Three of us experienced the 8 Days Uganda & Rwanda Gorilla Trekking & Wildlife Tour on a private tour with Devine Tours and could not fault the care we received from our guide/drive, Ema. There were many highlights and seeing the wild life in their natural environment is incredible along with the Gorillas which was a pinch me moment, but I would also like to mention the local people who were memorable due to their constant big smiles and kindness. It was an adventure to remember and one we will talk about for many years to come. If you are thinking of visiting I would highly recommend a private tour with Devine Tours.Show more
