The gorilla trek was incredible. The hike itself through the misty forest was very special. Seeing the gorillas for a full hour is something I'll remember for the rest of my life. It's a totally unique experience. The Ugandan highlands are also so fun to drive through. Our driver Herbert picked us up in Kigali and provided transport to Uganda and back. Herbert was a fantastic driver. He's very knowledgeable about the area and was a lot of fun to talk to. He took care of all paperwork and park entrance details. I highly recommend him.
