Amassing Gorilla trekking Uganda

08-Feb-2019

I had a wonderful Gorilla Trek in Rushaga (Bwindi Forest) using Enchanted Uganda Safaris with Bosco. Bosco picked me up in Kampala, drove me safely to Bwindi, and arranged accommodations at an awesome place called Rushaga Gorilla camp. Even though it was the "budget" option the room was quite comfortable, had hot running water for showering and the food was great. The dinner and lunch were at an extra cost but both were very reasonably priced. I got quotes from several different safari companies, and Enchanted Uganda Safaris had by far the best price. When we arrived to go on the Gorilla Trek there was some confusion regarding my permit and the rangers said I may not be able to go until the following day. Bosco straightened it out and I was able to go and it was an incredible experience. The guides for the actual trek for Gorilla Trekking will always be park employees- your safari guide is responsible for getting you there, securing lodging and permits, and getting you back safely. Bosco was flexible and returned me to Entebbe as requested instead of Kampala. The drive was pleasant and once outside of Kampala there was very little traffic. I highly recommend both Gorilla Trekking and Bosco. If you choose to go on a Gorilla trek please wear long pants, socks high enough you can tuck your pants into them (to prevent ants from climbing up your leg and biting you), and a rain jacket. Incredible experience!

Highly successful and enjoyable safari

Early in our planning to visit western Uganda, we contacted Bosco, wanting to deal with a local owner/ guide and not finding a preplanned safari that suited us. It was an excellent move. He replied promptly with a variety of suggestions and recommendations, always anxious to understand and accommodate our wishes. And at a very reasonable price. Once in Uganda, we continued to be impressed by his concern that our holiday is everything we wished for. He ensured that our accommodation always met expectations and continually checked that the itinerary and activities were what we wanted. Bosco is a skillful and knowledgeable safari guide as well as being personable and friendly, qualities that ensure both successful game viewing and enjoy traveling. He has our highest recommendation.
