    Three of us experienced the 8 Days Uganda & Rwanda Gorilla Trekking & Wildlife Tour on a private tour with Devine Tours and could not fault the care we received from our guide/drive, Ema. There were many highlights and seeing the wild life in their natural environment is incredible along with the Gorillas which was a pinch me moment, but I would also like to mention the local people who were memorable due to their constant big smiles and kindness. It was an adventure to remember and one we will talk about for many years to come. If you are thinking of visiting I would highly recommend a private tour with Devine Tours.

    The guide, the itinerary and overall organization was very good. The only thing we did not like was the distance of the Emeraude Kivu Resort, where we stayed for 3 nights, from Nyungwe Park to which we had to drive every morning (4:00am). Over 1 hour drive one way was way too long.

    The tour was great. The itinerary was well thought out and reasonably paced.The guide, Lucky, was a little inexperienced but was very efficient and kind. He dealt with every aspect of the tour quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend him. Touring Rwanda was one of the best experiences we had during our many years of travelling. I would highly recommend this tour.

    I deliberately chose an inexpensive tour because my intention was to see animals rather than utilize luxury accommodations. I was not disappointed. The tour promised a number of items and never failed to deliver.
