- CBCiaranWritten on June 21, 20163.0 - AverageThe tour was good for seeing the gorillas at a relatively cheap price though I feel the other included days were a bit of a waste of time as there wasn't really much to do. I would have preferred the tour to have been cheaper and only 4 days maximum. The guides were friendly. Unfortunately some people had their belongings stolen at one of the hostels we stayed at, maybe a poor choice. Food included was tasty.Show detailed ratings
Absolute Africa commented on this reviewThank you for your comments Ciaran. We are sorry that you felt the Gorilla Stop was too long. We do always need an extra day in the itinerary on the trips up to the gorillas as we cannot always guarantee getting all the permits on the same day throughout the year and if ever the gorillas are not found, they allow us to trek the following day. The days at Kisoro are free days, so as well as trekking the gorillas there are other options available, such as visiting the Golden Moneys in Mgahinga National Park, a Batwa (pygmy) trail, a coffee plantation tour and also Dian Fossey's grave. Or you can just relax by Lake Mutande. We spoke to the hostel where you stayed as a priority following the incident you mention, as security is of the utmost importance to us. We have been assured that new security arrangements have been put in place as a result. We are glad to hear your guides were friendly and that you enjoyed seeing the endangered gorillas in their forest home. Thanks again for your feedback.
