Our family of four booked with New Horizons for the 6 Days Rwanda-Uganda Gorilla Experience. We made a few changes to the 'standard' itinerary to suit our preferences and New Horizons were very accommodating and responsive to our requests. The tour itself was an amazing experience, combining wildlife tours while also learning of Rwandan/Ugandan culture. Hotels and food options were also excellent. Our guide for the tour, Viateur, was absolutely fantastic. He took care of all of our needs and shared his own personal perspectives of life in eastern Arica. Hearing from local guides gave us a much broader experience on the tour and we very much hope to visit this part of the world again in the future.
