Delta were really special.
Tips?
Be prepared for very early starts and not much relaxing times.
Local benefits?
Yes, local guides were used in a number of locations but obviously driving such
long distances is not exactly environmentally friendly.

Seeing the gorillas. Visiting the Pygmy village.
Tips?
Bring long trousers and T-shirts to cover up in Uganda. Pack lightly as there is laundry at the campsite.
Local benefits?
Yes, particularly when visiting the Pygmy village and the Kenyan school.
My trip was the first 19 days of a longer 75 day tour. Whilst I did not go on this activity I know that later in the longer tour they go on a lion walk. I would urge you to research the company that runs this... (more)Genevieve Isherwood

Watching lions and Cubs playing
Tips?
Be prepared for long hours on a a pretty uncomfortable truck - roads are often very bumpy. Cook groups - better to see what the supermarket offers before deciding what to cook! As mentioned in the trip notes, showers were very variable so be prepared for cold water or little pressure.
Local benefits?
I do. Money from the game reserves obviously helps protect the animals. Local people? I am not sure. We were not encouraged... (more)Philippa Clarke

The elephant by the side of the road in the wildlife corridor when we stopped to use the 'bush toilet'. The driver had not noticed it behind the solitary tree
before we got out of the vehicle. I would also say the group of people I was with: the other tourists, and our driver and cook. Camping in the Khama Rhino
Sanctuary and the Okavango Delta were amazing because these were the only times we truly were around nature and wildlife when not on a scheduled tour.

The most memorable part of the trip was the gorilla trekking. (more)Angela Reader
The most memorable part of the Uganda Gorilla trip was being ferried up the vertical incline of the mountainside by the 12 porters it took...The porters worked incredibly hard for 6 hours. Both times I did get to see the gorillas for the allotted hour. (more)Giselle Hagenmayer
Every day there was a new highlight. Walking through the forest and getting the first glimpse of a silverback gorilla was surreal. I was a little surprised by all the wildlife we got to see throughout our travels. (more)Sharra

Memorable parts?
The opportunity to be in such close proximity to a large range of wild animals in their natural habitat.
Tips?
It's not always easy to access a bank so when you get the chance, get plenty of the local currency. ATMs are not always reliable. We were advised never to put
a card into an ATM in Zimbabwe = high risk of being swallowed up. Better to take plenty of dollars or other accepted currency. Avoid salads, drinks with ice, tap water - even for rinsing your toothbrush.... (more)Joy Davies

Memorable parts?
All of the trip was fantastic, but meeting the Gorillas was mind blowing.
Tips?
Make sure you are reasonably active. There were two ladies in their late 50's and our Gorilla Trek lasted around 6 hours. Bring a head torch with you.
Local benefits?
The holiday definitely benefited local people as it gives them a change to interact with people they would normally never see i.e. the Pygmy people.
Overall rating?
11 out of 10. The tour was absolutely fantastic... (more)Ian Robertson
