3-dages Bwindi Gorilla Tracking Midrange Tour

I was picked up in my hotel in Kigali (Rwanda) by Henry and Denis, and driven to Uganda through the Katuna border for the Gorilla tracking experience. I was traveling alone, and the agency took care of my gorilla permit, my hotel booking, my meals and every (private) transfer until I was dropped off back in Kigali. At every step I felt completely safe and taken care of by Henry and Denis who stayed with me the whole 3 days. They even bought me an adaptor and got me local cash to buy crafts. They waited for me and cheered when I came back from my Gorilla tracking hike. We had an great time together driving through the incredible sights Rwanda and Uganda have to offer. Henry and Denis also took me to see the work they do in their community with part of the money earned by the agency. Henry's wife, Daisy runs Heart 2 Heart, a school for little kids that live in the area around the Bwindi National Park. The kids not only get educated, but also fed. As it is the only place where they can get 2 meals per day. Denis also works at Jungle Java, a coffee shop that also supports the community by giving access to a source of income for the parents. I was able to meet the kids, see the classrooms and have a delicious cup of coffee while appreciating the amazing work this people are doing for their community. I also was able to get a guided walk around the village of the Batwa tribe and see how they used to live inside the Bwindi forest. I cant recommend this enough. Not only you get to have your amazing travel experience; you also get to make it matter and have an impact on the lives of these amazing people.
