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.
