Visited the gorillas at Bwindi.
My expectations were high - I'd paid a lot for the permit, travelled a long way to get here, and everyone who'd been said it was a magic experience. I was put with my peers in the older group - all highly mobile, but perhaps not as fit as the younger ones. We were lucky, after a magic half an hour walk through the jungle we found the amazing giants,. As everyone says, just being with these animals is a wonderful experience, all I had hoped for, but the real stars were our guides and trackers, who skilfully managed our proximity to the gorillas to give us an amazing experience while managing the interaction to ensure our safety, and not upsetting the gorillas. These guys are amazing!!!

Climbing Lions are just Wow..!!
It was a little boaring evening game drive on first day as we only sighted some antelopes and wild boars in Kibale NP. Part of an hour the game drive, we saw 3 females lions from a far and even with a binocular, the lions were too far from clear. But, the next morning drive in the Ishasha sector was much more rewarding and wonderful. We saw groups of elephants (including baby elephants) and buffaloes crossing into our land cruizer's path. We also get oportunity to came up close to 3 elephants. After another 3 hours gruelling drive and dozed off under the heat, then we finally found a lion climbing up on the tree. According to our guide Frank, beautiful male lion rarely comes out in the morning so we were very lucky at that particular time!

Adventures with the East African Jungle Safaris made it simply superb.
We had a wonderful safari with East African Jungle Safaris in Tanzania ( including Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Tarangire). It started with an easy booking process with the help of Ruth and flexibility regarding all the wishes we had. He helped to create our dream safari. The team members of East African Jungle Safaris organised an airport pick up and accommodation for the first night. As this was our first time in Africa, it was helpful to us to know that everything had been organised. During our safari at this great place, Samuel was our guide for the whole of the trip. He was great! Friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly has a passion for what he does. He always managed everything accurately to get us at the right spot to see the animals and to take beautiful pics and made this experience very special. We had such a great time with him. We would recommend East African Jungle Safaris to everyone who are planing for a trip to here bacause You are going dealing with people who are very helpful, reliable, and honest. No hidden costs or promises they did not keep.

Had amazing Mountain Gorilla trip with Freka African Holidays.
Freka African Holidays through Josephine, Booked my Trip December last Year and everything from Lodging to transportation, my safari Dreams were achieved and his Personality made me enjoy every spot of my Safari.
The time which we had with watching the Gorillas is the best thing that has ever happened to my life. Now, Uganda has increased Gorilla Permit Fees and thus I recommend you to book your gorillas tour with Josephine of Freka African Holidays, they always had a good offered price for tour. Search for it and you shall never regret your decision. As per my experience, Bwindi is the best place for hiking and encounter with gorillas.

Excellent 7 days budget trip
Well organised trip with great driver/guide through the parks (including very nice sleeping condition and delicious food). I was impressed by the quick respond and replacement of vehicle when unexpected flood occurred on our way in Amboseli National Park, they made sure we will not miss anything from our program. Can really recommend them.

Went Uphill both ways but worth it...!!
Our trek lasted at 4PM, so we had an intermediate hike, some go longer. We started out strong but the hills climbing were really tough. Taking help of walking sticks was so good while going up as well as down.
Luckily, our guide Frank helped to hire a porter to carry our bagpacks. He eventually carried all of our stuff for us to make it. A lady in our group really struggled at the onset but one of the rangers eventually carried her bag to keep us moving.
We got to the gorilla family at about 11:30 and we just have got a little over an hour with them. We had to move around a lot as they were active. At one point we were watching the adult hang out while two younger ones played - just like what you would see in the park.
After our time we left and hiked for a while and stopped for lunch, we had an actual lunch with us but the others only had snacks and finished quick. Then we hiked the rest of the way back.
Most thankful to Frank for the help, we had the stick and brought good gloves, also we had long socks to tuck in our pants. It is what kept all of us initially in our long sleeves.
And definitely glad I paid the $20 (and gave a big tip) for the porter.
