    Edward

    Asked on June 27th, 2024

    I'd like to do a tour in Rwanda, primarily to see and LEARN about the gorillas, but it seems you have no availability when I will be there. Ideally, I'd like to do something from the 31 July. If this is impossible then I'd could do something en-route back to Canada from South Africa ... from the 14th Aug. Can you help me?

    Tour Details
    • Looking at our dates of availability, it seems the only date that would be close to working with your timeframe is our August 18-25 departure which has one space remaining.
