    I can't recommend this for enough. Geofrey our guide was amazing. He treated us like family and have us the best experience in such a short time in Uganda. The Gorillas have left us speechless. What a privilege that we are able to sirens time with these majestic creatures in their habitat. The trek is very well organised and the tour guides for the trek were awesome. Geofrey, made sure that we were looked after by reputable locals whilst doing village tours. We really enjoyed our time and couldn't have asked for anyone better to guide us they this experience.

    Our guide/driver Geofrey is an extremely knowledgable guide for our journey that included river rafting on the nile, chimpanzee trekking, game drives in national parks, and gorilla trekking in Bwindi. All local guides and rangers showed knowledge of the animals, fauna, and local lifestyles. We also experienced several community and cultural experiences in small towns and rural areas, with opportunities to participate in the activities. Lodges were high quality, safe, and splashing with Ugandan local flavor. I felt very safe in all parts of Uganda.

    Our guide Remmy was the best. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna. He especially accommodated the birders in our group. We enjoyed his good natured demeanor. As far as accommodations and tour schedule, we were very pleased. We will be happy to recommend Tourradar and Primate World Safaris to all our friends and family. Respectfully, Dan and Karen Flanagan
