    This was a trip of a lifetime! From being picked up by my driver, and now new friend, Fred, to the beautiful Heaven Boutique in Rwanda, to the comfy facilities at Karungi Camp in Uganda (not to mention the friendly staff and delicious food), and last but not least, to the AMAZING Gorilla Trekking in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park ?. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you, Fred, for your amazing customer service. You made me feel safe throughout the trip and shared with me the beautiful culture of Rwanda and Uganda. I wish you and Bamboo Tours all the best

    Our 3 day Gorilla trek from Kigali was fabulous. Communication with the company was very good.... the whole tour ran very smoothly. We were the only 2 on our tour so received individualised attention from our driver Amanya. He really took care of us and we learnt a lot from him. He was very personable and easy going It was a pleasure to spend the 3 days with him. Our gorilla experience was magical... it was a privilege to be in the presence of these animals. Our accommodation at Kuranji lodge was basic but comfortable with good food and friendly, accommodating staff. Thank you for a great experience.

    Just wow! Pick up in Kigali with a 5 hour drive across border into Uganda. Border crossing took about 30 minutes of this due to x ray of bags and walking across border. Accommodations at the lodge were basic, but it was a community sponsored lodge, so we felt like we were helping the locals. Basic room with a bed, a bathroom, and a front porch. One outlet, one light in the bedroom, one in the bathroom and one on the from porch. WIFI available at the restaurant and reception, although we could get it in our room. The food was great at the restaurant. People very friendly and helpful. The gorilla trek was fantastic! Family of 13 gorillas appeared in front of us and spent an hour in our midst. Unbelievable experience! $800 of your trip goes to your entrance fee to the Brindi Park. Jackson was our guide and did a great job.
