What a trip….. Our trip is organized by East Africa Adventure and African Expert Safaris handled our Rwanda portion. Gordon was our guide/driver. He exceeded all our expectation. Gorilla and Golden Monkey Trekking were amazing. He made sure we were on the easy trekking route. During the tour, Gordon demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the local history. He is flexible and listen to our needs. He took us to a café for local lunch and a culture center for dinner. Arranged custom made clothing (including alternation) for my daughter because her luggage was delayed by KLM. He called his friend at the airport to make sure the luggage were delivered. I would highly recommend Gordon to anyone looking for a personalized, engaging, and memorable travel experience to Rwanda and Uganda. I’ll definitely be booking again on my next visit!Posted on Tour16452180994Verified incredible experience My name is Yerson, I'm 30 years old, and I'm Chilean, living in Chile (South America). One of my childhood dreams was to visit Africa and observe animals in their natural habitat. That's how I decided to visit Rwanda and Uganda. During my stay in these countries, I was fortunate enough to be referred to this travel agency. My driver and guide was Gordon Congo, a very kind Ugandan man with extensive experience in tours. He was punctual, respectful, and attentive to my needs at all times. He acted like a father to me, for which I am very grateful and wholeheartedly recommend him. As for Uganda, it's a unique place in the heart of Africa, and I encourage the world to visit this country.Posted on nurit lVerified Highly recommended !!!

Our guide, Harryson, was absolutely amazing – kind, knowledgeable, and always made sure we felt safe and enjoyed the journey.
