends.

Could not be more impressed with my experience Gorilla trekking with Chigo Tours in Uganda!
I had the pleasure of going on a Gorilla Trek with Chigo tours in Feb 2019. Could not have asked for a better experience. Arranging the trek was seamless, no problems with doing it all via email through Chigo tours. Received lots of information from our guide, Martin, well before the trip informing us of what to expect, what to bring, and all the ins and outs of the trek day. All of the information sent was perfect. All arrangements were made in advanced allowing us to relax and focus on the trip itself.
Martin not only organized everything for us but also accompanied us throughout. All arrangements for travel and accommodations were fantastic. The lodging at Ichumbi Gorilla lodge was amazing, great views, great rooms and great people. All transport went flawlessly and Martin was an amazing navigator of the Ugandan roads. We arrived in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and met our guides for the hikes as well as a few other hikers. The hike was amazing, we lucked out and only went about 1.5 hours before catching up to the gorilla family. We had the opportunity to spent over an hour with the gorillas, and they could not have been more cooperative!
The whole experience was amazing and I can not thank Martin Ngabirano and Chigo tours more. They arranged for a fantastic trip and everything went extremely smoothly. Martin was not only excellent at arranging everything and keeping us well informed, he was also more than willing to answer any and all questions we had about the safari, life in Uganda, or anything else we asked. He was also very accommodating, adjusting his arrangements to our requests, for example, taking us to a village to shop for souvenirs.
Should I have the good fortune to return to Uganda, I will most definitely try and book another adventure with Martin and Chigo, without hesitation. I strongly recommend him and Chigo if you are considering this amazing opportunity in the future.Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Beautiful
It is just great to drive through these parks, in the early morning or late evening hours and witness the beauty of the nature.
