    The gorilla trek was incredible. The hike itself through the misty forest was very special. Seeing the gorillas for a full hour is something I'll remember for the rest of my life. It's a totally unique experience. The Ugandan highlands are also so fun to drive through. Our driver Herbert picked us up in Kigali and provided transport to Uganda and back. Herbert was a fantastic driver. He's very knowledgeable about the area and was a lot of fun to talk to. He took care of all paperwork and park entrance details. I highly recommend him.

    Bamboo Ecotours were really great to deal with. Edison was prompt in answering emails and queries. The trip worked out perfectly and met our expectations without exception. We were able to fit everything into a tight schedule. Our guides Joseph and Herbert were very well organised and made sure we had a good time and were always safe and well looked after. The gorilla trek itself was real highlight and was very well coordinated. It only took one hour to get to the spot where our designated family group appeared to be waiting for us to arrive. We were amazed to find the gorillas sitting around going about their daily business and not bothered by our presence. The thrill of being so close to these wonderful creatures and sensing how comfortable they were was truly beautiful. To know that they were not threatened by us, was the most rewarding experience. We were able to observe them for more than an hour and of course took plenty of great photos and videos of the silver backs, mothers, juveniles and a couple of adorable babies. We also hired (our own expense) a porter to assist with our bags and getting us up and down the muddy mountainside. This was agreed to be very worthwhile. During our four-day tour we also travelled through three other parks and saw a variety of wildlife up close. We got to see nearly all of the creatures mentioned in our itinerary. The accommodation booked by Bamboo Ecotours was of a very high standard and did not disappoint. The guides were very punctual and thorough in their organisation of our tour and we felt we received great value for money. I would highly recommend Bamboo Ecotours to anyone wanting to make a similar trek through Uganda and/or Rwanda.

    Five-star guide Joseph and driver Herbert have made our trip unforgettable with Bamboo Eco Tours. They took us safely from place to place, let us know in advance about the upcoming activities, and managed unforeseen events with the smooth attitude that is born of experience. Each of them has years in the industry and they are a great asset for a trip to Uganda. Often, tourists from the USA or other parts of the world may feel nervous to visit a place like Uganda because of rumors in the news and hype about concerns. While these issues should be considered for individual needs, we think that tourists who travel with Joseph and Herbert can confidently feel safe and at ease. We enjoyed many unforgettable adventures: game drives, boat rides, hikes, jungle safaris, and more. We talked in the car as we drove from place to place, and we took in the sights of the countryside. For example, we were amazed to walk near rhinos in the sanctuary, stand at the base of a tree where chimps were eating figs, and view the big five from the safety of our chauffeured van. Edison was very responsive to questions while we were booking, and the experience has been top rate all the way through. In sum, we wanted to leave a five-star review here so that tourists who are considering traveling with Bamboo Eco Tours will see this vote of confidence.
