Private departure holidays to Uganda, independent reviews
 Reviewed 9 Oct 2008 by Gerard O'Hanlon |  |
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Getting close to gorillas in their forest home will be unforgettable. The Nile boat trips are excellent also.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Just go. Don't expect to see lots of big cats (although we did see some lions and leopards) - but seeing the gorillas is very special and the rest of the wildlife is great also.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Benefits local people only in so far that hotels and guiding provide jobs. Benefits the environment because visitors create a reason for the national parks to exist, and are clearly one of the reasons why mountain gorillas are hanging on.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
A very memorable trip in a beautiful country. The Ugandan people are very welcoming and the wildlife is spectacular.
