I'd like to do a tour in Rwanda, primarily to see and LEARN about the gorillas, but it seems you have no availability when I will be there. Ideally, I'd like to do something from the 31 July. If this is impossible then I'd could do something en-route back to Canada from South Africa ... from the 14th Aug. Can you help me?

Looking at our dates of availability, it seems the only date that would be close to working with your timeframe is our August 18-25 departure which has one space remaining.

An amazing experience I will never forget! Gorilla trekking was much easier than expected, for which I was very grateful for being 70 yrs old (we really lucked out they were at the border of the park). Our guide was very knowledgeable, patient and kind. Akagera National Park was beautiful and allowed us to see many animals; really enjoyed the boat ride in the lake at dusk! Accomodations and food were great! Highly recommend! The only downfall I would say is this company, G Adventures, was not the most respectful in relaying answers from my questions. They also never followed up or seemed to care how this is went, as opposed to Worldwide Adventures who I used for my Tanzanian trip later.Show more
