    gorillas, chimps, nasai Mari game reserve unforgettable experiences. inc. permits cost 1500 USD , so this excellent value. however there is a lot of travelling on the bus as they do a loop.. I would say consider flying into Rwanda go into Uganda to see gorill (800 in Uganda vrs 1509 usd in rwanda) then join a tour that includes 2 days in masai mari.

    The tour was good but a lot of space for improvement . Lunch menu could be reviewed. Some times the Facilities in the camping sites were not working no flash or no hot water . Long driving hours , some times longer than mentioned in the trip notes. Out of the 16 days we had 5 full days of driving. So 11 days out of which the arrival and departure days. If you book in advance an activity you will be charged much more. In my case the golden monkeys was charged 180 usd and locally it was 100 usd. An other traveler booked in advance the ballon but she was not charged more . So there is some ambiguity in the pricing …. If you are Australian you would be privileged… as regards pricing . This is what I have understood. I am well traveled and it is the first time I see such ambiguity in the price of pre booked activities.
