an unforgettable experience in beautiful wildlife and kind people in Uganda
I have always in mind a gorilla trekkiing trip as a mental and physical challenge before I turn 70. I finally made it with this 5-day package, with both Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking. I love the wildlife but I often see much beauty in meeting friendly people in foreign land.
#1 Mission completed for the gorilla trekking in Buhoma section of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, after ascending 269m elevation in rough foot tracks.
#2 The chimpanzee trekking in Kyambura Gorge is an optional trip as a pleasant surprise.
#3 I joined a guided bicycle tour in Bwindi "Ride 4 a Woman" lodge. I fell down in the rough road and experienced how caring the people around could be, helping me to rest, pushing the bicycle for me, giving me water and a good rest before I could enjoy my ride back to the lodge.
This 5-day package is an eye-opener for me as I know none of my friends in Hong Kong have visited Uganda before. I have seen a bit of the beauty of wildlife (much more than gorillas and chimpanzees!) and experienced many kind people around me (especially driver guide Derrick, bicyle guide Lyndon) who exemplify as the cultural ambassdors for Uganda. The list of kind people runs long (but lots of crazy drivers around).
So much to see and to experience in Uganda that I wish to return soon.

Awesome experience
I went on a trip in Uganda few months back. The safari we went was an unforgettable experience. We got our guide from Home to Africa travels and tours and he was quite knowledgeable, fries didn’t well spoken. While providing necessary pandemic precautions we had an amazing experience witnessing the wild life and natural habitat.

an experience to remember
Nasser was our guide/driver... a lovely man who was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, had a great love for his country and nothing was too much trouble for him. He has been in this business for long enough to know everyone, which was invaluable even on our first day when a couple of phone calls brought us straight to a pride of lions eating their kill.. magical! Our hotels.. you couldnt expect higher standards.. and food was excellent and plentiful. Elias.. the boss.. also went above and beyond to make sure our Ugandan experience went without a hitch.
The only bit of advice i could give.. maybe give yourself a day in the city to sort yourself out before embarking on the safari.. i myself wasted some of our own time... no fault of h to a. Dont bother checking out any other safari companies .. click straight on Home to Africa!
